I stopped all gratification spending.

Also, I believe that many people were in my position and did not make a very high W2 earned income and from what people have told me here, by message, text, and on the phone that I have been an inspiration to change the way they look at things, so the things they look at may change right before their eyes.I don't offer something for nothing, instantaneuos gratification, or diseased mentality.  

I don't believe in instant gratification, something for nothing, basically mentally diseased, GARBAGE!!!  

“You really wanted to be branded as a sexual offender and have to register as such for the rest of your life?

Limit your expenses - if it's not housing, food, or transportation, don't spend money on it - think long term, delay gratification, scrap like crazy to make as much money as possible.

Yes, saving in a tin jar is not ideal, but for kids its important to teach the concept of delayed gratification (it's so missed in today's culture). 

Understand delayed gratification and understand not letting people know.

@Jessie Reddtwo recurring themes are delayed gratification and who you surround yourself with.For me, it was definitely the people I was surrounding myself with. 

Free market is always the best long-term plan, but our "immediate gratification" culture won't allow the time necessary for it to work itself out.
