The second thing is how do I save? Well, what should I put my saving in?

When thinking about what you should put your saving in, realize that the least risk investment, the one you think is the least risk investment, which is cash, is the worst investment over a period of time. You could judge that by judging the rate of inflation in relationship to the after-tax income you're going to earn.

So, if you have an inflation rate that's two or three percent and you're earning one percent, and you have to pay taxes on that one percent or two percent that you're going to get, you're going to get taxed essentially at two percent a year, and that's going to be a problem.

So, you have to move into assets. When you do that, the most important thing I can convey to you is to diversify well. Because I can guarantee you that one of those assets, and you won't be able to pick the right one, will be disastrous in your lifetime. You will lose half of that savings if you're in the wrong one, and you won't know what the right one is.

A trick that always works...
