Oh, I kept the first for another day,
Monster headphones! Yet knowing how way leads onto way,
online ###### shops, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost(1916)
And that made all the difference.
Over the years, I have often reflected upon Robert Frost's poem. Choosing not to listen to my highly educated dad's advice and attitude about money was a painful decision, but it was a decision that shaped the rest of my life.
Once I made up my mind whom to listen to, my education about money began. My rich dad taught me over a period of 30 years,
Newport 100s Cigarettes, until I was age 39. He stopped once he realized that I knew and fully understood what he had been trying to drum into my often thick skull.
