All of us have these little demons. They are called money leaks. These are the little things that we spend money on that are not quite thought as so. But hey are.
The soft drink at the 7/11. The candy bar. Magazines. Little things we all buy. Ebay purchases, clothes. Things we don't really need but buy. This is associated with pleasure. We all need some pleasure in our lives. So do not worry about it unless you do not have it figured into your budget. What, you do not have a budget? That is OK too. Just wing it. Most of us are living hand to mouth anyway.
But what is money anyway? It is a tool. Most of us trade our time and effort for money (work). Others have money through various means. They may have inherieted it or won the lottery. Or getting welfare or enitilements. Those are the smart ones. Little or no effort to get money.
So what are your money leaks. Gambling, hobbies, eating out all the time or whatever. It wold be nice to just have money to buy and do whatever you want and not have to do anything for it. Perhaps in the future no one will have to do anything and just have what they want. But then who would do things for you?

The Best Way To Build Wealth
The best is not necessarily the easiest but easy is OK. An easy way to build wealth is to inherit. Have a nice little trust fund and live as you want. Nice little package if you can get it. If you are somewhat intelligent and do not fall prey of people taking advantage of you it is good. But beware. There are always people out to take what you have. So keep a low profile and do not tell people what you have. Buy a Subaru and be an asshole to people that work hard for a living and become a liberal. Even though your wealth was derived from the development of the atomic bomb. Just don't tell anybody.
The next best way to build wealth is to win a lottery. You are broke then bang. You are rich. All of a sudden you have more friends and family then you can shake a stick at. But the caveat is they will take you out and bleed you to death. only to be poor within two years. Just like professional athletes. And you will never see them again unless there is still something left to gain from you. Kind of like a carnival ride. Fun while it lasted. But will not last forever. Although you can be part of the ten percent that retain the windfall, move to Wyoming, cancel your cell phone and start living like Grizzly Adams. Taking the next level. Buy a Subaru, be an asshole and become liberal. Or if you are cool buy an old Chevrolet four wheel drive, live in a cabin and raise a few cattle. Just to piss off the vegans and animal people (who are trust fund babies) of course.
Third thing is to go on disability. This is a strong base to provide a base income so that at you pursue other things that keep you from doing the things you really want to do. The spare time can be used for anything. No need for work wasting all your week.
The last thing is the least desirable and difficult. That is to work and save. Although that is what most of us have to deal with.

Old Educational Films
A few years ago I was cruising through You Tube watching all kinds of videos. I stumbled upon the old educational films. That if you are old enough used to see in school. Everything from hygiene, nutrition, exercise, behavior, cooking, cleaning and occupational topics. I watched these for hours. Don't forget the nuclear bomb ones!
Some of these were campy. But facts are facts, no matter how old. A lot of these I seen at school. But if you get tired of watching the same old things give it a try.
Also industries like railroads had their own promotional and educational films. Did you know the New York Central Railroad started using electric signaling systems in 1875? Did you know American railroads operated at one hundred miles an hour in the thirties? Do you know how many people railroads used to employ? The railroads were doing the majority of food products, manufactured produced and long range personal travel was provided by railroads. We seem to have a desire to have light rail systems. Well at the turn of the twentieth century most metro areas had electric commuter rail systems. I know personally of a light rail system that stretched out that stretched out thirty miles east and west.
There are also food shopping and nutritional guides. Again facts are facts. Facts that say many different meats have the same amount of fats, protein, etc. Portions and how to buy to not waste. These films again seem campy. But do contain a lot of facts. And again. Facts are facts. But these films make sense now. I found it interesting that most meats whether it be smoked sausage or steak have nearly the same nutritional value. It also appears that canned vegetables had an A, B and C rating. A being the premium and C the least. This particular film also touched upon the differences of fresh, canned and frozen foods. Portions were also mentioned as to how much to buy. As the film started out with a hungry husband stopping at the market on the way home buying all kinds of stupid stuff. With the well dressed housewife having a shopping list later showing how to shop. You know the facts. Do not shop hungry and have a list. Again old facts that are just as true now as they have always been!
I could go on and on. Check it out!
