Follow the cycle and don't stop half way.
Get Money- Popular opinion is that you need money to get money, any contrary opinion?
Once you have started getting money the next objective should be how to get more.
Save money- To save money is good, another popular opinion to support this is that , the money you save today will save you tomorrow.
The problem however results when you just keep saving money pointlessly without any plans on how what to do with it, The worse of all is saving money in fiat banks, that money will loose value in no time at all.
Invest money- This for me is the last stage in the cycle that creates more money for you to be able to get more money. More money betters ones opportunities.
Follow the cycle, don't stop halfway at saving money.
Getting money is the tough task as well, because its hard and it takes lot of time to save enough money.
