First Decades Contribution

By Warren Contreras

Just a few more days and I will enter the 9th decade I have lived in and so far looking back, they have all been good to me. However, the one we are just finishing has risen as the pinnacle of achievement, mostly because being retired allowed me to have more time to improve my skills and apply them to the Internet for fun and profit.

It makes me wonder what retired people who came up short had to help them out a few years ago? I am so happy that I didn't end up on the business end of a spatula like so many of my peers do in today's society. The extra money opportunities in the United States are wide open online and the experience required is minimal.

The most important lessons I learned this decade are that compounding and leverage truly are the most powerful forces in the universe, just like Albert Einstein said. If we can be patient and persevere, big things can be built with tiny contributions over time.

I hope this next decade will be even better for us all, but it's hard to imagine it can for me. Life is great!

Warren Contreras is just an old retired guy that spends time learning how to make extra money online and after 10 years is getting pretty good at it.


Contributor's Note

I keep thinking where I would be today if I had not even tried this when I retired a decade ago. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step comes to mind.

Thank you for the happy note! you are right! I wonder the same thing about all people who have not felt the power of the internet world and what it can offer. Sometimes I take my lap top and work out in cafe's and once I asked a waitress: "Excuse me, do you have wi-fi? I meant wireless internet so I could connect there and sit to enjoy my coffee and she answered: "What is that Wi-Fi?"

That sounded a little weird to me. Finally they didn't have any :). I wish my country was more into the contemporary trends and innovative ideas like leveraging the internet to make your point for personal or professional reasons.

But hey, we have great weather here, that is a big pro.

Happy New Year Warren!

Greek Greetings!

Yes, thank goodness for the internet! I know about compounding...not sure about leverage.
