What's funny is this advice has always been given to us by our parents. Remember this? "If all your friends jumped off a bridge, then would you too?". Thanks Eric.

I imagine the hardest of these is "Paying attention to the right people." What makes this difficult is finding the right people. One might assume the folks with the most "stuff" are the right people, but as we can learn from books like "Millionaire Next Door" the folks with "stuff" aren't the ones to seek advice from. It's also difficult to ask others about their own financial situation when they are dishing out advice. For me, I did like you mentioned, and did my own research. I found what made sense to me and constructed my own financial plans. This is solid advice.
