Posted at: 2015-05-24 
I'm 16 and I currently work and get paid $9.00hr I work only on saturdays and during any days we have off (holidays, summer break etc.) What can I do to be able to become financially wealthy, when im older? By the way on saturdays i work from 6-12:00 and days i dont have school 6-3:30, and i've managed to save up about $500 so far.

1. Get a good career.

2. Save.

3. Invest.

4. Make $$$

get a good education in a field which interests you and will have longevity

your investments now should focus on dividend paying growing stocks which increase dividends every year without exception. establish an account at a brokerage like scott trade or schwab and assure you will have full access to the account when you turn 18. examples of the stock which increase every year their dividends, like Coca Cola (KO is the symbol) has increased every year for fifty years!

Save between 25% and 50% of you income for the rest of forever.

you absolutely need job training or education after high school to have any hope of a financially comfortable life and then you have a save/invest a good chunk of every paycheck

Get a good career

education
