Hi, this is my first ever post on this forum.
I am 16 yeas old kid. Like most, i was born in a middle class family. When i was a little kid, i'd ask dad how do other get rich?(Clueless kid). He'd tell to study hard, settle for less, don't dream big and all of the slowlane stuff. But, one day a good friend of him gave a book called Rich Dad poor dad to me to read.
i didn't read cuz during time, i was pretty clueless about life. And one day, dad got sick and lost one of his kidney and my mom used to be very happy and smile, but suddenly everything changed for her someday i would see her cry alone. When i turned 15, as i get to know the society more and more, it seemed that Money is very important. So, i began to research about it wanting be successful one day and see mom as she used to be. I learned about assets and liabilities thingy, but i feel like it was missing something. How the heck can i invest in assets and stuff with the little penny working a job. After more digging i came across TMF . Mj's book opened my eyes esp from the slowlane everyone was choking me with. To find needs and solve problems, to do something better than what is already done.

Now, i've found the need and i'd hear many people complaining, b**tching about their problems.
However, i don't know how to make it a reality. The estimate cost of it is amounted to $30k .
As you've seen from the title, i don't know how to get to cash needed to do it. An average salary here is just $5k a year. Work 2 jobs would still take a long time and to include living cost. it'd take ages. if anyone could share some tips and wisdom, it'd be Great.

if this question is ret-rded in anyway, i apologize.
