Duane was amazed as I started talking about gold and different types of investments. This is something I can understand because most of my generation isn&#8217;t searching for a future ahead of them rather than just focused on the &#8220;now&#8221;. While I was waiting for a teacher to arrive I wasn&#8217;t expecting the wonderful man who was sent to talk to me by my girlfriend. Duane has truly &#8220;ruined my life&#8221; with joy, gratitude, an expansive network, and lots of great info every 21 years old should know.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love how much attention to detail and effort Duane puts into every moment of his life. He squeezes every second to help others get in a better place in their lives. That inspired me to keep talking to Duane and also made me want to help others. Duane taught me that independence is only one a piece of the puzzle and the rest is the network. Being an expert in one area is better than being good in a few areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saving money is one of the biggest lessons I&#8217;ve learned from Duane; I felt that I could never save more than six hundred dollars. When Duane explained that I had to keep six months, preferably a year&#8217;s worth of living expenses, I questioned how long it would take to save up that amount. During the pandemic, however, I had enough saved for eight months worth of living expenses while being laid-off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duane helped me understand that the only reason you need an excellent credit score is to go into debt. I learned that we must have the cash to afford what we want in life and invest at the right time. Hearing that made something click in my brain. I then started the process of getting rid of every loan I had. Yes, it may affect me now, but I am very grateful I made this mistake at such a young age with very few responsibilities.&nbsp; Plan A, B, and C are another construct Duane has helped me develop.&nbsp; This type of thinking was fascinating because it carried a lot of confidence in every decision. I am so grateful for such an amazing, caring, and loving person to come into our lives. Duane is always happy and can manifest happiness anywhere he goes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, Mr. Duane, for being on this earth; the world needs more people like you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check back from time to time to read the update by Bruce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will never forget my first interaction with Duane: a very intriguing conversation on future goals and ambitions I had in my life.
