Fewer opportunities today!

If you have only a little capital and are young today, there are fewer opportunities than when I was young. Back then, we had just come out of a depression. Capitalism was a bad word. There had been abuses in the 1920s. A joke going around then was the guy who said, 'I bought stock for my old age and it worked - in six months, I feel like an old man!' It's tougher for you, but that doesn't mean you won't do well - it just may take more time. But what the heck, you may live longer.

- Charles Munger
