invest at least 25% of your gross salary and you will eventually be weathly at some point. Start reading stock option books, strategies, money management, and risk management books before you attempt to gamble at buying/selling options. Yes they give you more leverage than buying a share of stock but, it takes time to learn how to make consistent profits that outweigh your losses. If you want any recommendations for books let me know.(lots of bad investing/trading books, so don't listen to everything you read)
