Looking for some inspiration/help with Mindset - on a little rut
MINDSETYou mentioned that you might like to hear others' stories. I'll mention mine. When I was buying up my houses I was only making $30k. Each new house gave me $250/mo cashflow, and at a time all 5 were occupied, but when I had some vacancies I had to get a job in the big city 90 miles away. It...- Seamster

Feeling Depressed: the Struggling Middle Class and Who to Blame
OFF-TOPICCan you please delete your post? You didn't read the original post. If you had, you would see that a) I'm not talking about myself at all here and b) I'm explaining how the economy works, not requesting what I should study.

Market Predictions Based on History
INVESTINGFrom what I've seen, the 0.01% bought everything in appx 2011 when the S&P500 was under 1000, then, if they sold a few years later when it reached 2500 or so, they would have doubled their money. They would have sold in Feb 2020 (even I did that) and bought back a few months later for more...- Seamster

John Burley Real Estate Training, April 2-4 and 8-10, Phoenix, AZ
REAL ESTATEJohn Burley is the man who made Robert Kiyosaki all of his riches in real estate. His name is mentioned in one of Kiyosaki's books, which is where I first heard of him. I've listened to dozens of gurus but John Burley is my favorite. His website looks scammy but believe me, he's legit. I've...- Seamster

My 2022 Prediction: Price Controls
INVESTINGYou do realize that the government is the one causing inflation, right? They're printing all this money to prevent what would have been worse in 2009, which, BTW, they also caused by creating the predatory lending practices of 1997-2007. Yet, still printing. Prolonging.

Should I Get a Job to Secure a Loan?
...or buying machinery. You know, lend $20k here and $20k there.

Quitting Your Job: What Will You Do? How Did it Feel?
Not excited about going back. I'm happiest when I know I don't have to wake up early the next day. That means I can do whatever I want at night as late as I want to. I can live on the income from my properties. I don't need to work. With the income and my savings I could probably live like...- Seamster
