    Craigslist advice

    Ummm... Ok... So how much of flipping craigslist items is just flipping stolen goods? Awesome you're out there taking action, but I dunno if I'd do any more night time, parking lot meets in West LA next to strip clubs...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I read it last year before joining the forum but haven't posted in this thread yet. Since then I've recommended it to others. It's not only an informative read but an entertaining one, and very inspirational. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a run of the mill 'get rich quick' book...

    Book on how to understand her ?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    That's interesting, didn't know that. Formhandle ie. one of the original mASF owners? Or someone else? There was alot of money in that back in it's peak especially for the trainers, the guys that built brands and then hired other trainers to do all the training would have made a mint...

    Money Management

    Pretty much covered in the posts above, but if you want an extreme example here's one from personal experience. I was in roughly the same position as you after graduating, I wanted to save as much as possible in a year from my first job paying only 45k, that was about 35k after tax. Out of that...

    Job Security?

    MINDSET 
    I agree completely Vig, job security doesn't exist. I do however believe 'Career' security exists. That is, for highly skilled professionals with plenty of experience in a field that is easily transferable from business to business. We don't really care who the employer is, we are our own...

    My 1000th Post.. LOSE THE JOB, NOW!!!

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Jack, I love this post. Very inspirational, thank you. My biggest fear though is that for every story like yours, there are 10 where the protagonist ends up broke and broken. It's a question I battle with every day, bite the bullet and leave or just keep working on the business on the side...

    $7,000,000 in 4 years

    EXECUTION 
    You've forgotten inflation in your calculations. If you want to earn approx 46k present day value a month indefinitely, then you'll need to shoot for 11mil. This is assuming 8% returns and 3% inflation long term, this would allow you to re-invest 3% of the returns to cater for inflation. So that...

    Too scared to call her, wtf is wrong with me!?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    It would actually be better for you if you call and get rejected. You're freaking out about calling some girl and posting about it online. What happens if she says yes, then it turns into a relationship, then 6 months down the track she's treating you like crap, are you going to have the balls...

    Sounds like you're on the right track. Only thing I would recommend is looking into outsourcing your SEO to a reputable firm (cost might not be justified though), still it's worth exploring to see if they can improve your rankings, assuming this isn't already your area of expertise, even if it...

    Book- The Money Code: Become a Millionaire with the Ancient Jewish Code

    Mmmmm.. It's hard. Let's assume an average 6% pa return on investment, first deduct tax, so to simplify lets just say that leaves us with about 4% ROI. Then factor in inflation (if your living off investment returns then you need to still build your capital to cater for inflation long term by...

    Hi Mate How hard are you marketing your products? I couldn't find them on the typical Aussie shopping aggregators, so myshopping.com.au, getprice.com.au, shopbot.com.au etc. Any reason you aren't on those sites? Did you engage an SEO firm to handle the SEO/SEM or did you do it yourself? Run...

    Determining the Size of Your Market

    Great article Joona thanks for the link. it pretty much covers what I do, that is: 1. Set up basic sales page for your web app (I just use weebly) with a sign-up/purchase/free trial form 2. Drive traffic there by purchasing google/bing ads 3. Observe your impressions vs clicks vs conversion...

    PARENTS: Best way to store/save/invest money for children??

    INVESTING 
    In some things, in some things not. Rubbing it in? You can whack some cash in an Aussie account tomorrow if you wanted. They'll welcome it, so what's your problem? Love Rickson9's comment on cash. In this instance though, investing in your child. Something that is set and forget with as little...

    PARENTS: Best way to store/save/invest money for children??

    INVESTING 
    oh ok, I didn't think you meant actual paper money :) in that case I totally understand. All term deposits, or online savings accounts beat inflation, at least over here, maybe not so there. Either way it's not just inflation, you also have to factor in... Tax implications. I'm not familiar...

    Since asking I've gone through and read some of your archived posts. Definitely some interesting stuff there, very buffett/graham influenced from what I have read so far.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think most of your post seems spot on. Except for the above quote, I can't speak for the billionaire parents, but the multi-millionaire parents tend to simply not care too much how much their children earn (at least from what I've seen, granted it's a small sample size). It may seem...

    OFF-TOPIC TAXES | REGS 
    Yes, I second this. Many of Australia's rich are moving to Singapore for 2 reasons, tax benefits and proximity to Australia. However I thought Japan was the safest most orderly country in the world? ;) Either way you wouldn't know the difference, both very safe. What amazed me was how orderly...

    PARENTS: Best way to store/save/invest money for children??

    INVESTING 
    Interesting? Why do you feel that is the case? My parents used term deposits and it paid for most of my education. So it worked for them. At the time I don't know if 'Education Savings Plans' existed. These are essentially low yield investment funds, with a number of options and relative...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Of course. We used to target residential, the volumes were huge. Different market. I'm guessing less complaints, cooling off cancellations and less attrition with a commercial customer base as well. Downside is if you lose a couple key customers it's presumably going to really hurt. With Res it...
