    Money Management Habit - How to Save or Blow Money

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I think it's far from typical... but hey I'm not a typical guy I guess! I started these accounts about 8 years ago in my early 20s. At that time I needed over 50% of my income to live off of for my "necessities" account.. now I could by with 10-15% so it depends on your situation. I use my...

    How to "adjust" your wife accordingly

    LANDFILL 
    This thread should be called "How to adjust myself accordingly" - Next time I'll use all the time I wasted making a chart to make the extra money and pay for the expensive carpet

    Money Management Habit - How to Save or Blow Money

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    It may be a different case in the US, as I'm in Canada (Scotiabank). There's a few banks though I know of that you can have multiple savings accounts with no minimum monthly fee. The caveat is that you can't withdraw from a branch or make bill payments from the accounts--otherwise there's a...

    Money Management Habit - How to Save or Blow Money

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    For people who don't like budgeting, I can't praise this enough. This system is great because you can change the numbers to cater to your current lifestyle. I've changed my accounts around based on my goals and income at the moment. Update on accounts: Necessities 15 Fun/MOTORHOME USA (goal...

    Countdown to Financial Freedom

    EXECUTION 
    Haha! Thanks for bumping this. Have been grinding lately and forgot to update. Can't believe it's almost been a year! Since last post I've sold 2 of my under-performing rental properties which has lowered my cashflow but increased capital considerably. I've been allocating 75% of my income to my...

    In what way did you dabble in Real Estate? I'm always curious what someone means when they say they used to "dabble" in something.

    Just finished the Slight Edge, great book! I've probably ordered about half of the books in this thread. Good to hear everyone's faves.

    HOW would YOU spend $500?

    INVESTING 
    After listening to the many financial gurus out there I'd use the MAGICAL power of compound interest! Let's see I'm 30 now... if simply let my money sit in a conservative investment earning 5% compounded annually, by the time I'm 65 I'd have 2,758.01! Then I'd go out and buy a weeks worth of...

    You seem to be an easy guy to dislike based on this thread. When you come to the forum next to ask for help or constructive advice-- do you think that your attitude will make people want to help you?

    STAPLES: The Books you CONTINUE to Re-Read

    BOOKS 
    Hey guys, Don't know if there's been a thread for this... There's a lot of great books out there. I'll often read a book and be done with it, but there's some that stick. Wanted to see what books people continue to re-read? List for me. These are books I've read 5x, 10x or more: The Way of...

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    Depends on the house size. The upstairs is around 2000sqft. If it were equal size 50/50 would be fair for sure

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    I don't have property management as I live there. Tenants upstairs pay 70% utilities so there's 30% utility cost plus any repairs (which are minimal). I bank all the cashflow in an account used for future rental properties (or expenses if they come up). Even if I have a larger expense though my...

    What's Your REAL Money System Target?

    EXECUTION 
    If you want MEGA-interest returns with little to no work at all, I'd suggest binary options. Sit at home, stare at your computer screen and laugh uncontrollably as the money pours in.

    REAL STATE INDUSTRY - Is The RE Agent in Danger?

    I think that I would, I hope I don't have to. In 5 years I plan on being on a beach somewhere with a margarita in hand ;) I became a Realtor knowing it wasn't my end game. What I get from being a Realtor with the brokerage I'm with is #1 amazing investment knowledge and #2 priotity access to...

    REAL STATE INDUSTRY - Is The RE Agent in Danger?

    MARKETING 
    I feel it depends largely on the group you join and what systems they have. The average agent at our team does 30+ deals per year (the average in my city is less than 10). I did over 40 my very first year, and one of our newest partners broke 60 his first year and is set to break that number on...

    REAL STATE INDUSTRY - Is The RE Agent in Danger?

    MARKETING 
    Realtor here... If you got into RE as a Realtor with the impression it'd be Fastlane you'd definitely be disappointed. It violates at least 4-- at the very least 3 of the commandments. The only commandment it fulfills is need. And possibly scale--but that's only if you can position yourself...
