    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I think I may be reading too many books right now and not taking enough action...in any event, this is what I have on my plate currently - Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller; Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins; a book about the law of attraction, forget the author's name...

    What happened to the members section, that listed each member, join date, etc... Mere curiosity, I guess.

    As a person who came to the RD forum toward the end of its usefulness, I was never able to truly appreciate what the "old days" were all about. Now that I have been in the Fastlane for a while, I think I know what you RD old-timers were talking about. The wealth of knowledge on this forum...

    $3,000 to $1,000,000 in 15 months: HOW TO DO IT

    IDEA 
    Russ, I'm glad you posted this thread. It has had me thinking since I read it this morning. Truth is, reading this thread has made me completely re-evaluate the "plan" I was putting together for myself that I was hoping to get posted in the next few days. Because that plan didn't aim...

    REAL ESTATE 
    You guys are all being terrific in your responses and your advice. Thanks to all that have posted thus far. Russ, I am working on those goals right now. Infact, I have been for the last few days. If I don't get them done by Tuesday a.m., look for them within a day or so after. A lot of...

    Flip or CF?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Great answers...I appreciate the replies. tbsells, your reply was great and you bring up some points that I am considering already. To Andviv, your post is eye-opening. One of my issues right now is focus, or lack thereof. In the longrun, $500/mo would be nice, but it isn't what I really...

    Flip or CF?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I have been researching available properties in my area and have located two with good potential. One is a SFR that I would flip - if I can get it at the price I think I can, put 10k-12k into it, I could sell it for a profit of roughly $20k. The other is a 200 year old 3-unit in a good area...

    The "Dirty" word... J.O.B.

    Hey Russ, I like to read what you post. As I have noted in other posts in the past, you are a good model to emulate in the quest for financial freedom. Just curious, though...a week or so ago you posted a place holder in the "Dream Cars/Dream Toys" thread over on RD for (in my opinion) one...

    Real Estate Agents

    I'm usually long-winded, so I'll try to keep this short and cut straight to the point... I am looking to get out of my current job. It pays "well" and has "good" benefits. My problem with it is I truly feel it has a major negative impact on my life. Better yet, it drains a little more life out...

    Suggestion: Bring Over some of the Classics?

    What the heck does the banana mean??? I'll tell ya!..... :banana: "Its peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time..." Or for a better example of the banana in action: YouTube - Family Guy Peanut Butter Jelly Time In my mind one of the series' better moments. PS: The...

    Is Robert Kiyosaki Done with Yahoo?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Robert Kiyosaki's bi-weekly columns on Yahoo! seem to have ended. That, or they are two days late. I know a lot of RK haters posted negative comments about him. I wonder if that finally caught up with him and Yahoo discontinued the column. :( Anybody have any information on this?

    Why I Left RD Forums

    OFF-TOPIC 
    No kidding. There are one or two with closer to 800 or so posts (speaking of time well spent :eek:) that just unnerve me when I see their stuff. Don't get me wrong, either. I am far from where I want to be in both my personal and business life. But all that noise was too unsettling for me...

    Why I Left RD Forums

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I Did It, too... Well I finally did it everyone. I officially logged out of the Rich Dad forums for the last time. Like the rest of you, I have grown all too tired of the non-doers who sit around on their computers all day and do nothing toward the development of themselves, all the while...

    Suggestion: Bring Over some of the Classics?

    Just a thought... Could we bring some of the "classic" posts over from the other forum and put them in here? Maybe even some of the more recent topics that got started and were either hijacked or simply left behind. The Utah's 300 post, the Appreciation and Leverage post from Steve O., those...

    For you, Erin? I like the name "Big Sister" That is a name I've been using for probably 15 years in various areas of entertaining hobbies, even though I'm not a woman. It has been a staple in one of the FF leagues that I've been in for probably 6 years as well. :)
