    No Lambo for Get-Rich-Slow Folks?

    HOT! 
    As a side note, it cracks me up when I hear about people concerned about the cost of repairs on an exotic car. If you can truly afford a car like that, repair costs are not an issue. I have friends who own an Enzo Ferrari, Rolls Royce Phantom, Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DB9Convertible...

    No Lambo for Get-Rich-Slow Folks?

    HOT! 
    I agree that most people who drive nice cars financially probably shouldn't be driving those cars. Most people like to try to look rich, but are barely getting by. I used to lease (actually was a better tax write-off for me) several Mercedes and bought a new Range Rover (piece of sh*t!) and pay...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    mtnman-May want to preface stories like that that it's someone else's story, not yours! Confused some people here. I thought it was about you too. You temporarily lost some major respect points with me thinking you authored that post. (respect points reinstated...Glad you're not the *ss in that...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Re: I was an internet millionaire. Wow-started off well enough. Don't think I needed to know you still beat off to a picture of a hot chick/got high/threesomes. Is that supposed to be impressive or aspirational? :smxE:

    REAL ESTATE 
    I live in California and have a lot of properties in and around Dallas. You can crunch data (census, realtors, etc). and find areas with economic and job growth (big stable companies providing jobs, good school systems, etc).

    Tough decisions to make.....

    REAL ESTATE 
    dbaker-You may be able to do an AITD and/or assume a loan that is currently on a property from the current owner. (Basically you takeover the note and make the payments). Or you may be able to get financing from the current owner or have them do a "wrap mortgage", where the current owner keeps...

    Question for MJ . . .

    Russ-I think a lot of us who were riding the good economic times (and the real estate wave more specifically) got a real b*tch slap when the market tanked, even though we saw it coming. I think the true entrepreneur looks for new opportunities in any economic situation. You have to evaluate...

    The $1,055 Premium ... FAIL

    HOT! 
    MJ-I've had the same thing happen to me too, with people thinking that they can overcharge based on my house/address. I don't understand why these guys assume that wealthy people are either: a) stupid or b) willing to ridiculously overpay. It's definitely the principle that they think they can...

    Leaving a job at a company I love - how to give notice?

    Sid23-You're a good guy! Definitely don't put off the new company to wait until both owners are face to face to start the 2 or 3 week notice. Give your notice WHEN YOUR OFFER/CONTRACT IS SIGNED. You're being really great doing everything you can with your current co, but don't jeopardize the new...

    Fastlane = Early death?

    It's funny-most of the obese people I see are broke and most of the super-wealthy people I know are in good shape. I've heard the saying that "your self worth dictates your net worth". If you respect yourself, have confidence and a good self-image, you seem to fair better financially as well. Do...

    The word "retire" or "retirement"

    MINDSET 
    I agree that the stereotypical connotation of retire relates to old and passive. Hey MJ-I was the VP Creative Director for a huge Int'l ad agency previously. I specialized in branding and positioning specifically. PM me if you'd like me to pitch in with the real title (confidentially). Would...

    Wildflower-thanks for sharing this. Rep++ Impressed that your 18 year-old is interested in going too.
