Real Estate Can Be Like Fishing In a Farm Pond
Posted on August 31, 2007 - Filed Under Success Tips Articles | Leave a Comment
If you read the news, you know we are heading into a down real estate market, one that I predict will fall much more before it hits bottom and starts to rebound. There are many telltale signs that support this prediction. Until this past spring, I had not been approached by a builder offering to discount a new spec home in more than three years. In the last two months, I’ve been approached by five different developers trying to unload properties that they built expecting to turn quickly for big profits. Unfortunately they started construction when the market was at its peak and by the time the properties were ready to sell, the buyer had dwindled rapidly.

Becoming A Collector Can Be A Fun Way To Save
Posted on August 24, 2007 - Filed Under Success Tips Articles | Leave a Comment
Almost everyone has been a collector at some point in life. It may have been marbles, dolls or baseball cards as a child or plates, clocks, stamps, guns, etc. as adults. Many collectibles are fads that have little or no value over time, but are fun to collect while they are popular. Other types of collectibles have established base values with good potential for growth, but these don’t typically fall into the fad category. I mention this because there is a big difference between collecting as a hobby versus collecting to save and build wealth.

Bill L HI AL
santo hi roger
Al Lee Hi, Mike, Riger, everyone
Mike_Summey santo, the rate that dropped is not the rate that will cause prime to go down. I expect we will see a drop in the prime rate after the next FED meeting.

Have you ever tried to check out in a grocery store or fast food restaurant when the computers malfunctioned and wouldn’t tell the clerk how much change to give? I had this happen twice in the past week and the results might have been comical except for the fact that they speak volumes about what children are being taught in school today. One incident occurred at the grocery store near my home and the other at a fast food restaurant across town.

Wealth Reduces Stress Instead of Causing It
Posted on August 10, 2007 - Filed Under Success Tips Articles | Leave a Comment
Recently I was part of a program on wealth building at a large national convention. After the program, I was confronted by one of the participants who wanted me to know that there was more to life than building wealth. I listened intently as he told me about the people he knew or had known that had ruined their health or died at an early age from stress because they were constantly trying to earn more money. He said that given the choice, he would prefer to be poor and healthy than rich and not able to enjoy it.

It’s Time To Start Planning Your Vacation
Posted on August 3, 2007 - Filed Under Success Tips Articles | Leave a Comment
I recently had an experience I felt was worth writing about. I walked into a small local restaurant planning to grab a quick lunch alone, but when I arrived, all of the tables were taken. I looked around and saw two acquaintances seated at a table for six, so I went over and asked if they would mind me joining them. “Sure, pull up a seat; we were just talking about the vacation we’re going on next week,” one of them responded.
