Re: invest in what you know

lol you use yada yada, havn't heard that in years. I think I am going to try to start using it more often.

You do bring up a good point about financing on cars and home improvement etc. I think that eventually if people put everything on credit, they would get too much debt and not have the funds to pay it off. Paying in cash makes sure you have the funds to buy whatever you are purchasing. It would make sense to finance everything that you can get a good rate on, but I could see it causing people to spend more than they should making it a bad idea.

I don't know anything right now, just a little bit of everything. What should I be investing in? :(

Most people think short term, its just our nature I guess. It is hard to change your way of thinking but the sooner you do, the better off you will be. Of course everyone would like to get rich quickly, but most of the time thats just not an option.

Well its good you will be able to get back to saving. Hopefully you can start banking everything that you would have made problogging. Just keep working at it and soon enough you will be able to retire. Hopefully before 2017. Retiring doesn't mean you have to sit on the porch all day. If I were retired I would probably be working on a million small projects (and fishing).

There is only 1 way to find out. You could always save up a bit of money, then take the plunge and quit contracting and give the problogging a go. You're a good writer, I think you could do it.

Oh brother, I know a bunch of people who read "the secret". Their wishes never came true. Then they assume, I wasn't thinking about it hard enough or whatever. Personally I don't believe in that stuff. What happened to good old hard work.

I wish, in a calm, safe manner, in a way that nobody gets hurt, that every1 would stop reading "the secret". :) that how u supposed to do it?
