FinancialFreedom My wife and I rent a small apartment in Santa Monica, California for even more than what you pay for your house. But it's close to the beach and in a nice area. I definitely consider the rent to be expensive but buying is even more expensive. I once...

Best investment for the next 18-months?

investorshub @investorshub (286) • United States 8 Jul 07

The real estate market is not what it used to be due to inflated prices, higher interest rates, tightened credit processes, subprime meltdown, &C. The stock market has done well while the bond market is rebounding to a certain...

FinancialFreedom It all depends on your goals, your geographic preferences and your time horizon. Of course... My personal preference is clearly shares as they deliver the best long-term return. I know there are derivatives but I understand too little about this market...

FinancialFreedom Sounds like a solid investment. You should immediately stop working. Start enjoying life. If you invest $1000 and just wait for 5 years, you will have $243,000 without work. I am sure that this investment is not only guaranteed but risk-free as well. Please...

Lost money in HYIPs?

tombiz @tombiz (2036) • Philippines 4 Jul 07

High Yield Investment Program (HYIP) ia a very nice-sounding name for a scam patterned after the PONZI system. Basically, PONZI means that the interest and money paid to investors are also coming from the investors themselves...

FinancialFreedom In my opinion, it's clearly greed that drives people in "too good to be true" schemes. Why work if you can find free money on the street, right? Than add the terms "no risk", "guaranteed" and "safe" and someone gets rich fast...sadly, it won't be you but some...

How do I Know he/ she is serious ?

Wino22 @Wino22 (38) • Malaysia 5 Jul 07

If someone tell you that she/ he need help in money, & ask you to help, how you know he/she is serious ?

how to know

FinancialFreedom You probably know the answer already yourself - you can never be sure. People tend to tell stories when it comes to money, even your best friends. I would say, separate friendship and money if possible because money is often (based on my experience) the end...

FinancialFreedom I am unclear what you are really looking for. Is it financial freedom or is it "some extra buck quickly"? There is no quick solution for the first but if you just intend to make a bit more per month get a second job or try to run a business on the side that...

FinancialFreedom S'pore is a nice and friendly city with many great people. In addition, you get excellent food and have cool shopping. The only downside is probably the constant humidity -- but you easily get used to it...so no complaints.

FinancialFreedom Are these two things connected? You have to save and invest at the same time. Saving is spending less then you receive and investing is what you do with the excess without spending it. I mean even putting money in a savings account is investing - just with a...

What do you think of Realtors?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 12 Apr 07

I have a Real Estate license and tried to work in the profession. I got the feeling a lot of people don't trust Realtors or think that they can sell their homes without a Realtor. If you were trying to buy or sell a home would you...

FinancialFreedom You probably write with the US bubble market in mind. This market made it realatively easy until the first half of 2006 to sell residential real estate. Thus, many people wanted the easy money and got their real estate licence. This brought a certain type of...

FinancialFreedom Well, it depends how much value you place on your time. My experience is that you can earn some money with completing offers, surveys or via shadow shopping but that the payout per hour is pretty bad. Having that said, if you love these activities and don't...
