I am no investment Guru !

But I was bought up to spend carefully . Shy away from credit cards and save for a rainy day . I did that .

AS it is with most people , When I was younger I dreamed of having my home free and clear . I had always heard and had been told that once your home is paid for the next one comes easy . I believed that and still do .

I was also told that no one would ever be as wealthy as some of the super rich were back when I was a kid . I did not believe that and still don't .

I always hope to someday look back and see a net worth of a Million plus in my credit report . That was my measuring stick to how I was doing in life . Now I look back and most folks have that and a lot more . A million ain't worth a lot anymore .

I sometimes wonder where my kids will be someday in their net worth . Its almost scary the way cost keep going up .


Remember when Bubble Gum was 2 cents ? Those were the days!!!!

Yup, debt free is the way to be, baby! I love my much simpler lifestyle and the freedoms it affords me, including reducing my stress levels immensely.

Now if could just get that investing thing down ....

I think it is "less investing" and "more saving" that works for me . I do ok on my stock Portfolio but I still like solid investments in real estate . I just traded stock for a nice ranch today . I can actually enjoy the ranch and not have to worry about it going up or down in value . I bought at the right price . I'll add it to my acreage of the main ranch and let it grow in value over many years . I may never see the returns but my kids will .
