My needs a simple, buy the family home, and not have to work, let my money work and provide me with an income. But I have read horror stories about people who thought they were doing the right thing. Get a financial advisor etc. but there are some real creeps out there, and I have read about people loosing millions by making the wrong decision. I guess these are good problems to have, but I just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone else had the same concerns

Hi John,

There’s two ways to earn money, you work for it or have enough of it working for you. There are higher risk, higher return and lower risk lower return vehicles. Two key factors in determining how much of each you need are, 1) how much money you have working for you and 2) how much income you will need to support the standard of living that you choose. These two factors will go a long way in determining how much income your money will need to earn.

Go to the book store and invest $20-$100 in books on personal finance, they could save you millions... Be sure to highlight the good stuff as you read. These books will help you understand the basics, and the more you know the better you can protect your money and make it grow, plus you’ll be better off when you do talk to a financial planner.

Don’t take my advice, but personally I like euros, oil, gold and of course Iraqi dinar. Beware of the U.S. dollar, it’s future is not looking too bright.

Hope this helps,
Boo

Great advice Boogirl... good to have some specific ideas in mind when we talk
with financial advisors... ez

I am just waiting on that one thing many of us have been waiting on for many years. The Big Payout!

Okay I finally made it back to the gym. Working on loosing those extra pounds so I can get the attention of the ladies. I know I'm shallow just kidding but I do have to loose a few pounds before that big vacation coming up. Okay lets get the dinar moving in the right direction so I can take that vacation in the Bahamas.

I need to be de-loused. I am tired of bozos . . .but I had to share something I just posted on IIF . . .another dillweed bashing SGS for no reason. Here goes:

My thoughts

My response:

or maybe she has moved to greener pastures where she doesnt have to worry about people bashing every word she posts. She has one of the most extensive networks of information gathering Ive seen anyone else share. She doesnt seem to want to elevate herself . . .other seem to put her on some kind of pedestal . . .and then throw rocks at her.

Maybe everyone should concentrate on searching for their own truth instead of searching for SGS.

How would you like being under a microscope with every word scrutinized over and over and over again. It gets kinda hot under the glass doesnt it.

Move on and get over it

ok, youre right. i dig the limelight thats why i stay up 20 hours a day researching news sites about iraq. ahh, the glory of it all.

nothing is going to happen with the dinar since youve got sources who would obviously tell you if there was anything going on over there. forgive my assumptions, as youve pointed out.

no, nothing has been happening to cause me to believe that the dinar is about to revalue. ive just been making all these news articles up and ive made up all the rest too. youre so damn quick at having caught my deception.

sigh, i suppose ill just hang around here and watch nothing happen with the rest of ya....

Susie has posts hoards of USEFUL information. Her predictions are purely speculation and all of use realize this. Well, almost all of us.

Perhaps you could use part of your "brain" to command your heart to be a little more understanding. That requires compassion and hope. Attributes I'm sure you have if you just look inside yourself.

We all want it to happen. Susie is perhaps the leader of the hopeful!

Keep up the great work Susie and ignore this guy....Is he a relative of CLAY'S ???!!???
