Wow! I was starting to get very pissed at myself for wasting so much time reading this thread. In the process, I icqd someone here that I didn't know before and now we arranged a generous traffic deal. Thanks Brad!
It's nice to see Peaches and Ron making amends and I learned a couple things about investing. I love the Samsonite story too. I had no idea.
Creating your own luck... It's funny because me and my family were in a deep discussion about this very subject last night. I used to be such a pussy about everything and I hated taking risks. The more I accepted that I simply had bad luck, the more I would lose. I know now the worst thing that can happen is that I lose everything I own. I've done this several times and now it's not so scary. It's not that difficult to build back up if your goals are high to begin with.
I wanted to be a real estate when I was 18 and my parents strongly discouraged me from doing it. They said no one would ever take me seriously. My family was also appalled by what I do on the internet, but now they say very little since I make more money than my Dad who has broken his back at the same job for over 30 years. I think I have a better start than most who make 10 times what I do because I have not one single bill.
I hope to learn the "correct" way of building several nest eggs for myself by investing but I honestly have no clue as to where to begin. Anyway, enough rambling, I've enjoyed this thread.Comment

I couldn't agree with you more.Originally posted by fantasyman
IMX did you ever hear the expression "the road to hell is paved with good intention"?
That what can happen when you live above your means by using your assets to leverage against.
In a few cases, borrowing money can give you the added cashflow necessary to maximize your ROI. In most instances though,borrowing money is what gets you into trouble.
That said, yes, taking a loan out to purchase a house is how to get started. But you should have a plan to pay down your mortgage faster than the terms of the loan by making additional payments against the principal each month. Otherwise, you will pay twice as much money for the house, just look at a truth in lending paper on any mortgage. If you make the monthly payments for 15 or 30 years the only write off you have is the mortgage interest.
It also depends on your age. If you're young, purchasing a house will be your largest investment and will help you start accumulating wealth thru equity. Once you have equity in your home, you can get an equity line of credit on your home loan so that when you purchase a car, you purchase it by taking additional loan against your house equity. This way you can deduct the interest you pay out for a car. If you just take out a loan on a car, you can't deduct any of that interest.
Be very careful not to borrow money you can't afford to pay back or you will lose all of you assets by defaulting on a loan. This has been the demise of many wealthy people, leveraging everything they have to live a better life style. When they finally can't afford to service their debt, they lose everything and who is the benefactor? The bank or lending institution ends up with all the assets you worked so hard to acheive.
Most of you should read the book "the Millionaire next door" its a great read.
Most millionaire's I know that are old money that built there own wealth don't have nice cars or expensive watches etc. but they will never have to worry about money again.
like most Ball players or movie stars who make millions but still live beyond there means will be broke as soon as they lose there contract or are washed up in the industry. I see it all the time in LA
Just like most... my Father also came to the states without speaking a word of english with $2 and a suit built a very large construction company in LA from hard work and a dream and invested in real estate in LA,seattle and now florida. He is retired now and living well.
I only hope to accomplish half of what he has.
I have spent alot of my money foolishly but now with a baby on the way. I've got new priorities and have learned to listen to the wiser and make better business decisions like investing in real estate
Once you learn how to make money its easy the hard part is holding onto it.

Roger - Congrats on the baby news. Get LOTS of sleep, you are going to need it!
I am very excited about having a baby girl. first thing I'm going to invest in with her is a shotgun. LOL
My Parents used to get on my case all the time about how I spent my money and they always told me once you have a child you will start to watch your money more carefully and invest properly. They were right as usual
But I have to say I've had a great life and have experienced many things its just I have new priorities now and its not just about what I can do for myself but what I can do for my daughter.
My father said everything he has built and done has been for me and my sister, now I understand.
I have everything I need and most things I want.
but the only thing that matters once I'm gone is my blood I leave behind.Last edited by Pornkings; 12-22-2002, 02:45 PM.Pornkings.comComment

PornKings - you can have nice cars, nice homes, and nice jewelry AND invest if you make enough.
The millionaire next door is not talking about the MULTI-millionaire. Its great to have enough money stashed away to not have to worry about money on a certain lifestyle. The question is can you raise your lifestyle while simultaneously investing and protecting money to continue that lifestyle beyond living month to month spending all you make to have nice cars, houses, jewelry.
Brad - nice car but since I bought a Ferrari about 6 months ago I don't think I'll buy another
I have an SL 55 and its by far the best performing car I've driven. What else is great is I live in a fairly small town and the rear right brake locked. I made an apt at my local MB dealership, dropped it off, and within 45 minutes my car was fixed!
FM - borrowing money in business is the only way! OPM :D However, I agree, personally its not worth it. Don't take notes on cars, jewelry, or homes! However, I use banking relationships all the time to purchase apartment and office complexes (80/20). Allows me to secure large pieces of property, earn a good cash on cash, and let my tenants pay down the note so I eventually own it out right.Comment

BTW, 80%+ of the Ferrari's sold these days have the f1 transmission. Same set up as used in f1 race cars. Drives like a stick shift, with no clutch and shifting with paddles. You shift gears up and down, like a stick shift. They are sold at a premium price over 6 speed ones BTW. And for a Ferrari going down in value, they actually go up. A 360 new can be ordered for 170k, and held for 2 years and you would get 170k out of it.
I was looking at an S55 recently. They are 120+, and a year old with 10k miles, they drop under 90k. Hope you did not buy a new one FM. That is a hell of a hit.
Here is one with 30k miles for 40k+ under what guy paid for it a year ago...

Brad you're really showing your ignorance - first of all it's an '03 SL55 and there are still less than 50 on the road in the US. The S55 is an oldie. http://www.canadiandriver.com/previews/03sl55amg.htm
You don't need to worry about resale on your Ferrari, you have it on a 5 year lease, unless you have an open ended lease. If so, you'll be toasted.
What year is your Ferrari? I heard you bought a used Ferrai?
Don't forget to take your meds before you go out

Congrats to Roger for your upcoming baby girl. Only a few months now, I bet you'll make a great father. Same to Marc De, congrats on your 2nd!
As for those of you who are investing in real estate, do you have any suggestions on how you get started. I have some personal investments right now in some relatively low risk mutual funds and I would like to get into real estate myself but not to the point where my investments take more time than running my company.
My company is my life and I love it to death so I am just looking to leverage my personal investments and I know real estate is relatively safe and better yield than my current investments.
Thanks everyone and congrats to the father's to be.

If I were to be buying Apartments or Office Buildings I would be doing the same thing, obviously.
So do you love your SL55 or what? It's the ultimate in a fast luxury car with a comfortable ride.
