Hi, I must admit I've only found this site a few days ago, but am overwhelmed by the amount of good reading material and advice. I'll certainly be doing my best to spread the word and well done to all involved so far.
One thing I was happy to find was discussions on "Rich Dad/Poor Dad" and the authors' advice in some of his books. Anyone familiar with this guy will know how he recommends buying assests as being the way to reach "financial freedom". And his definition of an assest is something which puts money in your pocket. Finding "assests" is not proving too easy though. Lately though I've been trying to assess property in the likes of Budapest, Canaries etc. as possible assests. But I notice that everytime someone has posted a question about these type of investments, there are a multitude of contributors who suggest they may not be good investments. Now I'm not critisising this, don't get me wrong. I'm open to anyones opinion. The point I want to make is this; what do some of you invest in and think it wise to do so when you're not keen on foreign property, equities, forestry etc.? I ask this simply to help open my mind to other possibilities I may have not considered. One last thing, when I first invested in property 8 years ago, my friends and family all thought I was mad, overstretching, not weighting the risks, etc. No one backed my decision at the time.
I better stop writing now but will look forward to contributing further in the future.
