SHOCKING NEW STUDY: THE POOR BUY POVERTY

Hindsight is always 20/02 But the problem is you can only see what you understand. in example looking at struggling businessman coming out shining through a rough market, the person who does not understand business principles does not how he pulled it through. Versus a business knowledgeable person does know and can identify the principles that this struggling business person cling-ed to that help him through the rough market.

I just heard today about a 59 year old executive in the jewelery manufacturing business expressing fear that he will loose his job. He never bought a house because he was always afraid that if he might looses his job, where is he going to pay the mortgage from.

He never invested in real estate due to lack of knowledge of the real estate business.

He never invested in the stock marketdue to his lack of knowledge of the stock market.

You see the theme? He was always holding to his job and being good at what he was doing, but he wasn't growing,which brings us to the following financial principles.

  1. Buy assets (Real estate or Stocks Bonds etc)that will go up in value.
  2. Educate your self about these assets.
  3. Change is inevitable, growth is a choice so the choose to grow and change will be easy!

Rich dad says: the difference between the poor and the rich is, The poor buy liability's, and the rich buy assets.

Owning your House is vital to your total financial picture the time to buy is now!

FEAR AND GREED OPPORTUNITY FOR THE WIZE

Although we are going through unprecedented times the basics financial principles have not changed.

•1. You actually have to qualify for a mortgage.

•2. You have to save up some money for a down payment. Lenders want you have a reason to work through hardships and not get dumped along with the house.

•3. The mortgage has to be properly planned because it does have the ability of robbing your life's savings.

•4. The mortgage has the ability to provide you with a comfortable retirement. Speak to your Certified mortgage Planner about that.

•5. Invest invest and keep investing. A down market will only increase your chances of hitting it big. it is called dollar cost averaging here is the technique from about.com

"Instead of investing assets in a lump sum, the investor works his way into a position by slowly buying smaller amounts over a longer period of time. This spreads the cost basis out over several years, providing insulation against changes in market price."

Strongest lesson is to see what the herd is doing and to do just the opposite. When nobody is buying Real Estate you buy.

When everybody is pulling out of the stock market due to fear, you do the opposite and start investing.

The idea is consistency and measured. Avoid fear and greed!
