Even though you would have 1 million dollars and could retire, that wouldn't give your life any more meaning. If ever you do find someone and get married and have kids, don't forget that you will probably have 2 incomes so you wouldn't have to cover all those extra expenses with your salary alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-85853275524836643482013-12-20T22:59:43.361-05:002013-12-20T22:59:43.361-05:00i read the wealthy barber....a great book for an i...i read the wealthy barber....a great book for an investor to read. good advice.Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-75859969179342327582013-12-20T13:06:24.659-05:002013-12-20T13:06:24.659-05:00Derek, you're an idiot.Derek, you're an idiot.

Working for others is selling your time for peanuts. <br /><br />Your time is irreplaceable to you but you are very replaceable too them. <br /><br />They will work you to the bone and then throw you out and bring in someone new when you're too tired to make them money. Or just steal your work and give it to their friends then throw you out when you complain. <br /><br />This is the cycle of all businesses. It doesn't matter if you're a CEO or a waitress. <br /><br />Once you recognize that, you'll know how to prioritize your energies in function of what is important to you.<br /><br />You're smart, ballsy and have good insights. You'll figure it out. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-21170147485426322932013-12-18T22:22:09.350-05:002013-12-18T22:22:09.350-05:00Too bad, the gadget is on and off sometimes.

Sorry Pattirose, you'll have to go through all the post to read on.<br /><br />It was a post about the frustration of the moment and I am just surprise over the reactions because you all know my frustration of having to live in Quebec just to be able to work - nothing new here.<br /><br />In case you haven't notice yet, I always write about the same things over and over again.<br /><br />And I am getting tired of reading some hopeless newsletter or whatever else. I am real tired.<br /><br />And if no one can understand that, well toooo bad.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439081666297874311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-26000766337862755582013-12-18T20:29:38.712-05:002013-12-18T20:29:38.712-05:00oh no, the gadget for comments is gone againoh no, the gadget for comments is gone againpattirosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-62853161038164484142013-12-18T01:24:28.343-05:002013-12-18T01:24:28.343-05:00LOL!

If you aren't happ...Life is all about choices. If you aren't happy with your job, you should get an education and work in a field that you would enjoy working in. They you won't be in such a hurry to stop working. Lots of millionaire choose to keep on working as work gives you a sense of accomplishment and his a big part of your social life also. Look at all the actors, singers, athletes, etc; lots don't have to work but they choose to work.<br /><br />Also, Derek said that his TFSA along with his wife's were worth over 100k; that means he has been investing in the right places as he has doubled the money in the last 5 years.<br /><br />You lost a good opportunity in the last 5 years to double your money because of you're lack of diversification and your gambling on gold, silver and small companies. And when I say lack of diversification, I mean only being invested in Canada. As you rate of return in the last 5 years shows, buying shares in lots of companies isn't diversification. <br />Every year, it's the same thing, you didn't make any money and I tell you that by investing in the Mawer Balanced Fund, you would have earned 17.5% with no stress of stock picking, worrying about dividend cuts, etc.<br />You need an investment plan. Right now, you're only plan is to save and borrow as much money as you can and put it in the stock market. You have no strategy of when to take profit, how to properly diversify and when to cut back on margins. If you haven't made any money using margin in the last 5 years when most markets has doubled, what's the chance you will make some in the next 5 years. You are taking unnecessary risk and the only ones making money are the banks.<br /><br />Derek has made mistakes and will keep on making some in the futures; but he has also learned from mistakes and adjusted his investing accordingly. You need to take a serious look at your portfolio and decide; do you really want to go through monitoring all these companies and will you keep on losing opportunities to make money.

Yes it can be difficult to always save every single year 5K.. I have to agree. You need to set yourself up well: live frugally, get paid well (even more important when you have a family) and not get into any trouble (unemployment, sickness, etc). <br /><br />Maybe you could figure out how to create your own business if you don't like it there? If it's online you may be able to live where you want!Christinehttp://mybestapartments.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-67369886714440099082013-12-17T11:47:31.133-05:002013-12-17T11:47:31.133-05:00The Wealthy Barber.
