We all love spending money on our cars, here is something to think about.

Works for savings and debt in the same way.

The rule of 72.

im confused

yeah :+1 :lol

Your money is worth far more in the future if invested properly, then you can imagine. Its referred to as a discount rate or the future value of money, bottom line is its shocking when you look at what a few thousand dollars invested over 40 years turns out to be at 12%

As a 26 year old retiree, trust me saving will bring greater satisfaction then a car. Besides you can enjoy cars down the road, and they will be nicer cars http://www.acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rockstar.gif

As a 26 year old retiree, lol thats awesome you can say that and it’s not a lie.

It may be true, though it doesn’t change the fact that I am terretos bitch http://www.acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif

So what are the interest rates right now for investement and for lending?

Varies greatly, my new half assed career is as a property developer and a venture banker, I also am doing some work with a hedge fund from Tel Aviv. Interest for lending or investing can vary from as little as 2% annually to 40+% annually.

Well at 40% annual gain, you can take out a 10% loan and put that into the 40% savings =) wouldn’t that be nice

Got enough careers going on? :lol

Actually, what you mentioned is kind of what I do http://www.acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/toocool.gif

With everything I have going on I work a maximum of 5 hours a week.

I’m in the wrong business. Months of work into the paper, thousands of dollars into related issues and the paper itself and just got a check for 39.99$ for advertising for next month.

Im sure glad I enjoy it cause if not I’d be in trouble.

how the shit did you retire at 26?!

Sold one of my businesses, the rest of my life takes very little time to manage and makes a ton more, it was designed that way.

damn

so how did you to that all by the age of 26? by this i mean how did you have your own business by 26, and sell it already by 26?

Simply put, yes. I don’t want to monopolize this thread any further, I’ve derailed it enough already. I’m working on an autobiography(among a few other books) and will make everyone I know aware after its published to further understand my wacky life.

I’m 24 and haven’t even done nearly half of what you may have done. I don’t even think I can say half. Not many people at all can say they’ve accomplished all that, most people that have accomplished all that are in the 50’s and 60’s. Hat’s off to you, man

Life is not a race, there is no prize for making it to the end first. Enjoy the ride and make the most of your time here, and thank you for the compliment.

regardless you are in a very enviable position

is enviable even a word :rofl

I had a house, two cars, and a full bar in my basement when I was 23… I thought I had it good, damn you!
