I am working on being smarter..
Luck ?? Oh my... I have plenty of that..
Right place, at the right time..Not all by my doing, but I will take it...
I bought at the right time in life...Again some by sheer Luck.
Looking back after reading this thread, i could have done even better...
Most of it was by not being too greedy, by getting in when everyone else would not, and by just being in the game. And not on the sidelines..
Sure the easy money was made from late 2008 to 2010. But even in 2011, with volatility at it's peak, money was made, and dividends were earned, so better to be in, than to be on the sidelines.
And the over spending ??? Well not being one of them, I got the deals of a Lifetime on Property after 2009...While the overspending of fake equity crushed them.
you would think that over spenders would learn ? remember , I have the family members with zero retirement money, going over and over to Europe, and foreclosed and bankrupt, by overspending..
I tried to help for a while...What a waste of time and money that was..
