..... And as long as we're talking about how to make some money - whether it's for retirement - or for further investing etc. Rich people DO think differently. They DO live differently. Money DOES make Money. The problem with most people is that they don't do anything with what they have. Rather - they figure they have nothing so how could they possibly ever get anywhere.
This thread started out with a couple simple questions.... and what some of us have tried to do with it is to take a little of the mystery out of "the stock market" etc.
I stumbled on to this book -- and have not read it - but have read many excerpts from it.... and what this book really is - and what I've read - is about how to THINK. That's what I've been harping on in this entire thread -- not what "I" think YOU should do - but rather - how you should think about investing... and then you need to take it from there. Whether it's rental real estate - or stocks - or starting a business.... whatever.
The book is about the DIFFERENCES in how people think -- the "rich" vs "the average person". I don't particularly like "labels".... but it is what it is. For $14 a copy it might be eye opening for THINKING about investing or seeing opportunity that might present itself.
