If you are a novice investor, with focus and dedication you can create a cash flowing piece of real estate that will aid you while you are in your retirement years. The real question is, how many of these cash flowing assets will you need?
Best Regards,
Neil Uttamsingh."

Mr. Cents presents Investing in Gold posted at Personal Cents, saying, "There are a couple of ways to invest in gold – some of them can be very profitable, especially right now, and some can just take your money and run. Gold futures? Excellent investment right now; gold is at an all-time high and is projected to only go higher. Sending your “old, unwanted” gold jewelry to one of the services that advertises on television that they will pay you cash for gold – terrible investment. In general, owning hunks of the actual metal is nowhere near as profitable as owning slips of paper with bets on the future price of the metal."
