I beleive Giving is sowing seeds. Seeds of money. Like investing.
I give to a sponsor child, our church, various missionaries, the Salvos, visiting speakers at our church, people that come to the door, people in the street, friends (coffees or whatever) etc.
One of the goals in wealth creation is to always have something in my pocket or hand so I can give it away!
In fact giving is one thing I find it hard to budget for. I do a budget and then blammo, someone needs money – so out goes the budget!
I am also learning about giving to my family and myself. This is hard for me to grasp – it’s about being generous in all aspects!
My thinking is that this is one of the major reasons I was created.
Sometimes I feel a bit like a hose – the money flows in, and right out again!
Ah well.
PS – I also give blood – so see you there emcdonald!
By The way – I have found EBAY to be an excellent source of second hand books! they are a bit cheaper and you can still own them
Go Hard! That’s a good goal.
Well done for first home too – it gives you a VERY stable base to work from. Not for everyone but it solved some instability probs with my wife and me – sorted the itchy travel feet out for a while!
Right – here goes with MY dream – no one knock it please! Not that I’m sensitive about it – I am jolly determined actually.
I have roughly 6 years. From now.
Plan is – one more child, then in 6 years, a third. the third will be looked after by me at age of 6 – 8 months (after weaned)
This will give my wife the option to study again and perhaps do some of the things she has wanted to a long time.
I want three children though – so that’s how we can both reach our dreams!
We may work out some part time arrangement – but I have 6 years.
EEEK. Thus, my financial education is ramping up steeply right now!I will be 34.
watch this space I reckon – some good dreams here
Go people.thanks for the swift kick up the butt!
My attitude needs adjusting from time to time. I find that’s where it ends up – in my butt. A quick kick and it’s back in my heart where it belongs
In reality the guy did a fantastic job and I hope he succeeds.
Cheers
alwayscuriousOriginally posted by kay henry:I started reading an e-book today- why not, I thought. It started off with “you were born to be rich…” That stuff just does not interest me. I have been watching the kids from Russia dying, further conflict in Iraq, 100000 people dying from genocide in Sudan, etc etc… an entitlement of being born rich just isn’t where my ideology is coming from. It makes no difference to me whether people have money or not. It’s just words.
kay henryHey Kay I read that ebook last week. I thought hmm.
My thought for my own situation is if I can become more wealthy, I can help more people. INCLUDING my own family.
If you are just getting wealthy for it’s own sake then what’s the point?
Oh Pick me! PICK ME!!!! for the lucky door prize… oh please please!
Woo. An event. I’m excited. I’m there, with bells ON.
(I’ll be the guy with the BIG GRIN)True Emcdonald.
I should be generous in my praise and slow to anger!
They were 1000 times better than the previous RE – who was
A) Late
not quite as honest
C) fluffed around on many potential buyers.Sonja – to celebrate – we are going to have another child!
Actually – we were going to have another child anyway.I just wanted to get the mucky situation sorted first.
If your parents would not like to rent – perhaps you can sublet some of the rooms? This is often a good tactic and it gives you good insight into choosing people for tenants also! Will be a handy skill as you work towards your property empire.
