New member from Sedan (Southeast) Kansas

[Andrew Cornstubble]

Hello everyone.  My name is Andrew Cornstubble.  I am a beginning investor from a small town in Southeast Kansas named Sedan.  For some reason I have found it very difficult to find like minded entrepreneurs in my area so I have recently turned to the internet to make new friends.  My wife and I are 30 uears old and have lived here most of our lives.  So, we are familiar with the layout and know many people in the community well.

I have been a student of personal finance ever since a friend introduced me to Robert Kiyosaki's book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."  In 2005.  Love it or hate it, that book taught me a lot of obvious lessons that I needed to understand and pushed me to continue my studies.

I have since taken a few of his more affordable classes and tested the waters some with a small business venture and single family home investment.  While both of these ventures were pretty stressful and the small business ended up costing a little in the long run I did learn a lot.  Extra money is always nice, but at this stage in my career I am looking for lessons that can only be learned by doing.  I am trying to meet like minded people and build my team.  I don't need money.  We both have steady jobs that we like and are content surviving from our earned intome until our assets are secured and we can concentrate more on them.

I'm greatful for any and all advise and input that you all may have.

I don't have much to offer at the moment besides friendship, dedication, an open ear, and possibly pass word to a few local oil and cattle investors should you have any inquiries about the Southeastern KS markets.

Thank you for your time.
