So Much to Ponder About + An Update

I know, I know. These posts don't really fit in to the theme of this site, but I kind of like keep this as a record to reflect on. If you're new to my rather bland posts, I just keep on updating on my progress from searching for my first fix and flip house (which I just could not land unfortunately) to now being in school to become a Registered Nurse to further my likelihood of being able to be a successful investor. Well, I have much to talk about so someone please give me some great feedback, if you will!

First, the update. I am now a level 4 RN student (out of four levels) so this means I am going to graduate this May of 2015! Pretty cool. Definitely the hardest thing I've done in my life thus far. I've learned cool new skills and ways of thinking throughout learning about this field. My brain is becoming what I call a "Nursing Brain", not that I'm more empathetic or compassionate and wanting to help/fix others (which I already do), but that I'm becoming a more tactful thinker. It's actually really amazing to me! My brain is thinking in different ways than before I took all these classes. This makes me feel 1000% more confident that I will succeed in my investment practice! Not that I had a confidence issue, but now I feel like I'm who you should most bet on to succeed. That being said...

I'm thinking of getting back into investing, but there is a HUGE caveat that I think we all need to discuss as investors before I or anyone in my opinion keep making decisions. That is, the economy. I'm getting really nervous for 2015 regarding the economy and I'd really like to know what everyone else is thinking about it. I'm not even sure if it's the housing market that I'm scared of but I feel like we're going in for another recession/depression. So here's the two options I have for myself.

1. If I bet that the housing market goes bust in 2015, I can work as an RN and just save, save, save so I can grab as much properties as I can once prices do fall.

2. If I think it's not going to go bust, simply start investing. 

Either option sounds awesome to me. I've never had much money so I'm glad to become a "professional" and make much more than what my parents had to work with. So, with that being said, what do you think 2015 is going to look like for the housing market/economy?

Thanks everyone,
