And, in response to my initial inquiry about returns, I would tell my 3 yr younger self to just shoot for that infinity symbol ;)Lol.

No doubt some have hit the jackpot but they got in early.

Jackpot!

Just in case you weren't aware (it took me a while to figure it out) you "mention" someone by typing the @ symbol and then the first three letters of their name.

I know they're not rich because they make the same as me but they get deep into debt for these status symbols and live like they're rich with both spouses having to work overtime to pay for it all.

It's just another status symbol, like so many other things.

(I get to the names by just typing the @ symbol and starting to type the name I want, and then a list of names of people who have commented in the thread appears in a drop-down box; then I click on the one I want.).

You have hit the JACKPOT of resources for real estate investors.

[Note: There appears to be a defect in the parser for the forum which prohibits one from using the mathematical symbols for "less than" or "greater than" in {HTML} formatted text such as bullet lists. 

Whenever responding to someone use the "@" symbol before the name.
