Another for the neighbors having a birthday party and taking up most of the street parking spots.

My kid has about $8-900 (we have been saving every dollar he gets from birthday & christmas) I want to invest it in something but don't know where to start.I would like to invest and then leave alone and let it grow until he reaches a certain.

We haven't bought our first property yet but we're on a path to purchase our first buy and hold property no later than my 50th birthday (1703 days from today).

That's why single parents getting child support often can't "count" that child support, for mortgage purposes, after the kid's 15th birthday.... 

Plus Thanksgiving, Christmas, New years, my birthday I spent it all working alone at the apartment because my contractors dropped the ball so many times.

@Shannon Ludlow Day after my birthday, might be out of town but I'll see what I can do!!

I started out my real estate career investing in property on my 21st birthday, back in 2001.  

Some of the great advantages are of course tax deductions but you can use the HSAs and 401k plans to invest in Real Estate, as well as other things so long as they are set up in your plan, and you can pay the spouse and kids (usually starting at age 5 or so as they have to contribute to the business somehow to be compensated) through the company's payroll which creates a nice tax deduction for braces, Christmas, birthdays and more!

I was younger than many, being a November birthday: only 10.

Women do more often take care of children and need the flexibility to pick up kids from school at 3, go to soccer games, plan birthday parties, etc.
