(and) Asking opinions of others (who are successful) is intelligent,(and) Asking options (note I did not write opinions here)  of the most successful people you know, is also intelligent,(and) also KNOW YOURSELF.The best way to know yourself (know what you want) I believe, is to read and do the written exercises in Tony Robbins book "Awaken the Giant Within".It may take you 2 months of work to finalize yours plans using this method, but when they are done--they will be customized to YOU by YOU.You are a unique person who is seeking happiness in life (only you can define what that is for yourself).Doing the exercises in the book will give you more information about yourself, and with more information comes better decisions (remembering the "Ands" from above).Then when your done book number two should be Rich Dad Poor Dad.And my second piece of advice is "A man is the Average of The 5 People he  spends the most time with".So choose who you spend time with--birds of a feather so to speak--and it's who you know (as well as what you know) so make sure to Know who you need to know, and make them your 5 people.Good Luck!

They are certainly feeling us exert pressure today Tom and are whining to mommy like a couple of little liberal girls (Congress, not the present message board) that the mean old Republicans have shoved a giant cork into Washington until they get a vote on the proposed Obama tax increases of 2011.Be prepared for liberals to scream and cry more about how much of an extremist you are when they watch their precious socialized health care plan get shot down or shot to pieces.

I also like using a light cream color, but I have a giant bucket of blue - blue it is!

wood, electric baseboard in some rooms, oil furnace which is a lennox giant behemoth that does not look like it is in working order.

In a low-end flip, IKEA kitchens would not make sense because of the price, assembly time and hassle factor of getting lost in the giant, blue maze of a store!

Big giant neighborhoods with waterparks and arcades full of nothing but STRs specifically for people going to Disney.

Steve and Dick,Well said.As a former Marine I have no issues with what I did.

What I'm saying is that our current economy and our current way of life is a giant ponzi scheme that is close to falling.

Do you recall the story of how "The House of Rothchild" became the giant it is now, via the Napoleonic war?
