@Jim Blackburn@Cristian SamayoaHi CristianI think there's a little jumping to conclusions by a couple here. 

But we came to the conclusion that life is too short to live someplace we don’t like just to own a home.

I have been coming to the same conclusion and appreciate the insights on how to get started and especially to be patient in this market. 

Add-on: a bit of evidence in favor of college being pretty much just what you make of it, and nothing magic: "In November 2002, the Quarterly Journal of Economics published a landmark paper <https://www.nber.org/papers/w7322> by the economists Stacy Dale and Alan Krueger that reached a startling conclusion.

If after your research you've come to the conclusion that a 401k is right for your than great.  

I've been looking for properties out of state in the Midwest, and even though the cashflow situation is better there I've come to the conclusion that I need to focus on networking more than scouting the internet for properties.

I came to a conclusion that money is just a representation of all of the above as we’re currently using it as a currency to trade one for another.Best case we have all 5 which then makes us very very wealthy.

The results came from EMC Research and their results came from 1,000 interviews of registered voters to make their conclusions, but the methodology is not explained. 

Chris, can you elaborate on your conclusion?
