They've been programmed to think the only way to make it in the world is to get a degree and climb the corporate ladder and work long days for someone else just for the privilege of going home and watching TV so you can rest up and do it again tomorrow and look forward to that week vacation once a year.  

What compounds the problem is that there are a number of mail houses producing the exact same thing.  

Originally posted by @Jay Hinrichs:@Brian Gibbons  Last thought on this subject  and its so apropos.. the banner add at the top is MAKE 40K A MONTH WHOLESALING WE HOLD YOUR HAND THROUGH OUT  No wonder everybody and their brother wants to do this.. that's exactly like the TV gurus claim 40k seems to the trigger amount for taking massive action for folks wanting to get rich quick with no money and having others hold your hand the whole time while you get rich and you just pay them maybe 20 to 30k for the privilege.

However, you can take advantage of our huge margins in a self directed IRA, Roth IRA or Qualified Retirement Plan and grow and compound your returns in those tax free or tax deferred accounts. 8.

Not so different than buying a rust-belt 30K property.Now, with the privilege of hindsight, Apple at $22/share was a good deal ... just too bad I sold most of it around $100 ;-)    The 30K rust belt house ... one never knows :-)

Having privileged information to the particular property is what can give you an advantage and allow you to beat out other investors.

Also, once you sign on the dotted line, it is our privilege if they serve us.
