When some of the members tell them the real deal, that what have happen is you have been sold a fantasy.  

As I said before, I'm not saying that the experienced big boys with scale can't do it, I'm saying that I think it is a bad idea for a complete newbie to start off this way, and those selling the fantasy that it is easy are doing just that, selling something. 

Some of you are living on fantasy island.

That is the fantasy world where all of the problems start.

Let me just say the following (of course this is my opinion only)When I saw you are 17 and your profile states "I have had a fantasy of driving nice cars and traveling..." to me, the right choice for you is to GOTO COLLEGE:-  I don't think you are mature enough at this point to truly understand financial management and wealth- I don't think at 17, you can truly know whether RE is your passion. - Understand the concept of "Illusory superiority", whereby individuals overestimate their own abilities relative to others.
