afterall, I'm in my 20's - why give any more money to some rich asset manager for them to enjoy for the next 40 years?

Otherwise you can really put your family in a jam.I strongly encourage you to embrace Dave Ramsey's tenants in your personal finances, read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, and give yourself several months to research Bigger Pockets and build your support network.

However when I started doing my financial freedom calculations (get out of the rat race, ala Rich Dad) I realized a big number of that included my student loan payments and other debt.He answered quickly "pay off debt" before investing in the podcast, but then followed it up with a great answer on the podcast page.

In Rich Dad Poor Dad lingo, my current "profession" is developing energy efficiency and reliability opportunities in Chrysler manufacturing facilities, lowering manufacturing facility/process life cycle costs.

I got started by reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and some other books that got me interested in real estate.Didn't do anything with these hopes and desires for a few years.Life forced my hand a little when we bought our first home on the wrong side of a flip in 04 and wanted to move in 07.

I wonder if we can get @Rich Weese to weigh in on class C in Garland?

Find a rich person, show them both contracts and how safe they are and they will go for it.

Food for thought.

(not rich) but never had to work a JOB again?
