think again Brad there are post after post of people putting their life savings into those morris homes and have nothing but empty shells to show for it taking 90% capital loss's  .. granted some of them of course are as you describe but many were not.in Fact he preys on the beginner and those who did not know about BP or also those that thought because he was on TV how could it not be true :(  one of the worse violation of the public trust I have seen in the last 2 decades.. right up their with Kwami the mayor of Detroit that got thrown in prison.

But overlooking the time and leisure factor is a big mistake.

But it'll crash hard and the "flipping" TV shows will go away, the gurus will disappear, and a lot of people will learn to live with their 9-5s and index funds.TL;DR This is an investment bubble being pumped up by unorthodox capital just like last time, although it's coming from a different place.

When a so-called friend or family member has negative comments ask yourself this...Does that person;-Embody a make it happen attitude-Believe in themselves in any situation-Lead or follow-Have the ability to see themselves as above average-Have the ability to sacrifice time away from TV, sports, video games, beer etc. to spend time learning and networking-Have the ability to see the futureIf you answered no to any one of these questions then you already know the answer.

On TV last night young guy making $24,000 per year is living with 3 others to share rent.  

Now matter how poor they were they always had Cable TV and cigarettes.

@Alan Davidson You really only see the get rich people on TV making a ton of money in real estate the "sexy" way.

How many TV’s, cars, clothes are enough?

It's really like watching a reality tv show, which is why I get my popcorn ready each night to browse the ridiculousness. 

I love the TV show Nova.
