Here are some of the options for investing your retirement accounts: * Real Estate - including apartments, single family homes, and duplexes * Commercial property, developed or undeveloped land * Mortgages/Deeds of Trust * Publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds * Private Limited Partnerships * Private Stock Offerings, Private Placements * Private Limited Liability Companies * Secured and Unsecured Notes * Judgments/Structured Settlements * Tax Sale Certificates * Car Paper * Factoring * Accounts Receivable * Commercial Paper * Equipment LeasingYou can also set up Self Directed Coverdell Education Savings Accounts for child education expenses and Self Directed Health Savings Accounts for health care expenses.What if you had a child who was 5 years old and you opened a Coverdell account for them with $500.

Yet, that's not the intent.I remember as a child in the early 1960s being in the car and seeing these highway construction site signs that said: “Your federal tax dollars at work.”

In the event a major storm ever got into Tampa Bay, we could see a major floodwater event that would make what just happened in Fort Myers look like childs play. 

I'm generally allergic to snowy weather in my advanced age, but it's not an absolute deal breaker.  

I used to go there as a child and there was nothing there, now its some of the most expensive real estate in the country. 

Currently renting my basement out to a single mother and her child since last March, original rent was $1575 (all utilities) and I saw her situation at the time and dropped it to $1500 for a 12 month lease with all utilities included, she purchased a electric charging vehicle less than two months after moving in so obviously taking full advantage of all utilities included.Two months ago, she had a boyfriend stay with her and told me that it was temporary while he is looking for a new place.

Plus, what kind of message are you sending to your child??

Hi everyone, I'm originally from the USA and came here when I was 5 so am a dual citizen.I live in Wellington and have a wife and a child on the way.I've been researching property investing for a month or so now and am looking to buy my first investment property in the next 6 months. 

Her husband left with their infant child when their lease was up but she stayed because she knew she could.

An example would be a job change that is far from your current job location or if you can prove your family is growing (maybe marriage certificate or birth certificate of a child).
