At one time the unions had a valuable place protecting workers from rapacious employers.Sadly they let greed and power corrupt their mission.I remember realizing this when I was in my twenties working as a merchant seaman.

lQuote from @Matt "Roar" Gardner: @Wendell Butler - As an active investor and agent in the area, I'll confirm your initial observations! 

As someone who started in my twenties and successfully built a portfolio, I'm more than happy to share my strategies that worked for me.

If you’re at least twenty years away from retirement, long-term investments like stocks or investment properties are a great way to slowly build wealth over the years.

I have a tenant who kited one too many checks twenty-five years ago and has had to deal with that hanging over his head ever since. 

Hi Samuel,I have been using Walt Pikul for the last twenty years for my rental and personal returns.

I would not sign something saying that if the twenty year old refrigerator dies you have to replace with new... 

I believe that even if the Buyer has a briefcase filled with twenty dollar bills (s)he can still decide not to close for any or no reason. 

Derrick numbers aside, when you are a lot older and looking back at your twenties, you going to miss the 8k or will you regret not building the garage?

They say hind sight is twenty twenty.
