@Bobby Nilsen First of all Congratulations on your success and kudos that you were able to leverage knowledge and networking to your financial success and cashflow.

Suddenly I had enough money to pay my bills, with a cushion to spare, and—at the urging of my sister, who had been interested in real estate for a while—I came up with the audacious plan to buy my condo from my dad.I had been a homemaker for many years before becoming a professional author, and had relied on my husband to take care of all financial aspects of our marriage.
