Reading Time: 3 Minutes Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. ANOTHER clickbait article? I’d have to say unashamedly, yes. Please bear with me though, because this post is in response to a question I received recently from a dear reader, Rennie, who asks: Hi Samurai Interesting blog. I am most intrigued by this statement in your ‘About Me’ section: “Recently, I achieved a goal I set early on of $1m in net assets before 30.” Wow! This is really remarkable, and truly newsworthy on its own. But I couldn’t find much further about it in your posts. I think you would have many more interested readers if you made a…

Being Rich Eliminates 67% of Life’s Problems
Reading Time: 4 Minutes Owwww I am STUFFED. BURP. Excuse me for a bit boys and girls. Belches again off-camera. Whew, much better. Just had a HUMONGOUS feed.

Investing in Real Estate 105 (Your Team)
Yo Yo Yo – what’s happening peeps! Not sure why I decided to talk like that – must be because I’ve been watching “Any Given Sunday” again, one of my favourite sports movies. Basically it’s a take on a fictional NFL team with an all-star acting cast. Al Pacino as the old school head coach, Jamie Foxx as the narcissistic rising star QB, Cameron Diaz as the hot-headed young franchise owner. It gives a pretty darn good insight into the trials and tribulations of professional sports.
