Richard Carlson, Ph.D. gave this wonderful example on how
much you can save by taking your lunch to work with you in
Don’t Worry, Make Money, “For example, if you stayed on
the job for thirty years and substituted a $2 lunch for a $7.50
lunch at a local restaurant, the $5.50-per-day savings
deposited in an investment club earning 8 percent over thirty
years would amount to around $100,000.”

That’s being conservative!

Note from the publisher


As you may know, I have a very deep passion for real estate and mortgages.  In fact, this website is a true labor of love for me.  

As publisher, one my many duties is to review the many books, programs and courses about real estate and mortgages that are on the market today.  I’ll be honest with you.  Most of them are garbage.  (Although I do strongly recommend the programs in the “Must Have” box above). 

But, let me tell you, when I came upon the following headline, I new I found a winner…

“Learn How To Quickly Build At Least $40,000 Worth Of Home Equity And Pay Your Mortgage Off In 10 Years Or Less” -Without Making Biweekly Mortgage Payments-Or Changing Your Current Mortgage.

Now, the reason I knew it was a winner was because of the name behind the headline.  Craig Romero.  Many consider Craig to be one of the true geniuses in our field.  I have a lot of respect for him, and I urge you to drop what you are doing right now and click the link below...
