10 Steps Everyone Must Take to Get Rich – Entrepreneur

I’ve never really thought of taking steps to build wealth, but this article highlights 10 that really make sense.

I especially like the “Place a Tax Yourself” idea. It’s basically, “Pay Yourself First,” but it puts the concept in another light.

Another great idea is setting annual financial goals, something else I’ve never actually done. I think I’m going to have to give it a try.

3 Ways to Raise a College Debt Savvy Child – Money by Dad

This is a good one. Why? Because it references 1978, the year I went off to college, AND that it presents some great concepts.

I’ve graduated twice with no college debt. The first time in 1983, with a big thank you to my parents for covering the school costs, while I worked to cover my expenses.

The second time, my Masters, my wife and I cash flowed the degree, while we both worked full time. I side hustled during the time, earning my both my Masters and my Pilot’s license, at the same time building a small airplane.

In this day and age, you hardly hear of graduates with no college debt. So, check this post out to get some money saving ideas.

The Power of Compounding – Your Average Dough

Compounding interest is one of the great financial concepts that I’ve learned about. But it’s not all about growth.

Like Volatility, it can be good and bad.

5 Reasons Real Estate Investing Beats the Stock Market – Investor Junkie

Until last year my wife and I weren’t a Real Estate Investors. At least not that we knew.

We did own one house outright and were paying for another when the first house became a profitable rental.

Investor Junkie’s article shares a fair amount more information on real estate investing. I’m not sure if we’re going to look at buying more properties, but I’m going to give it more thought after reading this article.
