Posted by Aquascottish Personally I like to cut them off no explanation nothing just radio silence if it's just a casual acquaintance, but if it's a family member close friend etc I sit on it gather as much information, boil up and explode!
Do you feel different when it's a close friend family etc like me, or do you just cut them off also?
I've experienced lying from another aqua close family member recently about attending a wedding, lying about why the can't come and obv forgot the lie they told me last month, that they were competing in a sporting event they couldn't get out of and just today told me they took on extra shifts at work as they had nothing on that weekend, I told them the wedding was that weekend just got silence. Safe to say I'm a little hurt as it's an insult to my intelligence that I wouldn't notice the lie, rage is building to confront them already even though I know I should just probably let sleeping dogs lie.
yes, let it go I think is best ... I feel as you do when it's not a family member - we might all have some family members that are not quite right ... but you can not control them so don't let it get to you
I wouldn't even have a close friend if they were a "liar" because that is a compulsive thing that would get noticed by me immediately before they could even become a friend, much less a close friend - cause not ...
I do have 2 grandsons who are prone to not telling the truth because - they are learning this from their mother and other things they are learning are not good from their mother and her family. My son is divorced and now remarried with my 3rd grandson who should be ok.
This is killing me. I know the school and their father are trying to work with them on this and I am thankful for that intervention. But it truly does start in childhood is where I'm going with this. Again, I say people should have a license to raise children because they are mankind's future ... whatever we create goes on to then create again and so forth.
Posted by 5TwentyOne I'm considering Real Estate. Depends what the market looks like in 6-12 months.
Do you mean as a professional or With experience? Choose someone in your locality.
Nonprofessional, more as an investment.

OK we've done it. As a family together. There are no mortgages on any of our properties. THAT is the biggest diff ..ALL our rental income is cash flow..some of which we re invest. That is the single BIGGEST mistake people make. Their rental income does not exceed their mortgage payments. The sitting tenants simply cover the mortgage. You have to generate more rental income than the mortgage. Get the highest cap rates.
You can't just rely on the appreciation of the value of your property to generate profit. So go for a market that tough for tennants. Make yourself tax effective.
There are few diff types buy and holds Airbnb Fix and Flips You need to get your hands dirty my cousins did this a lot ... Commercial (HUGE in the states high profit ..offices shops etc ) Passive Investments like REITS ..also huge in the states.
Get advice ...not just from a broker. That is a sales person ..Join Real Estate Investment Clubs but be also wary of them.
To be honest i think the draw of property over stocks and bonds is purely in the mind ...you can see bricks and mortar ...so it feels safer and more real...it's as bubblicious as anything else ..
Get professional advice ..but do your own research ..it's your money ...guard it.

LOL!! I didn't take it as a purple drank. I used to take it as it is...like around 10ml or so. It's maddening when you really want to have some peaceful sleep but can't.
