Stumbled onto this website from another forum's finance section so I thought I'd come check it out. My wife and I are always looking for more information and methods to develop our mindset to one of greater success rather than being stuck in conventional ways of thinking that leave us working for other people while "they" succeed.

I'm in my late 20's - tried my hand at stocks only to decide that I do better letting someone else handle that so instead we've switched to real estate. We currently have our own home plus a decent positive cash flow rental property. Hopefully we'll continue to learn to do things better so that we can grow and expand - becoming more and more self-reliant.

Looking forward to a lot of great reading here as well as the opportunity to discuss ideas and concepts with you all.

Thanks!
