This sounds rather easy

The truth is, it is.

I am sure by now just about everybody should know about the free fax to email service. This is a service where anybody can register a free 0866 fax number. When people send you a fax you receive the fax as an email attachment in your email inbox.

When investing in funds many people do not take the effect of fees in concideration. They tend to think that 2% per annum is the norm and it is just one of those things, it is something you have to pay.

Here is an exerpt from a Fin24 article which indicates what difference the 2% per annum fee can make to your investment.

Johannesburg – Investors who think one or two percent in fees does not make much difference are deluding themselves, says Kari van Rensburg, a director of Sandton-based Deutsche Securities.

The company demonstrated the point by studying net returns achieved by the JSE’s All Share Index (Alsi) over the 20 years to May 2009, and says the pattern of value depletion holds true for all investments where fees are charged as a percentage of assets under management. Read more »

I have seen many people getting burned during the past couple of years because if the wrong advice on real estate investment’s.

I think this is because of all the hype about real estate investments in South Africa at the moment. There are some people marketing real estate courses that let it sound as if anybody can invest in real estate and make millions.

The true fact is that a lot of things have changed over the past 2 years. South Africa experienced a property boom. At the start of this boom we made good money. We could sign an offer on a new development and easily make R100,000 or more by the time it building has been completed. But all these new properties created another problem; At the moment there are an over supply of rental properties in some areas. What this means to the potential real estate investor is that your rental income will be very low because the tenants can choose where they would like to stay. They can bargain for a price because most real estate investors would rather except a lower rent than let his property stand empty.

Most people do not realize how important it is to read.

Many people would like to be wealthy but if you tell them to read a book they pretend not to have time.

It is a sad fact that most adults stop reading after school. After they leave school they only read magazines and newspapers which are mostly filled with garbage.

Time is not really a factor. What amazes me is that both a rich person and a poor person has 24 hours in one day. Why is it then that a rich person can find enough time to become wealthy in that 24 hours and the poor person always use time as an excuse?
