I have invested some money and I have a home, but people don't realise that you might only be working for a few weeks of the year and remain unemployed the rest of the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Besides buying a mansion or something, everything I wanted I always got. I'm just ready to invest it and save it. Otherwise, life can hit you, but you can't go back to working at Home Depot. That's why I always just be stacking.
Sometimes I really need the money, really need to go straight to work. But if I had the absolute choice - money no object, my mortgage paid off - I'd really just work once or twice a year - but wouldn't everybody! - or at least do a different job sometimes.
One thing I have clear is that I don't want to work for money anymore.
I like putting my money into things like food and shelter. I'm probably a bad example of an investor.
I've made money in real estate, hotel, and restaurant investments.
I've always wanted to invest. That's why I started working on Wall Street in the first place, back in 1986 when I went through the Salomon Brothers training program.
Without investment, you cannot have jobs.
I might make an investment and lose some money, but that's something I can recover from.
Being unemployed has so many real and palpable ramifications but there are also psychological side effects which you can only understand if you've truly lived through it.
I know about investment. It's really obvious - you buy property, let it sit for a couple of years and then sell it and reinvest.
