How can I say such a thing?
Years ago I was running my own company, my wife was also self-employed, we had two kids and life was fairly good. Then we got into a serious car accident and life was about to change…
Being self-employed meant our on-paper income was low, so things like disability insurance was worthless (as it’s based on your income). It also meant that if we didn’t work, we didn’t eat. Banks wouldn’t lend us much money, we weren’t able to work the way we used to, we had no safety net…
Something had to change, and change quickly…we had some savings, but it wouldn’t last long…
Thus began my incentive to learn about making money without any money…and getting money working for me, instead of working for money. A financial education is something that is lacking in today’s world, we are only taught to be good employees, and when the system fails…well, we’re on our own.
Years later, I’m proud to say I’m still standing, with four kids…my income, on paper, is still next to nothing, but my net worth is substantial. I now own several properties that I bought without any money, I have a positive cash flow from each, and I’m always looking for more.
I also invest in the stock market, own companies, and have just published my first book. I, unlike most people, have become diversified…or specialized. You see, I’ve specialized in having money work for me. I don’t usually invest for capital gains, I mostly invest for cash flow.
What I learned wasn’t all that difficult to do.
For years I’d been having the same conversation with family and friends on how I did it, to the point that I was getting tired of repeating myself, so I decided to write a book…
As I came to the end of writing, I realized that the book only covered a part of the journey, and that I needed a more “living” tool, to continue the journey with…and thus, EasySafeMoney.com was born. This site is intended to show you the thought process I use in evaluating and buying properties, as well as other investments and businesses.
I don’t claim to be an expert, nor a professional investment advisor. The examples I’ll give have usually been highly simplified, and should not be considered advice. Also, I don’t recommend that you invest in anything I talk about without doing more research first, and talking to an expert about them. The ideas expressed on these pages are my own, and could even be wrong, though it wouldn’t be intentional, and are designed to educate you in financial matters.
If you find the information on these pages useful, I’d encourage you to support this site by making a donation, clicking on the advertisers, or purchasing a copy of my book “The Simple Solution to Canadian Real Estate Investing – Rules for Playing the Real Estate Game to Win.” You can order by clicking on the Blurb link below…
Any advertisers along the side are ones that can legitimately save you some real money. I’ve used them myself.
