I believe the best return

Submitted by Guest on March 6, 2008 - 21:11.

I believe the best return you can get for your own time and work is to build you own home. The returns are well above any returns you can achieve in other investments of time and money. Doing this removes that 800 pound gorilla that exists in so many peoples lives, The Mortgage.

While I applaud everyones efforts to save with food shopping, etc. I see this as rearranging the deck chairs while the real project is to fix the gapping hole in the financial ship, that big fat mortgage payment.

Building your own home is to me the true shortcut to financial and personal freedom. Channel your money and personal time and effort to this goal first, and then you have many extra resources to devote to the other important parts of your life.
