'Get Rich Quick' Can Keep You Poor Forever

You can’t sleep. Before you know it, you’re sprawled on the couch in front of the television, clicking randomly through the channels. Say, who’s that guy on a yacht surrounded by bikini-clad babes suggesting I come to his real estate seminar? Well, heck, why not? It worked for him! Your fingers begin to twitch and you try to remember where you put the credit card. Please, put down the remote and go back to bed.

There will always be someone ready and willing to take advantage of you if you let them.

There are legitimate ways the average Joe or Josephine can create wealth through real estate. Not today or tomorrow or next month, but you can make serious inroads to the life you only dreamed of over the course of a few years. So, here’s the decision: keep blowing wads of cash on the latest “sure” thing and stay on the financial treadmill of desperation the rest of your life…or…get with the program and do something real for a change. (Image: Flickr | jDevaun)
