I think you're right - your state of mind is an important factor. Has the slump in the market and the crisis around the world impacted you? I hope all is ok...

I see where you're coming from. It's just that these self-promoters - like Henry Kaye, Anthony Robbins, etc. - get under my skin, because at the end of the day they're pretending they care but are really just trying to get money out of people and get in the spotlight.

But yes, it is good to have someone to inspire you to get a better lifestyle!

Yes, that's so true. It's harder to take the easy path!

Hi Bytta - I think I may have to push my "millionaire" goal out to 40... :) Are you heading towards your goal?

Hi Bytta, great to see yet another female with her head screwed on the right way when it comes to investing. Your goal is well and truly in sight!

Hi Bytta, it's just that there are plenty of other ways to get better information for free. I didn't find the info that amazing to shell out for it, that's all. It also seems that she is advocating a lot of measures that she wouldn't have to put in place herself because she'd be so wealthy from collecting all the money from her site!

You're right about the information age, but I reckon the best part of it is the access to information AT NO COST. That's the beauty of the net - it's a great leveller, where everyone has the same access to information. It will be interesting to see what impact that has over the coming decade!

No worries! Did you join? It is quite brilliant, huh?

There are tips for just about everything on there.

Hi Bytta, I noticed your comment to Lisa about the simple savings website, but I visited it and found it disastrous! Messy, info kind of here, there and everywhere, and it costs to get any of the decent info. Just a bunch of "testimonials" about how good the site is...I'm curious to know - what do you like about it?

I think the parent/child relationship is always problematic and I'm not sure it's ever perfect. I must say though that the baby boomer generation is particularly clingy with their brood. Maybe it's a reaction to their parents who may have been stand-offish...perhaps we will be stand-offish with ours...
