We Have Lift Off
We Have Lift Off So this is where it starts to get really exciting, and fun. With the ground work of Money Making 101 in full effect, Money Making 201 can be started and more importantly maintained through the course of ones life. Had this foundation not been constructed, I would have inevitably increased my spending as […]
The Transition
The Transition Josh’s strategy has been clear from the start – and, with a slight ‘jump’ in Net Worth recently, due to a positive outcome on a trade (a.k.a. bet) and a stake in a pharmaceutical company, he should soon have the capital to do what he wants to do: start a hedge fund of […]

The Fund
The Fund Josh explores 401k v Roth IRA’s …. I’m not sure of the specifics around these things, but I presume one taxes money out but not going in and the other is the opposite. I wonder if Josh can tell us which one is better? Also, by switching to a self-directed retirement account, Josh can […]
The Driving Machine
The Driving Machine The image is mine … since Josh likes BMW’s nd snowboards, I thought that this image of a BMW with matching snowboard would be appropriate 🙂 From Josh’s comments on Ryan’s post, the BMW ‘fetish’ comes as no surprise 🙂 A caviar taste requires a Greek shipping magnate’s bank balance … let’s […]
