I was wondering who was the first-ever millionaire.SOME THOUGHTS FROM ANOTHER PERSON OF INTEREST ON INVESTING
It was a curiosity thing for me, as well as an opportunity
to do some research online to see what would come up.
I was amazed at what I found.
It gave me a real kick up the butt. Up until that point, I
thought I was an action-taker. Unfortunately I was driving
with the hand-brake on.
It's funny how these old secrets come up all of the time and
really shift your paradigm and get you going again.
OK, let's get into it. This is a 161 year old secret that
once you read this - it'll put "making money" into a whole new
perspective.
Success leaves clues, so I dug around and found the name,
John Jacob Astor.
Interestingly enough, he was an American from German
background.
Astor got rich in the early 1800's trading furs, tea, silk
and fine china. Principally a business person to start off
with, but that was not where his real fortune was made.
He invested his trading profits in something that would
prove to be even better...
Real estate.
His most profitable investments were in New York City where
he built a reputation known as the "Manhattan Landlord."
Before he died, he left these powerful words. Astor said,
"Could I begin life again knowing what I know and had money
to invest, I would buy every foot of land on the island of
Manhattan."
Astor passed away in 1848 leaving $20,000,000.00 to his
family.
$20 million is a lot even today but converted @ todays values it would be around about...
Wait for this...
$458 BILLION.
Now that's an insane amount of money.
This brief story about a person you've probably never heard
about has many powerful lessons, doesn't it?
Let's go through them quickly...
#1. Increase your cash flow
#2. Invest in real estate
...I did say quick and simple, it really comes down to just
the above 2 things.
The parting words of John Jacob Astor should be written up
an posted somewhere where you can see it every day.
Sure, Astor is talking about Manhattan, but don't let that
limit you. Pick any major city around the world (even
Australia) in that time frame and you'd see a similar story.
This real estate thing isn't a fad or a passing-trend, you
would want to live for as long as you can and see as many
cycles as possible.
The sooner you start, the better.
NOTE> Imagine creating an empire that in 100 years time could
be worth $1 billion... The legacy that you would leave for
your family. Begin now.

We somehow have allowed those that we elected in trust to manage our country and its affairs to dictate what is good for us and protect us from our enemies…. and ourselves.?
Mass medication by poisonous fluoride is good for us say the beaurocrats and their consultants.
What next-Formaldehyde to offset old age.?
What next?-a terrorist or mentally deranged individuals attack on the water supply by introducing potassium cyanide into the populations drinking water.
Perhaps yet again another substance that will allow us to be controlled and dociled by those that govern us to the point where we become zombies to do their bidding.
Accidents do happen.
So what if the dose is somehow mis-judged or goes wrong despite all security measures being in place.
We as a population are then dead or at best mentally retarded or physically damaged on a grand scale.
The person/s or government responsible says
‘I am sorry, it was an accident. It will not happen again”
These bastards need to be put into their place.
Most mean well.
I for one am DEAD [pardon the pun] against such compulsory introductions on a mass scale where we have NO CONTROL and NO NEED..
I’m sorry, I am far from convinced on fluoride benefits
We the people………
Next we will have mass sterilization of the population because some clown/s in government decides we have too many people on the planet or in the country.
Yet again we may be told not only do we have to have mass treatment for perfect white teeth but it is now mandatory to be medicated on a grand scale for having shiny hair, so therefore we have decreed that now the poisonous chemical.[..........]will be introduced into the water to ensure this will happen and we your elected representatives and our offsiders know what is good for you.
Next on the agenda will be…stronger bones and we will discuss the benefits of adding cremated body parts to the water supply to ensure that you get the benefits of all that
calcium and nutrients and think about the recycling benefits for the planet…and so it could go on.
We will now introduce compulsory gassing of all peoples over the age of 70 years because they are a drain on the country’s resources. We shall call it…
‘DOB IN YOUR GRANDPARENTS’
[More nutrients for the water supply]
WE YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU. TRUST US.
Now next, the plan to create a master race…
WE KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU..
Those who want to ingest the poison let them do so at their own choice and risk.
[SUICIDE IS A STILL A CRIME]
I want my drinking and personal use water left alone.
It took us long enough to accept Chlorine as an additive.
It is interesting that the Federal Government provides a Single Refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.00 and each can also get an additional $580.00 in SocialAssistance for a total of $2,470.00. Family of 4 receive $9,880.00 per month. Family of 4 receive yearly $118,685.00
*A single Australian Pensioner who, after contributing to the growth and development of Australia for 40 or 50 years, receives only a monthly maximum of $1,012.00 in oldage pension and guaranteed income supplement.
Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!
Let’s send this to all Australians so we can all be ticked off and maybe we can get the refugees cut back to $1,012.00 and the pensioners up to $2,470.00. And enjoy some of the money we are FORCED TO SUBMIT to the government.
*Please forward to every Australian to expose what our elected politicians are doing to the OVER-TAXED AUSTRALIAN.
We also now have a fantastic lifestyle with jungle plants and exotic tropical fish from all corners of the globe .
The government approved aquaculture licence to develop the property for fish breeding has encouraged us to go further into it and expand our tropical jungle plant nursery to include the fish. Great combo for the jungle ambience.
The idea is also to do mail order sales of plants and fish.
Are you a person or business that wishes to sell or buy tropical or gold fish, either small fry or breeding stock- then contact us and perhaps we can do some business.
Come over and relax a while. View the place and what it has to offer you.
The temperature is mostly a few degrees lower than in the outside world.
