You can, but that doesn't mean that it's going to be a cake walk. Just because you are trying to rent out a property doesn't mean it will be rented out. That's all I was getting at in my poorly constructed reply.

> You can always rent it out This is clearly false. Additionally, if you can't pay your mortgage because the recession hits you as well, then you can lose the house. There is no bullet-proof strategy.

Keep a long term view (10+ years or more) and not a short term view (< 5 years). That's what most of this advice boils down to. Almost all bad decisions result from not taking a long enough perspective. The recession will end at som

Yes, for investing, keep extra cash on hand for when the stock markets plummet. Then you can scoop up ETFs etc. for hugely discounted price. The economy will recover, and you'll have bought a lot of value for a good discount.

This only makes sense if you are planning on using that money in the near term (< 5 years from now). Like you say, timing the market is a bad idea, and that is what you are doing if you try to move to "safer" assets when you &q

This is a great post on what to focus on if you're trying to make a cash-flow business out of building apps. I especially like the idea of not just looking for competitors, but trying to figure out why they are successful, and making

How did you go about learning this? I have had Feyman's lectures sitting on my bookshelf for well over a year now, and hope it won't always be in my "someday" bucket.

What areas have you found to have most impact/benefit from splitting in this way, and how have you split them?

I think that "passive income" is a misnomer, or at least, not very useful. I find it more helpful to think in hourly rates, since you're always putting in time for something. If you spend 100 hours setting up a website, and o

For #6, are you storing checklists in Evernote as well? Just reading through GTD right now, is this to replace the "Weekly Review" concept in the book so it is automated? I'm looking to implement a GTD-like system myself, and

I think you may be making incorrect assumptions. Are you sure that you need to be working more hours? Based on the setup you have, it simply sounds like you need to be accomplishing more. The actual number of hours it takes to complete a ti

Build an application. Even if it's terrible (and it likely will, since you are still learning), you will have learned all those skills that you say you need. You need to develop your skills in building applications, and the only way to

I listen almost exclusively to EDM mixes. Podcasts or YouTube videos are usually about an hour long, and the songs are mixed so they flow continuously from one to the next. I find the constant beat, and somewhat repetitive melodies and rhyt

I would agree with this. It sounds like it's a mental health issue, not an issue with your skills or the marketplace. You just need to heal your mind, and nature and a good vacation or break can do that.

I'm so glad I saw this. I got a camera recently and have been debating whether or not to get Adobe's photographer package. Currently I just use Lightroom mobile. Now I'm thinking I'll probably go with this. It looks real
