You know the old song, “Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.” However you feel about that sort of thing, it was an instruction that single girls should accept only diamonds as gifts from the men they dated. This is so that they could sell the diamonds during lean times. Whether you agree with that or not, you have to admit the song has a point — diamonds are the gift that keep on giving.
Investment properties are exactly the same. According to the Rich Dad book series author Robert Kiyosaki and Rich Dad adviser Ken McElroy, when you invest in real estate, you have the opportunity to expand your earnings exponentially. You don't want to consign yourself to sell a chunk of labor for a chunk of pay the rest of your life. There is only so much labor you can supply and employers are going to pay only so much for it. What you want is to be able to make those chunks of labor increase in value so that you are getting more and more for the same amount of work. Do the math. If you keep increasing the monetary value of your labor, eventually you will be able to start decreasing the amount of work you are doing. You can work part-time but still collect a full-time paycheck. A nice full-time pay check If you have always wanted to stay at home with your children, then this is a very nice option for you. When you are a contemporary woman trying to have it all, you don't have to run yourself ragged. Just make what work you do really pay off so that you can get to the important work of life — spending time with the people you love, getting back to your art, volunteering, or participating in whatever activity is close to your heart.
Let's face it. When you spend your life working long hours for someone else–and if you work for someone else, you will be working long hours–you are wasting your life. It is like being in a prison in which you don't even get free room and board. What kind of life is that? Do you really want to spend your life making someone else rich when you could be making yourself rich? Luckily, as a single woman, these days you don't have to depend on a string of rich boyfriends to make your fortune. These days you can go out and get it for yourself–by doing exactly the same things those rich men did in order to be able to afford to buy those diamonds in the first place. When you invest in real estate, you will be able to afford to buy your own diamonds. Or simply take the time to enjoy life, which is truly the sign of actual prosperity. When you are enjoying your life, you are wealthy. It is just very difficult to truly enjoy your life if you don't have time to spend with the ones you love, and those are the real diamonds in your life.
