The 'Rule of 72' is a simplified way to determine how long an investment will take to double, given a fixed annual rate of interest. By dividing 72 by the annual rate of return, you can know how many years it will take for your investment to double. The rule of 72 with compound interest was great back when interest rates were higher. If you gave 100K to Bank of America today, it would take 72 years for your money to double. In Japan, it costs you money to keep money in the bank. You need a new vehicle that allows you to:
1. Protect your capital 2. Give you at least a 6-10% return 3. Gives you the possibility of appreciation in the future 4. Gives you tax advantages
The bank is for people who don't trust in themselves. You need to be doubling your money quicker than what the banks will give you. The house is about protecting money, but it doesn't give a return or a tax advantage.
I'm seeing doubles in 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years investing in multi-family apartment buildings. This is the new compound interest. Don't wait until you are 90 years old for your money to double!

Stocks, franchises, REITs, bonds, IRA's, 401K's—these are all places where people make investments with their dollars. To invest means to expend money with the expectation of achieving a profit or material result by putting it into financial schemes, shares, or property, or by using it to develop a commercial venture. You have to write a check, and the goal is not to break even like so many businesses do.
Money desires attention and money follows attention. You will not get wealthy by mistake. If you want an investment to go up, have control in it. Be next to it, don't ignore it. Or have a partnership with someone who is more invested in it than you are. If you have distance and time between you and your money, you don't have an investment you have a gamble. Unless if you're rich, you should have drips every month that remind you what you're making from your investment.
The truth is, Bank of America will not lend you money to buy stock in Bank of America, because they know it's a bad investment. Go to https://cardonecapital.com/ to learn more about what I consider the best investment you can make today.

I come here every Friday so you can get your money right. The average American makes $58,000 a year and it costs more to live than that. How do you get out of that trap? 50% of American families have zero saved for retirement. It's not because half the people are stupid, it's the things we are all taught about money that is the problem. If you use the wrong battle strategy for 30 years, you will end up broke. Here are 3 tips today:
1. Your plan doesn't work—You have to challenge your assumptions. Your mommy and daddy's plan was all about saving. This is the wrong battle plan. 2. Secure the job you have—Quit hating on your job and add income to your job. 3. You need income—This is the plan you need, you need to play offense, not defense.
