[quote=Anonymous]Me I have only invested in a few companies and flipped a home before the crash of 2007.

I don't brag about it though.

Even though if you read below it's BRAGGING.
People ask how are you able to build a new home in Arlington now?

I say dumb luck and I am frugal with certain things.

I invested in a company called Apple a while back sold my shares at around $700.

Took that money invested in renovated Arlington SFH, waited 2 years and sold the home by myself for over $100K Gain.
Took that money bought the largest lot OLD Arlington SFH I could qualify for in 2007.
Also, 2007 I reinvested by retirement funds went all in Small Index.

I feel I am lucky and practical. But by no means RICH and would love to get some advice from someone who invests for a living.
My new neighbor mentioned they have family home in Maine.  That is subtle way to say I have generational wealth.  I would like to pick his brain but need establish trust first.

In terms of giving advice, I try to ask basic questions.
Why do you want to INVEST now outside of Retirement?
What's the motivation?
