Buy a diversified portfolio of dividend yielding stocks. They're so cheap right now! This is capitalist America. You don't get ahead by working hard for someone else. You get ahead by making others work hard for you!

And don't call a house an investment. When you buy a house you're inherently betting that the next person who buys that house from you has an income that has grown faster than inflation. Thus, allowing them to buy the house at a price higher than what it would have grown simply with inflation. Until you sell it, the house isn't your investment. You, the mortgage payer, are the investment for the bank. When you purchase other assets (like stocks) you are purchasing the right to get a piece of their cash flows. Thus, you are inherently betting that their cash flows will go up, independently of the wages in the labor market.

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!
