1359: Real Estate Investing Goals for the New Decade
Jason Hartman and Investment Counselor Adam take the first day of the year to challenge every listener to sit down and make an investment plan for the year. Yes, New Year's Resolutions are cliche, but making a plan is better than not, and it's important to push yourself. You want to make it hard to reach, but not impossible. You need to take inventory of the things in your life you have, the things you can monetize, the things you can cut back on, and the things you can't or won't cut back on. After doing this you'll have a realistic look at what you can do to invest in your future.
