I love traveling. At 25 years of age, I have by no means broken any records with my traveling but I have most definitely been blessed with several trips overseas and travels all over the United States including a 10 day trip to Hawaii. Overall, not bad. Not bad, however, is not good enough.
A huge driving factor in most of what I talk about on this blog regarding financial freedom is my desire to travel and to have the means to travel. Furthermore, I talk at length …

I have written several articles recently about my Apple (AAPL) stock trading actions. The stock has had a roller coaster ride throughout 2008, plummeting close to 40% to start the year then making most of that back over the last few months. The true believers, myself included, bought more stock near the lows several months ago.

Okay, it’s time for me to admit something. There is other good content out there on the web for 20-somethings in addition to 20s Money. I’ve decided to go ahead and write an article recommending some of the blogs that I like to read frequently. Check them out and if you like them add them to your RSS reader.

In my previous article entitled, “My Four-Pronged Strategy Towards Financial Prosperity”, I discussed real estate as one of the four components of my overall financial picture.

While the days of automatic-appreciation are over, there are still opportunities to make money on real estate. You just have to be more selective.
Home ownership, even in today’s environment, is still a good thing. For a young 20-something fresh out of school, buying …

As I mentioned last week, I unloaded portions of the two positions that have been responsible for my outperforming portfolio so far in 2008. Today, I am going to discuss some macroeconomic conditions that have me worried about the performance of stocks in the near future.

The following article is a guest post from 20s Money reader, Daniel from University of Georgia.  Thanks Daniel for the great information.

I see the current bear market as an opportunity to buy stocks at below-average prices. As a college student I do not have a lot of money to invest, so small cap stocks interest me due …

We live in a very risk averse society. Financial planners recommend a well diversified portfolio. Career counselors provide advice to achieve job security. Relationships often fail because one participant avoids putting himself or herself “out there” to give it a chance. Oh yes, we are taught from an early age to avoid risk. It is inherent in all of us.
