Do you guys have any investments outside of the farm?

Farmgal what does the hubby think, you must agreee on how to invest the moneys and also are you willing to do the work. My ex wanted me to buy a restaurant 5 years ago. I had no intention of such an investment. Then it was hog barn, then it was chicken barn, then it was building what other successfull in Sask. manufacturing we should build in China, then it was divorce cause I did not buy her a business. The farm is the in my life is my life blood. Have you ever heard the expression that if you are a jack of all trades you are profesional at none. My point is one should have their own main income then the other investments should come from monies from that main income.

Lol,agree,in the scheme of things the kids are most
important.

Bonds and interest rates are one in the same.

The central banks jacked rates in the early eighties to
stop out of control inflation,this slammed the door on
commodities.

This is it in a nutshell,i can talk about it more if
someone wants.

Well cott, look upon it as insurance. Chances are
if you invest some time, there's less chance they'll
be moving into your basement when they're
twenty five, with triplets and debt, and a soon to
be ex-spouse suing for their fair share from the
Hydes. But i know you will teach well. Mallee,
from the look of the pictures, it appears you
traded up. Lol
Farmaholic, you are a much too thorough
reader.....Pars
