How the RIPPA Method Can Help You

When I was in my 20s, I was lost ... financially. Does this sound familiar? 😊

I had just gotten divorced. He got all our cash since I had to buy him out of his share of the house. 🏡 Of course, that wonderful piece of real estate came with the mortgage too.

A judge in Texas in 1980 refused to grant me child support. ❓❓❓❓

I had a two-year-old I who I wanted to go to college.

I had a job but a low-paying one.

What was I going to do? 😯

When the Going Gets Tough, You Invest!

I had 16 years to somehow come up with the money to educate my son.

I knew I wasn't going to get a $100,000 a year job any time soon. Investing was my only option.

When we bought our home in Dallas, we both put up $5,000. Yet five years later I had to pay him $30,000 to buy him out of his share of the house.

A light bulb went off. 💡 That gain was way more than my salary.

So I set aside $100 a month and began investing.

Coming up with an extra $100 was tough. In the summer we pretended we didn't have air conditioning. We took showers before we went to bed because it was hot. In the winter we wore long underwear. I found that extra money by "borrowing" it from the utility company.

Mistakes! Mistakes! Mistakes!

I made many mistakes along the way. 🚫 But I eventually hit on a formula that worked... not always, but often. (Sometimes it took a decade to work, but work it did!)

You will make mistakes and lose money. But I've made the biggest (costliest) ones already. ♎

Just stick to it, follow the formula and you probably will get rich....SLOWLY!

Investing Is for the Long Term

If you need to pay your rent in two weeks, the RIPPA Method can't help you. But if you have time, this is an easy-to-understand, easy-to-follow formula for the future.
