I Need Help With Investing Opportunities!!!

    Hi All,

    Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

    ::Here's My Issue::

    Last year I was in a car accident (fully recovered thankfully) and recieved a settlement that gave me enough money to erase my credit card debt and pad my bank account with a little over $10,000.

    When I graduate in 2 1/2 years I will have the pleasure of paying off $40,000 in student loans. Is there any way that I can invest the $10k and get a great enough return to pay off my loans by the time I graduate?...gambling and whoring myself aside of course.

    I get a 6 month grace period after I graduate before I have to start paying, so that leaves me with a solid 3 years to invest.

    Looking forward to your advice because this money is burning a hole in my pocket!


    ::My Background::

    I have knowledge and experience in;
    - Industrial Design
    - Graphic Design
    - Web Design/Animation
    - Commissioned Artwork
    - Home Remodeling
    - Ebay sales / dropshipping:eek:

    Don't invest in hyips.
    If you have knowledge about Forex you can keep a look on it.
    But that needs constant motivation and very active.
    If you are thinking about
    Industrial Design
    - Graphic Design
    - Web Design/Animation
    - Commissioned Artwork
    - Home Remodeling
    - Ebay sales / dropshipping

    Its quite a non -guaranteed work , if you are quite enough solid to think differently.
    Also graphic service is too slow method to get your invested money doubled.
    Don't be in so hurry to invest it.
    Just keep your mind quite.
    Why not you invest in "Shares" and "Mutual Funds".
    They can give you a handsome payoff.
    as invesing money for 1 year in good Mutual Funds can just double or triple your money.
    If you want more infor mation regarding Mutual Funds then feel free to contact me.
    I think its best and risk free investment.

    Thanks

    Risk free? You must be kidding! Index funds are less risky than picking individual stocks but they can certainly decline. General rule of thumb is that if you need the money within a year the stock market is a bad place for it. And funds that double or triple in a year? What are you smoking?

    And if you want more information on mutual funds and you contact this guy, you are insane. Go to www.vanguard.com instead.

    I have invested in Reliance Mutual funds , Birla SunLife Mutual fund , SBI Mutual fund.
    I have bought each share for 10.00 INR , and I have bought 50000INR of Mutual fund shares.
    After exactly 1 year = the c.p of each share of birla sun life is just awesome the 10.00 INR reach now 18.95 INR , and its nearest to double.
    Well reliance performed much well than this with c.p now 21.87 INR.
    So , Iam not joking , its happened with me.
    Iam from India I don't know about other country Mutual funds.
    But If you are want to look for these funds growth , then just try to google out , its true or false.

    hi
    first of all i have to tell u if u want money dont give your money to unknown systems to work with it or systems like hyip ....
    if u know forex u can easily earn 3-4k with ur money and dont loooossssssssssseeeee any thing.i have a friend in here which started from $300 via metatrader and now his balance after 1 year is over 30k but he actually dont left any time for any thing just he and his computer...
    if u dont have knowledge about it its risky too..in my country some banks give you %30 per year..so may be you look for international banks other than your country bank and get a cool %..;)
    and i should tell designin is very good try getafreelancer.com they have big projects for every one

    It's possible to get 6-7 percent in Korea although 4-5% is more common. I hear you get more in Brazil where 20% used to be what the banks would give you but now it's something way less but still good compared to American bank interest.
    And all you people talking about no risk and never losing money are nuts. In case you didn't know.

    Hi there,

    Your sitting on a gold mine in talent my friend, you mention that you have a background and skills in

    - Industrial Design
    - Graphic Design
    - Web Design/Animation
    - Commissioned Artwork
    - Home Remodeling
    - Ebay sales / dropshipping

    You also mentioned that you have 3 years up your sleeve, I'm a recent graduate of Computer Graphics Design from the Whanganui School of Design here in New Zealand.

    When I left University my student debt was 42k its now zero 12 months after graduation, like you I specialise in my field, I work for myself from home and enjoy the lifestyle I now have.

    my success is a direct result of my skill base, it may take you a while to build credibility on the home front but once you do trust me it will take off. Heres the thing, you have the skill, talent and ability to be very wealthy.

    I believe what your really seeking is the knowledge around how to market your services, online there are many ways you can do that, as a graphic designer we can have an easy 9 different income streams.

    You just have to know where to start, and for me personally I found selling advertising space on my website a really good way to clear my student loan took a little bit of setting up.

    But now that the system is set up I'm happy living in a nice beach front home thats fully paid off, and I can say honestly it wasn't bought through taking high un-calculated risks.

    I leave you with this thought, a man with money meet a man with an idea, and by the time they finished talking the man with an idea left with the man with money's money and the man with money left with the man with an ideas idea.

    Be wise with your money is friend, back your talent, ability and skill put that to work and your guaranteed success, you just need to believe in yourself.

    You should go to your local bank and see what they can do about helping you invest your money. They can offer great information and will listen to your case and do what they think would be best with your money.

    That's completely wrong. Don't give people false hopes. Forex is very hard to learn and even when you do you can't earn money that easily -- more importantly, you can't earn money without risking to lose even more than your initial investment.
