This is hypothetical. Just say you manifested a large amount of money.

What would be the best way to invest this money and help those in need? I guess I am wondering about investments in things that would be self-sustaining and leave room for growth.

Money is the sort of energy that comes and goes so quickly, what is the wise way to utilize this energy when it enters your life?

Good day

This is a difficult question because of the times we are living in.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is going to be turned on end.
All the old ways of safely investing money are not going to be
safe much longer.

I book I strongly suggest everyone reads is
"Your Money or Your Life" by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin
It starts off "...budgets do not work

There is only one error with the book. It recommends, no it states
very very strongly that you should invest in U.S. T Bills.
This ultrastable and reliable investment will be called to question
in the near future. And may be entirely abolished in a grand
money grabbing scheme with the government forgiving itself
of all its debts. (meaning your Bonds are worth nothing.)
The U.S. government has done this before, look up the end of
the Gold Standard.

Right now, as in now, maybe not in a year, houses are a good
investment. Their value is down. You know, buy low sell high?
Well, houses are low right now.

So, learn a lot about whatever area you choose to invest in.
Use your feelings to guide you. Feel for when it is time to change.
Changes will come very quickly now.

- - - - - - -

Now, for most of the people here. I very strongly suggest you buy
a house. Do whatever it takes to get into a house. Sell the car.
Save every dollar instead of paying down bills. Borrow money from
friends. Everything you can to get a down payment. (once you
have a house, it is very easy to get a car. Not so the other way
around) A house is one of the most helpful things and one of the
best investments you can make right now.

After that, gold and silver will be decent investments, but by
no way will they be the best.

Well, there is some knowledge
Enjoy

I agree... i work in the investments industry (hopefully not for long) and I've been feeling such an urgent pressure to get out of the industry. I do not feel like it is safe, and I haven't been able to pinpoint it until right now. I do not want to be in the investment business much longer and hopefully if everything goes right I will be able to safely extricate myself from it.

Housing. 95% of homeowners are NOT being effected by the SubPrime crisis I'm sure you've heard talked about. The reason why it is being spread so widely is the old adage of fear in media and the US. The two seem to go hand in hand. Don't buy a house, don't buy a house, don't invest in the real estate market.
Builder of Castles is correct, buy low, sell high. This is going to get worse before it gets better.

I believe things will stabilize in October but expect more turmoil in other markets... Oil and Gas is one that I'm going to say is going to have some problems in the next few years... gold and silver are probably the safest bet atm.

What to do with the money and help those in need...

Look around and see if there are any programs in your neighborhood that help those in need and contribute to them. Why reinvent the wheel? They already have the location, resources and infrastructure all you need to do is add some financing.

Ah,manifested money...the eternal quest >.<
I would use it for medical research.Because as we know.Those scientists are just too damn lazy lol

I would spend it in any way I pleased. If I manifested money it'd be for my own use. If I wanted to help somebody else, I'd specifically manifest whatever I wanted to help them with.

if I could manifest money I would start my philanthropist ways of living, Id hire 5 full time people to go out and scout the needy, the weak, the disabled, the ones who truly need help....what a long road that would be, but in my eyes very fullfilling. Something that needs to be done by many of todays millionaires and billionaires etc.

I'd have the hubby build himself his church...
Non denominational... A place for the community to come together and make some real changes. One that is centered around God and not organized religion. One that will house those who want to share the teachings and not have someone preaching at you, but an open forum.

A place to leave your prejudices and hatred behind and work toward enlightenment. A place where people like us understand, meet, bounce ideas and theories off each other.

Kind of like IS but in a physical building where we can gather, discuss, learn....

A peaceful place to exist and grow.

We'd have a food pantry, a school, clothing for those who need it, helping hands to reach into the surrounding communities and help them understand that "This is the way it should be."

Okay, this is my last will and testament.... If something should happen to me... if my heart finally decides to quit on me, someone get this and any donations to the hubby.....

Namaste.....Amen..... I AM of sound mind and hopefully body...
