How to Turn $50,000 into $250,000 in Just Five Years
Article Abstract:
Turning $50,000 into $250,000 in five years requires obtaining an annual thirty-eight per cent return on your investment. Five sets of people who did at least that well with their investments are profiled. They did not set out to make a fast fortune, and often made mistakes along the way from which they learned, yet they all, at the minimum, increased their investment five-fold in five years. The strategies these people followed to increase their investments run from owning their own chain of haircutting salons, to investing in precious metals futures, to buying real estate, to investing in the stock market, to buying a state partnership in a national restaurant chain. Although the methods used by these people to invest in are all different, the one thing all these investors share is hard work - their investments required diligent amounts of time to be spent doing research on any potential investment.

Suburbia's Hot Line Haulers
Article Abstract:
The station wagon, which used to be the symbol of suburban prosperity is evolving into something new. These new vehicles are often a cross between a station wagon, a jeep, and a van; and offer consumers spacious room for passengers and cargo, without the bulkiness associated with the old station wagons. In addition, some of these new minivans also offer front or four wheel drive, which while reducing gas milage, does offer driving security in all types of weather. Five of the new minivans - the Toyota Van, the Plymouth Voyager, the Ford Bronco II, the Jeep Cherokee, and the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer are analyzed and compared. A table also compares price, mileage, and other features for the five vehicles. Although Toyota was the first to come out with the new minivans, the Chrysler vehicles (the Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan) were rated to be the best.

Partnerships That Pay
Article Abstract:
Although income partnerships are becoming increasingly popular, they are not entirely risk free, and in the long run may not yield very high returns. There are often alternate forms of investments that are safer and yield higher returns; therefore any type of income partnership should be closely scrutinized. There are many types of income partnerships related to real estate available, as well as oil income funds.
