Where To Invest

Everyday someone asks me where to invest their money.  This would be a great topic to open up to everyone and see what suggestions others have.  We all know the stock market has been more than volatile the past few years with finally a great comeback in 2009 but tumbling up and down in 2010 again.  You can't even keep up with inflation if you have your money in CD's or money market accounts at your bank....but at least your funds are basically safe.  As many of you know, I invest in real estate but the market conditions are very tenuous right now and you must be so very careful in what you buy.  I am successfully flipping houses right now....but it is not for the faint of heart in this market.  So then, what should a person do who wants to make a reasonable return on their money?  My suggestion is find out what you love and try to figure out a way to make money doing that....find your passion and turn it into a business...
