Pop Quiz:

Guess with your gut, or a calculator, this interesting (to me) finance question.

What APR is necessary to yeild 100% growth in an investment at the end of 10 years?

Went to Family reunion yesterday.  It was totally rad.  Before you ask, this was my mom’s side of the family, so no, there was no gun shooting or anything like that.  It was on my aunts farm so we ate a lot of garden fresh food (literally, not that shit in fast food that says those two words together and they are meaningless).  I petted the cows, because they are pretty, even if stinky.  And I talked with my long lost family.

My uncles both seem to be into the real estate game.  I need in on that action.  They didn’t talk about it too much, so I didn’t get much info.  Mostly just success stories, to which I have to guess there are some failures as well.

Something else was fun yesterday, but I’m not sure what, I guess just hanging out with not much care in the world is fun enough.  I’m glad I can do that on a semi-regular basis.
