3 percent returns on money that improved the quality of life in your own neighborhood

I wonder though...how much these figures would differ if we were actually investing

    3 percent returns on money that improved the quality of life in your own neighborhood

    The market balloons from the "quick-buck" type destroyed my retirement, and this is the type of investment that that would make real jobs.

        Rigged poll. These are not the only investing options. Nice job of setting up a straw man and then knocking him down.

          The bottomline, for me, is not just about money...but quality of life as well. Money can't buy good health (for me or the planet).

            The only people who get rich by these get rich schemes are crooks. (bankers and financial advisors)

              I hope this mentality becomes "the next rage in sanity". History proves over and over again that his way is the only way for society to succeed.
