Investing - September 2006

I live in a town surrounded by millionares. It's Cali, so I know many are "bay area equity millionares". However there are soooo many huge mansions. I guess I'm a middle class gal. (Maybe upper, in a nation wide scale) I look at the homes and wish I could knock on the front door and ask but I can't. What worked for you? Own your own business? Smart investing? We do spend less than we make which is smart, but I'm not sure where to go from here. Any advise would be great. Thanks! YA is so cool.

Obviously, most are going to say don't get suckered in . But if the total outlay of cash is only about $50. Wouldn't it be worth it to try? The gimmick is to buy their mailing list. Anybody out there actually try this stuff?

I may or may not be involved in offshore investing. How can I do this here in the United States legally?

I have no interest in investments here in the US, so I am looking abroad. However, I WANT to be legal. I do not want to get myself into any trouble.

So basically, how can I do offshore investing legally here in the US? And dont tell me to that I can't or shouldn't do it. That is not an option.

The way I understand it is pharma companies make and sell drugs and biotech companies research how to make the drugs. However, aren't some companies both pharma and bio-tech? I was reading some reports on Genentech and I found it confusing.

my daughter, Jennifer, will start college in five years. She has just informed me that she wants to go to Eastern State U., which will cost $18,000 per year for four years (cost I assume to come at the end of each year). Anticipating Jennifer's ambitions, I started investing $3,000 per year five years ago and will continue to do so for five more years.

How much more will I have to invest each year for the next five years to have the necessary funds for Jennifer's education? My interest rate is 10 percent. thank you .
