  6. What is real estate? Why is it considered an investment?

  11. Benefits from a job are important, especially retirement benefits. You're going to want something that will help keep you covered when you're old. Salary of course is important, we've all got bills to pay. Plus you should put 15% of that income away for your retirement each year.
