Let me answer you this way. First, you are not going to get $55,000 for $30 or whatever amount they say. In short, you are not going to get rich quick. The only ones getting rich quick are the ones who have you send "them" your money. They win, you lose.

As to what kind of investments? That is difficult to answer not knowing how much you have to invest, and the types of risk you are willing to assume. One of the best long-term investments has always been real estate. Now I don't mean just any real estate, but real estate that has proven growth and return on your investment. I am not advodating this, nor do I get anything from saying this, but if you are really interested in real estate, then you might want to give YB's program a look. Again it will depend on what you have to invest, and how long you want to wait for your return. Some areas right now is not the place to be in real estate. You have falling prices, declining values, and unless you can pop down 20% of the purchase price, you won't even have a chance at getting a loan to buy. Since I don't know where you live, you would have to determine if this is a viable investment option for you or not.

If you have modest means of investing, then I would highly suggest you do this in stages. First, find a good paying interest rate on a CD (Certificate of Deposit), but don't tie your money up for more than 6 months. I would also look into different types of Mutual Funds. Some have a very low entry fee to enter, but again use this for a run of 6-12 months. With Mutual Funds, you need some time for them to perform, and this will not happen overnight. You must find those funds that have performed well in up and down markets.

Most of all you want to diversify. Do not put all your money in one investment. This way you can prevent a huge loss should your investment not do well.

Those are just a few of the things you can consider. I cannot be more direct as I do not know what you can and can't do as far as investing. At least with CD's, you have a guaranteed rate of return, and you will end up with more money than you put in at the end. This may be your only choice right now until you can accumulate enough capital to begin diversifying into other investments.

Not sure if I helped you or not, but I hope you found it useful.
