Re: Paying Old Debts
Family business. The father (company founder) gave shares in the company to each of his children. An inactive shareholder (older sibling) was bought out. Over 20 years later, after the parents had already passed away, the younger sibling said the older sibling had received too much. The older child...

Re: Rich dad, poor dad?
Unfortunately I know of such situations. If the house is rented to someone from their own church, the rent is kept reasonable and the building is not only maintained, but frequently upgraded. If it is rented to an "outsider", rent is sky-high and when repairs need to be made, the tenants ...

Re: Rich dad, poor dad?

Re: Rich dad, poor dad?

Re: CAM 2023 Annual Report
I am glad so many people are being helped! As we know by now, the annual reports indicate what CAM management thinks the funds are being used for. Not all funds might be reaching their intended recipients, which could reduce the numbers significantly. A question for you... If aid does not reach the...
