South Africa reminds Kelly of the US in the 1960s and it's easy to see why -- lots of space to build, lots of opportunities, lots of growth. To him, Australia is the hottest spot on the planet, followed closely behind by South Africa.

So here we are, watching people (in the US) who've been through much of what our country has gone through, and they've made good bucks along the way. The question is -- can we learn from them? Can we leverage SA's current situation and make some good money along the way?

With the prices of fuel so high, Kenny (video 1) recommends investing in property next to railways (think: Gautrain). This video, on the other hand, recommend a home-based business to avoid the fuel problems altogether.

I can vouch for that. We haven't had a car for the past 3-4 months and, yet, business goes on and we're doing fine. We haven't really experienced the issues everyone else has had with petrol prices as a result. Worth considering starting a home based business, isn't it?<!-- technorati tags begin -->
