Do you hear all the time about everyone else's retirement account with $100,000 or more in it? They have scrimped and saved for decades to build this nest egg. Passed on nice cars and vacations. Raised their kids in a lesser neighborhood to save a little on the mortgage. And what do they have to show for that suffering? A lousy $100,000. Do you think you can retire on $100,000 in cash? Think again. Assuming an interest rate of 4%, their mighty retirement account will make $4,000 per year.

Not much has changed 90 years later - except for the economics. You can build a wooden billboard for $4,000 to $8,000. And you can rent it for $2,500+ per year per side - paid in advance.

He came to pick me up in his rental car in my home town of Weiz and we drove past the rolling hills of Eastern Styria through the picturesque villages of Anger and Birkfeld. Driving further up into the mountainous country to stop at the mountain pass of Alpl from where we had a gorgeous view of the high mountain regions of Upper Styria.On our way down from the mountain pass we drove down into the valley which hosts one of the region's most popular tourist destinations: Peter Rosegger's "Waldheimatschule", a rural school building that was attended by one of Austria's most famous poets of the 19th and early 20th century, Peter Rosegger. He was almost awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 and to this day remains a popular local hero.Continuing on our way into the Mürz River Valley we turned right onto the highway that connects Upper Styria with Vienna and drove towards the Semmering, a mountain pass at the border of Styria and Lower Austria.
