Well...I'm officially back to the drawing board for at least 18 months. NOT A RANT, but please bear with me for just a moment: One of the millions of reasons why the West (in general) and the United States (in particular) is awesome, is its strong tradition of intellectual property rights protections. I had intended to launch my financial services LLC this year under "the perfect name" from the concepts I operate with. The US Patent Office shot me down. Someone out there is in the same market sector using nearly the same perfect name with a trademarked spelling. I had hoped to reveal the front of my shingle which includes the LLC name, but not for a little while longer yet. Wish me luck for Round Two. (And if you have any ideas for names, feel free to Message them to me 😁)

Happy Financial Friday with a bonus addendum to How Money Works (11 of 10)!

There's a bridge that connects "Wish to/Want to" with "Having/Doing." That bridge is called Stewardship.

Having and Doing often require funding. When it comes to investing, one must accumulate, preserve, and distribute their wealth accordingly - this is the investing life cycle - which is fueled by Time, Effort, and Discipline.

There will be hazards along the way such as traps called debt, regret, poor planning, and missed opportunities.

The hazards have an amazing way of creeping in without a healthy respect for (in Hebrew at the bottom, yes I know how it's pronounced 😁) "seed time and harvest."

Special thanks to Cynthia Ashley for helping me bring the art for this special project of mine to life. She's a heck of an artist that has also done considerable work on this thing that I plan to fully reveal next year.

Happy Financial Friday with How Money Works (10 of 10)!

Lots of moving parts, but we made it to the official end of this series! I thought up one bonus that I will post next week. Did you know that 80% of successful investing is governed by individual investor behavior? If one starts early, time – particularly compounding time – is completely on their side. Regardless of where you are in your financial journey, there are three things you should do to ensure your financial success in the investing arena – dollar-cost average, stay disciplined, and diversify. Notes on this below.

Happy Financial Friday with How Money Works (9 of 10)!

Mutual funds are a great way to become an “owner” of great businesses within our economy and not a “loaner” to the banks and middlemen that claim to serve the interests of working folks like us at large. There are other excellent financial tools as well.
Yes, we are talking about investing in an economy that moves up, down, and sideways at times so there’s “risk” per se, but there’s greater risk in not engaging the economic engine to your advantage – especially in a higher inflationary environment that eats away at your buying power over time. Even with a well-above average salary, it is impossible to save your way to prosperity. You must invest so why not invest wisely and get help where needed?

Happy Financial Friday with How Money Works (8 of 10)!

So “ownership” is interesting. What is often thought of as a “safe” investment is cash in a bank account, Certificates of Deposit, bonds, and a few other “low risk” of loss tools. The main three mentioned above parks your money with a bank, investment firm, or corporation and pays a very low rate of return – often in a higher inflationary environment – while the bank, firm, or corporation uses your money to secure a higher returning asset. In other words, you loan money to a middleman who then gives you a small tip for growing your money in the background and they keep the excess profits for your trouble! (And let’s not talk about the taxes and fees which cut into those safe returns even more.)

Do you have a job? If yes, then you have a tax problem! The harder you work to get ahead and build your income, the more taxes you pay. In order to have the maximum cash at retirement, you need to find a way to minimize taxes.

Happy Financial Friday with How Money Works (6 of 10)!

So…most normal people enjoy talking about their own mortality, but it happens to be one of those inescapable topics. What is “life insurance” to you and what would you have others use it for? A better way to think about it is income protection. How would your family and loved ones get along without you if they were dependent on you AND your income when you were suddenly not there “before your time?” Do you have the right amount and right type of insurance?

Happy Financial Friday with How Money Works (5 of 10)!

Of all the threats to your financial security, none is more dangerous than debt. Debt slavery is marketed to the poor and middle class so aggressively that being broke on account of consumer debt is considered normal – and just think of how compounding may be working against you while making others rich. Is it any wonder that the biggest, nicest, and tallest buildings in any city belong to the banks? I am personally so passionate about debt-freedom that I must make an offer right here instead of the comments section. If you are managing debt and want out of it so you can get your investment life on track as efficiently as possible, I’ll be happy to provide you with a confidential, comprehensive, diagnostic tool to help you do just that.

Happy Financial Friday with How Money Works (4 of 10)!

I believe rate of return always matters, but if you have more time, rate of return may matter just a bit less or possibly much more depending on your goals. The difference of a few percentage points may seem minor, but the impact of rate of return when combined with time is significant. This is where risk tolerance over time comes into play. Imagine I acquired a new middle class working client under thirty investing 100 per month into a “high interest,” but “safe” bond fund earning 4.5% a year. HUGE mistake! For sake of example, why not put that into a Roth IRA that, again for the sake of example, that earns 9%. See the chart below to visualize what a difference that makes.

Pay Yourself First: Time, effort and discipline are your friends here!

The problem: At the end of the month, most people don’t have anything left to save.
Solution: At the first of the month, before you pay anyone else, write a check to yourself for 10% of your income. Paying yourself first may be the single most important concept shared in this series – and hey, if not 10%, everyone starts somewhere!

Take Control: Do you own your stuff or does your stuff own you?

Start with awareness and change your thinking! We’ve all heard it before, but repetition happens to be a key to learning so 1) truly understand the difference between wants and needs; 2) adjust your priorities; 3) set goals and have a plan; 4) pay yourself first through an emergency fund, short-term savings account, and/or investment account as appropriate for your phase of the money game; 5) consider extra income opportunities. Above all, concentrate on the things you CAN control.
