I am not selling anything. I want to help everyone succeed financially.
Too many people are living paycheck to paycheck, and don't know where to start to organize their financial life.  Here are very simple concepts to apply to your life as soon as possible.
Simple Steps to Win Financially

  • Pay yourself first! No one will take care of you better than you when it is time to retire. All long term capital gain should be in a tax shelter such as an IRA.
  • Keep your financial life simple so that if you become sick, disabled, or even die, the survivors are well protected financially.
  • Keep up with your current bills
  • Spend less than you earn
  • Build up emergency fund that your promise not to touch unless you have a REAL emergency.
  • Save up to pay for things
  • Cut up your credit cards and pay off your consumer debts
  • Do not finance depreciating items - cars, vacations, dining out, timeshare, even education.
  • Pay 20% down on a house, and get a 15 year mortgage or less
  • Don't fall for scams, frauds, and get-rich-quick money making schemes, including lottery.
  • Maintain a monthly budget, and keep open line of communication with your spouse or your significant other.
  • Don't buy anything jointly, unless you are married to that person.
  • Purchase appropriate amount of insurances - level-term life, auto, homeowner's, renters, medical, disability, long-term care, etc.  Make sure liability amount is high enough.
  • Keep updated will, durable power of attorney, living will, will data form, passports, and funeral directives in a safe spot along with all other insurance, investment, and ownership documents.
  • Check to see all beneficiary names are correct on your life insurance, retirement funds, annuities, and will.
  • Save up for college fund if you have minor children.
  • Stay up with tax rules and changes
I will hold your hand step by step to do each of these things with you. Peace of mind is only a phone call away. When it comes to getting on the right track financially, what is the best time to get started? Now?
