Well, actually I've been published before in a number of different places, but this one is special. Why? Janus Funds is a great fund company and it is exciting to see my advice on the internet. I have heard a lot of tough stories this past year. Many people have realized that they waited too long to create a plan-whether for college savings, retirement, or the proverbial "rainy day". This past year was the "rainy year". I hope that these easy to follow tips can make a difference in someone's life.
I was lucky enough to get some sage advice from my father-in-law to start an IRA in the early 1980's before they were popular. My little nest egg has had it's ups and downs over the years, but it is still chugging away. A brilliant demonstration of the time value of money and simple compounding principles. Here are some simple, basic tips for planning at any age. It's time to get going!
GO TO PERSON
Every family should have a “go to” person who can give answers to political and issue concerns, as suggested by Rush Limbaugh. Learning how means starting at the roots, the beginnings and differences between two sides of the same coin, which is all there is. One side is long established, where the few rule the many, irrespective of their labels. The other side is the newest, that of individual freedom and limited government. Why do many follow each side, and why the conflict between them? What side do current issues come from, such as health care, cap and trade as well as amnesty for illegal immigrants? What side of the coin most impacts the lives of your family, to whom you provide the answers? Call up claysamerica.com for the roots of both sides and improve your understanding of the issues so you have the answers. Claysamerica.com
