What's Up With This?

Maybe he’s not so rich. Financial planners get paid to advise you how to invest your money. I would assume they are doing well because they're following their own advice. But what about if they're just starting out? I've had friends try their luck at brokering stocks and the like. It's a lot more like "Pursuit of Happyness" than "Wall Street." As for that tycoon, that's just the rich getting richer. That course or book you bought just made it happen a little more quickly.

I have no motive other than to share and perhaps help. I sell no products that help people become financially secure. I do have some ads, but that's just me trying to cover costs...maybe a few pennies here & there. I'm a salesman, a web marketer, and a one time tax preparer. One thing I know a lot about is how not to get rich. I can share those ideas like crazy.

I do remember a time in my life when things were going pretty well. I was young and financially secure, but there were a few key decisions that I made, that impeded me from being set for life. I can pinpoint one or two events in my financial history that would have given me the financial freedom my family deserves, but I chose the opposite.

Life has taught me some valuable yet painful lessons. In this blog, I plan to share these lessons with the world in hopes of helping others make sound financial decisions. Pretty much everything you do in life comes down to a decision. I'm talking about decisions like eating well, avoiding drugs, driving safely and so on. Of equal importance should be deciding to use money wisely.
