SOMETIMES A PERSON who would never dream of doing harm to his or her family ends up doing that very thing by failing to be a good financial steward.
THIS SELDOM RESULTS from loving their family too little, nor from being intentionally selfish or careless, but, in most cases, from having never understood one or both of the following:
1) THE CONNECTION between careful investing and successful living. For example, most people realize that having an extra half-million dollars in the bank when they retire would make a big difference in their lifestyle. But most would be shocked to learn how easy that would have been if they had simply begun a modest investment program 20 or 30 years ago. I often ask folks to guess how much a one-time $1,000 investment at age 20, with a modest eight percent rate of return, would be worth at age 65; their answer is almost always far too low. Part of what we at Golden Circle do is help people understand the life-changing POWER of sensible, long-term investments, and understand the FACT that their financial dreams and goals are within their grasp.
2) THE NECESSITY of seeking professional help in managing one’s finances. People who wouldn’t dream of building a house without professional help often fail to realize the foolishness of attempting to build a solid financial future without the assistance of a professional. It is especially important in uncertain times, such as those America is now experiencing, that financial professionals guide us through the dangers inherent in major financial decisions, as well as help monitor our investment plans and motivate us to stay committed to our goals.
