What do you want?





I remembered sitting in school as a young child visualizing what I wanted to be when I grew up. Little did I know that life doesn't always go according to your plan. there are bills, rent, mortgage, school fees, car payments and grocery bills that keep increasing month after month.
After giving it some thought I've come to realize that everyone basically want the same thing:




1) to protect their children and love ones from poverty
2) to maintain good health and ensure money is available if they do become ill.
3) to have adequate savings "although saving might be an issue"
4) most  people want to retire early with a comfortable pension

With over twenty five years experience in the financial industry , I have decided to share basis financial advice that can be used to take you through this difficult economic climate.

Secret to owning your first home

Most persons want to own their own home. To some its just a dream that starts to fade away as they grow older. To others it means finding a way to increase their monthly income or finding the right partner so that their dream can become a reality. As property prices increase steadily the qualifying income also increases sometimes to unattainable limits for  single income earner. Let me just share a couple things I've come across over time. Buy a fixer upper I know it sounds strange but consider the cost of a livable fixer up in a good neighbourhood vs the cost of a completed property. Purchasing a fixer upper allows you to own your home, move in and do renovations over time.

How to live beyond your last payday.

For many, retirement may seem a long way off. I have included a good example to show the true reality of your retirement income. Let us suppose you earn an income of $10000 monthly ,at age 35 and hope to retire at age 60. Try looking at your retirement from a monetary perspective. Put quite simply you would only have 300 months within which you will be paid $3000000. An individual who is not actively pursuing a retirement plan will be faced with even greater financial shortcomings when retirement hits.

A great place to start is to consider investing 10% of that $3000000 toward your golden years . Therefore that $1000 per month guarantees you an income every month from the day you retire until the day yo...
