Becoming Rich… or as the rich say, WEALTHY!

What does it take? A very simple plan, a bit of knowledge, a bit of discipline, and a lot of patience.

In my years as a Financial Advisor, the biggest obstacle for investors was understanding what they were investing in. The industry itself is prone to using language that is not easily understood, thereby adding to the problem.

My inspiration to start this blog was first and foremost, my desire for everyone to be as rich as they can be regardless of their income. I also knew I had the ability to simplify using language that beginners, and people in general, could understand. Have you ever listened to someone speak and felt that they must be speaking in some foreign language? Or that you didn’t understand enough of what they said to figure out how to even form a somewhat intelligent question? Or you were just made to feel so dumb that you didn’t dare open your mouth for fear that it might prove your stupidity? Well, you are not alone – we have

been there!

I was always really curious and asked a lot of questions (I think my parents forgot to tell me about the part about looking stupid). News Flash - there is no such thing as a stupid question, so I encourage you to ask and ask again. If you are unsure how to ask the question, ask the person to explain it differently; ask what that acronym stands for or what that word means. This is how we learn so please, NEVER be afraid to ask.

Since I cannot ask myself a question and because I am not that tech savvy, Logan, my 21-year-old grandson and I are joining forces to bring you this blog. He has young friends just starting their own financial journey and the education to ask the right questions for you. And I have the investment experience and older friends who ask “Can you please talk to my kid(s)”. Together, we will get you started on the road to riches. We will pro

ve that you can be rich regardless of your income, without winning a lottery, without getting really lucky on a hot investment tip, without an inheritance, without selling an organ, without robbing a bank, without marrying for money (believe me, you’ll pay for that), without MANY years of post-secondary education …..

So fasten your seat belts and let's hit the road ……. The road to Riches!
