Download or read book The Simple Path to Wealth written by Jl Collins and published by Jl Collins LLC. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the dark, bewildering, trap-infested jungle of misinformation and opaque riddles that is the world of investment, JL Collins is the fatherly wizard on the side of the path, offering a simple map, warm words of encouragement and the tools to forge your way through with confidence. You'll never find a wiser advisor with a bigger heart." -- Malachi Rempen: Filmmaker, cartoonist, author and self-described ruffian This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things-mostly about money and investing-she was not yet quite ready to hear. Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical. "But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run. Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms. Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective. The simple approach I created for her and present now to you, is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other. Together we'll explore: Debt: Why you must avoid it and what to do if you have it. The importance of having F-you Money. How to think about money, and the unique way understanding this is key to building your wealth. Where traditional investing advice goes wrong and what actually works. What the stock market really is and how it really works. Why the stock market always goes up and why most people still lose money investing in it. How to invest in a raging bull, or bear, market. Specific investments to implement these strategies. The Wealth Building and Wealth Preservation phases of your investing life and why they are not always tied to your age. How your asset allocation is tied to those phases and how to choose it. How to simplify the sometimes confusing world of 401(k), 403(b), TSP, IRA and Roth accounts. TRFs (Target Retirement Funds), HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) and RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions). What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competition. Why you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at all. Why and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming prey. Why I don't recommend dollar cost averaging. What financial independence looks like and how to have your money support you. What the 4% rule is and how to use it to safely spend your wealth. The truth behind Social Security. A Case Study on how this all can be implemented in real life. Enjoy the read, and the journey!

Download or read book Fix Your 401K written by Phil McAvoy and published by Phil McAvoy. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You should be worried about your 401k. If it continues to underperform, you will have a seriously underwhelming retirement - worried about daily bills and paying for your healthcare. You might even have to go back to work. You can rescue your retirement and you need to do it now. Time is not on your side. People just don't know how to invest their retirement savings. People are confused and anxious and frustrated and, as a result, they are losing out on millions of dollars in their retirement accounts. The financial services industry has simply not created the kinds of products and services that allow people to make very good rates of return on their money and keep their money relatively safe at the same time. Because their products and services are so bad, the financial services industry has developed all sorts of fancy terms for their strategies to make it sound like they know what they are doing. To someone without any training (most of us), it is difficult to see through the rubbish that they are peddling. I am about to show you that there is a much better and safer way to build wealth in the stock market. You can invest with confidence. You can avoid the stress and fear associated with investing in the stock market. You can sleep well knowing that your retirement savings are protected against the financial and emotional damage of bear market collapses. You can spend less time focused on the stock market and the financial news and more time living your life. You can feel great about your amazing 401(k) plan. To achieve the kind of wealth we're talking about, 401(k) investors like you need to do two things differently. First, you need to make better investment choices. Making better investment choices will almost double the investment returns for most 401(k) investors. We'll show exactly what to invest in. Second, investors need a strategic and systemic approach in order to avoid the financial and emotional pain of bear-market collapses like the one we're experiencing in 2022. My Beyond Buy & Hold method is designed to do just that. Not only can you add another three or four percentage points to your annual returns with a system that avoids bear markets, but you can invest without fear. If you want to secure a comfortable retirement, you need to FIX YOUR 401K.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 40 years, Tom Stanley and his daughter Sarah Stanley Fallaw have been involved in research examining how self-made, economically successful Americans became that way. Despite the publication of The Millionaire Next Door, The Millionaire Mind, and others, myths about wealth in American still abound. Government officials, journalists, and many American still tend to confuse income with wealth. A new generation of household financial managers are hearing from so-called experts in personal financial management due to the proliferation of the cottage industry of financial blogs, podcasts, and the like. In many cases, these outlets are simply experiences shared without science, case studies without data based on broader populations. Therefore, the authors decided to take another look at millionaires in the United States to examine what changes could be seen 20 years after the original publication of The Millionaire Next Door. In this book the authors highlight how specific decisions, behaviors, and characteristics align with the discipline of wealth building, covering areas such as consumption, budgeting, careers, investing, and financial management in general. They include results from quantitative studies of wealth as well as case studies of individuals who have been successful in building wealth. They discuss general paths to building wealth on your own, focusing specifically on careers and lifestyles associated with each path, and what it takes to be successful in each.
