I strongly suggest you check out principiapub.com and consider ordering the book MONEY.

Why? Because you will receive “inside” information that most don’t know about, or choose to be ignorant of (including bankers & lawyers)

Reading this book may also help you to build and/or preserve wealth.

I receive no money from recommending this book or from you ordering this book. I simply wish I would have known about this information earlier in my life, and I want to share it with others.

Happy reading.

Why economic activity increases — well that’s a whole subject in itself. Suffice it to say, economic output has been increasing since the dawn of civilization. So while you can’t guarantee on a specific % increase (or decrease) over short period, you can bank on the overall trend.

I’ll give you one more easy answer for your girlfriend. If you don’t invest, you are guaranteed to lose money to inflation. If you invest, you can either grow your money or lose money. The first option guarantees you will have to depend on government handouts to survive during retirement. The second option gives you the possibility of avoiding the scenario — and if it doesn’t work out, you’re no worse than you were before.

I am a 20-something who in the past couple of years is finnaly getting her personal finances under control. I have a budget we stick to, we have successfully been contributing to our savings regularly, and we both contribute to our retirement funds.

I feel like the next step is investing some of our savings in the stock market, or bonds, or whatever. But I have no clue where to start. I need a beginner’s crash course, and some advice on where to go to find out more in-depth.

Thanks!

Just remember that knowing is the first step in the fix and don’t give yourself excuses like “I’m too busy” since it doesn’t take more than 5 minutes a day to keep track of the expenses once you have the spreadsheet setup.

You are welcome to contact me if you think discussing with someone about it will help. Just let me know.
