Financial Learning Curve: Overcoming Frustration
2008-05-13 18:06:00 The first step to taking control of and improving our finances is education. For many people, this involves suddenly paying attention to a subject which they perceive as boring, foreign and possibly intimidating. Most people begin by trying to wade through the financial section of the daily paper and/or going to the library and taking out books on finances. While this ‘plunge in’ approach to learning can be a great way to start, because it is so intense it can often be daunting, and cause people to feel overwhelmed and give up. Fear not, as these feelings are normal, and things actually WILL get better and more clear. In fact, the more you learn about the financial world, the more FUN you will have dealing with your finances. As with anything you feel you are good at, what now seems like a chore will become a pleasure, especially as you begin to see the results of your efforts. Below are some of the more common feelings which accompany a woman/person starting out on the ... More About: Financial , Curve , Frustration , Learning
Financial Freedom is Achieved Through Passive Income
2008-05-11 17:47:00 I am still reading Kim Kiyosaki’s Rich Woman and in the true Kiyosaki style she offers some incredible common sense “objection handling” to the common issues thrown up when it comes to why so few women have succeeded in obtaining financial independence either within a relationship or on their own. 1. I don’t have the time. 2. I am not smart enough. 3. I haven’t got the money. Now as a mother myself, I can fully relate to the time factor involved with bringing up children, however I take on board Kim Kiyosaki’s viewpoint that if my life depended upon finding the time, I’d have found it somehow. I concur with the viewpoint that men are not born smarter than women when it comes to finances, in fact biologically women are better equipped for investing than men. ( Kim goes on to show this .) I began studying investing over 12 years ago, when on regular trips to the USA & Canada I was amazed at the extent of personal finance books, business and self help books available ...

5 tips on how not to be misled by your advisor
2008-05-09 18:36:00 Mis-selling and poor advice continue to plague the domain of investment and insurance products. To make matters worse, a section of advisors/agents vociferously claims that the aforementioned don’t exist; others choose to justify the same by shifting the onus onto investors. Such trivialities notwithstanding, the ground reality is that mis-selling and poor advice are ‘clear and present’ menaces that investors routinely encounter. Typically, by the time an investor realises that he has become a victim of mis-selling/poor advice, the damage has already been done. We thought it would be interesting to come up with a checklist of warning signals that can caution an investor of an impending investment/insurance disaster. Now, we aren’t claiming that this list is an exhaustive one. Perhaps, it wouldn’t be possible to create an exhaustive list, given the numerous instances of poor advice rendered and the innovative mis-selling techniques deployed. But this can...
