If something were to happen to you today, what financial position would it leave your family? One thing that is inevitable in this world is death, yet so many people fail to obtain a life insurance policy. While still in your youth, it is easy to keep putting it off, but as you get older and begin to start a family, buy a home, and/or start a business, it is vital that you make life insurance apart of your financial planning to protect your family in the event of your death.

Change your Mindset to Change your Life
I was listening to a podcast the other day and the guest was speaking on wealth and how if wealth was distributed evenly amongst everyone in the United States, that within 10 years or less the same people who were poor would be poor again and those who were rich would have earned back what they lost and more. I know some may find this hard to believe, but think about it; how many people have you known that have come into a large sum of money only to blow it all? This is
Recycle Your Investment Funds
So you have read all the books, conquered the mindset portion of your journey focusing on saving and living a lifestyle that is well below your means, and now you are ready to invest. What’s next for most people is the accumulation of a set monetary amount that you will invest into an asset.

Tired of Your Money Running Away? This is How you Catch it!
Financial literacy was always something that I took for granted. I mean we all know the old sayings of “pay yourself first” “live within your means” and other information passed down from generation to generation which basically amounted to enjoying the weekend with friends and loved ones and hoping that you saved enough money for gas to get back and forth to work until you got paid on Friday.
