Financing Your Personal Life

Wealth Planning: Offense vs. Defense
| |
| This area of wealth planning is by far the most misunderstood and ignored. The personal finance industry which is so completely dominated by its focus on mutual funds has distracted the masses by having them focus on mutual fund rates of returns, dollar cost averaging, and other topics that get us to continue to just blindly, month after month, throw more and more money into their funds. The mutual fund industry would have you believe that as long as you put money away each month and pick the “top rated” funds everything will be great. |

Wealth Planning: Defensive Strategies
| |
| Finding a qualified “Wealth Planner” is a subject for yet another day.

Creating a Strong Financial Defense
| |
| I don’t know if this has ever happened to you but there are times when I have looked down at my phone to do something “really quick” only to look up and realize that I have gone a block or more.

If I was found to be at fault in this accident which would certainly be the case because I was not paying 100% attention, I would be completely liable for the injured persons’ medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost income. |

Another Reason REI Beats Paper Assets
| |
| In this article I want to discuss something called the “Preferred List”. This is a list of the funds that a brokerage recommends to their clients. It is the selection of funds that their research has determined are the absolute best in the industry for the firm’s clients. Sadly, in a lot of cases this list is made up of fund families that paid some sort of extra consideration to be on the list. It’s also interesting how often the firm’s proprietary funds end up on that list. Hence, if you are a client of Merrill Lynch, let’s say, you will typically see quite a few Merrill Lynch funds on that list. This is a simple case of allowing how much you get paid to drive your decisions on what funds to recommend. |
