Investing 102

[Bucketlist2012]

Well I will throw in my two cents again.

I am hooked on that show, "American Greed", where people get scammed out of their money. It just amazes me what people will do with their life savings...Sad.

One thing I would say is to get a subscription to Kiplinger's Magazine just as some more reading material. Also maybe Smart Money, or Money magazine.
It couldn't hurt to get more info on investing, How much you need for retirement, Long term care , ect...

Also IF you need help....And I say IF, you would be looking for a FIDUCIARY, who would only be a FEE-ONLY Planner..Someone in the NAPFA or Garrett Organization.

You never write the checks to them, you ALWAYS have a Custodian like Schwab or Fidelity, ect...

A Fiduciary has the obligation to have YOUR best interests at Heart, and they do not sell you products on Commission..They are not Brokers.

I know most of you do your own Investing, but for those who may need help, try the magazines first, and then try a FEE ONLY FIDUCIARY..

Just a thought for the day...
