looks function chiefs
The chief function of stock-market forecasters is to make astrologers look respectable.
smart credit cash
Everyone can get a little sloppy with cash and it's smart to notice. But what's squeezing you is the big stuff you ladle onto your credit cards.
needs
You get the most out of what you need the least.
real tickets forget
Stock prices aren't real things. They're just froth on a wave. The wave is the only real thing, which investors forget when they're watching the ticket slither by.
appreciation flower home
For all the huffing and puffing of the doubters, a home of our own is still the rock on which our hopes are built. Price appreciation aside (and most houses will appreciate, eventually), homeownership is a state of mind. It's your piece of the earth. It's where a family's toes grow roots. It's where the flowers are yours, not God's.
trying claims interest
Never try to time the bond market. Anyone who claims to know the future of interest rates is certifiable.
way facts wealth
It's a fact: stock investors sometimes lose money on their way to wealth. Get over it.
years tomorrow evidence
No one knows what stocks will do tomorrow, but the evidence is clear as to how they'll perform over 10 or 20 years. They will almost certainly go up.
political election should
Where you stand should not depend on where you sit.
money giving advice
A faithfully kept program of savings and conservative investments can give you more money and a better life than that of your neighbors who spend everything they get. This is probably the oldest financial advice in the world, but there are some things you can't improve on.
money commitment maturity
You don't date an annuity, you marry it. An annuity isn't a mutual fund that you buy today and sell tomorrow. Nor is it a certificate of deposit, ready for any new use at maturity. When you buy an annuity, you are making (or ought to be making) a 15- or 20-year commitment, at least.
lawyer
Buy a friend; hire a lawyer.
real estates said
Everyone said, 'You can't lose money in real estate, because they're not making any more of it.' Hmmmm. Where did everyone go wrong?
bridges tolls driving
Auto insurance is a toll bridge, over which every honest driver has to pass.
