Keep It Simple: The Essential Financial Life
The best guarantee
of lifelong security is having money.
Complicated finance doesn't work.
Complicated products are expensive.
Complicated money plans are not followed.
Complicated finance doesn't work.
Complicated products are expensive.
Complicated money plans are not followed.
Wouldn’t you like to assure yourself of
tax-FREE growth and income for the rest of your life? We don't need complicated
insurance, mutual funds, or financial products to have the good life. We avoid
the two KILLERS of wealth accumulation—taxes and fees.
I help you decide
which financials are best for you, now and later. You make your money work
harder for YOU; not your advisors. You don't give them 2-3% of your money every
year. Your investment edge is … the miracle of compounding. http://www.amazon.com/Keep-Simple-Essential-Financial-Life/dp/1492258849
Do you support American-made goods? Buy a Toyota
Camry not Ford Fusion
Camry is THE reliable American-made car—80% by American
workers. Most mass- market ‘foreign’ cars are made in America ,
while a lot of ‘American’ cars are NOT fully made in America . http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2011/06/how-much-of-your-car-is-made-in-america/index.htm
Many expensive cars are made outside the
US including
Caddy SRX. http://abcnews.go.com/WN/MadeInAmerica/page/made-america-car-american-made-13795239
Manufacturers source car parts by price, including transportation. Just like
beer.
Your favorites are probably made by Belgium-Brazilian
InBev, which makes Bud, Michelob, Bass Ale, Corona ,
Beck’s and Stella Artois . But Bud
gave up on Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops in favor of cheaper hops. The top 40
execs gave themselves a bonus from the savings. The German farmers had to
retire. Yuengling and Sam
Adams are the largest American-owned breweries, for now.
Are you liable for damages if you text a driver causing an accident?
A New Jersey
appeals court ruled on Tuesday that a person could have a legal duty
to avoid texting with someone who is driving. Disagreeing with a lower
court, a
panel of judges found that when a motorist is texting while driving
and causes an accident, the person who was exchanging messages with the driver
can also be liable for negligence.
But the bar is high. The person had a “special reason” to
know the driver was on the road and would read the messages. Only in NJ though.
Donald TrumpU is asked for HIS “birth” certificate!
Last week, the New York Attorney General sued Donald Trump
over a host of allegedly illegal practices engaged in by Trump's real estate ‘seminars.’
The AG's alleges nasty
practices like promising actual hand-picked teachers with actual real
estate experience. Donald’s “University” has no ‘birth’ certificate. Can’t
practice “educating” without a license.
Did you celebrate Labor Day?
Underemployment rate near 15%. Not much to party about.
Labor lost to capital: Wages fell as productivity grew nearly 8%. Output and
profits increased as workers earned less. Capital earned more. The
Economic Policy Institute estimates that between 2007 and 2012, wages
fell for the lowest 70 percent of all wage earners, despite productivity growth
of 7.7 percent. Since 1978, CEO pay at American firms has risen 725 percent,
more than 127 times
faster than worker pay over the same time period, according to new
data.
As a result, American income inequality has skyrocketed,
growing worse than it is in countries like Pakistan
and Ivory Coast. Wealth inequality is worse than it was even in Ancient
Rome. And, as pay skyrockets and tax rates fall for the richest Americans,
the rising inequality has left the bottom 95 percent of Americans saddled
with more debt than ever before.
Broker infractions on display
The SEC has approved more broker disciplinary
information access. The new proposal would disclose all historic
complaints dating back to 1999 for individual brokers who are currently
registered or whose registrations were terminated within the preceding two
years. The new proposal calls for making a former broker's record public for 10
years, so investors can access information about individuals who may work in
other sectors of the financial services industry or who have attained other
positions of trust. http://brokercheck.finra.org/Search/Search.aspx
Texans skip ObamaCare and go to ER
The health care needs of the uninsured do not go away simply
because they lack health insurance. The cost of providing care to these 5.7
million people is borne by hospitals, taxpayers, and the privately insured.
Hospitals are providing $5.5 Billion in uncompensated care each year.
Premium costs for private insurance are $1,800 higher, on average,
due to uncompensated care for the uninsured.
SCAMS “Deficits
don’t matter” Republican godfather, Dick Cheney, 2002
We taxpayers spend $53
BILLION so others can listen to our phone calls
Every year we pay people to listen in and “analyze” our
talk, email, etc.
Seems like a lot for a lot of bull. Terrorists don’t speak
English so the $53 BILLION may just keep a million people off the unemployment
lines. Didn’t stop 9/11/01 or Boston bombing.

This sounds like Romney country: corporations are people, my
