Financial planning in your 60s

July 28th, 2010

Your twenties were the party years. During your thirties and forties you raised your family. Maybe your fifties if you were lucky you enjoyed an increase in financial freedom as your children became less dependent on you for financial support. Then suddenly you are heading towards your sixties and it dawns on you that there is so much more to consider with regards to your financial situation and your pending retirement from the workforce.

The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter, but are you ready for it?

Of course the above scenario does vary depending on whether you had your children in your early twenties (like my parents did) or you waited until you were in your forties like my Aunt did. Regardless of where you fit in with your current situation, it can never be too early or too late for financially plan for your sixties.

First things first, if you are not comfortable with financial planning don’t hesitate to hire a Financial Planner. They all should be good with figures, the current taxation laws in state, budgeting and balancing of investments that you may already have or may choose to delve into.

Maybe somebody in your family has offered to provide you with some advice, and although they may be a very close family member, unless you are very comfortable with them knowing your financial situation, I’d steer clear of family, and go with the neutral option of the professional. Oh and make sure you get yourself a Legal Will, if you haven’t already done this.

Before you hire a financial planner, it would be wise to have a good idea of a few things, such as your employment status. Are you planning to retire around 65? Or do you want to continue working? Of course this may depend a lot on what sort of work you do, whether you work for yourself and whether financially you need to continue to work. Maybe you are already retired.

Your desire to continue to work may be based on a lifestyle choice or it may be based on a financial need. Which leads to the next thought to ponder; how much money do you think you are going to need for the next say 40 years? Do you intend to travel the world, the country or just have a few trips here and there? Or are you more likely to spend your retirement on the Golf Course, Tennis court, or in your garden doing all the things you just never had time for. Are there any large purchases you were planning to make at this stage of your living? Depending on the way in which you plan to spend your retirement

Financial planners: Fee

July 26th, 2010

Fee-only financial planners don’t receive a dime in commissions on the investment products they advise you about. If you think that makes them objective, and therefore trustworthy about what the best investment are for your portfolio, you’re right.

When you go to a no-fee financial planner you are getting less than you pay for. Because that financial planner has an incentive to steer you into investments that will pay him or her a big fat commission.

Most financial planners who work on commission are interested, not in getting the investment products that best meet your needs, but instead in setting up an income stream for themselves that will keep paying them big fees for years into the future.

This is because mutual fund companies pay a percentage of the cost of your mutual fund investment to the financial planner who sold them to you. And they keep paying the financial planner, year after year, so long as you stay invested.

And don’t kid yourself. Even though you don’t pay the financial planner directly, you’re still paying every cent that he gets. It comes from the management fee your mutual fund company charges, you know the MER that lops 1% or 2% off your investment each year. That may not sound like much, but when you reach the point where you have a couple of hundred thousand of dollars invested – which isn’t that much in a retirement account – you’re looking at three to four thousand dollars per year just for management fees.

Do you remember how long it took you to save your first four thousand dollars?

Now, not all of that money goes to your financial planner of course, but rest assured, he’s well rewarded.

A fee-only financial planner never gets a commission from any of the investments they recommend for you. They may, for example, instead of recommending a mutual fund for your two hundred thousand dollar investment, recommend a basket of stocks similar to those in the mutual fund. Instead of paying 1% or 2% per year in MERs, you’ll be receiving 1% or 2% a year in dividends. That’s a difference of four to eight thousand dollars in savings to you, every single year, before the capital return on your investment even starts.

So having a fee-only financial planner can make a big difference to the success of your investment account. Sure, you’ll have to pay them up front, and you’ll have to write the check yourself. But if you go with a no-fee planner instead, the mutual fund company will be writing your financial planner’s paycheck. It’ll still be your money, though, and it will be a whole lot bigger.

How To Resolve Money Problems

July 26th, 2010
It's All About Money

Why do many intelligent, talented people under-earn? What is the psychology behind why people short-change themselves, earn less than they are capable, and experience financial problems because their needs exceed their income?

We create money problems by resisting how much cash we allow to flow into our lives. There is no shortage of money, but a reluctance to feel worthy to receive it, even if it means extreme hardship. This is “money resistance.”

Money resistance, then, is the sub-conscious reluctance to earn more money. It is also a desire to hoard money because you feel insecure about your ability to earn more. In either case, you associate pain to money and try to avoid dealing with it.

You have money resistance when your expenses exceed your income, you feel panicked about how to pay your coming expenses, and you feel uncreative and unresourceful about how to make any more money. You also lack the drive or will to explore how to solve your problem. You have a general feeling of apathy about what to do.

Money resistance is created by the subconscious mind.

Your subconscious mind, which is about 90% or more of your mind, runs you–although, you may believe you are 100% conscious. You are run by your moods, feelings, and past traumas. In the past, when you associated any kind of pain in relationship to money, your subconscious mind tried to keep you safe by trying to bring less money into your life. Thus, you have a reluctance to earn it, save it, and even spend it. There is a general feeling of discomfort around money. You’d rather not deal with it.

You know you have money resistance if you are low on money and feel the pinch.

Most people like to point out their lack of opportunities. But if the world had a dearth of opportunities, then poverty would exist for everyone. However, many people earn large amounts of money. Thus, making money is an inner game. When you feel good about serving others, they gladly pay you for it. If this is not the case, you are either not serving others or associating with negative people. Something needs to shift within you to motivate you to find the right work and be with the right people.

It is ironic that people resist money when they need it–but this is something that happens at the sub-conscious level, not at the conscious level.

It is because money is a highly-emotionally charged subject. This charge creates a strong effect on the subconscious mind. Since most of this charge is negative, that is, pain associated with handling money, a defense mechanism of avoidance kicks in. All of this happens below the threshold of conscious awareness. On the surface of things, people appear to be struggling really hard to make a small amount of money. Yet if making money had to do with hard work, ditch diggers would be millionaires. Making money is a creative act. You have to dig into your well-spring of ideas and energy to start earning more. You can start to retrain your subconscious mind to start working in alignment with your conscious desires. When it does, you will be amazed at your own resourcefulness.

The first impact of healing a money wound is that it will improve your job performance. It will also allow you to be more resourceful in finding or creating a new job if you don’t like your current work.

When you change within, your outer world changes. You become more creative, more resourceful, more outgoing, more giving. You also stop deleting all those opportunities for further education or creative self-expression that you automatically and habitually delete. Once you uproot the reluctance to earn money, you are open to looking at your environment and your relationship to other people in a whole new way.

The only way to get control back, even if things are currently out of control, is by becoming more conscious of what is sabotaging you from within. By uprooting your beliefs about money, beliefs that you don’t even know you have, you start to move in the direction of being resourceful and taking steps to improve your situation.

I was exposed to “money resistance” when working with clients in a therapeutic practice. In that setting, you get to unravel the blocks and inhibitions in people’s subconscious minds. Therapy is bringing the hidden fears into the light of awareness, so that the person can then move beyond it. One of the biggest problems people have is insufficient income to meet their needs. However, once the root cause is pulled up to the conscious mind, you automatically let go of it.

A Financial Leadership Question: Does the Accumulation of Money Equate to Wealth?

July 25th, 2010
lust money

Money is the root of….., well you know the rest. I have heard so many different conversations about money throughout my life. Some conversations demonize money, making it seem as though wanting to accumulate it is an evil sin, while others champion the notion of accumulating it, making it seem as though this pastime is humanity’s sole purpose for existing. There are other conversations about money that infer that only a small percentage of society will ever have the ability to accumulate money because of privilege, while the masses will be destined to simply chase it to no avail. There are many differing views as to what money is, how to or who can amass it, and whether it is right or wrong to do so. Well, I am not going to get into the morality issue involving the accumulation of money, instead I would like to focus on the following question: Does the accumulation of money equate to wealth? In order to properly respond to this inquiry, I will have to address some of the conversations we just touched upon by answering the following questions:

What is money?
Is money necessary?
Are some people destined to accumulate money while others are doomed to simply pursue it to no avail?
What is wealth?

What Is Money?

Money is a form of currency. It is a physical representation of value used for exchange in the marketplace. Money was not always the preferred means of exchange, however. Bartering (a economic exchange rooted in trading one set of items or services for another) was the means of exchange long ago, as the marketplace was far simpler, consisting of fewer products and services for sale, as well as fewer people in which to sell these products and services to. Prior to the formation of large villages and international trading, the marketplace did not require a complex currency/exchange system. However, as the numbers of buyers and sellers grew, it became more apparent that a more complex form of exchange would be needed. Hence, the creation and utilization of monetary-based exchange systems.

Now, while you and I can read the worth of a dollar bill on its face, as a dollar, its true worth may not be that, as a currency’s value is never stagnant, as all of the values of the different currencies’ around the world are constantly fluctuating. This fluctuation is most often based on the stability of the market(s) that a given currency supplies. Therefore, as with other currencies around the world, America’s dollar fluctuates based on the stability of the marketplaces it serves. However, there is one changing dynamic fundamental to this economic theory that seems to currently be upsetting the apple cart, and that is globalization. As the world moves closer to a global economy, each nation’s currency will be more interconnected with one another, meaning that instabilities in markets outside of one’s physical borders will have an ever increasing impact on one’s currency.

I say all of this to show you that money is simply a fluctuating commodity used for the buying and selling of products and services in the world’s various marketplaces. However, the problem is that many of us put far too much emphasis on money as a tangible good, which often leads to unsuccessfully chasing an intangible theory.

Is Money Necessary?

Yes, it is. One cannot deny the necessity of money, being that it is the primary means of exchange around the world. Money is necessary for living a life that most would deem acceptable, which includes obtaining and maintaining the basics such as shelter, food, and clothing. However, where we often begin to get ourselves into trouble is when we start to acquire some of the niceties such as big screen televisions, sports cars, or elaborate vacations. I try to be very careful when talking about these niceties, because this is where a lot of people often get carried away with the “power” of money. Be clear that niceties or luxuries are not necessities, nevertheless many people often incorrectly lump the two together, causing them to relentlessly pursue money in what some would deem a sinful way. Again, I am not here to make any moral determinations about the pursuit of money, because what one may demonize as the evil pursuit or accumulation of money, another may deem as the positive result of his/her hard work. Therefore, that determination rests in the eye of the beholder. Nevertheless, there is no getting around the necessity of money to fulfill our most basic needs.

Are Some People Destined To Accumulate Money While Others Are Doomed To Simply Pursue It To No Avail?

This question plays right into the “woe is me” conversation that many people seem to have about the accumulation of money. While it is true that some people have a leg up on money accumulation, they do not have a lock on it, because remember, money is a fluctuating commodity (an intangible theory in essence). Money is based on a perceived value. Therefore, no one is doomed to be poor or penniless. However, whether you accumulate money or simply chase it resides in your perceived self-worth. Now, I know some of you may be saying this guy is crazy, but I am telling you the truth. If you were not born with a silver spoon in your mouth, then you have to shift your thinking in regards to your self-worth. Once you do that you can begin to accumulate money if that is your desire. What do I mean by shift your thinking?

Every product or service bought or sold on the world market has a value that fluctuates based on what consumers are willing to pay for it. As I previously explained, even the value of money which is the marketplaces means of exchange fluctuates. This goes to show that everything is a commodity. Everything has a value, even you. You must now ask yourself a couple of important questions to get yourself in the proper mindset if you want to accumulate money:

What talents or skills do I possess that can be of great value to others?
What talents or skills could I learn that can be of great value to others?
Am I willing to develop my talents and skills to the best of my abilities?
Am I willing to wait until my talents and skills are honed before I put them on display?
Am I willing to put myself out there to demonstrate my talents and skills to the public?
Am I willing to demand that my talents and skills be compensated based on their value in the marketplace?

I hope you are beginning to get the picture. Just like every other product and service in the marketplace has a monetary value, so do you. The question is what do you bring to the table that is of great value to others? Many people don’t realize that they are a commodity or don’t want to acknowledge it. But whether you want to acknowledge that fact or not, we all are, and those of us that realize this early on and take the appropriate steps to develop our talents and skills before our peers tend to accumulate money at a much easier rate than those who don’t realize, refuse to accept this fact, or develop late.

Does this mean that individuals that don’t realize, refuse to accept this fact, or develops themselves late are doomed to simply live a life pursuing money to no avail? Unfortunately, the answer is most likely yes. Just look at the wealth disparity in America, a place where one is afforded the freedom to pursue his/her dreams. The masses have the wrong mindset, because they are chasing money as though it is a tangible asset. One final point on this topic, for those who fall into this category and somehow accumulate money, chances are it will be short lived if you do not realize that you must have some service or talent to contribute that society values if you want to keep the money flowing, because if not, the money will eventually run out with no way of replenishing it. Just look at the numbers of individuals that have obtained riches through the lottery or inheritance only to squander it over time.

What is Wealth?

Unlike money, wealth is not relegated to that of a fluctuating commodity used primarily for the purpose of exchange in the marketplace. Wealth represents an accumulation of any and everything dear to an individual. This can include people that you value, possessions that mean a lot to you, the remembrance of experiences that played a key role in your life, the attainment of a quality education, a high level of self-esteem, good health, happiness, and not to be left out, money (if you value it). A key difference between wealth and money is that the accumulation of wealth implies that the person doing the accumulating has some level of wisdom, self-worth, and maturity, as it is often very difficult to accumulate items of wealth if one does not understand what, why, and how to gather and maintain items he/she values.

Does The Accumulation of Money Equate to Wealth?

We have finally arrived at the overarching question: Does the accumulation of money equate to wealth? Well, after having read up to this point, what do you think? No, as the accumulation of money is only one aspect of wealth, and actually the lesser aspect in my view. Money can really only provide greater power in the marketplace, but if you realize your self-worth (which is what wealth requires), you can accumulate and maintain the money as well as all of the other things that we spoke about in regards to wealth. Remember, money is only one aspect of life and not life itself. You are life itself, and from you everything manifests. Therefore, I would pursue wealth over money any day of the week. A final thought, money without the development of self is hollow, empty, fleeting, while development of self (inside of the realization of one’s worth) breeds wealth for a lifetime.

 

What information should I give to a financial planner?

July 20th, 2010

In this day and age, there are many reasons to be concerned about your personal information. Who you give your information to and what kind of information you give are important factors to consider. Identity theft is rampant, and therefore, your personal information needs to be constantly protected. However, if you want to accomplish certain things or obtain the services of certain organizations, you have to divulge certain amounts of particular information.

The amount and type of financial and personal information that you have to give a financial planner depends on the services and advice that you want to receive from your financial planner. Your social security number is probably one of the most important pieces of personal information that you possess. As such, you should not willingly hand it over unless the need for such is mandatory given the current situation. Sometimes, for tax reasons or for other reasons (such as obtaining a copy of your credit report and your credit scores) your social security number is required. Of course, you do not have to hand over this information. Just know that if you refuse to hand over this information, the services that a financial planner can provide to you may be severely limited.

As I stated, depending on the services that you want a financial planner to perform, you may not have to divulge any personal information. If, for example, you want a financial planner to review your assets and expenses situation, you probably do not have to hand over much personal information (with the exception of your monthly bill amounts and your monthly revenue).

The truth is, regardless of the amount of services that you ask of a financial planner, you are going to have to divulge some amount of personal information. The financial planner has to know what he/she is working with before he/she can help your situation. As such, personal information is required.

The good news is, you should not be too worried about handing over this information to a financial planner. If the financial planner with which you do business works for a reputable firm, you can rest assured that your personal information will be kept in the utmost confidence. This should give you some relief over the fear of identity theft.

No matter what, some information needs to be divulged. Do not worry about handing over public information, such as your name, address, and phone number. However, information of a more personal nature (such as your social security number and financial condition) will be held in confidence. Therefore, do not worry about your information when it is in the hand of a reputable financial planner.

Financial assets: What they are and what they mean to you

July 19th, 2010

A financial asset is anything that carries an implied or actual value and can be converted to cash. While cash is considered the most fundamental financial asset, there are many other examples such as stocks, bonds, gold (or other precious metals), savings accounts, real estate, vehicles, and collectibles. Just about anything that can be sold for currency cash can be considered a financial asset.

One important factor to bear in mind when assessing your financial assets is liquidity. Liquidity refers to the speed at which you can convert your financial assets into cash. Your savings account is a more liquid asset than your house is. Your house would take some time to sell and it would likely be a matter of months before you could turn your house into cash in your hand. The savings account is virtually the same as cash since you could venture to the bank and withdraw the money very quickly, therefore your savings account is considered to be a more liquid asset than your house.

Knowing what financial assets are can help you in assessing your net worth, which is defined as the amount of assets you have, less the liabilities (debt). If you have a house worth $100,000 with a $75,000 mortgage, a checking account containing $500, and a savings account with $1,000, your net worth is $26,500 ($100,000 – $75,000 + $500 +$1,000 = $26,500).

Knowing what your net worth and financial assets are is very important to help you when considering applying for a credit card and when purchasing a home, car, or other large item requiring a loan. Keeping a close account of your financial assets is also vital to help you asses your household budget, savings, and retirement planning needs.

Use Law Of Attraction To Attract More Money

July 19th, 2010
money ... find yours !!!

Did you know that there is more money in this world than ever before? Did you know that more people become millionaires faster than ever before?

But why are so many people burdened down with financial problems. Why are so many people experiencing a lack of money on the other hand? The reason is the Law of attraction. Most people do not know about this universal Law of Attraction. But it is true whatever situation you may find yourself in, is because the way things are working in this universe. You may have attracted debts into your life on an unconscious level. True nobody desires to have money problems – but the way we think about money conscious or unconsciously will bring us the matching results.

So here is how you can start in the right direction by attracting more money into your life.

It is not always necessary to get more employment and work extra hours to have more money. To attract more money into your life starts with the way you think about money.

You may think that you never will be a rich person no matter what, or you may think that rich people must be doing something wrong to get the kind of money they have. Some people think if they just have enough to pay their bills is good enough for them.

Everything in nature however is plentiful. There is enough for everybody to live the life they desire. It is not only there for a few it is whatever you are making out of it. The secret is inside of you. Whatever you are thinking you are creating. This can happen knowingly or unknowingly. Our subconscious mind has been programmed from a very early age on. Many times we are not even aware of the way we think about money. We may have heard phrases like for example: “The root of all evil is the desire of money, or this person is filthy rich, or rich people are crooks, we a re not the Rockefellers” and so on.

It is important therefore first to change the way we are thinking about money in order to attract more into our life.

You can make a list for example and write down all the good things money can do for people. Think how money has helped people after natural disasters to rebuild their homes and lives. How many people are helped everyday because of hospitals that are only possible because there was money to build them. Many children are saved every day because there is money to help. So there are literally thousands of ways to help people because of money. So money does a lot of good in this world.

After finishing your list you can use this list and read over it a few times per week to remember that money is good and it is an exchange for value. There is nothing wrong with having money. Only a person that has can contribute to others.

As you train your mind to change the way you think about money you can use affirmations that are positive and that will help you to attract more money with the Law of Attraction.

Here are just a two examples of what you could say when doing your affirmations:

I love people and I attract money into my life, money is good and I am a money magnet.

You can make your own affirmations that will help you along the way. These affirmations will reprogram you to think differently about money and to increase your awareness of money.

You can also put a money note into a picture frame and put it on your desk. This will aid you in your money focus.

Increase your knowledge about how finances work. Learn more how to make better choices when it comes to spend or save money. All these things will help you to attract more money into your life.

Meditate daily and learn to think and act positive when it comes to finances and money.

Set reasonable goals to attract more money into your life. Ponder over this and get into the feeling of already having reached your money goal and taking full control over your financial future.

Remember the Law of Attraction will respond to feelings and vibrations. Attract the money that you want into your life with the power of your inner self and the Law of Attraction!

Can financial planners sell stocks?

July 16th, 2010

Not only can financial planners sell stocks, they are actually one of the best intermediaries to use in this regard. In the United States things are especially easy in this regard. There are a lot of unaccredited organizations posing as financial planners, but legally there are usually requirements for an organization promoting itself as such, and many of these requirements directly pertain to the selling of stocks. So the answer to this question, in a word, is yes.

There are many countries in which financial planning is completely unregulated. Even in those where it is regulated this can be an uncertain thing as the exact nature of financial planning is left somewhat nebulous and unrefined. Thankfully in the United States there has been legislation enacted that require financial planners to register as investment advisers, regardless of the exact service they offer. These new provisions require a planner within the organization to pass the series 66 Registered Investment Adviser Exam. This ensures that financial planners in this country specialize in stocks by default.

There are financial advisers who do not sell stocks at all but there are many who offer this option and usually these types offer bonds and mutual funds for you to invest in as well. Financial planners are allowed to sell a wide variety of banking and investment services. There are also those planners who usually handle the affairs of one wealthy individual and these are called relationship managers or private investors.

Remember that it is best to stick with planners who work for regulated financial service companies. They will have to meet the legal requirement listed above… and the industry has its own standard accreditation system that denotes the designation “Chartered Financial Planner” which involves completion of an extensive educational program and passing numerous tests. Anyone who does not fit the classifications listed could well be a fraud and following the guidelines listed above is the only way to be sure about the nature of who you are working with.

Even thought the industry is for the most part deregulated the recent legislation mandating that financial planners register as investment advisers to me has really helped define the lines in this industry. Selling stocks should be one of the main thing a financial planner does. If they do not offer this option, they are not legal.

Now imagine doing that on the Internet only this time you won’t be recommending something to a few people. With the power of the Internet, you can recommend products to the entire world, if they have an Internet access that is. With Affiliate Marketing companies pay you for referrals that result in a sale or lead. Joining affiliate programs is one of the “free ways to make easy money” on the net. It’s very easy to get started.

• Paid Surveys – Another easy way to make money from home is filling out Paid Surveys on your computer. I have done this myself so I know it works. The only downfall to this is that you have to have a lot of time to dedicate to this. Some surveys are 20 minutes or longer and will pay you anywhere from $2 to up to $100, although I have never been lucky enough to qualify for a $100 survey. I don’t have a lot of spare time to dedicate to this so I choose to spend most of my time being an Affiliate Marketer, selling on eBay, and creating products to sell. I make more money doing that than filling out Paid Surveys. If you are still interested in making money with Paid Surveys by all means feel free to do so. Just keep in mind the time involved and the fact that you will make money, but you may not make lot of money doing it.

• Stock Photography – One easy way to make money from home is by using your photos. Stock photography is very big right now. Many companies and large corporations need pictures they can use on their website or brochures. They will pay Stock Photography Companies a lot of money for quality photos. Some corporations even create software that

have pictures in it, such as Print Artist, Print Shop, Sierra Utilities and other software programs. Stock photography companies will pay you even more when a company uses your picture in software programs because they have to purchase a special license, which means more money in your pocket. So if you have a digital camera and can take good pictures, visit these Stock Photography websites to get an idea of the kind of pictures they need. This is easy money doing something that doesn’t even seem like work.

• Homemade Videos – Another great way to make money from home is to create interesting home made videos. Do you know how to play the piano? If so, create a video showing people who to play. Piano lessons can be expensive and the instructor has to leave when their time is up. With a video your customers can watch and learn any time they want. You can make Homemade Videos on so many different topics such as; recipes, how to build your own computer, how to cut hair, how to train your dog to do tricks, how to lift weights properly, how to use a certain software program and many more topics. I personally know someone who creates videos showing people how to use a certain software program and he makes a lot of money selling the video tutorials. Put your mind to work and think of something you can create.

There are actually thousands of ways to make money at home working online. I’ve only listed five of the ways I make money. I could have listed more but then I would have written a novel instead of an article.

There’s no doubt about it, the best way to make money from home is to work for yourself using your home computer. You’ve spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a computer so let it pay for itself by putting it to work for you. Why spend your entire life working for someone else, when you could work from home and be your own boss? Making money from home is the new way to earn a living.

I love money, especially when it comes easy. Let me give you a friendly warning though. The ideas I’ve listed on ways to make money are easy, but they do require a little bit of work on your part. Your success is going to be determined by how much you put into each program. Remember, if you pick something you enjoy, it will not seem like work at all.

To Your Success,
