If there is one message that stands out with all that's going on in this country it is this: The only way to create lasting financial security and erase stress related to money is to depend on yourself. Don’t count on the stock market or money from the government, and especially don’t rely on the advice and guidance from the Financial Services Industry. This industry manages the savings and financial plans of most Americans, but does not know how to create profit for their customers; rather they are trained to successfully market the idea that they do. It’s an industry whose track record has been devastating to the finances of most Americans over the last 10-15 years.

've had 63 years of business experience; 63 years of trial and error since my father set me up with a paper route at the age of 9, telling me he would only pay for the roof over my head and food from then on. He was true to his word and while it was harsh by today’s standards, it sure was effective. That’s when I got serious about making my way and have certainly made my share of errors along the way. What I’ve learned is that the recipe for success is the faithful practice of just four basic ingredients. Achieving success, whether in business or personal finance, is within reach of everyone.

Over the last 22 years I’ve made 4 major forecasts; when to get into the stock market and when to leave; when to invest in real estate and when to get out. Now I’m making another major call: high inflation is coming and it's very important to understand what it will mean to you and what to do about it. High inflation means higher prices, yes, but it has major implications for your current investments and for your financial plans in general, so it’s best to position yourself in preparation for it now rather than getting caught losing big.

Did you see what happened this week on Wall Street? It was quite a story! Last Wednesday, an executive director at Goldman Sachs resigned through an op-ed article in the NY Times. It was really something, the guy just unloaded about the toxic work environment where doing right by clients was not even a topic at sales meetings. The focus was on ripping clients off in a variety of ways including by persuading them to invest in products left on the books that the company was trying to dump. He even shared that he had seen no less than five different managing directors refer to their own clients as “muppets” in emails. It’s shocking and yet somehow it’s also not a surprise, right?

Every year millions of people are taken in by a scam. You’ve heard of some of the most common ones like the Nigerian letter schemes. I’m sure you’ve been exposed to several and hopefully have spotted them right away. Unfortunately they do work often enough to keep them coming and new ones are being invented all the time. The key is to be sure you know how to spot and avoid them no matter the packaging.

Yeah, yeah, I know all too well that money isn’t the ultimate source of true happiness, but I tell you, having financial security and knowing that I’m making smart choices about my money sure do provide a nice warm feeling. Sadly, money has become a huge source of stress for most people and is now the number one cause of divorce, of health problems, and of unhappiness. If this is the case for you, you can change it if you decide to, and I believe you'll find it well worth the effort. Here are three straightforward yet very powerful steps to get you started.
