While sad, but true, many people in the U.S. will earn over $1
million during their lifetime yet will have nothing to show for
their efforts at retirement. Obviously the time to plan for the
future is now, because no one wants to take a severe pay-cut when
they retire.
One
way to get an investment program going is to add one more debt to
your stack of bills each month. Begin by writing a check to your
savings account, or add a little money regularly to a money market
fund.
Another way is through your trade exchange. As a trade exchange
member, you can utilize the many investor services (for personal and
professional use) of the accountants, attorneys, financial
consultants, bookkeeping and tax services, estate planners, real
estate brokers and others whenever you are building your wealth.
Then, by using your products or services as a medium of exchange,
begin acquiring some of the investment opportunities available on
barter � such as:
-
Antiques
-
Artwork
-
Coins
-
Real estate
-
Collectibles
-
�144� stock (explain
this)
In
order to make the most of your investment funds you will want to be
conservative in the choices you make, so that you have a solid
growth potential.
