Power-Saving to Wealth.
Money - the Foundation for Investment:
Learning to Save for Investment and other Objectives

Is it easy for you to save? Let's really be honest, have you been saving at a satisfactory pace? Unless you want to engage in self-deceit, you will acknowledge that saving is a tough, difficult action to take. If it wasn't, most people would be multimillionaires. The reason is that a lot of money has passed through so many pockets that may not be very deep today. Money is a fluid thing, always wanting to be in motion, changing hands. We all love to see money change hands too. Okay, may be not. But we love to see money deliver things to us: goods, services, family needs, adoration by others, their gratitude, security, presitige, joy, fun, you name it. Problem is: there is hardly ever enough to meet these desires which, most times, are very strong. Most times, very pressing. Most times extremely urgent and can't wait. Invariably, saving doesn't stand much chance. These other interests crowd it out, choke it off the agenda, to a corner where it's not seen or remembered. If you think seriously about it, you possibly aren't to blame for not being able to save in the face of immediate, pressing needs. Right?

Maybe not exactly. It could be tough, but some people learn to cope, somehow. Some master the management of resources, such that they are able to face those same pressing demands on their income and still save and invest to the point that they finally become truly wealthy and more able to meet their spending needs. Unfortunately, if you don't save, you can't invest and if you don't invest, life's going to be tough, down the road. Is there a way to it? Are there strategies that are learnable? Wouldn't it be great to build financial power and really be in a position to confront these needs with ease (once and for all), than live in endless wrestling with financial troubles? Must one struggle through life as destiny or is it within one's powers to organise his finances in a way that eventually makes life more liveable? We won't pretend any of these is an easy question or that there is a short-cut to financial success. The good news, though, is that there is proof, in results already achieved by others, that individuals can take control and shape their lives. It is possible to achieve relative financial comfort, by learning and applying success principles also perfected by man. So, won't it be a tragedy for you to live with proven solutions to a challenge and still get drowned in it, unable to grab handy life-savers? Our desire is that you learn, if you need to, and get to live better, in control of your financial trajectory. Hopefully, you want to, too.
