How to Feel GOOD about Saving Money and Creating Wealth. Read to find out

Recently, we discussed why people are afraid of money, now we will discuss how to feel good about saving money and creating wealth. 

First of all, to feel good about money, you must realize you are its master!   You control what money does and can do - very few realize this.  Money often controls the person and their beliefs what they can and can not do, but not you, not any more.

Saving and Investing is a habit, and as most know, good habits are hard to start.  Example:  Exercise and eating healthy are hard to start, but become routine and enjoyable once a habit, same with saving and investing.



Here's 3 tips to start the good habit of saving and controlling your $$ which will make you feel good:

1) Pay yourself first.  Invest at least 10% of whatever income you make.  If you make $100 per paycheck, invest $10, if you make $5000, invest $500 and so on. Do this on payday or better yet, have it come off you paycheck directly and treat this as a retirement fund.
2)  Invest in yourself.  Take another 10% and find something you are good at, and become great at it!  Take courses, go to conferences, practice.  This is the secret to success, happiness and wealth!
3) If you are bold and want to take it to the next level, take another 10% and give it back to the community.  Charities, fund raisers, food banks.  Givers get!  This also makes your money the "root of all good" 

The other 70% goes towards living expenses and no guilt restaurant meals, dates, vacations!
To feel even better about saving and investing, you have the ability to invest in Social Responsible Investments.  More details about SRI's next time!

6 Ways to Invest for Your Children's Success! (There's more than RESPs)

Image
Congratulations!!!  Welcome to parenthood!   Everyone reacts differently to this phase of life.  We were shocked by how much unconditional love we had for our children when they entered the world – who else would you throw yourself in front of a bus for?  When Rowen, our first born arrived, we unwisely threw $10K into a scholarship RESP out of pure emotion.  5 years later that $10K is now $9373 due to fees and charges.  I’m writing this article so you don’t make the same mistakes we made, and to ensure you that there are several ways to save for your child’s success, even if post-secondary school is not in the cards.  If you are lucky enough to have $10k, there's a better way to invest than we did, but even $50 - $100/month can make a HUGE difference!! Option #1 – RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan) – Growth Plan Pros:   Government matches 20%, 30% or 40% and investment can take advantage of compound growth. Catch : Grant can only be used for post-secondary edu
