If you're like a lot of people living in the U.S. today, you probably haven't saved nearly as much as you can or should at this point in your life. Whatever the reason may be -- and there are plenty of reasons or excuses -- saving money is a discipline that too many of us have ignored, forgotten, or never learned. Overall, the working population in our country has recently been experiencing a negative annual savings rate. A negative savings rate simply means we are spending more money than we earn, and we're borrowing the money to make up for the shortfall. The U.S. economy has long been known and admired as one of the greatest consumer economies in the world. We are privileged to live in "the land of opportunity." But we have also become accustomed to believing that opportunity is somethi

When we go shopping for something, whatever it may be, we can expect to pay more for higher quality. And as Americans, we are privileged to live in a country that offers the best health care in the world. On the other hand, everyone knows the cost of health care has become inordinately high. Disagreement only exists with respect to how to fix the problem. There's an old saying: "The only thing we can really be sure of is death and taxes." But these days, worrying about health insurance and uninsured medical costs is enough to make us all sick, and some of us are paying more for protecting our health and managing our health care costs than we pay in taxes. We must first realize that responsibility for the rapidly increasing health care costs begins at home. Do you have employer-provided hea

By Rich Henderson Many people aim to reach their dreams of becoming wealthy to be financially secured and to be able to retire from their jobs with comfort. However these dreams are hard to achieve for most people. The reason is because of the factors that affect financial planning which usually results from money mishandling situations. Let’s go over these factors and see for yourself if these factors contribute to your poor financial planning.Having a mortgage that last for yearsIf you’re trying to find out where all your money had gone throughout the years you better have a look at your mortgage if you have any. Millions of Americans take more than 15 or 30 years to pay their home mortgage and they often end up paying more than the actual price of the mortgage by the end of the term. It is not practical to choose a long term mortgage payment scheme because the longer you take to pay your mortgage the more you have to pay. If you’re going to assess the large sums of money that
If the future always went according to plan, financial planning would be a one-time exercise. But life throws a few curves now and then.
We all have dreams! For buying a new car, that dream house, getting their children married in style, or simply retiring early. All these are also significant financial decisions. Astute long-term planning may make life financially secure, while inadequate or misguided planning could turn it awry. The process of meeting your life's goals, through prudent management of finances is what is often referred to as `financial planning'.
Financial planning provides direction and meaning to your financial decisions. It allows you to understand how each financial decision can affect other areas of your finances. For example, buying a particular investment product might delay your retirement significantly. By viewing each financial decision as part of a whole, you can consider its short- and long-term effects on your life goals. You can also adapt more eas

I call it The One-TenFirst things first, this plan isn't designed to make you a Daddy Warbucks in like five days, but it's what I have devised around my lifestyle and it will net me a hefty chunk of Scrooge McDuck Vault Filler (aka: cash) by the time I'm 59.5 years old, the legal age in which you can withdraw your 401k without penalty.401k's or Roth IRA'a are a stroke of genius due to the joy of compounding interest. Not having one is complete lunacy. Anyone with a half-way decent income who starts saving in their mid twenties will clear 1 million + by the time they reach an age where retiremen is an option.Not too long ago when I realized that money is one of those necessary evils I came to understand how important savings was in the grand scheme of life. That said, you should have full faith in a savings plan such as a income tax sheltered IRA or your company's 401k plan. I have so much faith that I'm trying to contribute three to four times what the Motley Fool chart below is

If you have just been licensed by the Securities Commission to practise financial planning and are currently at the crossroads as to what to do next in terms of starting a practice, you might just want to Give Ken Lo, the chief executive officer of Money Concepts Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. a call.

Malaysian financial planning practitioners have been debating and experimenting with different business models since financial planning came to our shores. But to date, they have yet to find a model that truly works. The perennial argument of commission-only, fee-only or a combination of commission and fee models has created only one thing so far - confusion ill the marketplace - both to the practitioners as well as potential clients. There is a general feeling in the industry that water (in this c
