This one hour seminar provides tips for financial success and addresses the time value of money. How can you not AFFORD to make the time to learn some personal financial strategies!!! This 50 minute seminar on personal financial management looks at the time value of money, target savings rates, possible investment strategies, the reward for investing early and the penalty for delaying investing for retirement, the penalty of credit card debt and some other tips for achieving financial independence (having enough money that you do not have to work if you choose not to work). An eye opening example is if you begin at age 22 putting away $1,200 per year and getting an average of 10% return for 50 years, you will have $1.397M at age 72. If you wait 10 years and begin at age 32 putting away $1,200 per year for only 40 years, you will have $531k. If you wait 20 years and begin at age 42 putting away $1,200 per year for 30 years, you will have $197k at age 72. How do you get an average of 10% return on your money? Come to the seminar and see. This seminar is part of the “Building a Better Life, Concrete Steps for Success” Seminar Series (www.buildingabetterlife.net).
