The first important concept for you to accept is that compound interest from your bank is for suckers. Compound earnings from your investments will make you rich. Got that? Okay, lets move on.
Lets begin with why you need more money.

You want to get out of debt, You want no more money worries, You want nice things, You want to help your family and others, You dont want to work every day for the rest of your life. We all should agree with these reasons for having more money.

What is keeping you from having all the money that you need?

The cost of living is too high, you have too many bills to pay, your job doesnt pay enough, theres nothing left over to save and invest. If you agreed with these reasons why you dont have enough money, you have to change your thinking right now. Really.

There are three important things that you need to do right now:

1. protect your current investments, if any

2. open a mutual fund account, and begin contributing to it

3. get your spending under control

Protecting your current investments
If you have a 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plan at work, instruct your benefits department to move everything into a mid-cap index fund (if offered), otherwise split everything evenly between an S&P 500 fund and whatever type of mid-cap fund is offered.

If you currently own any mutual funds, they have probably lost money this past year. If they are not in an IRA, sell them now and take a tax deduction (let the IRS cover part of your loss) and take all the money and put it into a mid-cap index fund.

If you have a brokerage account, either a full-service or online account, sell all of your losers and put the money into your winners. Then tell your broker that you want to place a stop loss sell order at 7% under the current price.

Open a mutual fund account and begin contributing to it every month. It doesnt matter if you dont have any money, some will even get you started with $0.00!

Get your spending under control right now. If you dont get serious about this, you are not just throwing away the extra money that you needlessly spend, but the huge amount that this money will grow to if properly invested. This is the only way that you will get out of debt and get rid of your money worries, forever.

There are many, many ways that we can invest in the world. We live in a phenomenal time in human history when there are literally thousands of investment vehicles available to us. Many of them are confusing and hard to understand.

We want to get back to some of the basic investment strategies that have been proven over time, location, and destination to work again and again for many people who may not be spending 100 percent of their time trying to understand investing.p>

The secret to investment success is the consistent application of time-proven strategies, not the use of complex, hard-to-understand investment vehicles created by investment bankers out to take your money!

When most of us invest, we do not have the leisure of spending 24 hours investing and doing nothing else. But we still have to have investing strategies that work.

If you look at the world as a whole, most people make their money by doing what?

They do it by working.

They have a job and earn money.

But even if you are working for a living, you still need to invest that money to grow it, because if you want to master wealth, you need to be able to create, grow, and protect your wealth.

The mastery of wealth requires you to create, grow, and protect your wealth.

Investment is the primary means of growing your wealth.

Investment is the primary means of expanding your wealth!

Through investment, you are going to turn your money into something bigger than it was before.
