Order Saturday Everyday
Saturday Everyday is the product of 5 years of work and numerous interviews with clients over the last 16 years. This book is a simple, educational, and inspiring book that could quickly help you begin living your best financial life. Through 9 principles organized as chapters, readers will be able to quickly grasp the fundamentals to start experiencing the freedom and power the lessons provide. I believe a strong financial foundation can help you live your best life and I am excited to share it with you.
Learn the 9 Principles
Where should you start if you want to start living your best financial life? How about Principle One: More Money Coming In than Going Out. You may be eager to start investing and growing your money because—let’s face it—that’s the fun part of personal finance. However, if you have not confirmed you’re spending less than you are making and you’ve saved an adequate emergency fund, then you are simply not ready to start investing; you may be doing more harm than good to your long-term financial future.
All investing involves risk including loss of principal. No Strategy, including asset allocation, assures success or protects against loss.
How do you define your Saturday?
What do you think of when you think of Saturday mornings? For me, it was always an opportunity to wake up extra early and enjoy the sense of freedom it provided. I think of taking a drive and listening to the radio and those certain songs that always remind me of Saturdays. Saturdays were an escape from school, work, and the have to tasks and instead provided the opportunity to do my own agenda. The excitement of waking up and wanting to capture the day and not letting it slip away. I wanted to pack in and plan activities and live life to the fullest. Saturdays provided that opportunity! Having more Saturdays sounds great and having Saturday be every day is a really great description of what retirement can be, and should be, where you wake up energized and excited to pursue your passions instead of working for the necessity of earning a paycheck but instead doing what you want to do every day.
