A Guide to Financial Freedom

ericmilton

Good evening!  We have gotten quite a few new visitors to the blog recently, and I wanted to welcome you all.  I hope that this blog inspires you to begin investing.  I truly believe that investing in the stock market is the key that opens the door to financial freedom.

In addition to my posts here, I have written a short, simple guide to investing basics that is specifically geared toward regular Joes and Janes who wish to become wealthy but have never thought investment was for them.

Titled THE STOCK MARKET IS FOR EVERYONE, my book walks you through what a stock is, how to decide what stock to buy, the mechanics of how your money grows in the stock market, and more – all in 24 easy-to-read pages.

You can purchase the e-book for $3.99 here, and the paperback for $9.99 here. After you read it, your comments, questions and suggestions are more than welcome!

Here’s to your wealth!

 

My book, The Stock Market is For Everyone, is a short guide for the beginning, inexperienced investor that is easy to understand and can be put into action immediately.

It Goes By Fast…Life, That Is!

Like anything else in life, the younger you start, the better off you will be in the long run. Tiger Woods could putt at the age of 3.  Warren Buffett started investing at age 11.  My cousin Sonny, at 5, knew he wanted to be a doctor; he went on to become a very successful surgeon.

There’s a huge advantage to starting early; however many of us don’t.  It doesn’t mean we’re doomed. We do eventually have to get started, though; it’s better late than never.

Case in point: Today I met a gentleman in need of employment. He was looking for security guard training, to be more specific.  Without my probing, he revealed to me that he is 66 years old and receives $1300 per month in Social Security, and nothing else.

I couldn’t help but think how much this man could have accumulated had he invested in the stock market over the last 50 years.

The problem is that no one is taught the importance of investing for the long term.

The only reason I learned was through the huge mistakes I’ve made that I chronicle in my book, The Stock Market is for Everyone, available here as a download and here in paperback format.

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: We are in one of the most exciting times in history with regards to investing! 

Please, if you haven’t gotten started, do so immediately!

If you don’t know how, then buy my book and learn how to get started.  If you still need help after purchasing the book, then reach out to me.

If you’d like to share your experience as a beginning investor in the comments section, I’d love to read it!
