An “activist” is someone, who, seeing a need for change or improvement, becomes involved in promoting that change or improvement.

I suppose that makes me an activist, of sorts.

More than thirty years ago my heart hatched a dream. I wanted to travel a path that would help me to become financially independent. But I did not stay the course. I did not continue to search, research, act and follow through.

So here I am. One of the typical statistics of the general population of the nation. I have virtually no savings and very little put away into a retirement vehicle.

But it is not too late. It is never too late. And I am still determined to make a better future for myself. The difference is, I have actually begun. I have a plan for my future success and my future prosperity.

We have a “term” life insurance policy in place to cover our immediate needs if we died, and we have opened some tax advantaged retirement programs.

My current job has had a retirement program available for a long time. They offer to put in 2% of my gross pay check if I will put in 3% of the same pay check.

Think of it.

If I contribute $150, the company adds $100. Then I have it invested in a mutual fund with a track record of about 10%. At the end of the year, using simple numbers for illustration, I will have put away $1800, the company will have added $1200, and the interest would have contributed about $300. We have a total of $3300. The return on my investment of $1800 has been over 83%!! Would you like an 83% return? Check into it. Ask about employer matching funds investments for retirement.

We are also putting into place a Roth IRA, a short-term savings plan, and a long-term savings plan. These are all in mutual funds, where we can not only get the greatest growth, but have access to our savings, when needed, as well.

Take matters into your own hands. Make your own choices for a better future. You are fighting the war on poverty terror, and financial freedom isn’t free.

You must choose to pay the price. A few dollars today will grow to secure peace of mind tomorrow. But you must make that choice to begin right away. Compound interest works it’s best magic when given the most time to perform.

Purchase “term” insurance to cover your current potential needs now, then invest in mutual funds to control and secure your future.

Do not risk becoming one of the faceless casualties of financial unprepared ness. The real risk is in doing nothing at all.

A devastating risk.
