Like the disclaimer says at the bottom of our site, we’re not “Certified Financial Analysts”. We’re normal people just like you! We realized that the “Financial Advisors” in banks are nothing more than sale reps dressed in suits trying to push financial products. Their knowledge and expertise are only limited to what their bank can offer you.
They are not looking out for your best interest… or your life saving’s best interest. If the stock market looks like its going to crash, your not gonna get a call from your bank telling you to sell everything and stay in cash (or hard assets like gold and silver). If you take out your money, they loose money so its not in their best interest. This is why we do what we do. The only person that will look after YOUR MONEY with 100% care and concern is you.
Like we said earlier, we were once in that same position. The only difference now is that we are a few years ahead of the game. The goal of this site is to help those who are just starting out and hopefully guide them in the right direction while avoiding the bumps in the road we experienced along the way. Below is a collection of resources we’ve either read and/or subscribed to which may be a good place for you to start.
