When you are considering asset management think about what it
takes to learn the field before you attempt it yourself.
What I mean by asset management is more complex than just
balancing your check book (although that is part of it).

I mean your entire financial assessment of worth , not just the money in
the bank but the money that is tied up in your home,
stocks, bonds and retirement accounts, everything that you
can have or will have.

This is a field for professionals to work in not amateurs.
You would not go to your neighbor Dave and have him look
at your trick knee (unless he was a doctor) and you would
not go to see your in-laws and inquire of them to diagnose car
trouble (unless they are mechanics).

But every day somebody goes to his neighbor or to their in-
laws and asks them for financial advice.

Financial advice about things like asset management is a
complex field that takes months of study to learn. There are
many self-help programs on the internet and on TV that
encourage you to learn a simple user friendly system to make
millions.

Well this is a flat out lie. If a simple easy system could
teach you to handle your funds and make millions we would
have far more millionaires than we do. In fact only those
folks that didnt have a computer would be poor. Dont be
taken in by the advertisements that you get in your e mail
or that you see on late night TV.

Asset management may be learned but you absolutely need to pay
attention to what you are doing and not give in to brain friendly
fads or get rich quick schemes. When you are considering
what funds you positive need to send your kids to college, go on
that dream vacation or retire to the Caribbean with you are
really considering your future.

Nobody desire anything less for themselves than their
dreams. If you put your dreams in the hands of
professionals you are far more likely to realize them than
if you allow Dave from down the block to set your goals.
