“Show me the money!” Jerry McGuire, 1996

Much of the advertising and promotion of financial products and services by the Behemoths focuses on non-money  issues: dreams, plans, transaction costs, tracking tools, advisor relationships – everything except money. The reality of your financial life, however, is affected by money, first and foremost. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, and any other investments are not money; you can’t spend them and you can lose some or all of the money you tie up in them.

You might wonder why the Behemoths spend millions of dollars on advertising what they want and don’t focus their advertising and promotions on your money. Well, it’s because they want you to give your money to them. They want you to focus on what’s in their best interest not on what is in your best interest. That’s free enterprise and there is nothing wrong with it. Problems arise only when we, as individuals and families, fail to recognize that all those millions are spent to lift your money from your wallet and deposit it into the coffers of the Behemoths.

What if there was a way to beat that system? What if you could gain control of all of the money that flows through your life? There is. Over the next several posts I will be using famous movie quotes to highlight situations that Americans of all economic and social backgrounds experience and to give specific guidance to those who find themselves in those situations.

I’m not suggesting that you can’t succeed financially by investing. Many already have. What you’ll learn from these posts is that there is a way to invest that manages the risk inherent in giving your money over to the Behemoths. The aim of each of the scenarios we present is to demonstrate how you can keep control of more of your money and build a foundation and framework for your personal economy that will last…in good times and bad.
