Where do you want to be in five years?

Today you are probably struggling along the path of “being an adult.” It seems more complicated than it did in the past, doesn’t it?

I don’t write personal finance blogs to help people become really wealthy. I write to point out that no matter who you are there is more than hope.

You can grow savings and you can eventually grow wealth. If you share your desire to learn how to save more and grow your savings and investing, you will help your children live a life with more options.

In five years, you could reduce and eliminate your debt and grow your savings until you have what we’ve identified as the proper emergency savings fund for 2010: 15 to 18 months of expenses in money market savings and certificates of deposit.

Imagine if you had that kind of savings right now. Would you live your life differently? We thought so.

Here’s the problem: Big business and government have worked together – either on purpose or by luck – to change our society from one that focuses on CASH IS KING to one that reads CREDIT IS KING.

If you’ve read our e-book “How To Survive Any Financial Crisis,” you know we believe that only cash is king. We show you how to get your money working for you. While we wouldn’t recommend doing things to destroy your credit score, we think making your credit score the center piece of your family financial life is WRONG.

You must set a different course for you and your family. And you can. We live in the age of the internet. You can and should use it to learn ways to save more. You can and should use the internet to boost your knowledge about how to get started REALLY saving and growing your money set aside for BUILDING YOUR WEALTH.

Use this as an opportunity to teach your children, too. They will grow as you do. They will see your example and it will make their life RICHER. Richer does not mean fat cat rich in this case – it means taking care of your family in the future. That is worth doing.

Plan the comeback of your life. Start today. Develop your own plan for boosting your regular savings with every paycheck.

HELPING YOUR KIDS GET AHEAD

In this country we don’t do enough to teach our children about money, managing money, saving regularly (and automatically), compound interest and steady investing for a long-term future. As a parent, we are always concerned that they get a good education and go to a good college so they can make a lot of money or have a valued career path. The truth is that we could do our children the biggest favor and one of the best things by sharing with them sound saving and investing principles.

You can join our free Facebook group (or have your children do it, too) by searching in the Facebook bar on your “wall” for “Live The Lifestyle Your Family Deserves.” Click on “become a fan.” It’s free and it ties our free blogs into that group.

If you want to give your children the same information we are giving ours, you can purchase the only thing we sell on any of our blogs or groups. It’s called “How To Survive Any Financial Crisis” and you can get it for only $4.95 at www.middleclassmoney.com.

Thank you for reading our blog and good luck!
