Personal Finances and Productivity
There is an inverse relationship between time spent on personal finances and both productivity and investment returns. Have your cake and eat it too! Most everyone has heard that people spent a lot of time at work goofing around. The number one time killer to no ones surprise is technology. Time wasted surfing the Internet, etc. But the number two time killer in the workplace is a surprise to most and that is the time employees spend on their personal finances.

***PERSONAL FINANCES and INVESTING: You can do it for yourself!
Handling your personal finances and investing is not near as difficult as you have been led to believe. From simple investing to saving for college to debt reduction to retirement planning, it appears as if everyone is outsourcing these personal financial matters and is paying dearly for it. It does not need to be that way. I was a stockbroker / financial advisor for many many years and one of the most difficult issues I faced was not convincing people what they needed to do but was convincing myself that I was actually providing something of value for the large fees that I took!

***The Perfect Investment
The perfect investment is the investment you can sleep with. The perfect investment is that which provides the most return and the most sleep is most likely not the investment providing the highest return. Far too many investors have taken on far too much risk and of course, that only shows during tough economic and market conditions. The rule of thumb is your age as a percentage in fixed income (bonds, preferred stocks, CD's) and the balance in equities.

***The Difference Between Gambling and Investing
There is a fine line between gambling and investing which many people cross sometimes with the help of their financial guy. A study not too long ago showed that the majority of those buying individual stocks lose money. I'd be willing to bet that a large percentage of those crossed the line. Bottom line is that the odds are set against you as a gambler. That's why casinos have no clocks, pump in oxygen, its all to keep you gambling because eventually, the odds which are stacked against you will take over.
