I should have named this post, “The Reason None of Us are Rich.” That would have been more appropriate because how many of us have the wherewithal to accumulate the first 100k of play (or investment) money? Not many. I can’t count how many friends I’ve attempted to guide toward investing income, only to wallow in disappointment years later after learning that their initial enthusiasm has waned into the abyss of nothingness. It’s a shame, really. Such a shame and I’ll tell you why below.

In today’s post, I’d like to discuss a very simple topic. The topic is investing. The topic many financial advisors would lead you to believe is incredibly difficult to wrap your head around. Of course, if you’ve got loads of money and many options for living and retiring, things can quickly become complicated, but if you’re a regular middle class guy or gal and you’d like to live a bit easier in your later years (45+) and not have to work until you’re 80, you may want to continue reading. The entire thing is very straightforward. It’s a favorite subject of mine, this investing is, but trying to get people to listen to me is a chore unto itself. It’s probably for this reason I chose to write this post. Maybe, just maybe, someone will read it.
