Unique High Interest Savings Accounts Few Know About
Interest rates have barely lifted from ground level and are already headed lower. In the U.S. short-term interest rates are at least positive. My EU and Japanese readers are not so lucky, facing negative rates.
Low interest rates are bad enough, but watching your bank balance decline is a downright nightmare for savers. If you are close to or in retirement this can cause great financial harm.
Because rates are likely to stay at these low level for the foreseeable future and there are many safe alternatives paying more, I will publish a special report each month highlighting one of these short-term, money market-like investments. Every effort will be made to address opportunities available to as many readers across the planet as possible.
A Critical Review of the FIRE Community
Pointing out the emperor has no clothes is a sure way to lose your card-carrying status within a community. The alternative is to deny the truth and be part of the problem. If I’m out, I’m out. At least I was honest.
This brings us to the scariest part of the movement no one wants to talk about: phalanstery.
Motivational Goals
The word goal has taken on dreaded status. Over the decades I’ve attended several informational and motivational seminars. Whenever the topic of goals comes up, heads duck. It shouldn’t be that way.
I think people dread goals because they feel obligated once they are on paper. There is also some fear of stating your goals because they entail your deepest desires.
The thing is, goals should change. Not every goal deserves consideration. It would be nice to skydive. Sure it would. But after careful consideration other goals might interest you more. More family time might be the goal you wish to pursue instead and the rewards (in your mind) might be better than falling from 10,000 feet.
