It's not too late

Saturday during fall is college football. Now, I'm not a huge fan, but occasionally I will see a game. Today there were two such games where the favorites were leading their perspective games, lost the lead in the 3rd quarter, but came back to win in the 4th quarter. Michigan was facing their in-state arch rival Michigan State who hadn't beaten them in 5 years, and Ohio State facing Wisconsin. What made the favorites, who both lost momentum in the game, re-find their winning edge? It's the drive of a champion, the will to overcome, the never say die attitude.

Well, the same perspective applies to the posts this week. Despite negative trends against the US dollar and inflation peering from around the corner, there are many routes to find a winning edge financially. Whether you are entering the first quarter of your life or the last quarter, it's not too late to change your direction and find a way to win.

Next week I will begin to lay out some options for those looking for answers. There are many financial vehicles. You have to first know what you like and need - a sports car when you are 75 may not be appropriate. Like wise, a horse drawn carriage with an old horse, may not get you to your far away destination.

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it,
when it is in your power to act.

Do not say to your neighbor,
"Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow"—
when you now have it with you. Proverbs 3:27,28
