Here is Wisdom: "Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty." (Proverbs 21:5 TLB)

Most likely, nothing I've shown you so far is new to you.  Everyone knows they should save, but few do.  Statistically, five of six adults have less than $100.000 saved for retirement...and the median annual income for retirees is $16,000; half of which is supplied by Social Security.

Why are people so ill-prepared when it is so easy to become wealthy?

"For you closed your eyes to the facts and did not choose to reverence and trust the Lord.  That is why you must eat the bitter fruit of having it your own way and experience the full terrors of the pathway you have chosen" (Proverbs 1:20 TLB)

We just don't (or won't) listen to wisdom.

If you will just invest a specific amount each month (make systematic investments) into a good sold balanced Mutual Fund, you will be on your way to becoming wealthy and retiring comfortably.  It's called dollar-cost-averaging...a tried and true investment strategy.  It's not the only way, just the simple way.

Before we continue, there are two dangers to be aware of...one, is greed.  There will be times when the market soars and you'll be tempted to hook up with the "winners."  And two, lack of patience.  Where "greed" wants more, "lack of patience" wants it faster.  Either one will destroy all your good work, so be on guard against greed and lack of patience.  Remember the Tortoise and the Hare?  Slow and steady wins the race.

If you want to experience Financial Freedom, God's way: Make systematic investments.
