Here are some of his thoughts and advice on money:
- You should spend less than you make. This might require a budget.
- You should establish and maintain an emergency fund. Ideally, at least a few months’ worth in cold-hard cash. (We have this and maintain this.)
- You should make savings for investment purposes automatic.
- You should invest a good portion of your savings for long-term growth; as in equities.
- Once invested, you should keep your investing fees as low as possible for as long as possible. Avoid trading.
- You should diversify your investments across companies, countries, and world economies.
- You should obtain adequate life and disability insurance for the “what ifs” in life to protect against a catastrophic financial loss.
- You should continue to educate yourself; continuous improvement will keep your mind growing and active.
- Money doesn’t mean much if you don’t have your health. You should do what you can to stay healthy. Health is always the ultimate form of wealth.
