Reasons for Investing

Many of us have our own reasons for wanting to invest and save our money. I seek early retirement. I have realized long ago that my dreams do not include working in a job where I have to wait for my paycheck. I have accepted this as my nature and I ask that you don't judge. But I am sure many of you would like to retire early and perhaps work at or enjoy something that, at the moment, seems like too much of a luxury.

Our current level of saving may just allow my family and I to live our dream. It takes discipline and the ability to forgo some things that we, and mostly I miss. The ends justify the means.

I invite you to share your ideas and insight into your goals. We currently have different active portfolios, each created for different needs. One for retirement, one for children's education and one for short term needs. The market will always experience down periods. However, it has always beaten any savings account.

Please pass on any and all investment ideas. Share your thoughts and please remember that the key to investing is patience.

Thank you
