Right on the Money
Financial Advice for Hard Times

by Pat Robertson

     

Pat Robertson, TV minister, politician, and former CEO, brings us some timely financial advice to help us survive and even prosper in tough times. To begin with, you must figure out how much is enough. Are you like millionaire Dale Carnegie who, when asked that question, reportedly answered, "Just a little bit more?" Some people are quite happy with a modest income. They just want to meet their family's basic needs with some gravy and a nestegg for their retirement. Others wouldn't be satisfied with all the wealth in the universe. They always have to have "just a little bit more."

How do we achieve that kind of financial security? Robertson says, and I agree, that what you have is directly related to what you're willing to give. Begin with the tithe. Add other contributions as you are able. One thing is certain. You can't outgive God.

Next, invest your money so it can go to work for you. There are many ways to do this without relying on the standard savings account. These options include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, precious metals and annuities. The choices you make depend on how much risk you're willing to accept. The true gambler will actively play the stock market. If that is too risky for your blood, mutual funds are safer. All should be backed up with gold. It will always have value, especially in tough times.

I found this book very enlightening. It was well-written in terms anyone can understand. All the options are carefully and clearly explained. Everything is covered, from buying a house to buying gold. He even explains 401 K accounts and IRAs. His ideas are both common sense and Biblical. Prayer before making any move will help you make the right decisions for yourself and your family. Read or listen to Right on the Money and see for yourself.
