On the Move

At a very early age, I knew it was important to save money for the future.  In my early 20’s, I made my first investment in a life insurance policy and two mutual funds.  Saving for the future was something that I learned from my Dad.  I used to love watching him write checks for bills, going with him downtown to pay the bills, and going to the bank.  As soon as I got my first paycheck from my part-time job, he took me to the bank to open my own savings account.  Even though his profession was not in finance or banking, and he never said a word about the importance of managing your money well, his meticulous way of managing the family finances made a lasting impression on me.
