5 Ways to Get Rid of Your Money Manager For Good!
I’ve thought long and hard about this, and I’ve decided that you really just don’t need one of those crazy money managers to come in and help you with your finances and do all those other complicated things with weird names like “help you make good spending decisions” or “save for your future”. Thanks but no thanks, Mr. financial jargon! Check out these other 5 rock-solid reasons.
#5: You Don’t Really Need to Think About Your Money.
You’ve heard about this, right? Just put your money in a bank (or even better - in a closet or under the mattress) and the magic, inherent properties of those precious greenbacks will pretty much take care of themselves. You don’t need to move it around, to make it ‘work for you’, or anything like that - just stick with the snail’s pace, incremental gains and you’ll be fine.
#4: Really, Finance is Pretty Darn Easy.
Ah, come on, finance isn’t so complicated, right? Just get some money, wait a bit, and then suddenly — I’m not sure how, but it’s something to do with magic & numbers — you’ve got _more_ money! If there are any additional steps in-between getting the money and the richness thing, I haven’t heard about them.
#3: It Was those Darn Money Managers that Made This Mess!
Forget the investment bankers and those poor, oft-victimized hedge fund managers. Those poor, downtrodden fellows really didn’t have much to do with the recent crisis, which, as any informed observer knows, was entirely caused by conservative-thinking money managers trying to do right by their clients. How do I know this? Oh, I heard it in a bar somewhere, so it’s got to be true, right? Right?!
#2: Recessions? Forever!
Seriously, have you ever heard of a recession actually _finishing_ before? Nah, come on — get serious! Now that we’re in this thing, we’re pretty much in it forever! You had better get used to it, mostly by burying your money under the ground.
#1: Advice Never Got Anyone Anywhere.
People should just listen to their gut instincts more often! I think too many people put a premium on “sober, qualified advice”, and it causes them to be _boring_ and make _boring, responsible, fiscally sound_ decisions — and who really wants those? Nobody! Well, maybe some people. Gee, I’m not so sure anymore.
