What Do You Mean Free Classes?

This is the last in a four part series designed to explain the ideas behind starting such a unique company and choosing Omaha to call home.

When it comes to finances, most Americans biggest struggle isn’t a lack of ability, but the lack of education to fully understand their situation and the options available to them. I’m sure many of you watch CNBC, read the Wall Street Journal, or frequent another financial news source such as Yahoo & Google finance on a regular basis. These media outlets provide vast amounts of information and it can be very difficult to understand all of the advantages and disadvantages of every idea, theory, or investment vehicle mentions through these channels.

The reality is that education is the foundation of personal financial empowerment. Without the necessary comprehension most feel ill-equipped to make the significant financial decisions we all face today. In order to determine if an investment decision is right for you there are some questions that must first be answered:

• Is this the best course to take in order to reach my financial goals?
• What, if any, are my criteria for making investment decisions?
• What is my current risk tolerance and how will this decision affect it?
• Is this the lowest cost option available or could I save money elsewhere?
• How does this affect my overall financial plan?

These are just a few of the many questions you should answer in order to make the right decision when it comes to your personal finances.
