Understanding Your Money

Inspiration on Financial Advisory and Money Matters

• "How did he know?"
• "How could he have known?"

Though it is true that Phil majored and degreed in accounting, at Santa Clara University, he also studied, and maintained above-average achievement in economics and business management. Taught by graduates of, and a professor of, Stanford University's MBA program, Phil learned valuable insight into the foundation of economics and fiscal policy.

But aside all that... isn't it similar to what Mom and Grandma used to teach?

• "A penny saved is a penny earned."
• "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
• "Don't spend more than you make!"
• "Money does not buy happiness... but it can sure be fun, when you have lots of it!"

Changing Attitudes about Money!

Money is not the root of all evil!

Money, or the lack thereof, does not make a person good or bad. A person is the way he or she is, already. Putting money, or the lack thereof, into the equation, just makes the true character of the person more transparent!

So, really, what compelled Phil, a California CPA (since 1980) and Utah CPA (since 2007), to advise clients, beginning in 1995, regarding the coming economic slowdown, approaching the year 2010?

What did Phil learn from a Stanford University think-tank team, in 1995? What model did he embrace, in 1996, from an article in the San Jose Mecury News?

More importantly, what does Phil foresee, now, in terms of the future economic climate?

Question: If what you always believed to be true, turned out to be not true, how soon would you want to know?

Unfortunately, it seems, many get sold a whole life insurance policy (rather than a term life insurance policy), just because the commission to the life insurance agent is larger!

Eighty five years of historical results, does not guarantee like results in the future, especially in this new, global economy. This new era introduces a whole new game, and we need brand new strategies!
