This year, I'm happy to announce that Wealth...Uncomplicated will be changing formats ever so slightly and focusing more on content that is centered on the principles and processes that lead to a more secure financial life. Throughout 2010, you will find posts designed to illuminate the guiding principles of sound personal financial planning and management as well as some very practical processes to help you stay on target. Of course, the big bonus is that once you have the right processes in place, it become incredibly simple to accumulate wealth...systematically.
Case Studies
While the blogosphere and financial media is littered with short articles that discuss various aspects of personal finance, there is little in the way of detailed case studies that allow readers to understand the full range of complexities involved with planning and managing money. The case studies presented on Wealth..Uncomplicated will illustrate common situations and the best ways to work through them. These situations will be varied, but primarily focus on issues faced by individuals and families between the ages of 18 and 45.
Technology
In analyzing these cases and examining possible courses of action, a variety of technologies will be used and recommended to help you address your individual situation. Most of these tools are readily available to you at little or no cost, while a few of them are considerably more expensive and traditionally available only to financial professionals. By exposing you to both consumer and professional driven technologies, you'll be able to see the full range of technologies that can be used to help you plan and manage your finances.
Processes that Work
While technology is useful in revealing the numbers of a situation, it is also incredibly useful in helping us establish processes that work. This ranges from creating or examining your current financial position to developing workable investment strategies that can help you reach savings goals. In addition, some emerging technologies can help you automate many of these processes, improving the likelihood of accomplishing your goals.
Timeless Principles
Underpinning all of this are a series of timeless principles that are literally as old as civilization. While personal finances as we know them today are incredibly varied and complex, the cure for what ails us is usually something simple and easy to understand. These timeless principles drive the financial planning and management process and without them, financial misery can result.
Final Notes
If you would like to be the subject in one of the upcoming case studies, please feel free to send an overview of your situation and your most pressing questions and concerns to me via email on the 'About' page. All names and locations are changed to protect the identity of the subject and the case study is completed at no cost.
