Don Diva Financial: Moves To Make With Your Inheritance

A. Alternatives to the stock market can create solid gains if done right .  Why would you need an alternate option? Many working Americans do not invest their money because their scared to lose or they don’t understand the market. Other options exist that can make your money work for you so that you can retire early.

Buying a guaranteed return savings and retirement account is great as a strategic short term investment. Depending on your goals it can also gain interest and act as life insurance policy. A couple of  weeks ago the global stock market experienced record lows, while some of my clients lost nothing and a few even gained up to 3% on their retirement accounts.

Another alternative to playing the market is making an investment in yourself, think about it, your important and you matter! Investing in your talents, skills or dreams can be risky but can lead to great personal and financial reward.  At the age of 21 I made the decision to invest in myself. I started a real estate acquisition company and a community development non-profit, a few years later, I began a financial consulting firm and an insurance brokerage agency. Today, I am living my dream; I get to affect positive change by educating the community on the stuff they don’t teach in schools.
