But I said something about paying your debts. And you know, no matter what you say, it's misunderstood by many.

ECCLESIASTES 4:4 Ecclesiastes 4:4 (NIV) And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Success 3

28. 5 Ways to Ruin Your Retirement As much as we would like to blame the stock market for the shortcomings in our nest eggs, the truth is that our own choices also impact our retirement savings.

EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY 82 Now, both those anointed prophets standing there, 400 against one, that looked pretty strong. Now, in the multitude of counsel it's not always safety. Depends on... what they're counseling about, what their counsel is. There wasn't safety there for the king, and he took that multitude for their counseling to be right. But if he had just stopped and turned back the scroll and look what Elijah had just said. 65-0801 Success 3

30. WHY.I'M.AGAINST.ORGANIZED.RELIGION 41 (Korah, Num. 16:1), if you'd like to read, Korah tried the very same thing.

And so they tried to get an organization started together, and they come up before Moses and Aaron, who God had chosen for the work, and told them they took too much upon themselves, that the whole congregation was holy… "In the multitude of counsel there's safety," of course, they say. That doesn't apply to Christianity. That's in war. Notice, a whole lots of difference. 62-1111E Success 3

31. 1. You Wait Too Long To Start Investing: When it comes to investing, you can’t make up for lost time. That’s why you should invest early, no matter how small the amount, to take advantage of compound interest. For example, a $2,000 lump sum invested when you’re 30 years old can grow to $72,000 by the time you’re 60… Success 3

32. 1. You Wait Too Long To Start Investing: When it comes to investing, you can’t make up for lost time. That’s why you should invest early, no matter how small the amount, to take advantage of compound interest. For example, a $2,000 lump sum invested when you’re 30 years old can grow to $72,000 by the time you’re 60. But that same $2,000 investment will be worth $237,000 if you invest it 10 years sooner. That’s the power of compound interest! Success 3

33. 2. You Don’t Invest Enough For Retirement Most people consider saving for retirement as a main goal for most people, but they want to split their disposable cash between paying off their home, saving for a child’s college fund, etc. Multitasking with your money is fine, as long as you first invest 15% of your income for retirement. Why? A paid-for home won’t help you cover your expenses in retirement. Neither will a paid-for college tuition. Success 3

34. 3. You Don’t Invest For Retirement At All A recent survey by Deloitte Center for Financial Services found that nearly 60% of pre-retirees don’t have a retirement plan, and 20% expect to live on their Social Security benefits alone in retirement. The average monthly benefit from Social Security is only $1,230, so it’s clear that any savings are better than no savings. No matter how far behind you think you are, make a plan. Success 3

35. 4. You Cash Out Or Take A Loan Against Your Retirement Savings Roth IRAs and 401(k)s allow you to withdraw or borrow funds under certain circumstances. But doing so will not only lower your balance, you’ll miss out on that money’s growth potential. You could also be subject to taxes and penalties. Pay off your debt and build an emergency fund before you start investing, and use that cushion to pay for unexpected expenses. Keep your retirement fund for retirement only! Success 3

36. 5. You Invest On Your Own Many investors believe they will save money by handling their retirement investing on their own. But do-it-yourself investors rarely have the time or the expertise to find the best funds or understand the market cycles that are part of stock market investing. As a result, they are more likely to reduce their returns by investing when prices are high and cashing out when prices fall. Success 3
