  5 Secrets Your Bank Doesn’t Want You to Know

Happy Labor Day! We hope you enjoyed the holiday set aside to honor the American worker. You are the backbone of this country, and we salute you as you work hard to provide for your loved ones.

It’s an honor for us to assist you in this most important role, and we take very seriously our mission to help you get the most from your money.

With that in mind, we think it's high time someone exposed the ludicrous ways banks are making profits by eating away at your hard-earned money. And with more banks at risk of failing (10 have now failed this year alone!), many are charging more and higher fees than ever before.

Your money is supposed to be safe at the bank, not shrinking! More than ever, you need to be on your toes. Discover 5 “secret” ways your bank may be taking advantage of you.

  Make Sure You Protect the Fruits of Your Labor

Fresh off the Labor Day holiday, here’s a crucial question for you: How would you and your family fare if you were unable to work?

If you’re like most of us, missing that paycheck would cause significant hardship—especially right now.

It’s something you absolutely must think about because the odds of something happening are a lot higher than you may realize. Nearly one-third of all Americans will suffer a serious disability sometime between the ages of 35 and 65.

Don’t make the mistake too many others make and overlook this important part of your financial well-being. Protect yourself and your family now with disability insurance. Click here to learn about the kinds of disability policies and which one we recommend for you.

  Stock Quotes 101

I (Daria here) never took a finance or economics course or anything close to those subjects in college. I was a Theater Arts major at Webster University!

But when Ken decided to go into the radio business in 1985 (and take a huge pay cut!), I announced that I was going to take his place as the stockbroker in the family.

“Don’t do it!” he said. “It’s a rotten business.”

Well, that may be true, but I took his words as a challenge. And you know what? Even a Theater Arts major can learn about investing.

So can you!

Let’s start with the basics: stock quotes.

Are you confused by all of the jargon? Well you don’t have to be anymore. That’s why Ken and I are here.

Click here for our basic tutorial just to be sure you have it right. Check it out. You might already know more than you’re giving yourself credit for!

Sincerely,
