After such a glut of bad financial news, it’s encouraging to see a glimmer of good news now and then. It’s also great to read encouraging tales of how people are battling their way towards financial goals: saving and investing more, differentiating wants from needs, sticking to their trading plan and goals. Every little step we take adds up, people!
I thought I’d share a few energizing financial reads I came across lately:
Your Money Relationship recently shared 5 Motivational Tips to Start Saving Today. I love the first one: “Visualize the prize”. Exactly! The best way to stick to saving is focusing, not on the temporary privations, but on the many long-term positives it brings.
From Homeless to Homeowner is a highly compelling read I found through Tipd.com. In it, the writer – who was orphaned at 17 with a small inheritance, but not very much – battled his way back to a solid financial present thanks to some good habits and insights that he shares in this post.
Last but not least: if you want inspiration, check out the TradeKing Leaderboard! Every day investors and traders just like you share their performance stats and trades. Not only can you sneak a peek at their trades, feel free to message any one of our clients directly to ask about their investing secrets, or ask them to write a public TK TradeNote so we can all learn something from them. That’s exactly what the Leaderboard – and our Trader Network – was built for!
