Mark Ford (fka Michael Masterson) is a wonderful writer who might have a shady past, or not. I don’t know and I really don’t care because his articles are usually excellent. His latest one is about fear.
I do think fear holds us back in order to keep us safe. However, many times it holds us back from going forward.
Aunty invests. Is it scary? You betcha. But I would do it again and again because it is what will bring us wealth in the long term and when Uncle and I are old(er) and grey(er) we will look back and pat ourselves on the back.
Anywho, here is “Making Friends with Your Financial Fears.” Read, enjoy, conquer.
Mahalo for a great article Aunty!
For what it’s worth, I don’t think Mark (Michael?) 🙂 is too shady– on the contrary, he seems like he’s got his head squarely on his shoulders and the businesses that I know that he’s been involved in (Early to Rise, Palm Beach Letter) are businesses that honestly try to help people by providing sound and reasonable advice (and not hype-y marketing or “just take your subscribers’ money no matter what!”).
I love what he says about fear– my thoughts exactly! 🙂
Thanks so much,
Susan
KFG, I defer to your expertise on Mark/Michael Ford/Masterson – and must agree that he does give excellent advice – and isn’t always asking for money the way many of the other newsletter gurus do.
I subscribe (paid subscriptions) to several newsletters, and his is one of the best. Your KungFuFinance.com website is also one of the best, it is awesome – and free!
Mahalo for dropping in!
