Investing wisely is critical
Making decisions about how to invest your assets
is a very critical part of planning for your future.
- If you want to know more about investment
decisions or how much money you will need for
retirement, one of the more helpful planning
tools available is the Ballpark
Estimate Site from the American Savings
Education Council.
- The American
Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has
practical guidelines on hiring a financial
planner or broker.
- The Minnesota
Department of Commerce, which licenses
investment advisors and securities agents, also
has some do's and don't when hiring an
investment advisor or securities agent.
- If you want to know about the basics of
investing, the Alliance
for Investor Education provides information
about investing, investments and the financial
markets among current and prospective investors
of all ages.
- If you already know the basics of investing,
the American
Association of Individual Investors (AAII)
is an independent, not-for-profit organization
formed for the purpose of assisting individuals
in becoming effective managers of their own
assets through programs of education,
information, and research.
- The University of Minnesota
Extension Service has brochures on
retirement and investing.
They are available on the internet for free or
