DOWNTOWN PORTLAND

Today is Saturday and my schedule is a little different.  A few weeks ago, I attended a "Get Motivated" meeting in the Rose Garden with about 20,000 others.  From that, I signed up for two courses to help set my retirement one day.  This past Monday and Tuesday, I learn about stocks and how to read stock charts while at the downtown Hilton all day.  Yesterday, and today, I am at the Portland Convention Center, where I am learning about properties and other investments.  My means are small, so I must see growth faster than what mutual funds will allow.  I believe that every Christian should be looking to build for their retirement.  Start today and set money aside that can grow.  There are many ways to accomplish it, but you need to study it out.  Many years ago, I got out of Social Security.  That means the only retirement I will ever have is what I invest myself, or a little the church may be able to give me.  Not much, but I intend to help it grow for the next 15 years for sure.  You do what you can too.  Start today!  I will see you tomorrow.
