Time to Get Your Lazy Cash Off the Couch

OK, you know how I feel about your lazy cash sitting on its butt on your couch all day long. It’s time to get it up and moving. Time to get it working for you. Because summer’s over and chances are your cash is doing the same thing today as it was on the Fourth of July. Nothing. Not good. Don’t let inertia beat you down. This is your house.

But how do you get your cash working when it doesn’t listen to you? Easy. Remember, I’m Your Survival Guy not your “let’s throw some money at this and see how it plays out” guy. Your cash is as precious as ever, even though it drives you nuts sometimes.

A client emails: “Survival Guy: I just found fifteen thousand slackers sitting around on the couch, watching TV and doing nothing.  I am sending them to you. Put them to work full time with no days off and no vacation. Hope all is well.”

If you recall, an investing newsletter, written for the discerning, conservative investor such as yourself, was delivered to your door once a month. It was delivered by your not-so-lazy mailman. You opened Richard C. Young’s Intelligence Report before you closed the front door, oftentimes reading it while standing in your foyer. “What’s Dick recommending this month?” you wondered.

Action Line: Well you know there’s a job to be had for your lazy cash. You don’t have to be greedy to be successful. You just have to keep on keepin’ on—go to work every day—and before you know it, all your cash is marching to the silent beat of compound interest. Let’s talk.
