Edward Jones: Let Your Money Work for You

Have you ever watched a little kid climb a tree or fly a kite? They put everything they have into "being" in the moment. Don't you miss that? Now you probably spend a good deal of your time thinking about money. How to get more of it. How to hang on to what you already have. And while you are worrying, little significant things like taking walks with your kids or reading to your grandchildren are passing right by. You're not really living while you are worrying, at least not in a good way, not in the moment. You know you need to plan for your future, someday.

It's always "someday".

Someday your child will go off to a University to become the person she is meant to be. You will reach an age where you can finally travel to places without regard to how "kid friendly" they are. You'll read more books, go to the theatre more often and be able to relax. All of your working years are leading up to more space and time and in the back of your mind you are still thinking about money.

Doug Turner of Edward Jones wants you to take a walk with your kids, go see a movie or read a good book. He doesn't want you to worry about finances. That is what a good financial planner can do, he can help you devise a clear investment plan, one that will minimize risk and maximize results. "One of my biggest strengths is that I am genuinely concerned about my client's goals. It's essential to take the time to understand their financial goals and use my expertise to allow them to meet their goals," says Doug.
