The Obama Proof Investment

As the economy continues to barely survive on life support, it seems like there are more and more calls for nationalized government programs. For example, in the spring of 2009 President Obama proposed a 2010 takeover of 401ks and the implementation of nationalized pension plans.

No matter what your politics are, losing the investments that you put into your 401K is no walk in the park. This proposed change to the national budget is just another example of the turbulent times we live in. There is a lot of change on the horizon which may be difficult for some people to accept. Just as the forefathers of this nation faced a lot of uncertainty, many people think that our nation is facing the same type of crisis.

It makes sense to look back to the forefathers’ wisdom when facing these uncertain times. Ben Franklin, the great statesmen and founder of the nation, would have one piece of advice to those who are worried that Obama will take away independent 401Ks:

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

If you are concerned about your investments, start investing in a place where the government can’t take it away. Education is the most powerful investment that you can make. Whether you are just starting out in your career or are facing retirement, you can make an investment in your own mind that will last a lifetime.

Education goes well beyond formal schooling. If you think that having a Master’s degree or PhD is what you need to make an investment in your mind, think again. Take Benjamin Franklin for example. He was well schooled in a variety of different subjects and always challenged himself to learn more. You should do the same.

Take it upon yourself to become more educated on subjects that interest you. Learn the secrets of managing money wisely from experts. Teach yourself how to cook your favorite meals at home. Become well versed in literary classics. Whatever you choose, your time will be well spent because you’ll be enriching your life and creating more wealth of experience for yourself and those around you.

One of the best ways to increase your education and create a sense of financial freedom is to invest in learning about owning your own business. Learning the skills you need to own your own business and taking steps toward creating a supplemental or full time income for yourself is one of the best investments of your time and money. Although you can definitely spend your time learning about anything that you want, you will be well rewarded from learning from others who have taken steps to develop a small business. To top it off, learning how to run a small business can set you on the path to financial freedom, which will further protect your investments and your financial well being.

To learn, simply model your success after others. Find experts in the field that you want to explore and begin learning from their successes and mistakes. In no time at all, you’ll be an expert at what you do.  And as Benjamin Franklin said “If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.”
