Life is a Risky Proposition

All parts of life involve risk. We all take risks with our travels, our relationships, our health, our purchase decisions and our investments, among others. Recent history has proven to be an especially risky time in the world of finance and investing. Despite these risks, we all turn to our inherent values or attitudes and move forward in life. My personal experience, education, struggles, training and common sense has taught me a bit about how to quantify these risks and deal with them in a sensible way. I have decided to begin publishing this blog in order to share some of my "sage" ideas and advice in the world of investments, financial planning, taxes and various other practicalities.
