Diva Blog Debut!!!!


Well Hello!

The Diva Blog has been LAUNCHED, and I am so thrilled!

Before we get started in our ‘blogging’ discussion about life and money I thought I would just outline what I see in this Blog. By stating what I see in the Blog, I hope to inspire everyone to read, participate, comment and learn about many different financial areas.

I see the Diva Blog as being a light-hearted, non-intimidating way of receiving tips and advice, being able to vent about some of the common financial stresses we all face in everyday life. From the ever-rising gas prices to affording designer clothing (like the lovely ladies of Sex and the City, seen below), to vacationing, to having kids and more! We all want to live life to the fullest and we all feel financial stress at some point or another! – So why not become involved in the Diva Blog and discuss all of these topics with others who are feeling the same way!

Please feel free, all, to offer advice, techniques and tactics that have worked for you as well as share your stories about different situations you have found yourself in. From happy to sad, to stressful and cheerful – we want it all! Please request topics if there is something you would like feedback on, and lastly, please participate!!! This Blog is for you!

I see BIG things here, its takes a village to raise a ….. you know the story ;)

Happy Blogging!

“Don’t Take Advice From Broke People” TM

About 39 percent of investors decide not to use a financial advisor – not a smart money move. The financial industry is not just complicated; it can be extremely confusing and has many layers.

Don’t panic. You don’t have to be an expert in the many nuances of the financial world, but you do stand a better chance of achieving your goals with the right financial professional helping guide you. Finding that right professional means doing some homework.

Start by checking credentials. Federal or state securities laws require brokers, investment advisors and financial firms to be licensed or registered. Investment advisors who manage $25 million or more in client assets much register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). If they manage less than $25 million, they must register with the state securities agency in the state where they do business.

This information is public, usually only a phone call or Internet search away, but it’s up to you to find it and use it to protect your investment dollars.

To find out whether a financial advisor is properly registered, ask to see the registration form, called the “Form ADV.” With a little research of registration forms and federal and state sites, an investor can learn about the advisor’s services, fees and investment strategies. State and federal Web sites also provide information about the advisor’s business and whether they’ve had problems with regulators or clients. Always ask for and carefully read the ADV before hiring an investment advisor. You should also check SEC and state resources for other information that may influence your decision.
