What you are proposing thru your "fast slick rich" website is probably the worst thing that could be recommended to anyone looking for growth of their money. Why doesn't the website you recommend mention that the first 2-5 years of their invested money actually goes to the cash value insurance agent that is selling that product to the client? If you have to borrow money from someone then really that money isn't yours. The wealthy have no need for life insurance since they have enough cash to be self-insured. Invest in the market and cut out the middle man (aka cash value life insurance agent). Ask Suze Orman and/or Dave Ramsey what they think about cash value life insurance!

What does it say about a nation whose largest employer over the past decade is the likes of Walmart? I remember back in the day (before we went into the bush's) GM, and Ford were the main masters of the American worker. #1 and 2 in employment, good paying jobs..... All I know is we are left with one guy that says save Detroit and the auto industry, the other guy says let it go bankrupt and let you go to work for Walmart. Which one will you pick? Make note history is ALWAYS recording.

As long as immigrants continue to come and people continue to have sex, satisfying the needs of the people who are overpopulating our USA and other countries, is a sure sale, either someone besides billionaires will furnish the masses with needed products or someone who doesn't have enough money will fill the void left by the, already satisfied rich who don't want to work anymore, because they are set for life. Find a product which some of the rich got rich from, such as paper towels and other similar products with a short life or different product with a perishable life. Use your imagination and join the competition, If the Billionaires hate you enough, they will buy you out to keep you from making them look bad. Start from scratch in your home or garage, keep the cost down until you feel you have a real thing, then go balls to the walls with borrowed money, maybe even go public with public stocks. ONE NEVER KNOWS, DOES ONE?

From the article: "Don't get distracted by the bells and whistles offered by dozens of specialized ETFs. With just $1,000, you should stick to low-cost ETFs with rock-bottom expense ratios. This ensures you don't erode your nest egg with costly fees paid to a manager with fancy cars and expensive suits."

While it always makes good sense to pay attention to fees, saving "$100 per year" and other sage advice like this is why people are broke. It is not because of evil investment managers "with fancy cars and expensive suits". Don't use your "advice" article to wage an attack on Wall Street and promote class warfare. Do you even see the disconnect between advising someone how to get started with investing and attacking investment managers in the same breath? Disgusting. Straight from the Obama playbook, but what else should I expect from a liberal hack journalist?
