Such people are easy targets for advertisers, whose seductive marketing campaigns tell us that we must have a bigger home, a better car, and brand-name clothes. No cash? No problem\u2014buy on credit! For many, the goal is to look well-off even if they are deep in debt.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, sooner or later reality sets in. \u201cBuying flashy consumer goods on credit in order to look and feel like a winner is similar to hitting the crack pipe in order to improve your mood,\u201d says the book The Narcissism Epidemic. \u201cBoth are initially cheap and work really well\u2014but only for a very short period of time. In the long term both leave you penniless and depressed.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you stressing about those networking profits you proudly poured into stocks and mutual funds, only to see them dwindle below their original stellar numbers? Finance professor Hersh Shefrin provides a few suggestions in part when considering financial investments:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep away from overconfidence. Positive thinking and belief in yourself are great; don\u2019t make decisions as if you\u2019re immunized against the consequences.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t dwell on regrets. Learn, accept the consequences, and move on with your life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be disciplined about your investing. If you coach yourself to choose your investments calmly, you stand a better chance of giving your brain time to engage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t gamble with your investments; do your homework, and invest wisely. There is more to life than money and the things it can buy.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The greedy and those who want something for nothing are prime targets for online thieves. The bait may include big money for minimal work, a loan or credit card even though you may have a poor credit rating, or large returns on \u201clow-risk\u201d investments. \u201cTake your time in evaluating the legitimacy of any investment offer,\u201d says the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). \u201cThe higher the promised return, the higher the risk. Don\u2019t let a promoter pressure you into committing to an investment before you are certain it\u2019s legitimate.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you believe that you can sense dishonesty in the person you are speaking with? Be careful! Swindlers are called con, or confidence, artists because they know how to win the confidence of others. They are skilled at making their victims trust them. Sellers, both honest and dishonest, know that before you can sell a product, you have to sell yourself. Of course, this does not mean that you should mistrust everyone, but a healthy degree of suspicion is important in defending yourself from fraud. Rather than try to discern a person\u2019s integrity by trusting your instincts, watch for two telltale signs that characterize many frauds: First, does an offer appear too good to be true, and second, is the seller trying to rush you into making a decision?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deal only with reputable businesses and people. There are many legitimate companies with whom you can safely do business over the phone or on the Internet. If possible, check out the salesperson, the company, and the investment through some independent agency. Ask for information about the investment, and read it carefully to make sure that it is legitimate. Do not be rushed or pressured into making a quick decision.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good health to you!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will You Have Regrets?
