[rear cover blurb:]
Are you tired of living from paycheck to paycheck? Are you interested in finan-
cial independence and the freedom that goes with it? If you are, the time to get
started is right now, especially since this system involves no significant seed
money or start-up costs.
PAY YOURSELF FIRST shows you don't have to be loaded with money to
begin this program.
Financial advisor Michael Hayes gives the new investor a systematic, realistic,
time-tested plan for accumulating $20,000 or more by investing as little as $3 a
day in the right place at the right time. Starting with the basics of financial
planning, Hayes explores the risks and rewards of popular investment media and
concludes that the investor of moderate means has only one real alternative--the
stock market. He then develops the details of a workable approach for accumu-
lating the first $20,000, protecting it, and making it compound fast by carefully
timed trading in high-volatility, no-load mutual funds.
What you'll get includes:
* an analysis of traditional approaches to common stock investment;
* details of an improved method of deciding the crucial times to buy and
sell;
* a step-by-step program for turning $1,000 into $30,000 with monthly
investments of only $100.
