Speaker shares principals of wealth
with Perry Exchange Club members
By Torey Jolley
Home Journal State
David financial
consultant for Merrill
Lynch, and Perry Fire
Hhlpf Ci»rv Hamlin
addressed members of the
Exchange Club of Perry
Sept. 9.
Du Bose explained the
seven principles of wealth.
The first, DußOse said, was
to invest early'. Toil should
always save at least 10
percent pretax. After pay
ing the savings account
first, you arrange the
household bills. You
always pay the savings
first.”
Secondly, Dußose said,
investors should “stay
invested.” The biggest mis
take investors make,
according to Dußose, is
panicking and withdrawing
their investments.
Third, mutual funds are
the best option for most
investors. Fourth principle
is assets allocation
where best to place your
investment. This leads to
the fifth principle of invest
ing systematically and
unemotionally.
Dußose said the sixth
principle is to hire a good
financial consultant. “The
number of people choosing
their own investments and
succeeding, is relatively
small in reality.”
The seventh principle is
to plan for success.
Dußose noted, "Visualiz
ing your future and plan
ning for success is a very
important part of prepar
ing."

“When you buy a Pierce,
you are buying the Cadillac
of fire trucks. The quality,
service, and warranty
makes it the best,” said
Hamlin, adding “And when
you are looking at using it
for at least 20 years, that
matters."
Hamlin said the next
truck the department
hopes to purchase will be a
“rescue pumper."
Hamlin reminded the

your smoke alarms."
