Any adult over the past 10 years or so has watched their investments go up and down like a yo-yo, as the fat cats on Wall Street play Monopoly with our money and our mortgages.

It dawned on my a couple years ago that there’s very little to invest in these days without the very real prospects of watching it drop in value, remain the same, or needing to withdraw it and having to pay an insane penalty. Whether it’s a mutual fund, a company stock, a house mortgage or any other bank investment, there’s a certain amount of risk involved.
