Cache Valley Area Investors Association Provide Free Investment Education
LOGAN, Utah— Free education on financial investing is now being offered to everyone through the Cache Valley Area Investors Association. “I am tired of people hating their jobs and being frustrated with their live.” President Preston Parker said, “There are so many opportunities out there if people just knew where to look and how to do it, and that is why I started the association.”
Parker saw a great lack in financial education and wanted to provide that, he said that education is what reduces the risk of investments. Parker said, "It is sad that we leave high school knowing what an ameba is, but we don't know how to balance a checkbook."
CVAIA is organized to teach people that there is a way to become financially independent by increasing one’s passive income. A group of about 15 to 20 people between the ages of 20 and 50 years old meet every other week to discuss what types of investments have and have not worked for them. Parker leads the discussion and brings in different financial experts to aid in the education process. Parker said, “It is not so much a change of actions, but rather a change of attitude. We try to get people to think about money and investments in a different way.” Despite the short amount of time that Cache Valley Area Investors Association has been going they have already seen some great success.
Parker feels so confident in the power of education and what they have been teaching that he said that someone with established, good credit could be a millionaire in five years, if that was their goal. However, Parker emphasizes the fact that money does not equal happiness, but when you develop passive income, or income that comes in whether you go to work or not, you can afford to have any job that you enjoy, and it is that peace of mind and enjoyment of one's work that can help bring increased happiness.
Parker started the association in August 2007. Parker said, “Education is empowering, it is education that will get people to stop having to work for their money, but rather have their money work for them.”
The association meets every other Thursday night at 7 p.m. in the Cache Valley Chamber of Commerce at 160 N. Main St. Logan, Utah. Parker invites anyone to come or e-mail him at cahcevaia@gmail.com to receive more information.
