There IS light at the end of the tunnel

It is some time since I wrote my last blog.  However, I think in the current financial climate it is a good idea to start again.   With so many changes happening, almost daily, in the financial markets and the potential affect on investors and tax implications in Italy and the rest of the world, this blog is a good way to keep clients, potential clients and those who have an interest, updated. 

The idea behind my posts is to inform and amuse you, whilst focusing on that fact that we all need to plan carefully for the future.  I believe that there has never been a more important period, economically speaking, to pay careful attention to ourselves, our families and those around us.  I think that a share of useful information that we can use to improve our financial futures is an important asset and one that should be shared willingly.

However, despite all of the negative and confusing messages that we hear in the media and from people around us, I have a overriding belief that this crisis (2011) will be resolved and the good times will roll again.  Only for us to roll headlong back into another crisis.  This is human nature and can be traced back hundreds of years.  The questions is why don't we learn from the past?  

One of my favourite quotes is from Einstein:

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result each time". 

History shows that the emotions we face when making important individual and family monetary decisions, coax us into doing the same thing and making the same mistakes again and again.  There are no secrets, there are no miracle cures or get rich quick schemes to ensure a secure financial future.  It is good old simple logic.  Save, invest wisely and be patient.  

My blog is designed with that focus in mind.

If you have never read any of my material before, I hope you enjoy it and even find it useful.
