Investing Ahead: Eight Essentials For Achieving Financial Security

by Thomas J. Curran

Overview

Financial Security Is Closer Than You Think

These days, between taxes and consumption, many people have nothing left to invest. Tom Curran will show you that it doesn't have to be that way, and he will advise you on how to change that. That means not just financial strategies but emotional intelligence because if spending and saving money were simply logical matters, most people would have plenty. Regardless of how smart or logical you are, when it comes to making decisions, emotion is the great neutralizer.

With Investing Ahead, Curran has spelled out the eight investment essentials that have made him—and his clients—wealthy. Tom's named these essentials "Curranisms," and you can start using these Curranisms now and watch your investment future change. He'll show you how to change the way you look at money—even a dollar bill—by looking at its future worth, not in terms of the value it currently holds.

Curran draws upon his vast personal resource of knowledge and experience that he has accumulated over more than fifty years advising clients and managing money. He will show you where Wall Street has gone wrong and how you can do right. Most of all, he will show you how, by using his eight essentials, you can start investing ahead for a secure financial future.

Editorial Reviews

"I have known Tom Curran for more than forty years. Not only is he successful, he is a proponent of advising folks in easy-to-understand language. Mr. Curran does a marvelous job pointing out the journey one takes when securing their financial security. He recounts personal experience and thoughtfully illustrates with clear anecdotes to show that choices made early in life may rob us of our future security. His writing is fluid using points and rules throughout. This should be a ‘must-read' for persons who want to be in charge of their investments."
—Peter E. Bulger, adjunct professor of finance, former securities regulator, and executive associated with several investment firms

"Being a serial entrepreneur and investor in hundreds of young companies over the past forty years, I have been dedicated to the mission of ‘Economic Freedom for Everyone.' Over the same period of time, from the world of finance, Tom Curran has been dedicated to the same mission. Through this book, he provides an actionable prospective to a far greater audience than either of us are able to reach individually. If everyone read this book and internalized the fundamental concepts, their quality of life would be substantially improved."
—Michael D. Marvin,chairman emeritus, MapInfo; chairman, American Universityin Bulgaria; board member of other young companies and not-for-profits; and a client of Tom Curran for thirty-five years

"I am a retired physician. During the nearly forty years that I have been a Curran client, Tom has taught me the stock market investing methodology and discipline necessary for me to become well off financially, be in a position to help my family, and be able to enjoy a secure retirement. Tom's new book, Investing Ahead: Eight Essentials for Achieving Financial Security, is an eminently readable, practical, and useful guide. It recalls the many conversations that I have had with Tom over the years and includes some insightful ways of thinking about savings and spending—about the future value of money, as Tom puts it. Investing Ahead reflects Tom's good character and rare investment expertise, attributes which underpin a terrific read."
—Jim Schnur, MD,former assistant professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School; staff radiologist, Banner-UniversityMedical Center; and a client of Tom Curran for thirty-nine years

"Tom Curran has been my financial advisor for the last thirty years. Many colleagues of mine have retained and released five or six financial advisors over the same time frame. I have never felt compelled to make a change for the simple reason that I have done well with Tom's advice. I commend Tom for writing this book so that he can share with a larger audience his knowledge and they may appreciate his straightforward method to creating wealth. Tom's approach is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Rather, it provides straightforward guiding principles that are easily understood. A common response from my professional friends and colleagues when we discuss finances is that financial concepts are complicated, difficult to understand, and are best left to their financial advisors or accountants. The approaches outlined in Tom's book are easily understood and can be implemented with minimal effort in partnership with one's own financial advisor or on their own. This book is a must-read for individuals starting out in their careers. If they follow Tom's advice, they will be assured a retirement without financial concerns."
—Aubrey M. Palestrant, MD,FSIR, fellow, American Heart Institute; client of Tom Curran for thirty years
