Have you decided that You are best to take care of Your money?

If you have decided to track your own portfolio, you understand that the more middlemen are in between you and your investments the SLOWER you will reach your goal. If you have gotten this far you don't need a financial advisor, life coach, money manager, financial planner or etc. Anyway, half of them have less knowledge and money than you and should not be offering advice.

You need knowledge and wisdom. You need good information.

The are 3 things you need most on you journey to become financially free. 1. Automation 2. Measurement and 3 Encouragement. This site will help you make sure they are simple, fun and encouraging. Saving for you and your family should not feel like a rout canal. You really don't need more than that. You will find links here to help you get through the practical side of things as well. But they are no as important as the following.

1. AUTOMATION

Hopefully you have heard the concept, "Pay yourself first!" Or better expressed, "A part of all you earn is yours to keep." from the timeless book on basic personal finance. link to amazon "Richest man in Babylon." A more modern version of this concept is "automatic millionaire by David Bach.

Why is this concept so important? Well is is important and super interesting here is why... Studies have shown that people who resolve to 'budget' each more and put money in their savings and investing account usually only do it the month after they resolve. Yes, more of us stop saving and investing when we forget to budget. We don't do it on purpose it is use a lack of reflection in this crazy busy world we live it. That is why the average retiree has less than $10,000 saved at retirement. It is why most people could not even afford an emergency of $1000. We all do it.

Here is the good part. Studies show that those who pay themselves first and just set up auto deposit or something, even if it is much smaller than the 'budgeters', tend to save a much greater amount. Let that be you. Pay yourself first. Don't pay anything before you set something aside for you and those who depend on you. After all, you are going to be out of money at the end of the month anyway. Might as well have something to so for it, right? Good.

2. MEASUREMENT

This is where the Amazing Stock Tracker comes in.

Dear Friend,

My name is Paul and I developed this Stock and Dividend Tracker for myself. After I became convinced that self directed investing was the fastest way to fincial freedom for my family I soon discovered a total lack of good places to keep track of my investments. At first I started buying and subscribing to other Stock asset trackers and services. I entered my info and tried to organize it in a usefull way but all of them had issues. I found that they were all either way to expensive or to complex and confusing and usually a lot of both. Others were inaccuarate ispecailly for Canadians. Yahoo Finance was complicated and after I eventually figured it all out, I found it did not capture my portfolio properly.

At that point I realized I would have to keep track myself. I truly didn't want to do it but I could not find something simple and useful. So I designed my own over a period of months and tool the best parts from other trackers that I had purchases and researched to compliment mine one. It was originally desired for private use and I called 'The Amazing $tonk Tracker for Encouragement'. Because I understood that being able to see you sacrifice of saving was an integral part of investing. When others saw it they asked for a copy and said I should share it because it is so simple and useful. So I fixed some bugs and began offering it here on this page.

How the Amazing Stock Tracker is Different

• It is not designed to keep track of details that don't encourage you like when you bought etc. You bank or broker already does that. It is designed to ENCOURAGE you on your journey to finical freedom and to much info can do the opposite.

• It focuses on showing grow and buy opportunities.

• It doesn't have a month fee

• It works everywhere with every device

• It uses software and security that you already know. Google Drive and Sheets

• It is fully automated. You just enter the ticker symbol and your amount of shares

• It actually works with Canadian Stock. I know eh? (And comes with a video just for Canadian stock entry)

• Fully customizable. When you buy it, it is yours and you can adjust and tailor it to your needs. Other stock trackers put in special links that expire if you don't pay a monthly fee. Then the formulas stop working.
