Bad things happen to good people. Hurricane Harvey is a perfect example of this. People didn't plan on this happening—and that's why you have to be financially prepared in advance.

The 'Rule of 72' is a simplified way to determine how long an investment will take to double, given a fixed annual rate of interest. By dividing 72 by the annual rate of return, you can know how many years it will take for your investment to double. The rule of 72 with compound interest was great back when interest rates were higher. If you gave 100K to Bank of America today, it would take 72 year...

Stocks, franchises, REITs, bonds, IRA's, 401K's—these are all places where people make investments with their dollars.
