401k - FORTY YEARS LATER

Compassion International I am often asked whether I tried to patent my unique 401k interpretation. The answer is, "Yes," but I was told that was not possible. I assume I would have received some type of royalty, otherwise, which ultimately would be paid by participants. If you have benefitted from 401k as a participant or are one of the many professionals engaged in the 401k business, you can express your thanks to me by contributing to Compassion International (Cl). You do this by supporting a child each month. Cl has been working tirelessly to improve the lives of children across the developing world since 1962. Their efforts have helped lift more than two million children out of poverty. Your gift of $45 per month can empower a child to overcome poverty and achieve his/her dreams. You can also support Cl by making a one-time gift or periodic gifts to one or more special projects. These include the following: - water and Sanitation -providing the essential basics of life - health and Nutrition -Defending a child's healthy future - youth Development -Unlocking a person's potential - survival -Securing a child's opportunity at life Go to www.compassion.org to learn more. On a side note, you are already supporting these projects if you bought a copy of this book because 50% of the net proceeds are contributed to these projects; however, please do not let that fact stop you from doing more. Cl is a great organization. More than 80% of all revenue goes to meeting these special needs. I have known one former board member and one current board member for many years.
