World Financial Group is committed to
helping people make informed choices
toward overcoming today’s challenges of:
Staggering consumer debt
– In 2008, studies show that as fewer Americans
were able to tap into their home equity, more
of them turned to high interest credit cards to
make ends meet. According to the U.S. Federal
Reserve, total credit card debt in America
reached $951.7 billion in 2008- up 8.2% from
the year before- the highest amount ever
recorded.4

11. Poor savings habits
– A survey prepared for the U.S.
National Foundation for Credit
Counseling indicates while many
Americans have spent less in 2009,
due in large part to the economic
downturn, that does not mean that
they are saving more. Nearly a third of
Americans have no savings outside
retirement plans and one-third have
not saved anything for retirement in
past year.5

Alarming lack of education
about financial fundamentals
– Only 42% of Americans surveyed by the National
Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) pay close
attention to where their money goes average at
best and only a few had attempted to enhance
their understanding of how to manage their
money.6
– The NFCC’s survey also found that less than a
third of Americans know their credit scores. And
although one free credit report is made available
to them each year, 64% of Americans had not
ordered their credit reports in the past year.6

Living dangerously above one’s
means
– U.S. non-business bankruptcy filings for the
12-month period ending June 30, 2009
totaled more than 1.2 million nationwide,
an increase of 34% from the same time last
year.7 The sharp rise has been attributed
to a heavy consumer debt load made
worse by the home mortgage crisis.

14. Our Passion:
Insufficient insurance protection
– Many U.S. households continue to be
underinsured with one third of
American adults carrying no life
insurance at all.8
– Only 41% of adult Americans have
individual life insurance. Many rely on
insurance provided by their employers,
leaving many employees without
coverage if they were to lose or change
their jobs.9

16. Financial Concepts
Develop a clear picture of where you want to go.
Set Goals.
Design a program to outpace inflation and reduce taxation.
• Put the Rule of 7211 to Work for You
• You can determine what kind of savings plan works best for you and your
budget by using The Rule of 72 – dividing 72 by the interest rate to estimate
the number of years it takes for your money to double.
11All figures are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect an actual investment in any product. They do not reflect the performance risks, expenses or charges associated with any actual investment.
Past performance is not an indication of future performances. The Rule of 72 is a mathematical concept that approximates the number of years it would take to double the principal at a constant rate of
return. The performance of investments fluctuates over time, and as a result, the actual time it will take an investment to double in value cannot be predicted with any certainty. Additionally, there are no
guarantees that any investment or savings program can outpace inflation. Please note that high risk has been historically associated with high returns.

Years Until Retirement Time can be your worst enemy or your greatest
ally. No matter where you are in life, the key to
building an asset accumulation program is to
begin saving now. The sooner you begin, the
less money you will need to put aside to create
solid savings for your future.
The following is an example of monthly
retirement savings required to reach a $1
million retirement goal with an interest rate of
8%, tax deferred.11
