Local Organization teaches students and others how to get rich quick

Dear Patrick,
Increasing passive income and lowering expenses is the way to become financially independent, says Preston Parker, president and founder of Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA). This organization was formed to help people manage their finances, and meets every other Thursday at 7:00 pm to discuss and implement smart financial planning. This forum is open to students, and is based around the idea that a financial foundation is started within oneself. I think this could be beneficial to the students of Utah State for several reasons.

First this organization teaches that time, assets, and experience can be invested to establish personal wealth in five areas of investment: social, physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. Many students may see investing as expending time and money to an outward source. However, CVAIA teaches that strong financial foundations start within an individual. After establishing personal well-being, focus is drawn outward to other investments.

Parker says, “We believe people should be able to spend their time doing something they love, not just a job that provides income.” In a university setting where so many students are struggling financially, or looking to find a career that excites them, I think this could be of great use to a large demographic of students. I urge you to consider the great impact this information, and more importantly this organization, could have on the student body at Utah State.

Cache Valley Area Investors Association was founded in 2007 by Preston Parker. It embraces the Law of Attraction, Law of Abundance, and Law of Exchange. The members are from varying geographical locations and all walks of life. They are united under that belief that education mitigates the risks of investing. For more information, please contact me.
