Financial Education key to happy life

LOGAN, Utah -- Make more money, do what you love and get more out of life. A new organization in Cache Valley promises, with education, to help any one do those things.


Preston Parker, president and founder of Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA), began the association as a way to help people become financially independent. By teaching members of CVAIA correct principles about money and getting them out of bad habits Parker hopes to change peoples ideas about the way money works.


"I teach people to think about opportunities and money differently then their parents," Parker said. "Most people come out of high school knowing what an amoeba is but don't know how to balance a checkbook and that needs to change."


Becoming financially independent is a goal Parker wishes for everyone so they can be happy and enjoy life. He said having money doesn't equate to happiness, at the same time he said having enough for a person's needs and be comfortable enhances quality of life.



CVAIA meets every other Thursday at seven p.m. at the Cache County Chamber of Commerce, 160 N. Main St. The next meeting will be on Feb. 21. Preston started the organization in August 2007 to provide financial education. He teaches at many of the meetings and also brings in guest speakers to talk about other money related topics, like the difference between earned income and passive income, starting a business and taxes. Parker has personally benefitted from these principles and has helped many others since CVAIA started.


Membership has grown to almost 40 Cache Valley residents. The group is open to any one that would like to join and membership is free. To become a member of this association send Parker an e-mail at cachevalley@gmail.com.
