Hello and welcome to Chiso Seattle. We have to ask you: Got assets? No? Why not? What are you waiting for? If you are waiting to win the lottery before you claim you have any assets, you might want to find a new financial advisor!

The truth is, you CAN accumulate assets. You don’t have to have a million dollars in order to do so, even if the news is filled with men and women of great means trying to tell you how to do it. Unless they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they didn’t start out wealthy.

And one more thing: You can have assets without being wealthy. Start small. Learn the basics of investing before jumping in. You’ll be happy you did!
