How many times have you looked back on life and wished that you had started investing earlier?

By: Tina Stern

Talk to your children or grandchildren about the value of saving money for specific purposes. Simple lesson: if you want something, you have to save your money for it.
Once they’ve learned to save to achieve their goals, it’s time to teach them how to earn money through interest accumulation. Learning the benefits of compound interest will help to encourage them to invest their money in income producing instruments.

It’s important to stay involved with them as they learn to build a secure financial future. Most children consider a parent or grandparent a primary source of financial information.

Be a good role model by demonstrating good financial habits yourself.

The best house parties don’t even require a house.

Just some sun, a little grass and a lot of champagne. And maybe some squirt guns and massages.

Welcome to a pop-up outdoor club called Beachwood, now open for the summer in Hollywood.

Here’s the deal: every Saturday from now until September (or thereabouts), you’ll be privy to seven hours of laid-back California partying at what looks like your wildest producer friend’s backyard. Come by around noon—just look for the surfboard above the old Cabana Club entrance—and settle into a breezy cabana for brunch. It comes with bottomless mimosas until 2pm, so things won’t stay quiet for long.

Soon you’ll notice the music getting louder. Bottles of Dom arriving with a squirt gun on a silver platter. And ladies in skimpy bikinis showing up on the dance floor (for convenience, it’s equipped with a mist machine). And if you need to loosen up a bit before you hit that floor, step into a dark room for a quick $20 massage.

You’ll also be happy to hear they’ve got two VIP sections, right in the middle of it all, each with their own personal hot tub. That should keep you busy until sundown, when it all spills out into the streets… and you’re off to start your Hollywood night.

This is how Bob Seger did it.
