Subject line: Students can learn to make money doing what they love

Make money doing what you love
Becoming financially independent leads to a happier life


Greg,

The Cache Valley Area Investors Association is a new group formed in Logan by a professor at Utah State University, which aims to help people become financially independent and stable. They teach good spending and investing practices, and teach theories invented by successful business and financial people.

The Statesman does a good job of educating readers of what is going on around them that can help them and give them opportunities to grow. This article could help students understand more about their finances. Also, that they can be educated in what they love to do at Utah State University, and make money while doing it. An article about the CVAIA would appeal to Utah State students just starting their education, and those getting ready to leave to gets jobs and start making money.

Doing what you love is easy, but making money while doing it can be difficult. Learning how to invest, lower your expenses, and make “passive income” can lead to a happier life, full of doing things you want to, not have to. The CVAIA teaches these things for free in Logan, Utah. They meet every other Thursday and welcome people of all ages at no price.

The CVAIA meets every other Thursday at the Cache County Chamber of Commerce building. The meetings are held at 7 p.m., each featuring a guest lecturer. CVAIA’s website cvaia.com has more information regarding their goals, along with videos, theory information, and updated meeting dates and speakers.


Investment theories and financial education have been taught and formed by Robert Kyokasi, Suze Orman, Clark Howard, and Dave Ramsey.

Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) teaches people how to increase passive income. CVAIA embraces the law of attraction, law of abundance, and law of exchange. They practice the methods found in the ideologies of books including Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Wealthy Barber, The Millionaire Next Door, Atlas Shrugged, The Automatic Millionaire, and The Secret. CVAIA began in August 2007 and now has members from many geographical locations and from all walks of life. The members come together with the same belief: that education mitigates the risks of investing. The club currently has over 80 members on Facebook and on emailing lists.

  2. Lots of information, good research. Make sure you put (CVAIA) after your first reference. Also, I believe AP style for websites is to include the entire URL, http:// and all. Your first sentence in your second paragraph has a lot of "them"s close together which made it a little confusing. Make sure you read it out loud to yourself, you'll catch errors that way.
