Author, K. C. Staar’s journey into Financial Awareness began when he suffered a sizable loss in the markets. Despite utilizing the expertise of a top notch advisor, K.C. didn’t understand the full implications of his advisors words and failed to enact necessary preventative steps to avoid the loss.
In the years since, K.C. has honed his financial acumen and has accrued a comfortable, safe and increasing personal net worth value that will more than adequately care for his family’s future and his retirement. K.C.’s book, An Unconventional and Comprehensive Guide to Everything Investing, is the result of his learning process, his mistakes, his successes and a truly analytical and detached mindset.
Raised by a German immigrant father and a small town Canadian mother, K.C. and his siblings were taught to save money from an early age. To the young K.C. saving money did not translate into using the proverbial piggy bank but into an intense desire to learn how to make his hard earned money work for him.
Fueled by divergent interests, his various career paths taught him one great lesson. Money was not that hard to make – but investing it wisely and making it grow was a long road to master.
K. C. Staar works for the Canadian Oil and Gas Industry, a career that gives him great insight into the natural resources and environmental industries as well as ancillary R&D areas. He lives in Canada, is the married father of 3 and yes, all of his children’s higher education is now paid for and they are a far cry from University age.
An Unconventional and Comprehensive Guide to Everything Investing is his first book.
