WARNING: The Biggest Lie About Social Security
Like I said, If you are poor and on social security do not, and I repeat do not read this article. Why? Cause I am going to blast the recent article that was in USATODAY on August 16, 2005. The one that read "Millions of Americans get by on Social Security alone". Stand back... I warned you. Here goes... What the hell are you people thinking. And by 'you people' I mean you poor dumb ass non success driven, slacker, good for cat food people. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANY MONEY? What comes out of your mouth will now be an excuse...Plain and simple.Because I was a homemaker or a farmer, or I didn't work much, or I was this or I was that. 10.6 million Americans live on Social Security alone. It makes me sick. The U.S. is the land of opportunity and some people can't even feed themselves. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? If we were still living in the trees in Africa and hadn't evolved yet, your ass would have starved off a long time ago. Only the strong survive. Now that can be strong willed, strong minded, or any sort of strength where you aren't going to allow yourself to eat cat food. Here's part of the article I laugh at: "For some of the elderly, just admitting they need the help is tough. They are proud people, says Hulsey. They want to live independently for as long as possible....One reason they hold on: They don't want to have to depend on Medicaid, the governments health program. If they get Medicaid, they can't have much else. Johnson says that in Oregon, if you go on Medicaid, the state can get reimbursed by your estate when you die, leaving your heirs with little.People want to leave an estate when they pass on, Johnson says. They hold on to the deseperate last." Okay...now 99/100 when you die and you're only living on Social Security, you don't have an estate. Your heir's will get stuck with the bill. Now I am done ranting. While it may be too late for those 10.6 million Americans who live on Social Security, it's not too late for some of us. I urge everyone to read about building wealth and then take action to do it. I don't want to read in the newspapers about you too. Social Security should be used to pay for your green fees.

Financial Planning For Singles Financial planning often gets a bad rap. Part of the problem is self-inflicted, since some industry participants would rather sell you a product than address your financial concerns.

Anthony Robbins 12 Reasons Why People Dont Get Wealthy According to Wallace Wattles, in his popular wealth treatise called the Science of Getting Rich, said that, "There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic.

Turn Your Job Loss Into the Opportunity of a Lifetime There are few things in life that are more stressful than the loss of a job. You may think that the loss of your steady paycheck puts financial freedom that much further off, but nothing can be further from the truth. Could a Roth IRA be Better Than a 401(k)? Very few people whom I know are familiar with the benefits of the Roth IRA. It was named for the late Senator William Roth of Rhode Island, who proposed it. It is similar to a traditional IRA except contributions are never tax-deductible. Contributions to traditional IRAs are sometimes deductible or partially deductible, depending on your income and whether or not you have a retirement plan like a 401(k) at work. With Roth IRAs, individuals are limited to incomes of $95,000 ($150,000 for couples) to be eligible for full contribution amounts. 7 Wonders of the Offshore World Many people assume that the offshore world is accessible only to the super rich looking to increase their wealth, or to large multi national corporations looking to escape taxation.

Part 1 Whenever we read about building wealth or even attend a seminar for that purpose, we usually begin by assessing our present financial status. We're asked to calculate our assets and liabilities followed by a determination of where we'd like to be in a certain period of time. Being armed with this data along with assessing our present earning and saving power, we then set out to structure our financial goals. Although we try to be realistic, we still want to stretch ourselves a little bit ? after all, that's one of the purposes of setting goals, isn't it? To achieve more than we normally would if we didn't have goals in the first place. And also, goals are supposed to give us direction. Financial Intelligence - Compounding (The Ninth Wonder of the World) Compounding: The Ninth Wonder of the WorldBy Nicola Cairncross Learn How to Bank Like a Banker The business of banking has changed dramatically over the last decade. Because the cost of doing business the old-fashioned way is no longer effective, banks are interested in changing their customers' behavior by encouraging electronic banking alternatives whenever possible. They have done this by charging high fees for services that were once free. If you pay $200 or more in annual fees for banking, it's time to do some competitive shopping.

Your Money Or Your Life Have you stopped to realize that although you go to school to learn about important subjects, no one teaches you how to manage your money? Money is an essential part of life in our pursuit of happiness, yet very rarely will a parent sit down and tech their child how to handle their money. This is true in grade school, high school and worst college. So what happens? Many of us end up in an extremely large amount of debt. We can't seem to get it together even if we make more money. I found myself in this trap about 13 years ago. I had an okay job, a car, and an apartment. Nice I thought soon I would buy a house and live the "American dream". Wrong! I could never save enough to buy a house. I had plenty of credit cards, so many that I never had enough money due to many payments to put aside for my dream home. What was happening to my paychecks? Well, I was over extended in credit card debt for one. The buy now pay later syndrome was well embedded in my head. That mentality had to stop! Since, I wasn't terribly behind in my payments I was able to get some help from the creditors. I simply asked for a lower interest rate and/or the ability to skip a payment. After that call, I had to cut up and dispose of the cards. No! I didn't cancel my cards but I got rid of them just the same. Next I bought a tablet just for my budget information and bills. I also purchased a software program to keep track of my expenses. I think it is important to keep something manual that you can carry as well as a computer software tool. Next, as bills came in, I wrote them down with the name, address, phone number of the creditor, my total balance, interest rate, and minimum payment due, the due date, and if there were any annual fees acquired with the card. Review the card with the highest interest rate and pay more then the minimum due. Always ask if they can reduce your rate or seek the possibility of debt consolidation buy applying for a low interest rate loan or credit card. If you haven't cut up your credit cards do not get a consolidation loan. Because most likely once your payments are manageable you'll start using your cards again. Minimizing your spending is the key to financial freedom. Make sure to start a savings plan after you've gotten your debt under control.

Brandeis A New Economic Policy Anyone knows that material wealth is measured in goods: apples, cars, shoes, sheep, etc. When the number and the quality of these things increases, wealth increases. Personal Budget Programs Do you have financial problems? Then a budget is the answer if you are tired of wondering where your income went. A budget is the answer, if you don't have savings. A budget is also the only solution to getting out of credit card debt. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Even if we stumble upon a mentor, most of us may think it's a scam. Most of us have beliefs that keep us struggling financially; "the more I can save the richer I will become"; "building good credit is more important than how I use it"; "if I stay with my job for 10 years I will be rich"; "the rich are greedy and take advantage of others"; "I am not smart enough to be rich"; "if I work hard for my boss I will be greatly rewarded"; "I would have to work non-stop to become rich"; "I have to give up what I love to become rich". All of these beliefs are true from a certain perspective, namely yours! Most of these negative beliefs have been forced on us as children and are constantly reinforced by friends, family, news and even sitcoms. Personal, deep-seeded beliefs are what separate the top 10% from the bottom 90% in this country. Below are some mantras to think about every day in order to replace those negative beliefs:
