HI - thanks for joining us here!
Why invest your Money? – Great question for the money that you have gathered – and in what?.
Let’s establish some premises. First the American economy is improving at this time. We’re seeing this in rising car sales, improvements in manufacturing, gasoline demand up and a surge in economic activity as consumers spend and retailers restock their shelves. Consumers are even shelling out for the discretionary items in this period of recovery.
This economic recovery is riding high on the huge, massive input of dollars from the Federal Government. And this tidal wave of money is primed to continue for this year.
The rough economic times may not be over – and now you look carefully at the surges and pull backs in the market and no longer think that ‘investing and forgetting’ is a good plan – right?
Now you ask ‘why to invest’ and where? Continue reading Why Invest Your Money – and In What

Where were they to teach us this in grade school – the ‘Questions to Ask about Money’?
It strikes me as basic – fundamental to the spirit of your life and mine – that somewhere along the line (and not from someone who wants to sell you something) – that core curriculum would include understanding the nature of money and its key components. This didn’t happen for most of us – and we play catch up for our lives, if we did not have parents who stepped in to fill the role of money teacher.
After all – money is there to serve you – answering your needs for sustenance, pleasure, contribution, security and many more – when you know the questions to ask about money.
Here they are: How is Money Made? – How is Money Invested? – How is Money Grown? – and How is Money Protected? These are the keys to an abundant life. And, different seasons of life often focus more of our attention on one of these questions at a particular time. Continue reading Questions To Ask About Money

All the Rules of Investing changed in January 2009.
Why? – Three Big Reasons! And, investing your money like you did in the past is positioned to get you into trouble ahead.
What happened? – Market Conditions and the Investment ‘Tools’ of the Market are vastly different than what you’ve previously seen in your lifetime.
National Debt exploded, Market Volatility – down and then up – roared, and the range of Asset Classes (where you could easily invest in the Markets) exploded.
One at a time, here. Debt – the huge elephant under the rug – like nothing that we have ever seen before – and growing! Will America default on its sovereign debt? This was unthinkable, and now it is a real possibility. The European Nations can bail Greece out – but who bails America out? No one is big enough, and can afford to do that. Projections by the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently projected a $8.5trillion deficit over the next ten years – while the New York Times said that the government’s projects are historically too optimistic – so it could be more.
So, the first of the three reasons investing has changed Continue reading Guide To Investing – Out with the Old, In With the New…

Have you applied to your financial institution for a Loan Modification? What do you need to know? – And how do you do it? – I’ll tell you, because it’s imperative at this moment!!
Do you have a variable rate mortgage? I have been talking a whole lot lately about interest rates…because they are the horror story of the financial markets. And if you have a variable rate mortgage…the ‘Baddies’ are stalking your property. Your security of homeownership is being preyed upon right now.
You don’t have to stop paying your mortgage in order to apply for a Loan Modification – or you may be one of the millions of Americans who simply can’t pay because the cost of home ownership is out of whack with your monthly income.
The ‘Baddies’ are the avalanche of government borrowing to finance deficit spending – and there is no power on earth that can stop the coming higher interest rates. Your mortgage is probably still some of the lowest in rates that you have experienced – and a ‘perfect storm’ is brewing for variable mortgages to sky rocket. Yes!!…loan modification to a fixed rate of interest is what you are after so you don’t lose the comforts of your abode. Continue reading Loan Modification – For You?

Money – having money, growing it, and feeling financially secure – is a big grooming piece in a woman’s life — or at least it should be. Make no mistake – better than a face lift or sparkling diamonds – having money in our checking accounts when we are wise, gracefully aging women – will put a smile on our faces and a security in our step.
Because money is a life-giving energy – just like love, health or physical strength – it is a resource that is both necessary and vital to our health and well-being. Having ample money allows us the freedom to choose what we do . . . in work, play and life. Money provides an answer to emergencies. It enables us with resources to give someone else a better life. Women today can expect to live to be centurions – we out live men in our society – and we will need cash flow for long years of life. Continue reading What Money Does For A Woman!

At no other time in history have we seen that the world’s leading power is also the world’s biggest debtor. Let that sink in – because it is everything to your portfolio choices.
For the first time we are seeing open rebellion against political and Wall Street practices.
Two years ago, the government CBO estimated a deficit for this year of $250billion – and failed to see a $1.6trillioin actual deficit for this year coming its way! And, while the same CBO estimates a budget deficit of $829billion for 2012 – a double dip recession is headed for a $2trillion deficit in that year, is the state of things shaping up.
There is a crisis of confidence with Washington, and Wall Street for these growing reasons. The information from these two sources is not creditworthy (no pun intended) for the basis for you and me to invest. The information is simply designed to keep a story of the ‘game’ that they’ve been playing going, which is wreaking havoc on our Nation, and to sell the American investor on bad information.
That’s why it takes an independent point of view to sort out fact from fiction – and that’s what we will do for you to show how you can Make Money, while others lose money, in the times ahead. Continue reading Crisis in Confidence — Change Up Your Best Investing
