Money Management
Managing your Money

Is saving a dollar here and there really worth it? Does it significantly add up to anything worth while? Well that depends on who you are talking to. Saving $25 on any given occasion may not sound like that much but you do that over a year and you have yourself $300. Then take that $300 and invest it, and add the $25 each month and for arguments sake say you get 4% i... Read personal finance article



Financial Freedom
If you have read some of my past articles, you are familiar with my definition of financial freedom. It is freedom to focus on what is truly important to you and your family without trading time for a wage. It is enabled by a portfolio of income producing assets managed by you. In other words, your rental properties or eBay business pays the bills. It is not retirement or jet-setting around the wo... Read personal finance article



Make Money - Best Ways
Do what you love. Do it legally. Provide real value. Enhance your life as you work in a profession that fills you up instead of sucking the life out of you. Lots of people work in jobs they hate due to a feeling of obligation and a lack of hope. You can make your dreams come true, but doing that usually involves working in a field that provides value to others and at the same time is enjoyable to you.

Working a job that doesn't renew your spirit and or put a smile on your face in the morning is a slow death. Life is too short for that. If you are working a job that drains you, sit down and have a heart to heart talk with yourself. You've really got two options: find a way to love or at least tolerate the job you're currently working or switch to a new job that will really light your fire. Things to consider are your current skills and interests, but under no circumstances should you underestimate what you can achieve. If you can believe it and feel good about it, you can do it. If you don't currently have the skills, you'll acquire them. If you need something to facilitate doing your new job, you'll acquire that too. Blind faith will work miracles in your life if you just get your logical mind out of the way long enough to let it.

An illogical concept that can really gum up your prospects is the idea of scarcity; the idea that there's a finite supply of things to go around - and if you don't take yours, maybe you won't get any. There is an infinite supply of things in the universe. There is an infinite supply of opportunities. They are created by what you think and what you feel. Take responsibility for the potential of your own greatness and kick some butt out there. All the money you could ever want and need is yours - you just have to believe in yourself.

Congressional Democrats and Republicans Talk On Taxes

The Democrats are pointing at the Republicans, and they are pointing back. Both sides of Congress took their turns portraying the other party of wanting to boost taxes for middle class American taxpayers.

A package of expired tax breaks appears to be unlikely to be reinstated before the Congress adjourns at the end of this week. The expired breaks include the popular research and development tax credit for business, college-tuition relief, deductions for sales taxes in some states and deductions for teachers who purchase classroom supplies for their classes.

"If the president would expend as much energy pushing for the tax extenders as he does for estate tax benefits for the 7,500 wealthiest families, millions of Americans would avoid a tax increase when these laws expire," said Representative Charles Rangel of New York, the senior Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee.

Republicans had tried to tie the popular bi-partisan tax breaks to the controversial legislation to premanently lower federal estate taxes. The "trifecta bill" failed to clear the Senate earlier this year.

Republicans have been blocking attempts by Senator Max Baucus of Montana, senior Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, to bring up only the expired breaks on their own. They insist the package will include the estate-tax relief.

Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina, attempted to bring new consideration to the trifecta bill on Tuesday. The trifecta also included a proposed increase in the minimum wage. The move was met by parliamentary objection by the Democrats.

"We see it again, a bill that's been debated and considered for many, many months, a bill that a press ocnference was held this very day saying we need to pass a major portion of it," said DeMint. "Yet, at every turn, there's blocking."
