Your Financial Free Mindset

How Does Money Work for You…

Why Do YOU Need Money? What Do YOU Need Money For?

1. College tuition for your kids?
2. A bigger house and a brand new car?
3. Security when you retire?

Wouldn't it be great to simply have enough money so you
don't have to worry?

The answer is, of course, “Yes”. But that is when the
issue of “Worry” becomes more complex. There is a
close correlation between “Worry” and “Fear”. This
has nothing to do with how much, or how little, money
you have. You can balance your checkbook, you can
move money every day between your investments,
you can double your life insurance, and you can buy
lottery tickets… But, yes, and this is a BIG BUT,
none of it will do you any good until you get beyond
the “Worry” and “Fear”:

• The fear of money,
• The fear of not having enough money,
• The fear of having enough money,
• The fear of having to take action, and
• The fear of inaction.

Financial planners and tell us that “…financial
freedom does
not depend on how much
money YOU have. Financial freedom is
when YOU have POWER over your worries
and fears instead of
the other way around.”

Whatever YOUR circumstances -- in debt, working,
downsized,
afraid of becoming downsized, retired,
having just inherited
money, having just lost money
– the only person who can help you is YOU! First and
foremost you have to take control over your “Worries”
and “Fears”.

One of the best ways to achieve this is to take ACTION.
Decide what you want to do, accept that there are
hardly any risk-free options available (those that are
almost certainly are not worth the paper they are
written on) and DO IT.

I strongly recommend an OPTION which will
empower YOU to take control over your “Worries”
and “Fears”. This OPTION link is below... Click on

Survey Reveals Top Annoying Internet Wordage!


By Stevie Smith Jun 22, 2007, 12:32 GMT

Ranking as one of history’s most revolutionary tools of communication, the Internet has, in its brief existence, seen vast communities spring up from its technologically rich soil. With the emergence of those communities has come an extension of everyday written and spoken language, an online and Web-savvy form of language that instantly separates the technophobes from the technophiles. However, a new survey reveals that, Shakespearian similarities to one side, such inventive originality is not always welcome.

More pointedly, according a reoort by the Telegraph, a poll published by UK research outfit YouGov, the likes of "blog", "wiki", and "podcast" are ranked amongst the most annoying words to have been created by the perpetually expanding influence of the Internet culture in recent years.

The YouGov poll, which gathered the thoughts and reactions of some 2,091 adults, revealed that the number one Internet-spawned term that instantly compelled online browsers to "wince, shudder, or want to bang your head on the keyboard" was… "folksonomy", which is a somewhat obscure word used to describe a Web–based classification system.

Next on the list was "Blogosphere", which is an all-encompassing term used to describe the online community of blogs (Web-logs) and journals. Perhaps unsurprisingly, "blog" follows close behind, with the truly grating "netiquette" grinding its way into fourth position in terms of user irritation, and "blook", sliding into fifth. YouGov’s survey was commissioned by the Lulu Blooker Prize, which exists as a literary award for books.

The poll results come hot on the heels of various forms of Internet-based terminology being officially added to the pages of the ninth edition of the Collins English Dictionary. Related words admitted to the new edition include the cringe-inducing "godcast", which is similar in meaning to "podcast" but involves specific religious content converted to the MP3 media format for download.

Newly relevant words considered for inclusion to the Collins English Dictionary are assessed by collating English usage information taken from a 2.5 billion-word database that consists of published books, broadcast transcripts, journals, magazines, and Web sites.

The remaining five of the top ten most annoying terms plucked from the vastness of cyberspace by the YouGov poll saw "Webinar", an online seminar, come in at six, "Vlog", a video blog, at seven, "Social networking", used to describe Web 2.0-driven communities online, at eight, and at nine is "cookie", which is a text file stored on a user’s computer hardware from a visited Web site.

And four howlers combine in joint tenth place to round out the online discomfort felt by the respondants, those being: "Wiki", a Web site where a multitude of authors add, remove, and edit its evolving content (i.e. Wikipedia); "podcast", a downloadable file of audio-based data; "Avatar", an image respresentation of the user in either static or animated form; and "user-generated content", which also alludes to Web 2.0 and describes Web-based content driven by the online community.

Her Sceptic Accountant Husband Almost Lost Her $1.2m!

Have you heard about the heiress who almost lost her total inheritance of $1.2m? A relative of her's passed away without making a will... A Heir Angels company traced her as the only living relative. They wrote her a letter informing her of her potential inheritance but she threw the letter away because she was told by her sceptical accountant husband that it was a scam.

The following day she received a call from the Heir Angels company executive wanting to make an appointment for her to sign some papers. He gave her his name and also his position with the company. Feeling more comfortable after having received such details she agreed to see him. They made an appointment.

Bearing in mind her husband's informed words, she was now wondering whether she did the right thing... She decided that if this Heir Angel company was as reputable as claimed by the Executive who contacted her it must have a website. So, she googled it. Sure enough they had a website.

She went to the website and started browsing around. To her pleasant surprise she found not only the name of that executive but also his picture included on the site as one of the senior executives. She could not wait for her husband to come home that evening. Very confidently, she told him what she had done and also found on the company's website. She felt very pleased and also proud of herself firstly because:
  1. There was nothing her husband can possibly object to;
  2. She would be able to recognize the executive when they met; and
  3. She was now almost convinced that there was, after all, a large inheritance coming her way.
If she had not done her own due diligence she would have lost her $1.2m inheritance due to unfounded scepticism alone....

Moral of the story: Always do your own Due Diligence in all business and social affairs you wish to get involved in....

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, add flour to hot oil and cook for about 2 minutes. Add part of the warm milk and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the rest of the warm milk, two 2 dessertspoons full of salt, cheddar cheese, parsley and eggplants - first squeeze the water out of eggplants completely. Ensure that the eggplants are well beaten and all the ingredients are mixed together. Place the mixture into the refrigerator for about two hours.
