Traditional IRA Accounts or Self-Directed IRA’s?

November 25th, 2008 -- Posted in Retirement, Wealth Strategies | 2 Comments »

Most people are aware of traditional IRA’s, ROTH IRA’s, 401K’s, etc. Have you ever thought of a self-directed IRA though? For those of you who may not be familiar with this type of IRA, it’s an alternative. An alternative to the stock market, bonds, and mutual funds, but with the same "rules" for withdrawals and taxation. For years people have been using this vehicle to "invest out of the box ", but it’s now becoming even more popular since the average IRA has decreased in value by about 40%.

November 20th, 2008 -- Posted in Misc Ranting, Retirement, Wealth Strategies | No Comments »

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just yell, "Uncle", like we did as a kid when a sibling was trouncing us? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up tomorrow and all of the news this past month (plus) was a dream? Everything going on right now is preoccupying the minds of all Americans. Whether you work for a corporation, or have a home-based business, whether you are currently "okay" financially, or strung as tight as a rubber band - long term we will all be affected.

November 14th, 2008 -- Posted in Home Business Ideas, Retirement, Wealth Strategies | No Comments »

So who do you think has the most vested interests in your financial future …. the so called experts, or yourself?

And although this may sound like a "plug" for them, I can tell you sincerely, if I had not found continue reading »

November 10th, 2008 -- Posted in Carbon Copy Pro, Home Business Ideas, Retirement, Wealth Strategies | No Comments »

"87% of Americans believe that women will experience age discrimination at some point in their lives"

"Women think age discrimination begins at age 43 for themselves and at age 47 for men"

According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), age based complaints are up about 21% from 10 years ago.

The Most Effective Way To Market To Today’s Moms

November 7th, 2008 -- Posted in Home Business Ideas, Marketing Tips, Wealth Strategies | 1 Comment »

Today, I want to share with you a source I periodically use, and the recent email I received from this group. They have a plethora of information on any target market you may want to know more about. Here’s the latest from them…..
