IRS Lack of Action on Mortality Rates Helps Company Pension Plans in 2016

21 Mar

U.S. companies with defined-benefit pension plans will save at least $18 billion in 2016 because the Internal Revenue Service has yet to adopt updated assumptions on how long Americans are living, Moody’s Investors Service says.

Costco will Not save You money

19 Mar

Now I’m all for being Frugal, no question about it.
However a lot of people are trading their most valuable resource for a few pennies.
So you wait in line 20 minutes to save 7 cents a gallon on 9 gallons to fill your Honda.
Good job. You are a smart consumer.

Wrong mind set- and here’s is why:
63 cents is nothing compared to the almost half hour you lost.

Was that time income producing?
Nope.
Could you recruit someone into your primary business in that time?
Yup.
I’ve seen a good marketer close in 5 minutes.
Even if all you get is a lead/phone number- the practice alone is worth more than 63 cents, especially to a newbie.

Should you be saving money?
All the time.

Should you be losing time?
Never.
Now if you are practically broke, maybe this works for you.
But if you are that broke than it just might be time to repurpose a lot of your time and build a business that takes your financial situation out of the hands of others.

Remember there is no sense in being stupid and cent savvy.

2016 Goals update

1 Mar

So I’m not going to even address the goals as far as successes and failures.

I will admit I didn’t hit a few of them in February.

However, looking at my goal sheet and my affirmations, Damn! Am I fired up!

Why.
Simple.

I see a change in me.
How you say?

I realize now that my goals not only need to be fine tuned but that the goals and affirmations, while positive don’t express my true hearts desire and ability as I have moved forward.

In 60 days so much as changed.
I’ve embraced my fears, and seen a skill set I previously was afraid of emerge in full bloom!
Damn! And I say that not to toot my own horn but to invigorate you my readers and compatriots.

Everything is possible.
Put in the effort.
Commit to it.
As I heard earlier today from a mentor- you can be married but still not committed.

Are you ready to commit to freedom and controlling your destiny?

Then Email me ASAP.

Don’t take advice from your plumber

28 Feb

Man! This is so real.
Friends, family, anyone really will try to advise you. Listen to that little voice inside.
Cultivate it until it screams the loudest.
Never take advice from someone who hasn’t done what you are embarking on. The painter doesn’t ask the plumber for help…
