Managing your money flow is the second step of building your financial house. It is like building the frame that the rest of the home will be built around.

The concept of managing your money flow is basically making sure that your inflow of cash is less than your outflow of cash. This process is called budgeting. When you create and follow a budget, you are living within your current means and you will avoid accumulating new debt. (more…)

As a professional options trader, there are two things I will remember most as I look back at this bear market of 2008, and that is; a.) How covered call writing investors are receiving substantial option premiums to take risk and; b.) How the certainty of a “buy and hold” approach of a well diversified, structured portfolio was not spared from the devastating effects of this bear market liquidation. (more…)

The term “offshore banking” simply means “using the banking services of banks in foreign countries”. Nothing more. For people whose nation is an island, “offshore” is synonymous to “foreign” - and that’s the origin of the word.

Historically, economic downturns and financial crises, were nearly always boom times for debt collectors, because their earning are usually based on the amount of money that they regain. This recession is entirely different however, due to its severity, and what was previously almost inconceivable, is now taking place.

Credit card companies have finally realized that due to the depth and breadth of this recession, that a huge number of Americans are so hard-pressed, that they can’t, and won’t be able to pay their bills.

The consequences of this depressing realization mean that the number of troubled borrowers that are now getting payment extensions, has close to doubled in the last six months, and borrowers that are having major problems are frequently being offered hard to believe deals, that release them from 20 - 70% of their credit card indebtedness.

Over the years, credit card companies constantly augmented their profits by adding all kinds additional charges, such as late fees, pre-payment fees and over-the-limit fees, and they seemingly didn’t realize that they’d eventually kill the geese that were laying the golden eggs.

Credit card companies recently announced that they expect to write off an unprecedented $395 billion of bad debts over the next five years, which compares with a total of about $275 billion in the last five years.

If, like a great many others you’re buried under credit card debt then it’s time to act, and the sooner the better, and here’s how to do it.

Prepare a list of all your credit cards and include;

The account name, the phone number, how much you owe, the annual interest rate and the minimum monthly payment.

Now call each credit card company and do your best to negotiate a lower interest rate, bearing in mind that credit card companies will normally only offer loan modifications to people who meet certain criteria.

The majority of credit card companies will normally only do deals with people that have been delinquent for more than ninety days, and if you haven’t been delinquent for that length of time, or at all, then tell them politely, but firmly that you have financial problems and are trying to avoid delinquency.

After each phone call, update your info with the new percentage rates that were agreed to, and then reorder your list of companies according to their interest rates, with the card with the lowest interest rate at the top.

Now call the FIRST credit card company, and ask if you can transfer the amount owed to the LAST company on your list to them, and if they agree then try to make sure that they’ll still honor the new interest rate that they recently agreed to. If they refuse to negotiate, then move on to the second company on your list, and repeat the process until you’ve finally called every company, and gotten the best deals possible.

The next step in the process is to reorder your list again, but this time, put the company that’s charging the highest interest at the TOP of your list.

The final step is to make only a minimum payment on every card on the list, with the exception of the FIRST one on the list.

You should pay the FIRST card on the list the maximum that you comfortably can, and when it’s paid off you should close the account, delete it from the list, and then do the same thing with the next card that’s at the top of the list.

If you persevere with this, you’ll gradually see your list of credit cards getting smaller and smaller, and you’ll have saved yourself a huge amount of interest at the same time.

Will Using The Above System Harm My Credit Rating?

The answer is sadly, “yes”, and you might well undergo a drop in your credit score of between 70-100 points, and you may be affected for as many as seven years. The adverse effects being that it will be far more difficult and expensive to obtain new loans.

Knowing that your credit score will be adversely affected, means that you’ll have to make a judgment call as to whether to use the above system or not, and your decision should be based on your present financial state, and your existing credit rating.

In the event that you decide to follow the advice and to save the money, you’ll now know exactly how to do it.

While there’s over $800 billion in free grant money being sent out to millions of Americans, many people are still completely unaware that they are eligible to receive some of these funds as well. Because the government does not advertise these grant programs, there is a lack of public awareness on who can apply for and receive some of this free government money. (more…)

Some people have this dangerous mindset that the offers found on the Internet (if they look legitimate) are safe and sound. Think again. There are Internet-based companies out there that will take your money and either deliver very slowly on their services or leave you with nothing at all. Unfortunately some of these are in the banking sector as well. Here is what to watch out for when you look online at these offers.
