Want Money You Got It!Miami Phillips Six out of six people who were asked to list their highest priority in life said, "I want money". Maybe not in those exact words, but that was the gist of the request. Understand, when you ask the Universe for something the Universe must help provide it. All six of these people are getting exactly what they asked for. They are wanting money. None of us really needs money. This is a fallacy. We have all we need; shelter, food and clothing. Most of us have much more than the basic necessities for life because we enjoy nice houses, fine cars, eat out every now and then, and extras like computers, music, books, trips and many other ‘things’. Do you realize most people want money no matter how much income they have Someone making $100,000 a year wants money just as much or more than someone making $30,000. Isnt that fascinating We must realize it is not the money we want, but the stuff money can buy. Look closely at the stuff to be absolutely sure of the reasons it is wanted. This is the rule: Be who you are. Do what you love. Have what you need. Be, Do, Have. Most of the world, and especially in America, has this rule backwards. Most Do something, to Have stuff, to Be somebody. So many people are working a job, called making a living, by default instead of by passion. Some begin work in a field early in life and stay for 30 or 40 years because they are familiar with it. Some enter a family business because they are expected to and never follow their own path. Others enter a career expecting a high income. Most do not Do what they love. How do you know Ask this: Are you making a living or making a life How is your stress level Do you consider it a job or do you love to begin Answers to these questions will provide clues for you. We take the income from these jobs and buy stuff: newer cars, bigger houses, more toys. Many are bought on credit, and we mortgage away our lives. Why Because it is the way we are raised. We are bombarded with marketing all our lives to act in this way. We want to impress our friends. I got a heck of a deal on a new car! Want to go for a spin in the new boat All this stuff ends up in yard sales, consignment shops, back yards and trash dumps. Life is good though, because with all this stuff we can now Be somebody. We live in that neighborhood, drive that car, have membership in that club, and wear those clothes. Now we are good enough to Be with those people. See It is backwards. We Do, Have, Be instead of Be, Do, Have . What is wrong with this It leads to a never ending, vicious cycle. There is always more stuff! We all want desperately to just Be . If our Being depends on Having we are all in trouble. There is always more stuff! Bigger and better houses, cars, clubs, clothes, boats, airplanes etc.... To get this stuff we need more income, which means we must be Doing work harder and longer at jobs we didnt particularly like to begin with. * What is the answer Be who you are first. Define the top four values for your Self. I will send you a worksheet if you email and ask for it. Define what success is for you! Again, I will be happy to send you a worksheet. With your definitions in hand, begin to make conscious choices on every single opportunity based on your values and your definition of success instead of someone elses. Over time you will find your life reflecting who you are. Do what you love. This takes time to understand. What did you love to do as a child What are your dreams now What are you passionate about Each of us is here for a reason. When you understand this reason, and follow it with all your heart, an amazing thing will happen. You will Have what you need. You might not need all the stuff you have. When you are fulfilled Being who you are, and you are busy Doing what you love, there is a Universal energy standing by so you Have what you need. Be ready! You might not need what you have! Your Coach and online friend, Miami Miami Phillips

Renting Versus Buying: Pros and Cons Realtors have benefited from a new variety of homebuyer in todays market: the young, single professional. It used to be that most single men and women resigned themselves to a somewhat transient, short-term renters lifestyle until Mr. or Ms. Right came along. Thats not the case anymore. With more and more people delaying marriage until their careers have assumed the direction they wish to take -- and due to the fact that a greater percentage of young people are financially independent and quite successful -- single professionals are changing from renters to buyers. Five Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd Some people are content to just to be another face in the crowd. By assuming this attitude, they are saying, in effect, to the rest of the world, Im just average; theres nothing special about me. For those of us who would rather stand out from the crowd, there are some relatively easy ways in which we can accomplish this mission. None of them require a whole lot of skill or money. They do, however, require a little bit of commitment on our part. Hassle-Free Homebuying Perhaps you’d like to take advantage of today’s great real estate market in housing but feel a little intimidated by everything that’s involved. Housing Bill - Changes in the Right To Buy Scheme Presently council tenants are able to purchase their rented property after 2 years of tenancy. However, this is about to change. As of the 18th January 2005, the new Housing Bill becomes law and the current 2 years will change to a period of 5 years. This means, that once the proposals come into force, any new council tenant will have to wait 5 years before having the option of buying their property. Debt Consolidation There are many reasons why people get into debt - some of them self inflicted and some of them way outside of our control. Losing a job, illness or accidents, all of these can suddenly plunge one into unexpected expenditure, and often the only way to deal with the emergency is to use debt. There is a tendency, however, to keep on borrowing once you start. This is because the process becomes so easy - credit card companies and banks seem keen to throw cash at you, and the interest payments, when regarded individually, often seem insignificant. Before you know it, you are deep in debt, owing money to several institutions and card companies, and the bills are mounting. This is the stage when one starts to notice infomercials and TV ads for debt consolidation. Money in the Bank Recently, I was on the phone with a friend of mine from California who just purchased his first home.Hes a single father and hes in his early 30s.He was upset that his parents had never stressed the importance of owning a home or even talked to him about how to save.“Man, Im just thinking about all of the money I wasted when I was younger,” he complained.Its true, before we had kids, what were we spending our money onRemember when we could shop at the store and it was all about usDidnt have to worry about somebody putting Dora cookies or fruit roll-ups in the shopping cart How To Save Money On Groceries Unlike a fixed monthly cost such as your mortgage or car payment, the amount you spend on groceries each month is somewhat flexible. While the common advice of clipping coupons and buying generic brands to save money while shopping is sound, by far the best way to truly keep your grocery shopping expenses under control is by understanding how grocery stores entice you to spend more than you really want. By fully understanding the ways grocery stores encourage you to spend, many of which you probably never even noticed before, you can combat their strategies and spend money only on the merchandise you really need.

Secrets & Benefits of Secured Loans Borrowing money has become more and more popular in the UK over recent years, and this is partly due to the fact that it has become far easier to borrow money.

Secured loans have become very popular with those that own property, and this type of finance deal offers affordability and excellent value for money. Secured loans are available from a wide pool of lenders, which means that consumers have plenty of choice when it comes to selecting and applying for secure loans. Reducing Debt Through Lower Interest Loans It happens to the majority of us, credit card debt accumulates and before we quite realize it, we are carrying a debt load that is far beyond our means. When this happens, we need to take immediate positive steps to knock down the debt as quickly as possible. One of the most efficient ways to do this is to reduce the amount of interest we pay by shopping around for a better rate and having our balances transferred over. By doing this, we pay more towards the principal, thereby reducing the duration of the loan and saving ourselves potentially thousands of dollars over the lifetime of the loan.
