4th of July Fun

Behind Memorial Day, Independence Day is my favorite summer holiday. It's still early enough in the summer to enjoy the holiday...and the weather is usually quite favorable for barbecuing and picnics and then enjoying the fireworks.

Hosting summer barbecues is a favorite thing for me. I like to get up early, begin cooking around 4am and setting up everything for my guests (most family and Toastmasters). This year will not be different.

Happy Independence Day!

Your Life -- Your Way

It's the absolute truth...each of us has control over the outcome of your life.

While some people may think, 'if that's the truth, then why is it that my luck is so bad?'

Look at the facts, if your goal is financial success, there are a more than a few ways to insure that success. For example, real estate (in many areas - including Los Angeles), investing or sales, starting a business, certain professions -- okay, okay, I'll say it - since you insist "marry money".

Now I know, you may say, the above paragraph is just plain stupid. Well...look again. A few years ago, many people were selling or investing in real estate...I've seen people go from barely scraping by, to becoming cash flush. Of course, both the sellers and the purchasers are (for the most part) not as happy as they were (in many states) as they were a few years ago, but everybody knows that life is cyclical. In other words, if you're making money in one area -- it's a safe bet to invest in another.

As far as starting a business. Some may ask, who has money to invest in a business? Let's think outside of the (proverbial) box for a second. What about people who began their business in their home (or their parent's garage)...not everyone was born with the last name "Trump". The key is to start small...from what I've heard, many millionaires made their money in RE and owning their own business.

Let's think about some high paid professions. It seems that a few years ago, Information Technology, (IT) was easy to learn, and a cash cow. I'm not putting IT pros down, but I know of quite a few people who are self-taught, or went to trade schools. Of course there are those who went through 4 year programs as well....

Speaking of college education, it's a fact that more education usually equates to more money. RN's command more than LVN's, BS RN, make more than those with Associate Degrees, Physician Assistants (PA) and make less than doctors, but more than other ancillary medical staff members.

A friend of mine is an Anesthesiologist. He told me than when he was in medical school, his friends were partying and having a good time, (even those pursuing undergraduate degrees) while he was concentrating on the books. Now, the tables are turned. Many of his childhood friends and non-doctor friends are working more hours for less pay.

What about marrying money? That is difficult -- but certainly possible. If your life circle places you in places where money abounds, chances are greater that you'll be able to snag a millionaire. Remember, if you're lucky enough to fall in love with a person of means...remember your good friend the "Hypnotist" :-)
