When I started this blog maybe I was wrong. Maybe money is the enemy that is wrecking the world, but there is a solution out there. I recently posted a blog about how I am half way to my Google goal of $100.00. It has taken some time, but the majority of that money has come from blogs I write for every day. These blogs sometimes get more attention than other times, but the idea is to keep the words fresh and keep Google happy.

As time rolls on, maybe I will be promoted and the blog will get its own domain name. That means even more hits and if I use some SEO article writing tips, the world and my Google check will be better for the effort.

Money is out there to be made and anyone can make it if they try and they spend a little time typing online. An Internet connection without a profit is something that is useless I have found. If I couldn't make a living writing, I would not know what to do. This is the best job on earth and I am going to try to stay away from the thought that money is the enemy!

Question for President Obama - Please Respond

I have a question for President Obama. Here is the story!

Many years ago a boy and a girl fell in love. They decided to wait to buy a home in order to save up enough money to have a good down payment. They got married, had a family and made a few financial mistakes along the way. Working through these mistakes and rebuilding their credit seemed like the best thing to do even when the world was borrowing more money than ever around them.

They did NOT enter into a mortgage that they could not afford. They did NOT lie on the mortgage application in order to be approved for a home. They waited and waited patiently because they wanted to SAVE MORE MONEY!

Thanks to the United States Government buying up faulty mortgages, the world is crashing around this responsible couple and they are now left renting when they have the savings to buy. Why? Because no one wants to enter into a mortgage right now with anyone who does not have a 750 credit score. HA!

So, Mr. President, here is the question.

In a world where defaults are common, the government is failing, money is just not there and the mortgage systems is the worst in history, how does the government justify helping people who entered into mortgages KNOWING they were lying about their income when people who decided to wait and save before buying are now left with no chance at a mortgage?

Are You Fighting Finances?

Fighting with personal finances is not the way to solve a money problem. Often it is the smaller changes made along the way that will create larger savings in the long run. Saving a penny here or a nickel there may not seem like alot, but it will add up and you will be better off financially for making the effort.

A recent post on another Orble blog struck a cord with me. The Top 10 List posted 10 Ways to Live a Leaner Life. This post is one of the best I have read so far, if I do say so myself. (I am the blogger for the Top 10 blog as well

Pay Bills By Writing Online

The Internet is one of the few places that remains a great source of income. Those of us who are Internet content writers have not felt the hit from the economic downturn as much as the common worker. There are no layoffs online and when one client folds, there is always another one to back that first one up.

When all else fails and the clients dwindle down to nothing, there is blogging to pick up the slack. Writing online is a great way to supplement cash for bills that are simply not getting paid. This CAN include that mortgage that may be inching closer to foreclosure

Save Money For College Starting Today

Okay, so your child is only a few days out of the womb - THAT DOES NOT MATTER! The cost of college will continue to grow and by the time your child is 18 years old - you will need more than $250,000 to afford a college education for ONE CHILD!

Saving for college is not as hard as it may seem. Just like any part of a budget, you need to set aside money. But, this time, that money can not simply go into a savings account somewhere that is accessible. That money needs to be put away for the duration of the 18 years where it can not be touched. There are different bank accounts with limited accessibility that differ from bank to bank. All you need to do is go into the bank and ask about saving money for college. Make sure you tell them you do not want to touch the money for at least 5 years. A better option is more like 10 or 15 years, but let's start out small

The Heart of the United States Economic Decline

Will the economy ever rebound?

It wasn't until last evening that I truly understood how the United States economy declined ever so quickly. At the heart of the decline was Wall Street and the fall of Fannie Mac and Freddie Mac. These two giants used to run the mortgage business with strict rules and qualifications for mortgages. When the World Trade Centers were bombed, the world took a different path that left these regulations behind
