— Money Talks

Being an accountant I know for a fact how important having purchasing power is. You are old, no longer has a job to get a monthly income from. How will you find money then? It is not very common to find really old persons with money to dispose of. But if you prepare for your old age now, then you will have something to get income from.

You will have purchasing power and all with the help of the Missoula, MT wealth management group. You need let them take care of your finances so you are sure you have a lot when you are no longer capable of working.

Some college courses require the students to undergo on-the-job training. This is part of the learning process of the student, to get to know what’s really out there and what entails the course they took. I know that some students find a hard time looking for a company who will really give them the kind of work they will do. Instead they are always given menial tasks just to complete the hours needed to pass the subject.

With the Austin beauty school Regency Beauty Institute, students are training while studying. They are doing both while in campus! They are supervised by the faculty while applying what they learned through services offered to the public.

So students who want to go into the beauty industry, make sure you check out RegencyBeauty.com and see how you can learn and train at the same time.

One of the things I learned from my mom was to always choose the things I will spend more on. Weight the cost against the length of benefits I will get from anything I buy. For example, I can buy a cheap spatula but not cheap pots and pans as the latter can easily get holes and leaks and a broken pot or pan can cost me a wasted meal or two. Get my drift?

One bedroom item that I spend more on is the bed linen. Do you know why? The benefits I will get from a good quality bed linen far outweighs the cost of it. I don’t like scratchy sheets. Poor quality linens become scratchy after a few washes. You don’t want to spend money on that kind of bed linen.

I am bad with estimates. For an accountant who was so darn good in budgeting, I suck at it at the personal level! I admit as much and I am fully aware of it.

My sister said it right. I should let somebody else do the budgeting at home. I am not really good at it because for one I don’t want to argue about money. I hate discussing about it and then an argument will ensue. As much as possible I avoid a discussion about money and when it is needed I will give it without accounting for it afterwards.

See how much I suck at handling the family finances??

I need to get motivated to get this blog going. I will start with the theme/template. I need to find one that will suit this blog’s overall concept. Financial freedom. I want to find a theme for financial planning and stuff related to finance. Personal finances actually. Now where do I find one?

I also need to organize the categories here. There’s just too many for a single concept blog. I am not yet sure what specific categories it will be but I will narrow it down to three or four.

Another motivation? Photos! I have to use photos and use CC for inspiration to complete entries.

What do you think?

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

If money didn’t matter, I’d most likely have taken up Journalism or B.S. English or Creative Writing. I would have been a writer by now. I would really love to become a novelist and if money didn’t matter to me I would have been a full time novel writer for sure.

writer

Another job I’d most likely pursue if money didn’t matter would have been a book and movie critique. Still connected to writing but incorporating my love for reading books and watching movies. Can you imagine what kind of job that would be just reading and watching all you want and dishing out reviews of it? I would love to be paid for that!

And a job that you wouldn’t see me doing that I would actually love to have been doing now? A hotel receptionist or a tour guide. Ha! I know, not me at all. But I would love to be working in something/a place associated to traveling.

If money didn’t matter to you, what kind of job would you be doing now?

I knew it in my heart. It may take me a couple of years more, when my sisters finally become stable. But it will happen.

Sometime ago, I watched Korina Sanchez’ Rated K show. A segment featured a former domestic helper (DH) becoming a self-made millionaire. She worked hard in Saudi Arabia as a DH, working even during her days off as a caregiver and a manicurist. And all her hard work paid off. She saved enough money and went back to the Philippines to open her own business. She and her husband delivered fishes to clients. Upon saving income from their delivery business, they opened a new business of glass and window cutting.

Hardwork, perseverance, a lot of prayers, trust and confidence… these are things needed for a person to make it. To become millionaires. To become financially stable.

I know someday soon I will make it. I already mapped out everything. All I need to do is to slowly (but surely) start the process.

And I will. Soon.

If I will rate the status of my savings account, I’d say it’s Very Poor. Or Fail might be the proper rating.

I told myself I will save at least 5K every month. It should be in my bank account by the end of each month. But if you check right now, there’s nothing there. Only 20 bucks!

It’s been two months into 2011. I need to make sure that I have 60K in my savings account by the end of this year. Or I really failed in this goal of mine!
