Dear reader,

Money is such a fervent subject. But there is a thought I had on it that you might care to consider.

If you really want something, it does not matter how much money it costs, you will get it somehow!

This was brought home to me when I was finding out how much it would cost to get an MBA degree on-line.

I contacted ( or more accurately they contacted me after one click on an ad) 4 online universities.

Colorado Tech University. An MBA costs about $30,000 and you get your MBA from a prestigious university with lots of assistance from the staff. The registrar/enroller was very good as she helped me firm up the reasons for getting a degree and being committed to doing it. She was not happy that I did not have my life organized for starting right away, but instead in the New Year. But she was very helpful, and was willing to look for ways around the problem I have on finance. I do not have any financial resources at all and would need a grant. The probability of getting a grant from the government is rather remote as I am not a citizen of the USA but a permanent resident. So I will have to find the funds myself. Thus I am not likely to attend CTU.

Incidentally there is a $50 fee for the application. I thought it was a scam, but it appears not as the other 3 on-line universities are also asking for such a fee!

Phoenix University is also a candidate. But again, the MBA will cost about $30,000 but the name is a good one.

AIU also put in a bid and they are about $20,000 which is easier to look at but still out of my range.There is a very real advantage with this university as it has branches in London and Dubai and thus is an international entity which makes for for more reputation and is well accredited

WGU looks quite likely. The cost is $2,700 per half year. Now the duration of the training could be 18 months which is $8,100 which is really quite a better proposition. the name is not at all famous, but the knowledge is the same as the University is accredited. this means that the curriculum is approved by the Dept of Education and follows the guidelines of what is needed for such a degree.

So, let's say I want to have a very prestigious degree. then ideally I would go to Harvard. But I can not do that so CTU would be a top choice in my view just ahead of Phoenix. but I can not come up with the bucks. So it looks like WGU will get my business after I pony up the funds! I will apply for a scholarship of course as that would put off the financial pain.

Now, by no means consider this to be a final say on the matter! I have yet to have my interview with the registrar for Phoenix University which will be face to face. And there is more I need to read on AIU and WGU and make comparisons amongst the MBA curriculums. So I'm afraid you might have to return to this blog to see what I come up with.

bottom line is that I get the data. With that knowledge I can have the tools to take the reins in some company (probably in a senior, but not ultimate position) and prove my worth. As to the point of the money, try as I could, I could not work out $30,000 for going to CTU. My cards are stretched to as far as I can go with the income I am now getting. I reckon I could stretch to $3,000 more which puts me in the realm of WGU.

There are non-personal reasons to run a company and I will go more into that next time I am on this Blog. Money is not everything, which is something you can say only when you have enough of it!

Thanks for your interest

Monopoly Men (Federal Reserve Fraud) (1999)

The Federal Reserve, or the Fed as it is lovingly called, may be one of the most mysterious entities in modern American government. Or more accurately in American business! Created during Wilson's presidency to protect the economy in times of financial turmoil, its real business remains to be discovered. During the Wilson presidency, the U.S. government sanctions the creation of the Federal Reserve. Thought by many to be a government organization maintained to provide financial accountability in the event of a domestic depression, the actual business of the Fed is shrouded in secrecy. Many Americans will be shocked to discover that the principle business of the Fed is to print money from nothing, lend it to the U.S. government and charge interest on these loans. Who keeps the interest? Good question. Find out as the connective tissue between this and other top-secret international organizations is explored and exposed. Once you have insight into this organization, you will then see what is happening in the business world and take measures to secure your future. Wasn't there a recent law that made it more difficult to declare bankruptcy? Would that make it easier for a bank to collect the money owed albeit over a long period of time? View the video and ask some questions, do some searches for more data, but become more aware of the economic treadmill we are being forced or coerced into walking!

Dear Folks,

I'm in! I have a job paying $10 an hour which per my mentor is peanuts. But peanuts is better than nothing!

However, it brings to the fore the value of spending only enough to get by. Every penny has to be watched as it might escape into the black hole! There are many temptations displayed on the internet as I look around for accommodation. So! What keeps me from being tempted? THE GOAL. I continually remind myself of the GOAL to be out of debt and independently funded. I have the dream of sitting in a small place with a view with Classical Music pouring out of some rather decent speakers with the nearest neighbour miles away, reading a book I'm enjoying, with a glass of wine standing by on a small table. Besides, I do not need another cell phone, nor another magazine, or a new lounge suite. I can have those later when i have a load of money to get it with.

So that is the concept.

I have a GOAL and my eye is on that GOAL.

Until next time!

This week I have been out and about in search of a job. I wrote a resume and it was 4 pages long! The reference book I had said 3 pages max! Oh boy! So I cut it back to 2 1/2. A friend of mine looked at it and said it was too low key! Well now that could well be true as we do not really go out of our way to say how good we are in New Zealand. "But this is America!!!!" he said. And so it is! So back to the resume file again!

Now, he looked over the resume and said that it would have gotten me a clerical job, but from what he knows of me, I could get an Executive position. Imagine that. Going from a $25,000 job to a $100,000 just by highlighting a bit which had been placed at the end of the resume.

Now doesn't that tell you a bit about how you market yourself affecting how you get recompensed?

Money is attracted to those who fit the part in the estimation of the employer. So your resume is more an ad of how you can yourself meet the needs of the employer.

I just mentioned I could do spreadsheets and I got offered a $10 an hour job. Not a lot, but when you have bills to pay and nothing coming in, definitely something to jump at! So start off with this, lts see what happens when I mention I have been trained as an executive!

Cheers for today

Dear folks,

I've found a way to make a lot of money with my computer from home!

On my recent holiday I was looking at how I was going to make a living. I knew I needed to get a new job when I got back, but starting with a fresh slate, what should I do next?

Funny thing happened. I picked up a book in the local library which is in the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series of books. This was about the Investor quadrant of employee, self employed, business owner, investor and how these four types of money earner inter-related and the strategy they should each apply to achieve their goal. It got me to thinking what I wanted to achieve and where I wanted to be in 10 years time.

MY father told me to work hard, and save up for what I wanted. He is well off, but not yet RICH. RICH DAD advised a bit differently. To spend less than you make AND invest in ASSETs. Now an ASSET is defined as an item that earns you money just by having it. For example a car is an ASSET only if you hire it out and get money back on it more than it costs to register,insure,repair,gas-up. That is a totaly new view!

Now, I failed to take the advice of MY dad and am now in debt! So I have focused on what to do to earn money. I'm looking for a job. I have no idea how hard it is going to be as so far I have typed up my resume and one cover letter, I have an interview on Tuesday for a sales job at an electronics retailer. But what will it take to earn a LOT of money? A retailer shop assistant's pay will cover enough for a room in a house and some food and travel costs and that will be it!

So I looked for something extra.

I have found a great Home Business which is most successful for others I have seen working with it. It involves personal contact usually and there is a presentation you can do right off the internet. I use the products every day and am extremely happy with them. The way forward is to get in touch with a few people along with my trusty lap-top. But I want to do more in between the down times when I am not presenting. So what else is there?

I found it! It's how to make money using my faithful laptop. I can sit in a coffee shop and sup my tea, and type away. Now how about that! I'll let you know how well I do at it, but I have seen success stories where the person made $300 overnight! It does involve a bit of typing, and following instructions, but from where I sit, it is quite the way to go.
So here goes! I'm on my way to my fortune!
