029 DSR – There Are No “Drive Thru” Breakthroughs

July 29, 2012 — Leave a comment

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

If you’re looking for a financial breakthrough, there’s something you need to know.  There are no “drive thru” breakthroughs.  Breakthroughs are a process.  You are going to be directly involved in the change that can come about in your financial life.  That’s if you are willing and take action.

How cool is that?  You’re in control.  We have to stop being passive observers in our lives, especially our financial lives.  We’ve been trained to look toward government for answers.  We idly stand by and wait for The Federal Reserve chairman to utter words of prophecy.  Prophecy my butt!

Realize you’re 100% responsible for your current financial situation.  Period.  End of discussion. Understand there’s only one economy, your economy, that you can work on right now.
What action can you take?  Listening to this podcast is a start.

The High Cost of Healthcare:
Inspired by newsletter subscriber Jun Arranguez’s email question: “Why was a medicine $1,500 at my local drug store, but $2,000 at the hospital?”
 
Questions:
Who is The Food & Drug Administration?
Why is healthcare so expensive?  (high technology vs high price mean price should be cheaper).
Why are drugs so expensive? (Cartel Monopoly or free market?)

Recommendation:

http://www.realityzone.com (books on health issues)

Action:
Make a commitment to improve your health.
Start with something small.
The healthier we are, the less we need the industry.

026 How to Get Out of Debt

July 23, 2012 — Leave a comment

Podcast: Play in new window | Download


How do you get out of debt? You have to sit down with pen/paper and track your money. How much is coming in and how much is going out? If there’s more going out than coming in, you need to decrease how much money you’re spending.

Entertainment and eating out at restaurants are two big areas where money leaks out of our budget. Alcohol and tobacco are two big areas of “ouch” for some of us.

Making money isn’t the problem. What we do with the money we make is the problem.

Recommended resource:
Larry Winget’s:
You’re Broke Because You Want to Be

Questions:
Where Do I Start?
Start by spending less than you earn or make more than you make now.

Action:
Use our Put it On Paper worksheet.

025 – Interview With Ahyh Maxey

July 21, 2012 — Leave a comment

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

We spend an hour with an amazing teacher, author, and intellectual tour de force: Ahyh Maxey.

The practical side of finance as well as the spiritual side are discussed at length. Merging the two is critical to long term peace.

You can find Ahyh at:
yhwh.com

Action:
Buy a small notepad.

Keep it in your pocket for 2 months. Write down every dollar you spend or give. At the end of two months you’ll know exactly where your financial “problem” is. It’s where/how you spend your money. We must ask ourselves, “Do I spend money on the things I truly value?” This is a critical action step toward self discovery.

Book recommendation:

022 The Value of Paper Money

“Mountain Hours” Currency -Time to Reflect on Value of Paper Money
This blog is inspired by the above article that can be found at:
www.wealthcycles.com

“Since 1914, we’ve borrowed every dollar into existence.
We pay interest on every dollar in existence.
That interest is paid to a private bank, the Federal Reserve.
The world’s largest banks, not the government, own the Federal Reserve.
The United States can’t pay off its debt . . . it can only borrow more to pay the interest.
Our government created income tax so we can pay this interest.” – Mike Maloney
