NUMBERS NEVER LIE



What do numbers really mean? There are all kinds of numbers. License plate numbers, numbers when we visit our favorite fast food restaurants, #5 or # 1 please. Gas stations have numbers can I get $20 on pump 7 and of course we all know about social security numbers. I have been thinking about our numbers a lot lately and here is what I came up with. I thought I would share them with you. Perhaps they mean something, perhaps they don't.

Life...


Life. It is what it is, a constant change of events, circumstances and situations. Raymond Feist said "Life is problems, Living is solving problems." In life there will be changes that occur but you must keep on living. Our goal is to help your transition through some of the changes that life throws your way, make them more manageable, less stressful and calculate your plan for recovery. Whether it was divorce, unemployment, foreclosure, whatever it might have been that swept the rug from under your feet financially; we may have a plan to help you get back on track. The first step is admitting that you need help. No this is not a 12 step program, however we do believe in being honest with yourself. Are you a bad money manager? Are you living above your means? Is fear holding you back? Second you must take action. If you never take action, absolutely nothing can change in your life. Third you must create a realistic plan to take back control over your life. There is nothing that can send you reeling backwards quicker than a poorly planned escape. We can assist you formulate a realistic plan that you can adhere to and commit to until your personal goals are accomplished. Last but not least you must make up in your mind that you are ready for change. You may ask, if I am honest, take action and create a plan, am I not already making a change mentally? No this is not always the case. You must make a paradigm shift that you will never go back. Whatever it is that caused you to go down this path, you will never go back down this path. Whether it’s a bad relationship, certain environment or addictive behaviors disguised as innocent pleasures, you can never go back down that road. We have all heard stories of people who make all of the afore mentioned changes but perhaps months, years or decades later are back in the same or worse predicament. You must never bring ANY of the negative stimuli with you into your new life. The ball is now in your court, it’s up to you to change. Change is indeed inevitable. You will either change for the good or the bad but I can assure you that you will change. The path you take is totally up to you.

Rebound Shopping

Rebound Shopping
by Tonya Foster

Didn't get what you want for Christmas? Passed up on buying that item that was a little too expensive to by someone else something? Then you may be susceptible to rebound shopping.

We may have heard the term rebound as it relates to basketball. It is when one player shoots the ball and misses a shot, then another player catches the ball as it comes off the rim before any of the other players has a chance to grab it.

Perhaps we may be more familiar with rebound relationships. This is where an individual is in a very meaniful relationship then that relationship ends then another person hops quickly back into another relationship without properly healing emotionally.

In both of the previously mentioned scenarios the latter happens quickly usually without much thought. This happens everyday to consumers, especially the week after Christmas. According to retail industry of http://www.about.com 43% percent of people planned to make a purchase on December 26th and 47% of U.S. consumers said they would be doing more shopping in the week between Christmas and New Year's.

The danger is that this behavior can cause consumers to go even deeper into debt than what they already did before Christmas. This is further complicated by after Christmas sales offered by retailers with promises of never before seen savings. Coupled with "holiday euphoria" this further complicates budgeting and planning for the upcoming year, often resulting in this continuous cycle year after year.

Plan to make a budget to avoid repeating the same steps this upcoming year, also check with your bank to see if they offer Christmas Club savings accounts. These accounts allow you to save a set amount each month to reach a predetermined year end goal. Whatever you decide make sure you take time to think about the consequences of your purchases both immediate and future.
