Upsiding the Downturn (filing bankruptcy)

November 18th, 2008 admin Posted in finance No Comments »

By Colin Tipping

  By any standards, we look to be in a bit of economic mess right now and in many ways the future looks bleak and uncertain. If you are in danger of losing your home or your job, you know this only too well. If you are in a predicament like this, I don’t doubt that you are feeling fearful, angry and worried about your future. Who wouldn’t be?

But as you may know, in the Chinese language the same character is used to mean both danger and opportunity. Knowing, as you do, a little more about how the Universe works than do most people, might you perhaps be wondering whether there could be an opportunity contained in this situation for you?

I don’t know, any more than you do perhaps, what that opportunity might be at this time, but I have met many people in my life who told me that losing a job or being made redundant was the best thing that ever happened to them. Something else far better opened up for them and it changed their lives. Does it work for everyone? No. But it sure does work for some.

“How can I make that happen for me, then?” you might well ask. “How can I create that kind of opportunity for myself given the predicament I am in now?

There are two ways to answer this question. First, it has to be seen as an issue of consciousness. Second, there are some practical steps you might want to take that will help you move into the energy of new possibility. I will deal with the consciousness issue first.

To become open to new opportunity, you need to develop a consciousness that will draw that opportunity to you. By that I mean developing a willingness to see the Universe as being infinitely abundant and trusting that you are always supplied as needed. It is also being willing to accept that the situation you are in at this moment is self-created, and you have chosen it for your soul’s growth. This empowers you because you accept that you are responsible for creating your life, which in turn means you (your Higher Self) can actually manifest the opportunities you want.

Now, of course, we all know that developing this abundance consciousness is not easy, especially if you are already in trouble. The fact is you need tools to help you. The best technology I know for this is Radical Manifestation. It provides tools that work, not by reprogramming your monkey-mind, but by using your own innate Spiritual Intelligence to connect directly into what David Bohm, the noted physicist, calls ‘the implicate order.’

Bohm says that everything that ever was, is, or will be is enfolded as potential in the implicate order just waiting to be released and made ‘explicate’ through our conscious intention to make it happen. When you use the tools of Radical Manifestation, your Spiritual Intelligence does this for you. This is the best way I know of creating the space for the desired opportunity to occur. It puts the Law of Attraction into action for you.

Now let me provide some further food for thought about how you might take some practical steps to place yourself in the flow of opportunity and increase your income.

One of the principles of Radical Manifestation is that while we need to give our manifestation requests over to Spirit, we also need to go on with life and to be in action about what we have asked for in the only ways we know how. In other words, we have to give Spirit something to work with.

Define Your Purpose

One really important action step to take that could lead you in the right direction and raise your consciousness is to first discover, define and refine your purpose or your mission. Nothing is more likely to put you in the flow of your right and perfect life’s work than doing this. Even if you are not in the position of possible job loss or income decline, creating a strong statement of purpose will enhance what it is you already do and pull you forward into even greater possibility.

When people who develop clarity about their purpose lose their jobs, they usually attract work to them eventually that is much more in alignment with who they are. (Note: Sometimes people subconsciously “create” losing their jobs in order to force themselves into a move of this kind). The job they “lost,” may have been OK for providing money and benefits, but it didn’t feed their soul. Losing their job gave them an opportunity to evaluate their lives and make a decision to do something more meaningful.

Being of Service to Others

What this often turns out to be is doing something that enables them to be of service to others. Over the years we have noticed that this is nearly always the primary motivation for people who enroll in our professional, online certification programs.

It is in times like these that we need to look for the opportunities both to raise our consciousness and to make the necessary adjustments in how we are living and working. These are not in opposition to each other. In fact, they are two sides of the same coin. As we make practical and down-to-earth changes in our lives in response to events while at the same time raising our consciousness then we shall be guided by Spirit towards doing that which is in our highest and best interest. So stay calm while everyone is panicking, do what seems to be right in the moment and trust the Universe to take care of the details.

Advantages of Online Refinancing and Debt Consolidation (bankruptcy loan)

November 18th, 2008 admin Posted in finance No Comments »

By Anthony Roberts

  If you are one of the millions of Americans experiencing financial difficulties these days, then it is always best to know the pros and cons of certain options being offered to you. New York refinance programs are available to many in order to provide financial control and rehabilitation for an individual who is undergoing financial difficulties. If you have several existing loans and feel that the accumulated monthly payments have become a huge burden to you or to your family, then you might want to consider debt consolidation through a New York refinance agency.

Debt consolidation is generally the process of combining all existing debts into one single debt. This way, all separate debts which incur separate monthly bills and separate interests will be consolidated into one, thus, making the payment terms easier and lighter on the side of the debtor. Debt consolidation through a New York refinance company can easily be done online or offline.

Debt consolidation has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The first advantage is that you get to combine all existing loans into one debt so you no longer have to juggle all the payments. With this kind of debt consolidation, numerous financial companies will finally get off your back and all you have to do is deal with only a single lender. In reality, having to deal with only one company can get a heavy load off your back which leads to less stress and less financial harassment.

Having an online New York refinance company handle your refinancing and debt consolidation can also provide you with new and flexible payment terms. If you want to pay lower monthly payments, then existing loans and payments can be stretched over a reasonable time frame. This means that you can adjust the payment term of the new loan so you can have more control over your monthly payments.

Another advantage to having a New York refinance company handle your online debt consolidation is that you can be assured of expert guidance and step-by-step instruction on how to do the entire refinancing process. If you do not feel comfortable with having to deal with financial people within an office, then you can finish the entire process of inquiry, application and management in the comforts of your own home because of the online option.

Consolidating debt and refinancing your existing loans though a New York refinance agency can provide a debtor with many conveniences. Primarily, it answers your financial problems by providing you the option to have longer payment terms, lower interests, and more manageable single loan.

Car and Automotive Loan Refinancing Tips
By Anthony Roberts

  With the difficult financial times looming over us, it is but natural to think of numerous ways to take more control of our finances. As wise people would do, difficult financial times are the best times to finally take over your finances and think of ways on how to lighten the burden of financial responsibilities. If you have existing loans and payments such as home mortgages, car payments, credit bills, and the never-ending regular monthly bills which needed to be taken cared of, it is wise to consider the different options such as New York refinance to simplify your financial troubles.

One way to make loan and bill payments easier is to undergo a refinancing program. If you have an existing car loan and you want to make payments lighter, then a New York refinance scheme can possibly help you iron-out this monthly financial burden. Here are some tips you might find useful when planning to get a car loan refinancing:

Understand what refinancing is. The first step to a New York refinance is to fully understand what it is. Refinancing simply involves making a new loan to pay off all existing loans (car loans or credit loans) from one lender and create a new loan with more flexible terms, lower monthly payments, and possible lower interest rates.

Lower monthly payments? If you want to have lower monthly payments compared to the monthly payment that you make on your current car loan, then a New York refinance might solve that problem. A New York refinance program can lower monthly payments by extending the term of payment.

Shorter payment term? If you want to avail for a New York refinance because you want to change a long payment term, then it is also possible. You will be able to shorten the payment period by paying higher monthly payments but with lower interest rates and without any early payment penalties. This can prove to lead to more savings and a loan that gets easily paid.

Learn to compare quotes and companies. While your objective and goals are clear, it is still very essential to be able to choose from a variety of options. Choose the perfect New York refinance company. Compare interest rates and fees so you can get the best offer available. Do not hesitate to ask questions and ask the details of agreements. It is always better to be prepared than regret your decision in the end.

The benefits of student credit cards (filing bankruptcy)

November 16th, 2008 admin Posted in finance No Comments »

By Victoria Hemingway

  For many students a student credit card is the perfect way to enter the world of credit cards. Student credit cards help students to take advantage of the many benefits associated with credit cards including convenience, safety, rebates and much more. Student credit cards are a great training ground for the future. For many students this will be their first introduction to fiscal responsibility and the consequences of misusing credit.

Student credit cards help students gain hands-on experience regarding various aspects of credit cards and their use. Most credit card issuers include a small guide that will help students to gain a better understanding of credit cards upfront. Students learn more and more with each and every transaction on their credit card as they experience the many benefits associated with a good student card. Smaller credit limits will insure a student does not get too far indebt while they learn financial responsibility. An important but often overlooked benefit is the time that a student credit card can save for a student. As we know, time is very a valuable commodity for students. By using their credit card to make their purchases online they not only can save lots of money, but can actually save a lot of time as well.

A great benefit of a student credit card is a short term loan. In times of low cash flow when a typical student is strapped for cash the credit card can provide a much needed injection of funds. This is especially important if the student needs to purchase books, food, rent, or important school supplies. Moreover, cash back cards are great ways for students to reduce the overall costs of their routine purchases. Many credit cards offer up to 5% cash back on certain types of purchases. And as long as the bills are paid a student will always have the security of a credit card to make those emergency purchases if the need arises.

When students use their credit cards they build their knowledge base. This knowledge becomes handy when they are out of college, have a career and are searching for a loan or a good non-secured credit card (i.e. credit cards which have fewer restrictions, higher credit limits versus a student credit card). Therefore student credit cards train students to make knowledgeable credit card decisions in adult life. Hopefully this will help the student to build a solid credit history and to avoid the trap of credit card debt as they use their credit more and more.

With so many advantages student credit cards are really an essential for every student.

Micro Loans Help Small Business Grow (bankruptcy lawyer)

November 16th, 2008 admin Posted in finance No Comments »

By Tom Mack

  Recently I spent some time in the country of Ukraine, while there I decided to seek out budding entrepreneurs in the rural countryside villages to see for myself the impact of micro loans. What I found is that when people have the opportunity to go into business for themselves, particularly in impoverished communities, that poverty can be averted.

I believe that entrepreneurship is the key to lifting individuals, families and communities out of poverty. In developing countries being in your own business is often the only way out of poverty.

Myself, I am in the finance business and am very interested in how financing impacts the developing world. As a business owner myself I am also looking for opportunities to give back, ways to give another entrepreneur a leg up.

Micro loans are loans made to poor entrepreneurs living in poverty who are not considered bankable. These individuals lack collateral, steady employment and verifiable credit history. They can not meet even the most minimal qualifications to gain access to traditional business credit.

In Ukraine, the rural countryside is predominately farmland with a few small houses (called dachas) scattered in between. Gas stations are scares, it is best to keep the tank full, you ever know when that will be the last station you see all day.

In larger villages you will find the Bizarre. Its the central marketplace, an outdoor flea market where merchants set up their shop daily. Their spaces are small and seem to lock up securely at night.

People sell produce grown on their farms or in their yards. Some had dairy products like milk, cream, butter and cheese. Others sold eggs and assorted chicken parts. There was even someone selling fish which is pretty scary considering the nearest ocean is hundreds of miles away and the only river is the Dnieper which flows down from Chernobyl Russia.

Other merchants displayed merchandise they had purchased - presumably in bulk / wholesale and were selling it at retail. Its very interesting to note that these merchants tend to be specialists in what they sell. For example, a merchant who sells ladies jeans and tops would not sell anything else. Someone else sells coats, another sells bras, another sells dresses and yet another sells socks.

In the line of hygiene products you can buy soap, shampoo and toothpaste from one vendor but will need to go down the isle to buy a toothbrush. I know - I had to do it. And by the way “dental floss” does not seem to exist there.

Interesting merchants in the Bizarre included someone selling pet food for cats, dogs, birds and pigs. Someone was selling plumbing parts for faucets, sinks and toilets. Even tools and auto parts. You name it, you can find it. The bizarre is kind of like an outdoor Wal-Mart with a dozens of individual merchants.

Many people in these villages are poor and to a large extent live off their land. Jobs are few and the pay is low. Poverty is a chronic condition for much of Ukraine, the one thing these people need to transform their lives is an “Opportunity.” One such opportunity is to start or expand their own business but that requires money.

But where can this budding entrepreneur come up with 5000-7500 UAH ($1,000-$1,500 US) necessary to start a business or expand their current business? The answer can be found in micro loans.

Knowing the solution and having the ability to do something about it are often two different things, until now. I lend to entrepreneurs all over the world through Kiva. Kiva is an organization who helps put individuals like you and me together with entrepreneurs in the developing world so that we can make a difference.

Kiva lets you lend to a specific entrepreneur in the developing world - empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty. Its easy, you choose an entrepreneur, loan as little as $25 then receive updates and get repaid as the business succeeds. Each entrepreneur is hard working and hopes to create a sustainable livelihood. All they need is a small loan.

I just made a loan through Kiva to Olga Gryaznova in Simferopol, Ukraine. Olga lives with her mother and sister. She owns a small booth at the central market and sells womens clothing, mostly terry cloth robes. Due to good marketing strategy, reasonable mark-up and renewed assortment, she is able to attract many clients.

Her gross revenue is about 13,000 UAH per month ($2,600 US). The net income is about 2,000 UAH ($400 US). Olga has been working in this business for 12 years. At that time she just could not find any other job. Being a very responsible and honest person she was able to start and develop this business to provide for herself, her mother and her sister.

Olga would like to get a loan for 5,000 UAH ($1,000 US) to buy more terry cloth robes and increase her sales. She hopes that increased sales activity will generate the funds they need to fix their house.

When you make a loan, you are helping a real person to make great strides towards economic independence and to improve life for themselves, their family, and their community.

I have learned first and the importance of micro loans and how a small amount of money can change someones life, lift a family out of poverty and empower a communality to be self sufficient.

We just started a lending team at Kiva, right now we have a handful of lenders and were growing every day. The team is named after our business “Super Easy Credit” I hope you will join us. A link to our team and my Kiva portfolio is available on our website.

How A Personal Loan Can Benefit You
By Chloe Ramsbottom

  Personal loans can be a great asset when used under the right circumstances and can help rescue you from many difficult situations that can arise. As long has you have the financial abilities to pay it back you can spend the money whenever, and on whatever you wish to. So whether you are saving for a family holiday, planning to buy a motorbike or a car, adding supplementary funds for a wedding or looking to purchase a new computer for the home-office then a personal loan is the way to go.

The further benefits of taking out a personal loan include repairing your credit score or rating; if you are in the unfortunate position to have a poor credit rating through large debts then a personal loan can come into play in helping you to consolidate any outstanding loans you have into one main loan. Helping settle the APR to a fixed figure and saving you a lot of money in the long term, especially is you are consolidating any credit cards which usually carry a much higher APR than loans. Just make sure that all payments are made on time and are the exact sum that they are asking for.

Personal loans can be obtained through the Internet quite easily, and they can be completed in a few minutes of your spare time, and are a confidential way of borrowing money so you dont have to let anyone know you have done it. Whats more is that the funds are added to your bank account usually within 24 hours.

If you are choosing to borrow in excess of 20,000 it is usually a good idea to get it secured as there is a lot more at stake than borrowing, lets say, 100, which can be borrowed unsecured.

Ease The Financial Strain For The New Year
By Alisdair Cosgrove

  If you have spent this year struggling with your finances and straining to make ends meet then you are not alone, as this has been a very difficult and turbulent year for most families when it comes to household finances. With inflation having hit a sixteen year high and credit conditions still tight due to the global credit crunch it is little surprise that so many families are finding it difficult to make ends meet. Many are looking at ways to try and east their finances, and if you want to enjoy easier financial management in the coming year it is a good idea to start sorting things out now.

Although you may not realise it there could actually be a number of ways in which you could save money on your monthly outgoings, and this could result in a far more positive financial outlook for 2009. Many of us waste a fair amount of cash without even being aware that we are doing it, so a little more vigilance and care could go a long way towards easing the strain on our finances.

When looking at streamlining your finances you need to be very thorough, and this means going through each of your repayments to check whether there are any cutbacks you can make. Of course, you can’t cut back on necessary payment such as your rent or mortgage and your bills, but you may find that you are making payments on unnecessary subscriptions and memberships, and by cutting these out you could save yourself a fair amount of cash each month.

Make cutbacks on the amount that you spend each month by reducing the amount of money that you allocated for things like going out or buying clothes. You can substitute a few nights out with some great nights in, and it won’t cost nearly as much. For example, instead of eating out every week, enjoy some nights in making home cooked meals, and instead of regular trips to the cinema enjoy some DVD’s that the whole family can watch for one price.

If you tend to have a lot of people to buy birthday and other gifts for over the course of the year this can really impact on your savings. You can help to combat this problem by thinking ahead, making a list of all the gifts that you have to buy for the year, and then buying them all in the January sales when most items are just a fraction of the original price. This alone could save you a fortune over the course of the year.

Another way in which you can reduce your outgoings and improve your finances is by reviewing your debts and working out whether you can cut back on the amount that you pay on them each month. For example, if you have a lot of high interest smaller debts you could save yourself money and hassle by consolidating them and paying just one larger, lower interest loan.
