.Uncle Sam Just Used Its Financial Nuclear Weapon Again

Uncle Sam Just Used Its Financial Nuclear Weapon Again

Notes From The Field By Simon Black January 15, 2020  San Juan, Puerto Rico

In August of 1945, the United States became the only country to drop nuclear bombs on an enemy.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were largely destroyed in the blink of an eye. And the Japanese had no choice but to surrender to the Allies, finally ending World War II.

Ever since, world superpowers have been rapidly advancing weapons technology, constantly raising the bar for destructive power.

It won’t surprise you to find out that the most powerful and destructive weapon in the world, though, by far, is claimed by the United States.

But this weapon has nothing to do with America’s nuclear arsenal. It doesn’t even require bullets.

I’m talking about the US dollar.

The US is still the world’s dominant superpower, still the largest economy in the world. And the US dollar is still the world’s dominant reserve currency.

This means that the VAST MAJORITY of international trade and cross-border financial transactions take place in US dollars.

When Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil company sells petroleum to the Chinese, that transaction takes place in US dollars.

.The Best Way to Manage Your Money Isn’t What You’ve Been Told

The Best Way to Manage Your Money Isn’t What You’ve Been Told

By Anne Gaviola  Jan 6 2020

Outdated advice on how to save, budget, and handle your finances doesn’t cut it anymore.

Financial advice should come with an expiry date. Because outdated guidance is like financial sabotage, according to money experts.

As written about in the Wall Street Journal last year, much of the financial advice young people have been given might actually be the opposite of what they’re supposed to be doing with their money.

Young people are delaying or foregoing life milestones like getting married, buying a home, and having kids, so advice that was fine for boomers doesn’t always make sense for the economy that millennials and Gen Z live in. Personal finance expert Robin Taub said precarious employment and changing values are why the old financial playbook needs a refresh.

“We have a sharing and a gig economy now—meaning there are a lot of people that don’t have full-time employment. A lot of freelancers and solopreneurs work for an app like Lyft or Foodora. There’s also been a shift in terms of people not feeling like they have to own things like a car or a house,” she said.

Here are seven pieces of money advice that your parents probably didn’t give you.

1) Set up saving so you don’t have to think about it

The old 50/30/20 budgeting advice suggested allotting half of what you make to essentials like rent and food, 30 percent for fun, and 20 percent savings for “a rainy day.” U.S. presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren famously used this formula in her 2006 book All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Plan, which she co-authored with her daughter. But nowadays, aiming to save 10 percent of your income is probably more realistic. And according to Taub, how you save that is really important.

People Who Take Precaution Seriously Are Well-Protected

Notes From The Field By Simon Black

January 13, 2020 Bahia Beach, Puerto Rico

Do You Have A Backup Generator?

The news headlines read, “Deadly 6.4 Magnitude Earthquake Plunges Puerto Rico into Darkness”; and “Powerful Puerto Rico Earthquake Knocks Out Entire Island’s Power.”

It was enough to prompt my mother to call, four times, to make sure I was OK.

There’s been a string of fairly strong earthquakes lately in Puerto Rico... which is incredibly unusual for this part of the world. It’s been more than a century since the island was rocked by anything of this magnitude.

But I explained to my parents that the press had blown things out of proportion as usual. They were running video footage that made it seem as if the island had been blasted back into the Stone Age.

It’s true that there were some displaced families and property damage near the epicenter.

But most of the island was not substantially affected. None of the major news organizations bothered to show footage of busy shopping malls, crowded restaurants, and packed movie theaters teeming with consumers.

It’s also true that the electrical grid went down: the island was without power for some time. Here in my community, the power came back on after 2 days. Some people had it on after a day, some after 3 or 4 days.

But here’s what people don’t realize-- the electricity problems in Puerto Rico have a lot less to do with the seismic activity, and a lot more to do with the island’s decade-long economic depression.

.5 Lessons From the 'Witch' of Wall Street

5 Lessons From the 'Witch' of Wall Street

The best advice is often timeless.

Karen Wallace, CFP®  Dec 31, 2019

Mentioned: Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK.B)

During the Gilded Age of the late 19th century, a woman named Hetty Green was one of the most powerful financiers in the world. She made the vast majority of her $100 million fortune ($2.3 billion in today’s dollars) herself, investing in railroad stocks and bonds, government bonds, and mining stocks. She also provided loans to cash-strapped businesses and bailed out the city of New York on several occasions.

But high society didn’t quite know what to make of Green. Despite having all the makings of a socialite--a huge fortune and a direct bloodline to the Mayflower settlers--Green preferred to dress plainly and conduct business with men. That Green preferred black, Quaker-style dress to fancy clothes wasn’t the only reason she’s best remembered by the epithet “The Witch of Wall Street,” though.

 Bain News Service, Publisher. Mrs. Hetty Green. [No Date Recorded on Caption Card] Photograph. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division. https://www.loc.gov/item/2014680543/.

Green was much maligned in the press and among her contemporaries, who called her stingy and greedy. People couldn't make sense of this grotesquely wealthy woman who reputedly didn’t give to charity and made a habit of suing people--including members of her own family. Her frugality is legendary: She was even listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “World’s Greatest Miser.”

Unfortunately, Green’s enduring legacy hinges on the “Witch of Wall Street” dichotomy: Discussions of her enormous self-made fortune are typically offset by tales of how cheap and mean she was. Though it’s tempting to dispel a few of these myths and paint a less-wicked picture of Green, doing so ignores the more relevant lessons we can learn from her.

Here are five lessons we can learn from Hetty Green about investing and life.

1. Teach Girls about Business

American women would be much happier if they learned the principles of business in girlhood,[1] Green once told the Ladies’ Home Companion. Indeed, she credited much of her business acumen to lessons learned watching her grandfather run the family business while she was still a girl.

Sun Tzu’s Best Pieces of Leadership Advice

Sun Tzu’s 31 Best Pieces of Leadership Advice

‘If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.’ — Looks like the Trump playbook has borrowed from Sun Tzu

Posted on November 27, 2017 by State of the Nation

Sun Tzu’s 31 Best Pieces Of Leadership Advice

Eric Jackson , Contributor  FORBES

There was no greater war leader and strategist than Chinese military general Sun Tzu.  His philosophy on how to be a great leader and ensure you win in work, management, and life is summed up in these 33 pieces of advice.  They can all be applied by you in your job when you go back to work next week:

A leader leads by example, not by force.

You have to believe in yourself.

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. 

Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.

If the mind is willing, the flesh could go on and on without many things.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?

Follow Your Passion Career Advice is Tragic

Follow Your Passion Career Advice is Tragic

 How to Fix It

Maximize the Value of You (Career)

At Millionaire Foundry we often challenge what we call common wisdom, which are sound bites of financial advice some often hear, accept, and then repeat as truth.

Common wisdom is not all bad and may be well-meaning, but its danger is that it can steer us in the wrong direction, often when it really counts. The results can be disastrous.

One piece of common wisdom career advice that deserves a major challenge is to always Follow Your Passion.

This advice has been repeated so often that its accepted as fact.

And like many pieces of common wisdom, it does contain some truth.

After all, it makes sense that combining work with what really professionally excites us has more potential for success than building our career around something we despise.

But this career advice can be painfully misleading because it misses the principle that we are only rewarded to the degree we leverage our skills to create value for others, and they in turn are willing to compensate us.

We explain the power of this important compensation-for-value principle in Maximize the Value of You.

If your desire is to build wealth, once you’ve identified your career passion, you have to take the second mandatory step of determining the marketplace for the value you’ll create from your focused passion.

A world-class poet may bring joy to millions with engaging poems.

But few poets are financially rewarded for that joy they create because their marketplace – their readers – aren’t willing to provide much monetary compensation for a poet’s output.

Thus a top poet, following their passion by honing their craft for decades, and despite delighting millions with their life’s work, may suffer a starvation-level income.

We can debate whether this is fair, but it doesn’t really matter, because those who make up any marketplace speak very clearly with their wallets.

In this example, consumers are simply unwilling to part with something of value (money) to reward the poet for the value created from their skills, experience and hard work.

If the poet is not interested in monetary compensation, but instead derives their rewards from the joy they create for their audience, then the lack of income doesn’t matter.

.What Video Games Taught Me About Finance

What Video Games Taught Me About Finance

Action-adventure and RPG games are packed with hidden lessons about real world wealth.
 
It started, as many adventures have, in the town of Blackwater on the shores of Flat Iron Lake. I walked into the Gunsmith’s shop to check out his wares and saw the most provocative and expensive weapon I had ever come across—an “explosive rifle,” on sale for $10,000.

Despite the fact that there were many people depending on me, the reformed Wild West outlaw John Marston, to carry out errands for them, I became obsessed with raising the cash to buy the gun.
 
You may have caught on that I’m not referring to real places or people, but rather locations and characters in the 2010 Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption.

Like many fans of the game, I was completely sucked into Marston’s world, which is why I was surprised by how easily the explosive rifle derailed me from the main storyline.

Ever since that frivolous quest, I’ve frequently found myself chasing virtual big ticket items in games like Skyrim or Horizon Zero Dawn, while holding off on other more pressing missions.
 
The result has been some weird lessons about money garnered from video games that are intended to be dazzling narratives, not financial primers.

Because most immersive games mimic the real world to some extent, they weave in at least some rudimentary economic principles—a bank account, means of income, and products that can give you an edge when achieving your goals.
 
These systems are an important functional feature of the playing experience, but they also spotlighted some of my own financial strengths and weaknesses, and reinforced basic principles about real world finance. Here’s some examples of ways in which the bank accounts and wish lists of my game characters got me thinking about my money habits in real life. 

Credit Impacts Pricing
 
Like most action-adventure games, it’s fairly easy to rustle up some cash in Red Dead Redemption, so my Marston took off to bag outlaws for the bounties, gamble, collect valuable herbs, and hunt game to sell in general stores.

.Why Is Silver A Better Choice Over Gold?

Why Is Silver A Better Choice Over Gold?

By Muhammad Ali

 I have always favoured Silver over Gold, I have my reasons for making this choice but what are others saying as well?

So I took this question to my friend The Dinarian.  He has a YouTube Channel related to Dinar news and he is very bullish when it comes to Silver.

I wanted to see if what his choices are on silver matches mine.  I contacted him with some questions and here's what he had to say.

Hey The Dinarian, I know you are in favour of Silver over Gold and I wanted to get your opinions and compare notes.  Can you please answer my questions to give my readers another opinion on the matter?

Muhammad: Why do you really favour Silver over Gold?

The Dinarian: I personally like Silver over the precious metal gold for numerous reasons; the first being that I believe silver is currently under-priced, by a huge margin. Your profit potential with silver is huge and the low risk at these price levels makes it that more attractive over gold.

What is it at today $18.00 an ounce or so? In my opinion every household should be holding some of this beautiful piece of real money in today’s world of chaos. Just a few years back silver was around $50.00 an ounce and I believe we are heading back to that level and past.

Muhammad: What makes Silver more sought after?

The Dinarian: Silver is more attractive to investors and collectors due to the affordability, profitability and its use in technology, it is simply put, more useful in today’s industries.

While gold has always been known as the go to safe haven by many investors, I personally prefer silver especially as they are shutting mines down these days. There will be less of it available then there is today. For an example silver is highly used in solar cells, and electric automobiles.

As these two industries are being highly pursued by the two biggest economies of the world, the U.S. and China, it will further drive up the demand for silver, as mining the precious metal dwindles.

This alone will provide a huge increase in the price of silver. On top of that, with the world headed into chaos, more and more people are running away from the doomed US dollar and running to safe haven assets, and many just can simply not afford to stockpile gold.

Muhammad: Do you feel in the future it will still be easy to find Silver?

The Dinarian: Absolutely not, as I mentioned in the previous question, the mining of silver supply is going down while the world as a whole is using more. The simply rule of supply and demand will drive the price up, which in turn will cause more and more people to jump on board the silver train.

This will further drive down the availability of silver. On top of that, you have many people such as myself that are invested in the Iraqi Dinar, which will be creating a whole new crowd, that are being primed by blogs all across the world to purchase precious metals. This will further dry up the shiny metal.

Muhammad: Do you think it's wiser to accumulate Silver coins over Silver bars?

The Dinarian: I personally prefer the rounds and bars myself, over either as they are closer to the spot price of silver, which means I can purchase more of it at a cheaper price.

It is really up to the individual investor to choose, Coins can vary in price due to different numismatic reasons, such as the amount of coins made of a various style, region or mintage, while Silver bars also vary with different designs, and they are sold at or just above spot price for the most part.

The rounds as well are sold at or just above spot price but are available in a wider variety of weights.

Let’s face it, look at Iraq for example, if you were in that chaos, would you be worried about the numismatic value of a high priced China Panda coin, or would you want the value of the actual silver itself to trade for food or clothing? 

So you definitely want to have a few fractional rounds in your possession just in case. Let’s face it the world isn’t heading in a friendly direction right now, and you will definitely want something to barter with if need be.

On top of that, the rounds are usually made by a private mintage and have pretty cool designs on them. When all is said and done, I think bars and rounds are the way to go, but that’s just me. Like I said earlier it would be up to the individual investor as to what they choose to hold.

Muhammad: What about buying Silver collectible coins?  Is that a good idea?

The Dinarian: After you have about 100 ounces of rounds and or bars, I would say go for it, get a few. Some of them are beautifully made coins, and very rare. 

Collectible coins also will increase in value as silver increases, as well as time may drive the prices up. It all depends on the desirability of the specific coin.

There are no guarantees in life and this is a prime example. You will be betting that the coin over time will increase in value due to its scarcity or desirability. You would need to find someone that desired that specific coin and is willing to pay the high price you are looking for in the end.

Muhammad: Where do you see Silver levels going in the future in comparison to Gold?

The Dinarian: Realistically I see silver easily hitting $100/oz. short term and $800+ and ounce long term. Just the supply and demand aspect of Silver I believe will drive the price of silver upwards or past the 100 mark. As I explained earlier, the supply of Silver is decreasing due to industrial and investor usage and the demand is ever increasing as people are starting to wake up and realize fiat monies aren’t real money.

Go back to biblical times, they didn’t bring Jesus shells to the manger, they brought him Silver and Gold, the only real true time tested money.

On the longer target of $800 plus, this is based on the fact that a certain bank is currently in a federal lawsuit, as I believe its eight of its traders were caught manipulating the precious metals market.

When the true value of silver shows, I truly believe it has the capability to reach the 800 mark and even go past $1000 an ounce.

If you do your research you will find silver was more expensive than gold in Egypt until around the fifteenth century BC, and as we use more and more of this precious metals reserves up and it diminishes, well let’s just say, Silver is the New Gold.

Muhammad: And how does the above question relate to our returns on Silver investments?

The Dinarian: I think I answered this above.

Muhammad: Many thanks, my friend, for taking the time to answer my questions.

There you go guys, what he said, is exactly my thinking as well, however, I would just like to add to try to have a balance of some physical Gold as well. 

With my Currency Exchange Planner it makes it easy to budget your precious metal purchases and you can adjust the percentage of metals that you want to buy very easily.  It is very important to know and understand the reasons behind and each and every decision that you make when it comes to your planning.

 For example, if you decide to purchase more gold over silver, why?  Or if you decide to purchase more silver over gold, again know why you've made that decision.  Having a clear mind and a clear plan is what will position you to be among those who are in the 20-30% that will retain their wealth for the long run.

Never lose sight that 85% of the millionaires created during the Kuwaiti RI, went broke in 5 months.  We do not want to be part of that group.  So it is important to reason and rationale each and every decision that you make in your planning.

Now, before I end my article, I just wanted to leave you with another article from the New York Times that confirms what I have written before regarding the Smart Money and Market Manipulation. 

The author of this article refers to it as a conspiracy in the Silver Markets, however, there is no conspiracy about it; it is the Smart Money aka the Profession Traders at play.

A Conspiracy With a Silver Lining

https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/a-conspiracy-with-a-silver-lining/

So please check the Articles' page of my website and find the article that I wrote about "My Thoughts on Gold and Silver" and how I explained about the Smart Money and what I feel will happen to precious metals after RV.  The more you understand the more you are aware, and then when things go chaotic you won't be the one trembling.

Thank you everyone and I hope you found some benefit in my article.  I also wish to thank The Dinarian for his input on Silver; you can visit his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvrWtma4GYpkIbPaNLBb4zg

And please take a look at my other articles on Iraq and the RV and please take a look at my software, The Currency Exchange Planner.

Thank you  Muhammad Ali

The Year of the Light

The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer

 When the TRUTH Will Prevail

The Importance What Media Means to Government

Misinformation That Discloses the New World Order

What Is Needed Is Overpowering Uncontrollable Mass Awakening

Your Freedom Begins With Your Consciousness

Deep State Media Will Be The Last To Fall

The Mainstream media may be more widespread because they are better funded but while they have the power of money, we the people have the power of many. And we have the facts on our side. We need to unite in our fight against the cabal’s disinformation apparatus, there are many ways in which everyone can help.

The general public at large doesn’t realise it; but executives and top journalists of almost all major media outlets are members of influential Councils and Secret Societies, shaping our fake world. But, the truth is coming out in front for all of us to hear and see. Unless people ignore the obvious, as many have been doing for too long.

Be ready, the foundation of society will be shaken, even if people look the other way, because everyone is going to face the new reality.

All over the planet is no more room for lies and deception, or running away from the truth. Humanity is soon to learn the irrelevance and stupidity of the current financial system that has enslaved everyone since the Anunnaki arrived on Earth.  In the new year of light 2020, fear doesn’t exist any longer.

The master manipulators, are the corporate kings of the modern world. They have learned the secret that every ruler since the dawn of civilisation has known: Whoever controls the narratives is believed by a society, and in control of that society. And that is exactly what President Trump and the Patriots are doing.

The media, is to government and their control system very important.. It is with their ownership of the financial system their most valuable tool. They can push away any thoughts or arguments that do not serve their agenda. That is what mass media news is all about.

All innocent, honest positive news can be brushed aside. – The Trump Team has said from the beginning that the Deep State Media will be the last to fall. People are now witnessing the downfall of the mainstream media happening in real time. 

The Importance What Media Means To Government

Don’t trust the mainstream media to explain the socio-geo-political processes shaping our world with any real accuracy and certainly not without infusing it with their own insidious 2030 agenda. That is in a nutshell the essence for our mutual fight against disinformation, and there are many ways everyone can help. A first step is to sharing this article and many previous ones, with all your friends and family, to get them waking up, and start realizing what’s going on.

The Deep State Media didn’t just happen one day. It dates back to hundreds of years ago. Media has always been a part of the cabal tactics. Be aware that government Intelligence took control of the media as early as 1948 and probably even earlier.

 Try to appreciate the importance what media means to government and the control system, then push away any thoughts of the unrealistic argument that mass media news is all somehow coincidental and innocent honest news. If you really believe this, then you are in deep trouble and need to get help upon waking up.

 The Protocols of Zion are the Blueprint for the Deep State’s One World Government-control-operation, that testifies; “In our official statements, we will deceptively use an opposite view, and always do our best to appear noble and cooperative. The words of a statesman do not have to correspond to his actions.” Likewise, PM Theresa May demonstrated with her Brexit endeavour!

The Protocols further explain that the goal of world domination will be achieved by controlling the thinking of the public by monitoring what it hears and by creating new conflicts or restoring old relationships through hunger, poverty, and the spreading of pests and diseases, seducing and diverting the attention of the youth.

“With the help of these methods and more, we will weaken the countries so that they are forced to offer us control over the world”; at least this is their way of thinking; their goal.

The role of the press serves selfish goals; often mindless; unjust and lying. The majority of the public have no idea of ​​the fact on whose side the press is. We have to keep the press firmly under control. No message may reach the public without our authorisation. (Protocol 12). 

Misinformation That Discloses The New World Order

Control the narratives over economics and commerce and you control economics and commerce. Control the narratives about politics and government and you control politics and government. This control mechanism is used by the controllers to funnel power and money to the Elite, in this way effectively turning society into one giant energy farm for the elite class.

The real message of George Orwell’s 1984 book ‘Big Brother is watching you’, published in 1948; is that once governments are allowed to get too firm a grip on the reins of power – including justice, law enforcement, military, and media – they are not just frightening corruptible but super-hardened to any real change. It is important to understand the belief; that ‘political power corrupts the morals and the judgment’.

 Across Europe is seen how greed and corruption are destroying the fabric of society. Whether it is political, financial or the corporate sector, it’s even in the match fixing in European football. The privileged elite of the Deep State have been pillaging the nation’s wealth for far too long.

Politicians, bankers and corporate bosses have lost all credibility and trust, they are now so rotten there has to be a total change of people and system. All the money that illegally has been taken by bankers and politicians should be returned to the populace; their fiscal shield of amnesty should be abolished.

Politicians and bankers convicted of fraud or illegal activities must face prison sentences.

If you wish to live in a world that is “sophisticated” enough to be a ‘world government’ run by an intellectual elite of Globalists and bankers, then by all means, continue to read the Washington Post, New York Times, Time Magazine, Newsweek, and follow the mainstream media in general to get all your information.

 If, however, the idea of a select coterie of a global intellectual-financial elite running the world does not sound like the ideal society for humanity’s future, we must continue to shine the lights of publicity on the actions of powerful individuals and institutions, bringing a critical eye to their ideologies and actions. The aim is plain: battle the tide of misinformation and disclose the ‘New World Order.’

Today’s structure of the world can hardly be described as liberal or democratic nor open or buoyant in fact the system has turned into fascism. Institutions have been corrupted by unsound money, an intrusive State, and a myriad of bad private decisions made by people and corporations under the influence of too much credit.

Openly the Belgian state promotes fascism by giving every year €400 million to two media magnates to buying-up with taxpayers’ money this year 5 national left leaning daily newspapers. So are, innovation and adaptation stifled by commitments to subsidies and unnecessary debts incurred by corrupt governments, media outlets, politicians and lethargic voters. 

What Is Needed Is Overpowering Uncontrollable Mass Awakening

It may take some time and practice to hone your skills in separating discernible facts from public information that may actually be utter fiction – but the payoff in adopting this attitude can be rewarding.

In addition to saving yourself time and worries by mostly ignoring public information, learning to discern the difference between the two can lead to better decision making, in your everyday life and conclusions.

Going back to the observable, it is known from history what happens when a king or officialdom adopts a policy of energetic currency debasement: the currency units being debased invariably become worth less and lesser until these are worthless. There is no example in history where debasing a currency didn’t drive the purchasing power down over time.

If you take the time to step back and analyse the information you receive in this expose and parse it into that which you know to be true based on your own observations, as opposed to what is popularly accepted as true, simply because it was printed in a news journal or said in a broadcast, your attitude about many things may change.

Our overwhelming uncontrollable mass awakening is what the world’s ruling elite fear the most. Since we greatly outnumber them and their cohorts they wouldn’t know how to deal with us, even with their advanced technology. So the real question is how do we become conscious?

In fact, there are only two kinds of people on earth and not more. Those who want to control and oppress and those who want to be left alone and be free. Life really is that simple. Once we see the simplicity of it all, you can be sure that we will begin to taste ‘true freedom’; mental freedom, which is akin to spiritual freedom which is where true freedom actually begins.

The controllers know that their armoury is a lot more fragile, weaker and more vulnerable than what they have led us to believe. They have simply created a fake reality for us to live in, built on air and false words.

Your Freedom Begins With Your Consciousness

Remember, the foundation of physical freedom is the freedom we tend to think of as the only kind of freedom. On the contrary, before you can truly be free, you must be mentally and spiritually free. Are you taking steps toward the latter? Or are you vulnerable to enslavement with each waking day? You are welcome to share your thoughts below.

Just, become conscious by choosing it. By acting on those synchronicities – meaningful coincidences: Acting on that which calls, moves and inspires us; Acting on and taking action through listening to your inner voice coming from your inner being; paying attention to those gut feelings and basic instincts.

Consciousness means coming from the heart, getting in touch with and going into a state of intuitive knowing. Hence, as a contrast to accessing the internet, consciousness allows us to access our ‘inner net.’

Choosing to become conscious means detaching one’s self from the mind control programming; escaping the effects of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual prison caused by the oppression.

Having broken free from the mind programming and the imposition of others, with multidimensional consciousness, escaping the dualistic confinements of matter, energy and space-time, then anything becomes achievable.

Financial Concerns In A "Broken-Heart Syndrome"

Valuable Estate Lessons From The Passing of George and Barbara Bush

Megan Gorman Senior Contributor   Personal Finance Dec 3, 2018

I write about achieving wealth and how it intersects with our lives

 The death of a longtime married couple in quick succession is often explained as “broken-heart syndrome”

When spouses pass within a short period of time of each other there may be challenges with beneficiary designations.

George H.W. Bush led an extraordinary, well-lived life during an exciting time in American history. In any discussion of his life and accomplishments, his late wife Barbara quickly comes to mind as well.  Theirs is a well-documented and iconic love story.  From the battlefields of Second World War to the White House and beyond, the romance and connection between them was felt by all who saw them together.

That is why George’s death less than eight months after Barbara’s may not really feel like a surprise. The death of a longtime married couple in quick succession is often explained as “broken-heart syndrome” or “widowhood effect” - a romantic notion that two hearts are so entwined that they can’t bear to be without each other. 

George Bush’s death wasn’t specifically due to heart issues, but by all accounts he was ready to go after his final summer in Kennebunkport.

While it is a romantic ending to the Bushes’ time here on earth, the time between their deaths raises practical issues of estate planning. Timing is key in an estate plan and if the deaths of married partners occur within a short period of time, it can make the administration of an estate more challenging.  This issue is not uncommon.

“The statistics are high especially for older couples who had close marriages, dependent on each other,” says Paula Leibovitz Goodwin, partner in the Personal Planning Group at Perkins Coie LLP in San Francisco. “There is complexity when dealing with two deaths.”

Timing Is Key

Awesome Jedi Lessons for Your Money

Awesome Jedi Lessons for Your Money

May 4, 2019  By Mr. The Poor Swiss

 In honor of May 4th (May The Fourth), I gathered some Jedi wisdom for your Personal Finances. I have found 11 inspirational quotes from characters from various Jedi from the Star Wars Universe that could be applied to money lessons.

There are many great quotes in Star Wars. Mostly from the great Master Yoda and his crazy talking that makes him so well-liked. But other Jedi Masters are also generous with wisdom quotes. Most of the quotes do not directly apply to finance. Here are 11 quotes that can apply to your personal finances.

May the Force be with you. Yoda

May the Force be With Your Finances! If you follow these Jedi lessons, you may well become a Jedi Personal Finance Master!

1. Always have strong goals (Yoda)

Do or do not. There is no Try. – Yoda

Your goals should not be to try to do something. Your goals should be to do something. The difference is very important. You should set your mind to do it. You should already believe you will achieve your goal and not try to achieve it.

Trying to do something means there is a risk of failure. Doing something means succeeding. That is not to say you will always succeed. But if you fail, you just have to learn from the failure and improve your next attempt. Do not stop because you fail!

2. Do not time the market (Yoda)

Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future – Yoda

As Yoda tells us, the future is always in motion. There is no way to accurately predict the future. The same is true for the stock market. Trying to predict the stock is a fool’s game.“ Much to learn you still have my old padawan. This is just the beginning.” Yoda

This does not mean that we should not invest. This should simply mean that we should rely on the performance of the market rather than rely on the performance of fund managers that will take a large part of the gains.

It has been shown many times that active funds did not beat the market over the long term. On the other, passive funds allow replicating the performance of the market at very low fees.

3. Be Patient (Yoda)

Patience you must have, my young padawan – Yoda

You will not achieve your goals in a single day or even in a single year. Whether your goal is to get out of debt or to reach Financial Independence.

You need to be patient and stay consistent. If your goals are going too slow for your taste, you can try to improve their speed. You could try to save more money towards your goal by cutting some more things you do not really need.

Or you could set yourself some intermediary goals. For instance, if your goal is to get out of debt in two years, you could set monthly goals to eliminate one debt after another.

And once you reach the first small goal, you can make the next one more difficult. Such a strategy will make you feel your progress and will make it so you reach your goals faster!

4. Do not let your emotions decide (Luke & Yoda)

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. – Yoda

It is a well-known fact in investing that your emotions are your worst enemy. You should try to be as detached as possible when you make decisions.

For instance, investing in cryptocurrencies because you fear missing out on the huge gains achieved by some people is not a good reason to invest. And selling out all your shares because one index lost 10% of its value in a few weeks.

Your overconfidence is your weakness – Luke Skywalker

Fear is not the only emotion that is dangerous. Overconfidence can be highly detrimental to your investments. If the stock market is going very well and you are overconfident, you may invest more than you should. And once the stock market goes down, and it will, you may be left with too little money and forced to sell at the worst time.
