Where Can The Middle Class Get a Financial Education?
Posted by Harley in Financial Education on August 27, 2009
It’s pretty clear that the middle class needs a practical, hands-on financial education where they learn to take control of their own finances and become debt free, money and investment smart. The problem though is that our schools don’t teach it. The countless “money and investment” books only inform or at best, present a do it yourself program or some great ideas but leave one to decide how to implement it and figure out the necessary priorities. Peoples’ jobs definitely don’t teach it because if employees knew what their employers know, then the employees wouldn’t need them anymore. Lastly, going to Wall Street and traditional financial planners for sound, conflict free financial education and advice obviously doesn’t work either as the fourth quarter 2008 so readily proves.

The Recession May Help The Middle Class
Posted by Harley in Managing Your Money on August 19, 2009
Unfortunately, the foreseeable future over the next 2-5 years doesn’t look any better what with the loss of real estate values, increased unemployment, foreclosures, and soon to be seen further stock market losses that will make the 2008 fourth quarter losses seem like a walk in the park.
Candidly, the middle class needs a resurgence of the money attitude they had 50 to 60 years ago when they focused on planning, financial education and building futures for their families. Perhaps one good thing may result from this present recession and that is a return to that frugal attitude versus the instant gratification of buying everything on credit, including vacations. People generally spend more time today planning their next vacation than they do in minding their personal finances. Visit the Elite Wealth Plan Products and Services

Posted by Harley in Managing Your Money on May 5, 2009
Is it Possible to Achieve Financial Freedom? – If you’re looking to achieve financial freedom from the current financial service industry, you’re in for a rude awakening in case you haven’t figured it out yet. If you’re already in that trench, fighting with every breath you’ve got for less money than it’s worth, it’s not your fault! The entitlement mentality, greed, arrogance and outrageous bonuses of the Wall Street elite have seen to that as they make out royally and you’re left to pick up the pieces in the financial meltdown they and their regulatory and political buddies have created. Unfortunately, we have only experienced the tip of the iceberg as the worse is still to come. This time the elites of Wall Street have gone way too far and completely destroyed the two elements vital to your ability to build your business, your book, your clientele – trust and integrity!

The Right Way to Money and Possessions – There is a solution for those over burdened with debt or facing any financial dilemma such as a job loss or a job that has a ceiling on one’s income. The new paradigm is to not simply provide financial planning or advisory services but instead to deliver a comprehensive financial education to the people who need it. Once people understand the necessary strategies for wealth creation and wealth preservation, the entire picture begins to change. Couple this new understanding with an extraordinary income derived through online direct sales marketing, and survival is no longer the issue. Instead, people can focus on creating wealth and an abundant future.
A Society Overburdened With Debt

A Society Overburdened With Debt – Even in the ramp-up to the current situation, we are all familiar with the problems most Americans had managing their finances. Overburdened with debt and with insufficient income to support it, most people could not control their money because their money controlled them. The financial meltdown has made this situation even more acute. Borrowing to try and maintain pace with their lifestyles, people became even more burdened with debt and often did so with declining incomes as well. The current financial firestorm is one gigantic margin call on this debt ridden lifestyle and stresses the extreme importance of people obtaining the financial education they never received in the course of their normal education.
