How exercising regularly can make you money

Posted on October 8, 2015 by meylysa

Yes, it’s Mey and I’m awake on a Thursday morning writing about How exercising regularly can make you money…

…so, I was listening to the audio book for The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business…

…a book that our friend Stephen recommended to my husband Jomel…

…and it is fascinating, I HIGHLY recommend you get it…

…there was a part that really caught my attention on Keystone habits…

…he talked about how changing one Keystone habit can be the trigger to changing a lot of other habits…

…and one Keystone habit was exercise…

…if someone started to exercise regularly, it oftentimes led to them eating healthier as well as using their Credit Cards less!!!

…I mean, how is that possible?

Did You Give Today? Financial Freedom Through Giving…

Posted on October 6, 2015 by meylysa

…did you give today?

…yesterday I did the scope (follow me on Periscope @meyduldulao) about giving…

…I got to give a beautifully wrapped box of Big Island candies to one of the ladies who work at the Day Care Center at our gym…

…she helps watch our son Jordan while we work out…

…and it felt really good to give…

…I first started giving money regularly about 7 years ago when I started following T H Eker’s Millionaire Mind budget (Click here for more info on the budget)…

…so in that budget you save 5%-10% of your income for our GIVE account…

…when I started doing that, I instantly felt rich…

…why?

…because whenever there was a charity drive or someone asked me to donate, if it was a cause I believed in, I had enough money to donate between $25 to $100…

…so I instantly felt rich, generous, prosperous, financially free…

What Are My Chances of Becoming Financially Free?

Posted on October 5, 2015 by meylysa

…hi, I’m Mey, a Super Mom, and I woke up early before my husband and son so that I could blog and spend more time in the evenings with both of them, and today’s topic is What Are My Chances of Becoming Financially Free?

…and yet, there are people who are free…

…they took the actions and created a life where they work on their passions, and don’t need to work for the money anymore…

…so if you want to be financially free, what are your chances of getting your goal?

Would You Borrow Money To Invest?

Posted on September 30, 2015 by meylysa

It’s Mey here on a breezy Wednesday evening, had a nice evening with our financial planner and also worked out at the gym, and now winding down with tonight’s blog Would You Borrow Money To Invest?

…this is a controversial topic…

…and I think it just DEPENDS on the rate of the loan and also what the investment is…

…I recently had a talk with my mentor in Real Estate, and he advised that an investor with CASH wouldn’t go in on a real estate investment unless the return was AT LEAST 8%…

…so that means if you are borrowing to go in, then you need to offset the rate of your loan…

…let’s say that you have access to a credit line at 6%, which is roughly the current going rate…

…well, in order to make your 8%, you need to find something that is a STABLE 14% return…

…so it just depends…

…if you can find an investment like that, then yes, it would make sense to borrow to invest…

…she said he was going through hard times…

…and that HE’S ALWAYS going through hard times…

…another live viewer from Vermont said that they never lend money to friends, if it’s under $100 they just give them the money…

…said it’s not worth the emotional hassle…

…tell me about it!
