Did You Give Today? Financial Freedom Through Giving…

Did You Give Today? Financial Freedom Through Giving…

…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…

Can You Make Money Getting Healthy???

Can You Make Money Getting Healthy???

…let me tell you a story on how my husband Jomel made money the other day getting closer to his ideal weight!

…I’m always interested in increasing the amount of money we are making (and improving our cash flow) and Jomel tells me about something our team is organizing…
…so, we are in an internet marketing business (hence this beautiful and informative blog you are reading right now!) and our team leader Lawrence Tam (he’s so cool, he was an engineer who was making 5 figure months and still wouldn’t quit his engineering job…he eventually got laid off and never went back … his results aren’t, see our full income disclaimer here) tells the team that he is starting a fitness challenge using a Diet Bet App…

Would You Borrow Money To Invest?

Would You Borrow Money To Invest?

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…
