…so how fast can I double my investment and can someone please explain the Rule of 72 in a simple way….for dummies?

…here is the explanation that you are looking for, and you can find some really nifty calculators HERE…

…so if we are going to put money in a savings account or a bond, we want to have the highest rate possible (in this rate environment it will probably be around 2% max)…

…now, if we owe money, we want to lowest rate possible, so that we can pay the least amount of interest…

…however, did you know that there is a rule that allows you to calculate how many years it will take for your money to double and a certain interest rate?

How To Improve Your Money Karma

How To Improve Your Money Karma

…Mey here on a beautiful Tuesday evening approaching 10:30pm and blogging about How To Improve Your Money Karma…

…whether you believe in karma or not, there is karma and we live in consequences of every single action that we take…

…if we are generous, then we will have good money karma…

…if we are stingy, then we will have bad money karma…

…of course, karma isn’t always easy to understand as the results of karma don’t happen instantly…

…so in the example above, you may meet a generous person who is poor…

…and you may meet a stingy person who is wealthy…

…the reason for this is that the poverty or wealth was caused by a previous act, that has nothing to do with what will manifest from their current behavior..

…ever borrow money and not pay it back?

…it may come back to you when you lend out money and it doesn’t get paid back…

…however, you may not see the effect for a while…

Money and Happiness

Money and Happiness

Hi from the desk of Mey Duldulao on a Tuesday evening and I wanted to talk to you about money and happiness…

…I work in an internet business where people often come in super excited to make lots of money online…

…and when I ask them why oftentimes they tell me that a bigger house, or vacations, or whatever they want is going to make them happy…

…and that’s where I ask “Did you know that you can be happy right now, and it has NOTHING to do with money?”
