How To Pay Off Your Mortgage in 5-8 Years – A Review of Financial 101

Want to learn how to pay off your mortgage in 5 to 8 years?

…read this review of Financial 101…

…so my husband says an administrator of one of the facilities he visits invited him to attend a financial seminar at someone’s house…

…bells are going off in my head…

Why would anyone do a financial presentation at their house?

…I asked him “Is this an MLM?”…

…my husband Jomel says “it’s a class on money and investing and it was an hour long”…

…so we all just went, and I literally just got back to write this blog about it…

…it was a company called Financial 101…

…similar to Sweep Strategies, they help you learn to budget money, save, and restructure debt so that you can pay off your mortgage faster…

…then they help you invest in other properties for rental income…

Here is my honest review of Financial 101

How Do I Help My Friend Save More Than $5,000?

…Mey here on a beautiful Wednesday morning and I admit that it was hard to wake up this morning so to help me out my son cried real loud for mango juice and I got up to take him out to Grandma, and so blessed me with the time I need to write about How Do I Help My Friend To Save More Than $5,000?

…so, I have a friend and I talked to her the other day about her saving…

…she used to not save at all…

…only paid debt which she kept accumulating…

…so she finally started saving, YAY!

…however, when I spoke with her she said she stopped saving when she hit $5,000…

…basically, life happened…

…so, being the person that I am I want to help her become financially free…

…so, the big question is, how do I get my friend to save more money and pass her $5,000 mark?

…I decided to text her last night…

“Why stop at $5,000? What’s so special about that number?”

…she replied “I don’t know =)”…

Are You Saving For A Rainy Day or a Sunny Day?

Are You Saving For A Rainy Day or a Sunny Day?

…Mey here at the newly opened Honolulu Coffee Company with my Mom, author of Veluli: Specimen AMAC-1, blogging about Are You Saving For A Rainy Day or a Sunny Day?

…why would anyone save for a rainy day?

…isn’t that when we all stay inside, and spend time cleaning the house or sleeping in?

…I mean, why would you need money on rainy days, instead of sunny days, or cloudy days…or anyday?

…let’s save for everyday, for the rest of our lives, so we can become financially free in our thirties instead of in our sixties (if ever…)…

…and let’s talk seriously about why it’s important to really think about this concept with saving for a particular day with something far more powerful…
