What you think does matter

Double Taxation: Death tax - inheritance tax I have to ask - are you stupid? Forgive me, maybe it is congress and the pro “tax the Rich” yahoos who believe we’re stupid.? I’ve been hearing several commenter’s on TV say that we should tax the rich more because they deserve to pay more. After all, all those greedy rich people can afford it right. Or the woman who made me laugh because she said that "the rich should be taxed more because they have so much money and are sitting home doing nothing and being unproductive". What? Poor people hanging at home playing their $300 dollar Xbox360 collecting welfare or food stamps are more productive????? Look, I don’t love rich people and like poor people, you have the good and the bad. But my problem with taxes is that the Government who wants to " suck up " to struggling voters by saying their going after the greedy rich people & forget to mention that those tax proposals effect the poor as well as the rich.

How cheap is your Boss? So, everyone knows that times are tough, that the economy is hemorrhaging and things are tight. But I was wondering: How cheap is your Boss? I ask because I realized that my boss is extremely cheap. I mean really cheap. Now I’m not saying this because I am some disgruntled employed who wants a raise or is unhappy at his job.

Two months later I called, sent my fifth email and still… they will see what they can do???? Three months and I was

Making Money is not evil - being poor is evil... It’s a quote from a book I just finish reading : Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad Poor Dad . It’s an interesting read - I know I’ve read it twice and the reason why I bring up this topic “Making Money” is because of the economy. Really - I look at my kids and I wonder … have I wasted my life. Have I been so busy in the pursuit of my own happiness that I can’t offer more for my children because I thought wanting to make more money was “evil”… or maybe because I was scared or too lazy to try? This kind of book - how to make money or the mentality behind it really makes you think. Yes I know - I’m not trying to make it rich or even become rich over night. But I do have that urge to do more, make a little extra so my kids can have it easy. If anything - learn a couple of money managing or wealth building skills I could teach my kids so they don’t end up like dear old dad - a slave to a job - always wondering if this recession or hard time will de
