3 Lessons For Daily Life

Last updated on: September 28, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

The words “Lessons for Daily Life” sit above Proverbs chapter six. It’s a small chapter, but full of wisdom. I pulled three lessons shared here, but I’d encourage you read through the entire chapter for even more insights and wisdom. 1.

Signing loans for others is discouraged because it can ruin relationships... Read more

What is a Ponzi Scheme?

Last updated on: September 23, 2011 at 10:58 am By Tim

A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment that is designed to deceive investors and ultimately make the originator very wealthy. Most follow a similar design: Promise extraordinary returns Show historical returns and potential for profit Build credibility with testimonials Leave with investors’ money While it’s simple in concept, some Ponzi schemes may be difficult to spot. One of the most recent and largest Ponzi schemes in history, run by Bernie Madoff, went unnoticed for years. Madoff promised excellent market returns... Read more

Fiscal Policy In A Nutshell

Last updated on: September 20, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

Getting out of a recession is easier said than done. Some economists would rather see the economy work its way out naturally without government intervention. Others (particularly Keynesian economists) believe that the best way to get out of a recession is through government intervention via fiscal policy. Put simply, fiscal policy is the government’s attempt to tax or spend its way out of a recession. We hear the term tossed around in the news all the time, but what does... Read more

Entrepreneur With a Day Job

Last updated on: September 16, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

Could You Live Without a Credit Card?

Last updated on: September 15, 2011 at 8:43 am By Tim

While the use of credit has been around for hundreds of years, the actual credit card has evolved in the last 50 years to make access to credit much easier. You can use your credit card to pay for almost anything, including toll road charges, funding your IRA (obviously not recommended), and to pay for college. Most people use a credit card on a daily basis, including myself. For responsible credit card users, the rewards can really add up if... Read more

Last updated on: September 14, 2011 at 9:36 am By Tim

The US Postal System has made its way into the news once again and its problems just seem to get bigger with each month that goes by. Unless a solution passes Congress, these issues will leave the USPS broke and jeopardize the nationalized mail system altogether. US Post Office Problems Congress micromanages the post office. A surefire way to run a bureaucracy into the ground is to make it so that changes are difficult to implement. When decisions have to... Read more
