WARM GETAWAY

I love to travel. But unfortunately we all know traveling costs $$$. So in order for me to travel like I want I save 10% of my pay check every time I get paid. I always want to go some where warm in the winter to get away from the snow. It is still really cold where I live. I love to scuba dive - its fun to go some where different every winter for the new diving experience. This pic of Tahiti.

SLUSH FUND $$

I don’t know about you but I love to travel. As we all know traveling costs $$ sometimes LOTS of $$. I have a SLUSH TRAVEL fund that I keep separate from my other saving and checking accounts. This fund allows me to take a vacation on a whim.

Each time I get paid I set aside $200 in my slush fund.A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take a last minute trip to the beach. The lodging was free and I only had to pay for food and drinks. I spent about $200 and I didn't have to pull the money from my regular budget and I didn't have to touch my emergency fund or regular savings. It was also nice to not have to worry about whether or not I could afford it. As long as I have money in the slush fund to cover the purchase, I can afford it. After all, that's what it's there for.

Money 4 Rainy Day

A site that I visit often to get money tips is www.moneycentral.msn.com. It seems now that the economy is questionable - people are starting to pay more attention on what and how they spend their money.

“No matter how much or how little you make, always save a little bit”

It’s a good idea to build and emergency fund. In life you should expect the unexpected, and this is why you need an emergency fund. The best you can do is to prepare for emergencies that require access to additional money and having an emergency fund is the ideal solution.

Financial emergencies can come in the form of a job loss, significant medical expenses, home or auto repairs or something you’ve never dreamed of. The last thing you want to do is be forced to rely on credit cards or a loan which could simply compound the problem.

A "Solid" Investment

What happened to people when the recession hit scares me. All of us, I am sure knew someone lost money when it hit, and I hope not too much of it. This got me thinking that I really don't want everything I own, tied up in banks that can vanish because of their poor decisions and loaning habits. This is when I looked into investing in Gold.
Secure Your Wealth By Investing In Gold
by Vincent.Russo

W ith the current stock market crisis, and U.S. economy on a slippery slope, what do you feel comfortable investing in? Warren Buffet suggests that you should “only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.” Why should you listen to Mr. Buffet? He’s one of the world’s most successful investors, CEO and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, and currently ranked by Forbes as the second richest person in the world with an estimated worth of more than $37 billion.

What would you be “perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down” for a decade? How about the medium that has proven itself to be an effective preserver of wealth and a safe haven for assets in times of economic and social crisis. If you want to protect yourself and your wealth against inflation, deflation, stock market weakness, and potential currency problems, or if you would simply like to invest in a bedrock medium, Investing in gold is the venture for you.

Gold has been adequately nicknamed the "crisis commodity" because it tends to outperform all other investments during unsteady periods. Investing in gold has always been a wise venture for investors, because it lacks the risk of “conventional investments.” And, though the price of gold is on the rise because of the failing dollar, as Mr. Warren Buffet has pointed out, “Investing is laying out money today to receive more money tomorrow.” Investing in gold today means peace of mind for you tomorrow. You know that by Investing in gold, you have secured your assets in a turbulent time of instability.

Since the 1970s, the investment world has seen hard-assets perform better in high-inflation environments. Investing in gold, a hard-intrinsic asset, will continue to out perform the fleeting investment opportunities the market offers. If you want to protect against financial uncertainties, there is only one medium that will serve you in all seasons. Investing in gold is the solid avenue that will steadily and securely serve your wealth.
