Competent financial advisors don’t have a particular look about them, even if they claim to have proof of their ability. To protect yourself, it is important to ask the kind of questions that will indicate whether the potential advisor has the requisite level of skill to handle your financial affairs, or whether you should look elsewhere. The following simple questions will help you determine if the advisor under scrutiny can really help with your financial affairs.

The first enquiry you should make relates to education. Competence and quality with advisors comes in the form of a relevant tertiary education, professional memberships of financial advisory groups, and certificates or further qualifications that show ongoing professional development. It is also important to enquire about length of experience in the financial industry, and in particular how long the individual has been working as an advisor. This should be considered the first step in your financial advisor selection process.

The second avenue of enquiry relates to payment for services. This question is important as financial planners can bill hourly, work for retainer and some work on a commission basis. Each of these payment channels attract differing fee levels, and this information will influence your choice of financial advisor. It pays to know up front.

Another excellent gauge of success and ability is testimonials, and in particular referrals. If the financial planner you are considering cannot provide referrals you should be sceptical about any claims about past success they may make. The opinions of previous clients are excellent indicators of the ability of a financial planner.

Finally, ask for a plan. Any financial advisor worth their fee will happily outline the scope of their services, tell you what information you need to provide them, and work with you across all relevant areas to develop a plan for you to reach your financial goals.

If you can learn to control one thing in life perfectly, it should be money. Learning to control your money and spending will ensure that your money doesn’t control you. Learning the ins and outs of finances isn’t difficult, it just takes knowledge and discipline. But if you can learn how to use your money to your advantage, the results will pay off exponentially.

The number one important rule when it comes to money is to spend less than you earn. It seems like a simple principle but many people struggle with it on a daily basis. That huge flat screen television is just too tempting. If you keep up the vicious cycle of spending more than you earn, you will never get ahead and you will consistently find yourself in debt.

However, spending less than you earn will profit you nothing if you don’t create a budget for yourself. If you don’t know where your money is going, you can’t set realistic saving and spending goals. Figure out how much you spend on certain things like groceries or gas every pay period. Set aside a certain amount of money to take care of those necessary expenses. If you’re spending too much on something like eating out, you will quickly see that your money is being wasted in that area. If it’s necessary to you, give yourself a certain amount to spend on eating out each pay period and stick to it. Always set aside a portion each pay period to savings, even if it’s a small amount. Sticking to your budget will take discipline, but if you develop the habit, you will learn to control your money instead of letting your money control you.

Small and mid-sized business owners have historically been limited in their options for commercial finance. That said, innovative solutions have emerged, particularly in the form of invoice financing performed through the use of an online auction marketplace.

This market-based working capital solution allows small and mid-sized businesses to gain quick access to working capital that is currently tied up in their accounts receivable. Not only can a company get cash quickly and efficiently through this real-time auction process, but this form of financing provides additional benefits to businesses. Here are six benefits that a business can tap by using this solution:

1. Complete Financing Control- Small and mid-sized businesses maintain complete control of the transaction. The seller sets all the terms – the minimum advance amount, maximum discount fee and the length of the auction. Compared to other traditional methods of financing, this is a unique feature of this form of financing and an attractive incentive for using the online receivables marketplace.

2. Fast Accessibility- You can sell an invoice today and the cash advance can be electronically deposited the very next day. The process really can happen that fast. No matter how many days it takes for the invoice to sell, the money is available within 24 hours once the auction closes.

That kind of fast access means that businesses can take advantage of any opportunity that comes along by simply converting their outstanding invoices to cash on this easy-to-use receivables marketplace.

3. Few Restrictions-This online receivables marketplace does not require all-asset liens, restrictive covenants dictating the actions of the business, or personal guarantees. Once businesses are registered and approved to sell their outstanding invoices, the only criteria is that the total auction value must be at least $10,000.

4. Access to working Capital without taking on additional debt- This is not a loan. In fact, accounts receivable financing allows you to increase liquidity and improve your cash flow without taking on new debt. The only real risk here is if the debtor fails to make payment.

By selling accounts receivable on this marketplace, you are participating in a “true sale” of the asset. There is a “repurchase obligation”. This means that if the account debtor, your customer, fails to pay the outstanding invoices, you, the Seller, are required to repurchase the remaining balance…

5. Seller Flexibility- Post one invoice or five, however many you will need to provide the amount of capital required to meet your business needs.. Use the auction site how and when you see fit – once a month or twice a week.

6. Privacy- The online auction site protects the privacy of the sellers and the buyers. The account debtor, your customer, does not know that their invoice has been sold to a third party.

In addition, because this is an open auction format,. the seller does not know who has purchased the invoice. The buyer(s) – a global network of accredited institutional investors – identity is kept anonymous.

When small and mid-sized businesses have to choose where to obtain working capital financing, these six benefits make commercial finance through an accounts receivable auction platform an attractive alternative to other traditional lending methods like factoring and bank loans.

When my wife and I were preparing to be married, we had to have a couple of counseling sessions with the preacher of our church before he would perform the marriage ceremony. The thing that I found amazing at the time was that he only discussed a couple of different issues. One of them was our religious beliefs and how they related to marriage. The other thing was the issue of money and personal finance in marriage. I thought talking about money and finances was stupid at the time but I quickly realized after we were married that money is probably the biggest issue that can cause marriage separation and divorce besides the issue of unfaithfulness and adultery.

When you are married and having problems because of finances or already separated because of the issue of finances and money, you are going to have to come to some kind of agreement in order to work the problem out and save your relationship. Many people do not realize how many marriages fail because of problems related to finances or money issues. The problems usually stem from one of the partners making a big financial decision or spending large amounts of money without getting the spouses consent. One of the best decisions that can be made to calm marriage problems related to money or finances is for both people to be involved in how money is going to be spent.

As a personal aside, my wife and I have a money plan that we live by and it seems to work for us. When we get paid, we give ourselves an allowance for any discretionary spending. We can use that money to waste as we see fit without the permission of the other partner. Everything else goes to pay our bills and anything that is left over is used to make purchases that both partners agree to purchase. So far it has worked without any hitches. I would suggest that you give it a try.

Today I read an article by Katie Adams entitled, Financial Mistakes that Could Haunt You Forever and it got me thinking. In this unprecedented Economic Depression, we are faced with more difficult decisions about our finances than ever before. Who can we turn to? Who do we trust? I say that now more than ever before we need radical self reliance. Don’t wait for someone else to tell you what you need to do. Be informed and then decide the proper course of action for your own financial well being.

I hear it every day. “We cashed in our savings and retirement to try to stay afloat.” “We lived off our credit cards and now we can’t afford the payments.” These 4 financial mistakes can be fatal in the long run and you may land in bankruptcy:

* Living beyond your means is so yesterday.
* Cashing out retirement accounts to pay bills is fatal.
* Fear, Shame and Guilt will paralyze you financially.
* Never, Ever Co-Sign on a Loan, unless you intend to own it and can afford the payments!

We’re not in a recession, we’re in a depression. We need to adjust our lifestyles accordingly and stop creating debt and live within our means. Never, Never, and I will say it again, Never cash in your savings or retirement accounts to pay bills because you will lose that compound interest, you’ll be penalized for early withdrawal and wind up paying taxes. It’s just not worth it. Besides, you’ll most likely get to keep many of your assets in bankruptcy under an exemption. Lastly, you absolutely must not panic. Don’t let your fear paralyze you into inaction. The last thing you need is to have your wages garnished by a creditor who has sued you before you decide you need to file for bankruptcy.

I believe that the most important thing to remember is to never co-sign on a loan for anyone, unless you have the ability to pay for it yourself and intend to own it. Here’s the reason for this. When you co-sign for the debt of another, you are putting yourself on the hook for that debt, in the event this other person can no longer pay for it. If the person you’ve co-signed for ends up in bankruptcy, then the lender can come after you for that debt. You may find yourself being thrown under the bus, so to speak, and may end up in bankruptcy too, if you did not intend to pay for that debt.

Don’t go broke before you talk to a bankruptcy lawyer about your current financial circumstances. Every situation is unique and you may have options outside of bankruptcy, but you must act now.

When I managed national real estate and construction for the then ‘Tiffany’ of investment firms I learned from the CEO that should the 1932 Glass Steagall Banking Act ever be rescinded-it was certain that speculators would game the system and cause another Great Depression.

Wanting to know more I became licensed on all exchanges-and started paying close attention when derivatives were de-regulated in 1992. Gold at the time was $300. Today it’s over $1,000 with China, Russia, France and the UN calling for the USD to be removed as the reserve currency, a status that has long shored up our economy.

In 2003, Warren Buffet termed derivatives ‘financial weapons of mass destruction created by mad men’. At that time their ‘value’ stood at $9 trillion. Today, that number has reached $1.4 quadrillion and continues to expand geometrically.

Can you picture even $3 trillion? In stacked-up dollar bills it would reach from Earth to the Moon 238K miles away. If you’d spent a million dollars each day for 2,000 years ago–even that would ‘only’ amount to three-quarters of a trillion dollars!

A quadrillion is a thousand trillion. A trillion is a thousand billion. A billion is a thousand million. The relative scale of the world’s financial engines in relation to those $1.4 quadrillion derivatives follows in U.S. dollars:

1. The U.S. GDP is $14 trillion.
2. The Global GDP is $45 trillion.
3.Global real estate value is $65 trillion.
4. Global stock and bond markets are $74 trillion.
5. Global derivatives exceed all combined global wealth by 31 times.
6. The global population is 6.8 billion people. The derivatives market is equal to $206,000 USD per every person on the planet.

‘When I Ruled the World’:

The public is right to be angry at the US Big Banks that caused the meltdown: Citi, BofA, JP Morgan, Chase, Wells Fargo–and both sides of Congress that are in their pockets. The banks are still using customer deposits protected by FDIC insurance to speculate in derivatives, instead of lending to small business. They’ve not paid back taxpayer bailouts, and have rewarded themselves with billions in bonuses while raising customer fees.

It’s up to the people to stop feeding the monster banks. Check out the ‘Move Your Money’ online movement. Find out how to determine which local banks and credit unions are well managed, and stop supporting the big banks that are endangering us all, and are turning America into the Coldplay lyric ‘When I Ruled the World.’

Women need to create their own wealth, enough to survive independently, so that whether they have a man in their life or not they will be ok financially. A plan is needed, even if you have a high income that alone is not enough to grow wealth.

Joan demystifies the jargon covering areas such as budgeting, principles of investing, superannuation, diversification, and managed funds. She explains the emotion that drives the share market. Which, by the way, women are often more successful at conquering than men are. She explains the importance of making your money when you buy and how to borrow smart for investments.

She covers how to plan your investment strategy and how to decide what is the best investment for you. She also passes on some encouraging thoughts on taking action, for without action no amount of investment knowledge will help.

Joan has had twenty years experience as a financial coach and says the main thing she has learnt is that anyone can become financially free, but you have to know what it is you want and you have to want it enough.

Let’s get something straight to start with. There is NO HIDDEN or Shadow Inventory of Distressed Assets.

I know many of you keep hearing that the second wave of foreclosures is coming. You could be thinking that because you are having difficulty in obtaining large bulk reo tapes, that the Banks must be holding or hoarding houses back from the market or that perhaps they are about to flood the market with thousands of properties.

We’ve been hearing that from many people for over a year now. I have never bought into it, because as I have always stated, is that the market can handle more inventory than most would think There is so much pent up demand it’s crazy.

The assumption that I have never challenged, until now, is that these foreclosures EVEN EXIST! Take a look at the latest numbers crunched at Foreclosure Radar.

I don’t know how you can argue with the data, the sales volume has been so great it is outpacing the numbers of foreclosures hitting the market. Getting unlimited business checks will help to organize expenses of a company.We have been saying that for over a year!

It is important to point out that there are massive numbers of defaults and foreclosure sales that are “hung up”. It’s an absolutely huge number of houses, but still, there’s not one person I’ve spoke to that did not believe that there are masses of foreclosures post sale that were sitting inactive that are not even being placed on the market.

The crazy thing is that every investor buyer wants to believe that they can purchase bulk these single family residential (SFR) tapes in CA, NV, AZ at 50-70 cents on the dollar. These investors are so motivated at the prospect that they are willing to treasure hunt for inventory that does NOT exist.

The reality is that our company is calling the banks every single day and I can tell you from our experience that nothing exists in CA, AZ, NV in bulk SFR tapes at discount prices (we have strong relationships with almost all the mid sized institutions).

The banks at best only have 1-5 REO properties at a time and they are unloading those via Realtors and brokers at NO discount. Asset managers are telling us that most of their bank owned properties are actually selling at full market value without any need to discount! The markets are moving in these states!

The inventory in the Southwest has dried up and the demand is obviously heading east across the Midwest. I can tell you that demand FAR exceeds supply so we only expect bulk SFR tapes in the Midwest and east to last another 12-24 months. The inventory that is available will NEVER be cheaper than it is now.

I am sure many of you have seen large, pennies on the dollar California Single Family Residential “tapes” flying around the internet, but I can assure you that it is NOT authentic product.

Many buyers are frustrated that they can’t find anything and it’s simply because it’s GONE. Anyone telling you that they have $200M – $1B in bulk single family homes at thirty (30) cents on the dollar is a joker or a part of a daisy chain of jokers…

So, check out the bulk market for yourself – the implications are huge for savvy investors! The Midwest is a market we are promoting because of the stock availability at low prices. Investors who are waiting to buy may really, really miss the boat. Available inventory has never been sold at such low prices. Waiting may be harmful to your wealth!
