      <title>Is Your 401k Tax free?</title>
      <description>&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;3&quot; id=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Now you can get your tax deferred growth to come 
out tax free. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proper retirement planning is a need not a want. How would you like to have 
25% of your nest egg taken away at the time that you need it most? Well this is 
happening to to&amp;nbsp;many people now.&amp;nbsp; What do you think will happen to 
taxes when your ready to retire?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I know we do not know for sure, but 
we have historical data that says taxes will be higher.&amp;nbsp; Would you 
agree?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Will your current savings be enough to sustain you and your spouse 
through retirement? Now remember that you will lose about 25% of what you take 
out to taxes alone. I do not know about you, but that is a great hit for me. 
These are the years that we should be enjoying life, not thinking about where 
the money is or where it will go.&amp;nbsp; I will pay my fair share of taxes, but 
when&amp;nbsp;I retire I do not want to be paying higher taxes.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most qualified retirement plans do two things:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;They defer the tax and, 
  &lt;li&gt;The tax calculation. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which one of these two things are you looking for? Well, since most of us are 
Wal-Mart shoppers, we decide that it's best not to pay our taxes today and defer 
them until some date in the future. You're undoubtedly looking for the tax 
deferred growth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Two questions for you&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What tax bracket will you be in when you retire? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What deductions will you have when you take the money? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you're like most people you'll be in the highest tax bracket and you'll 
have the least deductions when you retire. What does that mean? Well, it means 
that the IRS will be taking more of your money at retirement. What if you could 
change that? What if you could still get the tax deferred growth during your 
accumulation years but have the money come out tax free during the distribution 
years? That means that you get to keep every cent and the IRS can't touch it. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Now some of you may say you have that in a Roth IRA.&amp;nbsp; I would say 
yes you do have some of that.&amp;nbsp; think about what a ROTH IRA is 
however.&amp;nbsp; You max it out at a much smaller amount than a 401k.&amp;nbsp; You 
also get hit hard if you take money out before you government says you can.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If we had a vehicle that allowed you to put in as much money as you could, 
and take out money with out a tax penalty.&amp;nbsp; Would you like that?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let Dave show you where your at, and what will happen at the current 
condition you are going in.&amp;nbsp; then let him show if you tweak just a couple 
things and follow a system you can pay off all your debt in 1/3 of the time and 
have $50,000 tax free income a year in your golden years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>It's about the banking process, not a financial product</title>
      <description>&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Are you looking for a magic pill to cure your financial 
woes?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The average family 
is one paycheck away from disaster and has over $8,000 in credit card debt. Are 
you one in this boat?&amp;nbsp; You must know that, becoming your own bank system is 
not a magic pill to get you out of the debt woes. The good news is, Dave can 
help you.&amp;nbsp; He knows how to work with people to get them to a point of 
paying off all debt and saving in the right way so you do not lose everything 
you have.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; If you're looking for a get-rich-quick product then you'll have to 
keep searching. What&amp;nbsp;Dave Cheatham&amp;nbsp;teaches is a process to turn the 
tables on the traditional financial institutions. Conventional financial 
planning would dictate that in order to build wealth you need to: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Achieve higher rates of return 
  &lt;li&gt;Spend less on your current lifestyle to save more and 
  &lt;li&gt;Maximize your contribution to your company's qualified retirement plan 
  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first question that most financial advisors will ask you is &#8220;how much 
money do you currently have?&quot; The next question is usually, &#8220;where is it?&quot; Once 
they know where your money is they will usually start telling you about how 
their products are better. Very few advisors will spend time talking with you 
about the money transfer problems that erode your wealth. After all, it's much 
easier to sell someone a product and go on your way because anything more than 
that takes more time and energy. A person that hands you a 50 page outline of 
what you should do can only give you hypothetical's.&amp;nbsp; You need a person 
that will walk you through how to pay off all your debt and have $50.000 plus in 
tax free income at retirement while being able to get to the money if an 
emergency comes up with out paying taxes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; To illustrate the point that products are not as important as the 
process let us assume that we're going to send you to play tennis at the 
Wimbledon tournament, one of the best know tennis tournaments of all 
time.&amp;nbsp;Now we have two things to offer you but you can choose only one. You 
can have the&amp;nbsp;tennis gear&amp;nbsp;of any&amp;nbsp;one great tennis 
players&amp;nbsp;who's ever played the game or who can have their ability. Which one 
would you choose? Of course you would want their ability, or swing. This is what 
we're teaching people with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Your Own Banking 
System&lt;/strong&gt;Unnecessary wealth transfers are the fundamental problem. The 
process that we teach solves this problem and eliminates the staggering cost of 
financing. Learn how to use &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thebankingsecret.com/faq.html&quot; class=&quot;verdana10_red&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;financing as

      <title>Do you save money?</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;In 2007 the personal savings rate was negative for the first time since the Great Depression. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Americans are &lt;strong&gt;now spending&lt;/strong&gt; more than they are making. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How is that possible? The previous 10 years saw record breaking growth in both the stock and real estate markets, yet most households need the incomes from both parents to make ends meet. Are you in this same boat? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, this has changed the fabric of our lifestyle. We are spending less time with our kids and more time at our jobs. The value of family and community has diminished. Why? Well, the answer is that most of us are trying to keep pace with Mr. &amp;amp; Mrs. Jackson Smith Jones&amp;#39;s. We measure success by what we have, not what we have done or the relationships we have. This leads to ever increasing family expenditures. C. Northcote Parkinson observed that &#8220;a luxury once enjoyed becomes a necessity.&#8221; This is why we always live paycheck to paycheck no matter how much money we bring into our home. So, must we go backward in order to go forward? No. The problem is not what you buy but how you buy it. Did you know that roughly&amp;nbsp;33% of every disposable dollar goes to pay the interest on financed expenses? The amount is staggering! Like a fire hose we are&amp;nbsp;flooded by financial institutions with offers to finance practically everything. They clearly understand the economic power of financing and therefore encourage us to do it at every turn. Just the fact that the banks mail us vast amounts of credit card applications tells you what? They must be making&amp;nbsp;a TON&amp;nbsp;of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MONEY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. With their pockets full don&amp;#39;t expect any changes. In fact look at changes that have occurred in the last two years from them.&amp;nbsp; They had the minimum payment increased from 2% to 4%, and they changed the Bankruptcy laws to favor them. No, the credit cards companies are not our friends. &lt;p&gt;So, if the banks won&amp;#39;t change then what can you do? Well, you must put yourself in control of your money. Therefore, you must treat yourself like a banker and create your own system of banking. The only way to avoid the transfer of interest and the lost opportunity costs is to put yourself in a position where you have the choice to use your money or someone else&amp;#39;s. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This means that you must save enough until you can choose to pay cash or finance. If you pay cash you should pay yourself back. As long as you borrow money from others you will be forced to transfer some of your wealth away. Doing this will allow you to regain control and take charge of your financial future. Ask yourself this question: &#8220;If you had your own banking system would you still borrow money from the local bank?&#8221; Of course not! Borrowing from yourself and paying it back means that you get every penny back. Interest charges are gone forever. Not only do you recapture the interest that you were previously sending to various financial institutions but you also recapture the principal. By transferring the financing from the local bank to your personal banking system the cost of your purchases are significantly reduced.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may be wondering what the difference is between a local bank and your personal baking system. Well, the condensed answer is that the local banks are federally chartered institutions that require vast amount of time and capital to start. But banking itself is merely a way of transferring wealth from savers to borrowers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What exactly is a banking?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What additional advantages would you enjoy by becoming your own banker?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul class=&quot;verdana10_blue&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Purchase a car and increase your wealth by doing it.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&amp;#39;s about the banking process, not a financial product.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;You can get to the money when you need it and not pay a Tax Penalty for using it.&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Enjoy a tax free income stream that will last longer than you will, and still be able to give money to people or organizations if you choose.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you in control of your money and financial destiny or is it the government, your employer or financial advisor who is steering your ship?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If rate of return is important, what is the return on tax free?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pensions are in deep trouble, how safe are you?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grow your nest egg predictably year after year no matter what happens to the stock, bond or real estate markets.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Do not rely on the Government to take care of you in your Golden years.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;Have money if or when an emergency comes up.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;If any of these things strike a cord with you get a &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:qualityteam@sbcglobal.net&quot;&gt;hold of Dave Cheatham&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Tell him you want to know more what &amp;quot;YOUR OWN BANKING SYSTEM&amp;quot; is all about.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He can teach you how to save thousands of dollars of interest, pay off all your bills in 1/3 of the time, and have an extra $50,000 = in tax free income a year during retirement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:qualityteam@sbcglobal.net&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>You are losing money, unknowingly and unnecessarily, every day!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Do you realize how much it is? You spend $0.54 to $0.64 of every earned dollar on taxes and interest alone. Would you like to have it back? Or do you prefer giving it to the banks and the IRS? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you ready to take control of your money? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If&amp;nbsp;Dave Cheatham&amp;nbsp;could show you how to finance something, like a car, and every other car paid for itself, would you want to hear about it?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What if you could finance your own house, a rental property, equipment for your business or even your child&amp;#39;s education?&amp;nbsp; Once you learn and apply the principles of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Your Own Banking System&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;the opportunities to self-finance are limitless. We will educate and advise you on the &lt;strong&gt;Your Own Banking System&lt;/strong&gt;. Then&amp;nbsp;Dave Cheatham&amp;nbsp;will help you to become your own banker so you can begin recapturing the dollars that you are transferring away.&amp;nbsp; Better said throwing away, never to be seen again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To understand this better you must know how money flows. You see there is only one pool of money in the world. Like water, it flows freely...changing hands often. Like most Water is in the oceans most money is in the banks.&amp;nbsp; Companies keep it there, Governments keep it there, even financial service companies keep the money in banks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, what does a bank do? A bank is simply an intermediary and gatekeeper of the money pool. A bank has learned the power of turning money and&amp;nbsp;dependable depositors on the wonder of compound interest. (by the way one of the most powerful forces&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;Earth.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Money does not accumulate in the bank. It is continuously used and re-used. The more times a bank can turn the money the more profit they will make. Therefore, financial institutions will gladly give you, the depositor, a small rate of return for the use and control of your money. They know that they will make much more than you will by turning the money over and over. (Until we teach you how they do it that is) It&amp;#39;s important to remember that a bank does not loan THEIR money. They loan YOUR money! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What if you could do what the financial institutions are doing? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well you can.&amp;nbsp; Dave Cheatham will Guide through and teach you how to do the same things banks do.&amp;nbsp; He will teach you to become your own bank.&amp;nbsp; It is not a new concept.&amp;nbsp; in fact what he will teach you has been done for over 100 years.&amp;nbsp; You might ask why you where not taught this before.&amp;nbsp; Well he will tell you that to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So to learn how to recapture money your throwing away &lt;a href=&quot;mhtml:{E1A152F3-6308-4440-A708-69DC5E879073}mid://00000002/!x-usc:mailto:qualityteam@sbcglobal.net&quot;&gt;email Dave Cheatham now&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Dave will send you a FREE report teaching telling you how you can Save Thousands of dollars of Interest, Pay off all your third party debt in a third the time and have an extra $50,000 plus in tax free income every year in retirement.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Is &quot;Bank On Yourself&quot; right for you?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Even though I&amp;#39;ve been using the Bank On Yourself program for over a 4 years, it was still hard for me to tell people about it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most articles I&amp;#39;ve read that bash&amp;nbsp;Bank On Yourself say things like &amp;quot;use insurance to insure yourself not for saving&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;use investments like mutual funds&amp;quot; for investing and saving. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So even though I pay my premium every month, and I know it works, the Big companies still slammed what I was doing.&amp;nbsp; i was always wondering why.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then&amp;nbsp;this week I got an email from from a friend telling about &amp;nbsp;Jeffrey Reeves, the author of &amp;quot;Money for Life...In Good Times And Bad&amp;quot;. He said&amp;nbsp;I needed to check out this book. So I ordered hios book, and I read through it in a few hours - and then it all made perfect sense! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you borrow money from a traditional bank (or finance company, credit card, auto dealer, retailer - you get the idea) you pay them the principal AND the interest. And at the end, assuming you pay off the debt completely, you have the product ... and that&amp;#39;s it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But when you create your own bank, at the end you have paid yourself the purchase price - and the interest (and NOT the bank or lender) so you end up WAY ahead! Who makes more money GMAC the car company or the Finance Company.&amp;nbsp; Well the Finance Company does.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, it takes a while (and the right set-up) to get your bank to the point of having enough money to make this work. So it&amp;#39;s no &amp;quot;miracle cure&amp;quot; for all your money problems.&amp;nbsp; However when done right.&amp;nbsp; You can pay off your debt to other in 1/3 of the time, and have over $50,000 dollars tax free income every year in retirement.&amp;nbsp; Oh, if you need the money a head of time the Government will not hit you with a 40% penalty either.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But each time you &amp;quot;bank on yourself&amp;quot; you&amp;#39;re making yourself richer and NOT the banks! So you should definitely check out this book. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;re thinking about banking on yourself, it&amp;#39;s worth getting the book! Jeffrey&amp;#39;s been giving financial advice for over&amp;nbsp;40 years, and makes a great case for being your own bank - and tells you exactly why and how to do it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was trained by&amp;nbsp;Nelson Nash himself to create the best bank on your self for people.&amp;nbsp;I love helping&amp;nbsp;GUIDE people through this.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If i can help you in any way please let me know.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is the book: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.themoneyforlifebook.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Money For Life...In Good Times And Bad&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What do you think about this idea of &amp;quot;banking on yourself&amp;quot;? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks and Best to you in 2008 and beyond.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave Cheatham&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Financial consultant&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;630-398-3329&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:qualityteam@sbcglobal.net&quot;&gt;qualityteam@sbcglobal.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS. if you want to learn how You can pay off your debt to other in 1/3 of the time, and have over $50,000 dollars tax free income every year in retirement let me know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>What is going this week?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Crazy week is sort of an understatement for the amount of economic insanity we&amp;#39;ve seen this week. Where to even begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&amp;#39;s start with oil, black gold, Texas tea. After a larger than expected build in Crude Oil inventories, the price dropped on Wednesday to roughly $87 a barrel. I can&amp;#39;t believe I&amp;#39;m calling this good news, since it wasn&amp;#39;t very long ago when everyone talked about crude &amp;quot;hopefully not going over $75.&amp;quot;. I guess it&amp;#39;s a start and while today (Feb. 8th) oil prices are up over $89, we&amp;#39;re still below $90 and it&amp;#39;s start and a step in the right direction. Now if only the prices at the pump reflected the lower prices as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Stimulus Package should come with a warning. There&amp;#39;s a lot written into this package. Most notably spoken about is the tax refunds. Refunds are nice, don&amp;#39;t get me wrong. But keep in mind what the government is trying to do with this package. They are trying to Stimulate the economy. That means they want you to go and blow this new found cash. Please don&amp;#39;t. Enough people will blow this money to create the desired economic response but that doesn&amp;#39;t mean you have to jump on the band wagon. Hold your cash, pay off debt or invest it. Don&amp;#39;t buy a bunch of junk that you won&amp;#39;t remember buying in 6 months!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The package is also calling for an increase in lending limits for Fannie Mae&amp;#39;s Jumbo limit, raising the limit above the current $417,000 threshold. Following in turn will be increases in the FHA loan limits for many areas to Fannie&amp;#39;s old threshold mark. For much of New York north of Westchester, the FHA limits are too low for the average home price. The increase will instantly allow thousands of people to get into fixed rates from adjustables, and borrow money to payoff other debts as the FHA will allow someone with a clean mortgage payment history to borrow 95% of the value of their home. I&amp;#39;m not saying you should tap all (or most of) your equity, but if you need to, then you need to, and in this time of decreasing values, you may be at 95% without even knowing it. In a sea of confusion, this is definitely good news!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rates have been all over the map! After two rate cuts by the Fed, bond yields &amp;amp; rates steadily increased, but they increased slowly and rates remained around 5.5% with ease. That is, until this week! On Tuesday, the ten year bond yield opened up lower (lower yields = lower rates...more often than now). At 11am, the breaks got put on and the yield started going straight up. Then yesterday&amp;#39;s bond auction happened. With yields so low and inflation fears on the rise, the auction went horribly. When no one wants to buy something, supply and demand tells us that the value drops. When bond values drop the yields go up and rates follow. Nice rollercoaster ride this week. Very comforting. It is believed the Fed will lower rates again.&amp;nbsp; WOW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the grand scheme of things, it&amp;#39;s up to you as individuals to determine what helps you, what hurts you, and what doesn&amp;#39;t even matter in the crazy mixed world. You can read the paper everyday and get their opinion of what matters to you or you decipher what&amp;#39;s bad news for you and what&amp;#39;s good news and what&amp;#39;s beyond your control and what isn&amp;#39;t. There&amp;#39;s always a little bit of everything.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best to you,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave Cheatham&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>A good tool that is not used like people should</title>
      <description>&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I love e-letters and E-newsletters.&amp;nbsp; How many of you are using 
them?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;It was odd when I was talking to a friend of mine and she said she did not 
have a data base of here clients and then one for prospects.&amp;nbsp; This is 
needed in today's age.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I think that stale email is junk and will not be read.&amp;nbsp; Good content 
that the person knows that they will get something out of an email will get 
opened and read.&amp;nbsp; this is easy to do and helps create relationships.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;For me I want the relationship with everyone.&amp;nbsp; I like to build a large 
family of people.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Well after searching for companies and talking to people I jumped in.&amp;nbsp; 
I have been using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aweber.com/?291222&quot;&gt;Aweber Since 
Septemeber&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I love everything so far.&amp;nbsp; It is user friendly.&amp;nbsp; 
Try it out for free.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aweber.com/?291222&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.aweber.com/banners/010222/ani-button.gif?id=291222&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; height=&quot;125&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;baseline&quot; alt=&quot;Unlimited &amp;#13;&amp;#10;Autoresponders by AWeber&quot; width=&quot;125&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This is just another tool I think people that are in the people business 
should have.&amp;nbsp; if not this company use another.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;If I can be of help to anyone please ask me.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Have a great Day!!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>The advantages of the Infinite Bank</title>
      <description>&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps the most obvious advantage of individualized banking is that it 
offers life insurance coverage&#8212;something most people need anyway. Life insurance 
is a low risk investment; there are guaranteed returns, and life insurance 
companies are noted for their longevity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are also tax benefits. In a properly structured life insurance program, 
if you borrow the money out of the policy, the proceeds are tax free. As long as 
you don&#8217;t lapse the policy, no taxes are due. When the death benefit is paid, it 
is paid income tax free, minus the withdrawals. We structure these programs so 
that the income stream is tax free through age 100, in some cases 
longer,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;and the policy has a no lapse provision in it so as not to 
generate a taxable event.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to providing capital for borrowing, policies can also provide a 
stream of retirement income for policy holders. There are no age limits on 
policy withdrawals. Fr other vehicles you have age issues and tax 
disadvantages.&amp;nbsp; Not with this,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the front of the wave for retirement planning. &#8220;Setting up something 
like an Infinite Bank...allows you to save for retirement planning and know 
exactly what your tax exposure is going to be when you start pulling the money 
out. And if you pull it out correctly, you&#8217;re going to have zero tax 
exposure.&amp;nbsp; This is what we all want right.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Insurance policies are also safe from exposure to litigation and creditors. 
Insurance policies are protected from...taxes, creditors, litigation, things 
like that,&amp;nbsp; For example, a lot of doctors, lawyers, and business 
owners&amp;nbsp;use this Infinite Banking Concept...because it shelters assets. Now 
it is not just for these people.&amp;nbsp; It is for anyone now a days.&amp;nbsp; Think 
how sue happy people are.&amp;nbsp; You can get sued for the smallest thing.&amp;nbsp; 
It is another reason I would tell you to get a trust.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to being safe, individualized banking is flexible. Policy holders 
can borrow money and use it for purchases for which financing is usually hard to 
come by, such as foreign real estate. Policy holders can even become lenders 
themselves, borrowing money to lend it to other people in order to earn further 
interest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People who use individualized banking can use their policy in a variety of 
ways without turning any money over to a bank or other lender at any time. This 
has been done for 1000's of years.&amp;nbsp; Ask some farmers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, if you want to know more ask for the FREE report&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:qualityteam@sbcglobal.net&quot;&gt;.&quot;How to pocket the interest you now pay 
to Banks, Credit Cards, and other Finance Companies, for tax free income for 
life.&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;You must be aware of&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to building up their policies, policy holders must be dedicated 
to paying back loans, though there is certainly more flexibility involved, since 
policy holders are paying themselves back. If unforeseen circumstances arise, 
policy holders can change their repayment schedule as necessary, rather than 
worrying about foreclosure, repossession or damaged credit. However, failing to 
pay back loans will diminish the effectiveness and efficiency of the system. 
Then the retirement years will be effected.&amp;nbsp; Now you have control over 
this; not like the stock market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People who want to use an individualized banking system will need someone 
familiar with it to help them set it up, and not all insurance brokers are aware 
of the system. Dave has been trained in this system by nelson Nash himself, and 
has also created a bank for his family.&amp;nbsp; He understands it and knows how to 
create&amp;nbsp;them.&amp;nbsp; Every person is different on their own needs.&amp;nbsp; Dave 
understands how to work with you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, if you want to know more ask for the FREE report&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:qualityteam@sbcglobal.net&quot;&gt;.&quot;How to pocket the interest you now pay 
to Banks, Credit Cards, and other Finance Companies, for tax free income for 
life.&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;

      <title>Using infinite banking to finance purchases without lending from banks</title>
      <description>&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;You probably don&#8217;t sit around calculating how much interest you 
pay to banks and other lenders each year, but chances are you have financed 
large purchases, such as homes, education, cars and major appliances. (we all 
do)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The interest paid on these items can add up to hundreds of thousands of 
dollars, perhaps more, in the course of a lifetime. People often have to decide 
how much money to allocate for their retirement and how much to paying down 
current debt. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But what if it were possible for people to save for retirement in a vehicle 
that allowed them to finance their life in a way that provided advantages over 
borrowing from a bank or lender?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;The interest you pay to banks adds up 
very quickly.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is exactly what R. Nelson Nash had in mind when he pioneered the 
Infinite Banking Concept. In essence, Infinite Banking, and other similar 
systems adapted from Nash&#8217;s original idea, involves paying into your own BANK 
that allows&amp;nbsp; holders to take loans and then ay back.&amp;nbsp; In this system 
you fund your bank and use your own money to make money.&amp;nbsp; Now this needs to 
be done in a certain type of vehicle for it to have the best outcome.&amp;nbsp; You 
do not want to pay taxes on the money as it grow, or when you take it out.&amp;nbsp; 
You also do not want to pay penalties for&amp;nbsp;using the money early. In many 
was you re staring your own finance company.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How it works&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Infinite Banking and other individualized banking systems rely on 
participating whole life insurance policies, which build up equity and pay 
dividends. Policy holders pay premiums&#8212;which vary based on the amount of the 
death benefit chosen, along with other factors, such as the age and health of 
the policy holder&#8212;into a whole life insurance policy for a period of five to 
seven years and let the policy increase in value. This is known as the 
capitalization phase.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Generally, we try to fund most of the money into it in the first five years. 
The longer you can allow it to accumulate, obviously, the more you can pull out 
for retirement savings, the more you can pull out for larger items when set up 
right.&amp;nbsp; Not many people know how to set these up.&amp;nbsp; Go to a person that 
has been trained.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the capitalization phase, the policy becomes self-supporting; the 
returns on the policy at that point will be enough to cover the premiums. The 
annual dividends are based on how well the insurance company did that year. 
Insurance companies must invest the premiums received &#8220;in order to produce the 
benefits that are promised,&#8221; Nash wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Through the use of a paid-up additions rider, policy holders benefit from 
having their dividends reinvested into their policy, thus increasing the value 
of their policy and subsequent death benefit. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Policy holders are able to borrow up to 100 percent of the cash value of 
their whole life policy at any time with no tax penalties. A policy holder 
&#8220;outranks every potential borrower in access to the money that must be lent,&#8221; 
Nash wrote.&amp;nbsp; This I very powerful when done right.&amp;nbsp; It is not hard to 
do, you just need to know how to do it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this structure in place, policy holders are able to essentially act as 
their own personal bankers. They can loan themselves money from their own life 
insurance policies, and the interest payments go back to their own accounts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;People who participate in individualized banking are able 
to borrow money from&#8212;and repay&#8212;themselves when financing major purchases, rather 
than relying on and paying interest to banks and other outside lenders.&amp;nbsp; If 
you would like to know more about this ask for the FREE report&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:qualityteam@sbcglobal.net&quot;&gt;.&quot;How to pocket the interest you now pay 
to Banks, Credit Cards, and other Finance Companies, for tax free income for 
life.&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Your average American family is not saving 
money...at the same time, they&#8217;re spending approximately 34.5 cents on every 
dollar in interest to finance their lifestyle through banks and different 
finance companies.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; By depositing cash into a life insurance policy rather than using it 
for a major purchase, investors retain the ability to earn interest on that 
cash. Further, by borrowing from their own life insurance policy, they avoid 
having to spend that 34.5 cents per dollar on outside financing, and can instead 
pay that to their own policy. CHA CHING&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The borrowed money can be used to finance any purchase, whether or not a 
lender would typically grant a loan for it. The policy holder, as banker, gets 
to set the loan requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;You are&amp;nbsp;in total control of your own funds.&amp;nbsp; You are the 
underwriter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Policy holders must make sure that they pay back any loans they take out. If 
they don&#8217;t, the system of growing the policy&#8217;s value will fail. And you never 
want your own company to fail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People who follow through on utilizing the insurance policy as a bank are 
able to supercharge the returns guaranteed by the policy while financing things 
they would have financed anyway. The difference is that all the interest 
payments go back to the policy, not to a bank or other lender.&amp;nbsp; It is like 
the wind is pushing your car forward instead of against it.&amp;nbsp; What way does 
your car work best?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Infinite Bank is really like a complete financial system. It will provide 
money for your lifestyle, for your retirement and for your heirs, and works well 
in all phases of wealth.&lt;/p&gt;

to Banks, Credit Cards, and other Finance Companies, for tax free income for

&lt;p&gt;Dave is trained in the Infinite banking system by Nelson Nash and has helped 
others implement the system into their own lives.&amp;nbsp; He not only talks about 
it; his family does it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;

      <title>BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE! </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you are behind on your mortgage, we&amp;#39;ve developed a special program for this area that could help you recover. We only accept 4 people each month into this program so please read on only if your are serious about catching up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Why was this important program developed?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div&gt;The above question is a very important one. Good people fall behind in their payments for many reasons. Whether its a job loss, divorce or other unexpected setback, you are not alone! Why have I chosen to help you? I know from personal experience the stress and anxiety falling behind on your mortgage payments.&amp;nbsp; I happened to me a while back and had experts at the time help me.&amp;nbsp; I took time to research and look at what I might be able to do to help others.&amp;nbsp; So I developed this program. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have been helping people with money for over 10 years in some way.&amp;nbsp; If I can help you that would be great.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the methods I use to help people?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Make up the past due mortgage payments. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Stop the foreclosure process. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Wipe out &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;all&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; your credit card balances! Without bankruptcy, credit counseling, or damaging your credit in &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;any&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; way! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ll wipe out your car loans! And hand your car titles to you free and clear! No more car payment! Now you can say &amp;quot;it&amp;#39;s paid for!&amp;quot; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ll get you as much as $50,000.00 in CASH! While still saving you money each month! I&amp;#39;ve even gotten people &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;more&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; than that in the past! Some &amp;quot;only&amp;quot; want $10,000.00 in cash, or none at all. Hey, it&amp;#39;s your choice...just tell me which way you want it! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Negotiate with your lender to restructure your current mortgage. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;7.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Analyze your credit and determine what areas could be improved. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;8.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Refer to some of the top realtors in the area. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;9.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Refer to reputable and experienced investor. There are investors out there that will let you walk away with nothing in your pocket. Unfortunately for some there is no other choice. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;10.&amp;nbsp; Refer to knowledgeable and bankruptcy attorney. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To have us contact you to discuss your options, simply email me with the following information. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;MsoNormalTable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;30%&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First Name: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;30%&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Last Name &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;30%&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home Phone &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;30%&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;E-mail: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;30%&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Street &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;30%&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;City &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Put &amp;ldquo;Behind On your Mortgage Consultation Request&amp;rdquo; in the subject line&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>What you need to know before a Divorce</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;1 out of every 2 marriages ends in divorce today! That&amp;#39;s a daunting statistic and one that brings with it an abundance of emotional and financial upheaval for more than half of all married people. It is also a statistic that creates an urgent need for all individuals to become aware of how they can protect their credit standing in the face of a major life change; a change that will surely impact their financial situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While a divorce is easy enough to obtain and can be done in a fairly short period of time, the financial and credit issues emanating from the dissolution can linger for years to follow. Confusion or disagreement about who is to pay what bills and who is using specific credit cards can wreak havoc on your credit score. Late pays, no pays and insufficient funds can quickly cause the very best credit scores to plummet--it doesn&amp;#39;t have to be that way. By proactively taking just a few simple steps, individuals who are starting over can ensure that they are doing everything possible to start over with their good credit intact. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following is an example of a proactive action plan that will help you protect your credit during and after a divorce. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STEP 1: GETTING A CLEAR PICTURE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Get copies of your credit reports:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Request copies of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and Trans Union so you will have full disclosure of your situation. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Get all of your information into one place:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make a list of all OPEN accounts and accounts with balances. Then create a spreadsheet with columns for the following information: &lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Creditor Name &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Creditor Contact Number (if it is not listed on the credit report, you can find the customer service number on the back of your statement, or you can always search for it on the internet. Where there is a will, there is a way.) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Account Number (sometimes credit reports do not list the full account number, so you may have to dig up some paperwork, but it will be well worth it.) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Type of Account (i.e. auto loan, mortgage, credit card) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Current status of the account (i.e. current, past due, collection, etc.) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Total amount due &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Monthly Payment Amount&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Vesting of Account (i.e. Joint/Individual/Authorized Signer) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STEP 2: ACTING ON THE INFORMATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have assembled your information in one place, you can now begin to determine the best course of action for handling the accounts. There are two types of accounts you will be dealing with: secured and unsecured. Both are handled very differently during a divorce. Secured accounts are all accounts that have an asset attached to them, i.e. a mortgage or a car loan. Unsecured accounts are debts with no assets backing them, i.e. credit card accounts. Here are my suggestions: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A. &lt;u&gt;UNSECURED ACCOUNTS-YOUR OPTIONS:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;ELIMINATE OBLIGATIONS WHERE YOU CAN&lt;/strong&gt;: A credit card or a statement with your name on it does not make you a joint owner of the account. Unless the account was originally opened with an application SIGNED BY YOU, you may only be an authorized signer and you can request to have your name removed from the account immediately. Alternatively, vice versa, if your spouse is on the account as an authorized signer you will want to have his name removed to avoid any future charges. Be aware however, if negative credit was incurred while you were on the account, the past information will still remain. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;CLOSE JOINT ACCOUNTS&lt;/strong&gt;: If there is no balance on the account, call the creditor and close the account immediately. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;FREEZE ANY FUTURE CHARGES&lt;/strong&gt;: If there is a balance that cannot be paid off right away, the creditor typically will not allow you to close the account. In this case, call the creditor and request to freeze the account from any future charges. This will allow you to pay off the balance over time without making you vulnerable to more debt. Such an action will stop BOTH spouses from using the account, so it is important that you make certain you have another credit card in your own name before you take that course of action. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;middot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;TRANSFER BALANCES TO RESPONSIBLE PARTY&amp;#39;S INDIVIDUAL CARD:&lt;/strong&gt; Request that the responsible spouse transfer remaining balances on a joint card to another credit card with available credit that is in their name only. Once this is done, CLOSE THE JOINT ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B. &lt;u&gt;SECURED ACCOUNTS-YOUR OPTIONS:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SELL IT:&lt;/strong&gt; This is the safest and best option. You sell the asset, pay off the loan in full, wipe the slate clean and move on. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFI IT:&lt;/strong&gt; If the spouse who has responsibility can qualify for a refinance in their own name, or they have a family member who can assist them with the loan, you can have them buy you out completely and you can walk away without obligation and get your name removed from the account. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BE CAREFUL:&lt;/strong&gt; The least desirable option is to keep your name on the loan with certain terms and conditions. This option leaves your credit vulnerable to the responsible spouse&amp;#39;s actions going forward. A late payment or a default on the loan will damage your credit. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOME IMPORTANT TIPS THAT WILL HELP:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MAKE SURE THE BILLS ARE PAID-NO MATTER WHAT THE JUDGE SAYS:&lt;/strong&gt; Regardless of what the divorce decree stipulates, it does not override your account agreements with your creditors. Both spouses are liable and responsible for joint debt regardless of who the judge orders to pay the bill. If the bills are not paid and an account defaults, both spouses can be sued, and both spouses can have their wages garnished. Most late pays occur during the divorce negotiations phase. Do not allow this happen. One 30 day late can drop your score anywhere from 25-75 points, and it takes months to gain those points back. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PROTECT YOURSELF IN JOINT ACCOUNT SITUATIONS:&lt;/strong&gt; The best way to handle joint accounts is to eliminate such accounts whenever possible. Because joint accounts are approved using the information from both spouses&amp;#39; credit reports, a creditor will not remove one spouse&amp;#39;s name from an account regardless of the presence of court documents declaring a specific spouse responsible for payment and upkeep. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IF YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE YOUR NAME ON A SECURED LOAN ACCOUNT, BE SURE THAT YOUR NAME REMAINS ON THE TITLE:&lt;/strong&gt; Once your name is removed from the title, you no longer own the asset. This means that if the responsible spouse defaults on the loan, and you have to pay it, you will be paying for something that you no longer own. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FINALLY,&lt;/strong&gt; putting the action plan to work as early in the divorce process as possible will ensure your credit will be protected to the greatest extent possible. Decisive, quick action will &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;empower you to move forward&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though it may seem challenging at first, you will soon find that putting the above recommendations into action is easily done once you get started. You will also put behind you a crucial first step toward moving on with your life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do not let the worst happen to you.&amp;nbsp; Some things can just get out of control.&amp;nbsp; Do not let this.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>The Power of Compound interest</title>
      <description>&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body bgcolor=&quot;#ffffff&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compound interest&lt;/strong&gt; is the concept of adding accumulated 
interest back to the principal, so that interest is earned on interest from that 
moment on. The act of declaring interest to be principal is called 
compounding.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The power of compound interest is huge.&amp;nbsp; Take 
for example: 
&lt;p&gt;If the Native American tribe that accepted goods worth 60 &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilder&quot; title=&quot;Guilder&quot;&gt;guilders&lt;/a&gt; for the sale of 
Manhattan in 1626 had invested the money in a Dutch bank at 6.5% interest, 
compounded annually, then in 2005 their investment would be worth over &#8364;700 
billion (around US $820 billion), more than the assessed value of the real 
estate in all five boroughs of New York City.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wow that is a lot of money.&amp;nbsp; So you might not have been around in 
1626.&amp;nbsp; I know I was not, but the concept is huge.&amp;nbsp; Albert Einstein 
supposedly said that compound interest was the greatest wonder of the 
universe.&amp;nbsp; If he did not say this he should have.&amp;nbsp; It is so powerful 
that the Roman government did not allow people to make loans this way.&amp;nbsp; 
They knew that if people mad a loan to another person that is would be hard to 
pay off.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now when you take a loan out at a bank they do not use the interest the same 
way.&amp;nbsp; But the right investments do use this concept.&amp;nbsp; It is for this 
reason that I tell people they need to invest at the same time as paying down 
the debt they have.&amp;nbsp; It is a fine balance, but one that can be measured and 
looked at.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you would like to learn how to pay off all your debt and have at least 
$20,000 to $50,000 in tax free income in your golden years you should call me 
now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fact if you do not have debt and still want this type or money you should 
get a hold of me.&amp;nbsp; I can set up a plan for you so you can be free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have a great day.&lt;/p&gt;

But it is the most powerful money management tool that I have discovered in&amp;nbsp;10 years of studying what it takes to win financial freedom early in life. The best practical advice that I can offer those seeking to learn how to start saving is to start making use of the Multiply-by-25 Rule on a daily basis when faced with decisions as to whether to spend or save money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It says this.&amp;nbsp; If it costs you 100 dollars a year for&amp;nbsp;a birthday present&amp;nbsp;then you need to multiply that by 25 to pay for that item the rest of your life with out taking any more money out of your pocket. So, right now I would put away 2,500 and earn 4% a year on that money I would get $100.00 a year to pay for that&amp;nbsp;present.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This idea is to tell you that you can use this to way if you want to be spending money on something.&amp;nbsp; Is it a need or a want?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can keep writing for ever on this issue, but will wait and write more about this in a different serious.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Our goal is to have you pay off all your debt in 7 to 11 years and save money for you to have $20,000 to $50,000+ in tax free retirement income from age 62 on. &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;If I can help you in anyway please ask.&amp;nbsp; It is my goal to help people get out of debt in less time and not rely on the other to take care of them in their retirement years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best to you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Financial consultant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bartlett, IL&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start saving at the same time as you pay down debt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have any questions on how to pay down debt in&amp;nbsp;7 to&amp;nbsp;11 years and retire with an extra $20,00 to $50,000+ of tax free money email me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave is a trusted financial consultant that has helped &amp;nbsp;1,00&amp;#39;s of people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

Do you have CDs, tapes, furniture, books,&amp;nbsp;and/or&amp;nbsp;other items that you don&amp;#39;t need? Turn them into cash. You&amp;nbsp;can sell them on the Internet on one of the auction sites.&amp;nbsp; here are some: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubid.com&quot;&gt;Ubid&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ebay.com&quot;&gt;Ebay&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://auctions.yahoo.com&quot;&gt;yahoo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. If you are able to make crafts this is something that can make you some extra money and keep you from going out and spending.&amp;nbsp; Do this as a family or by yourself and relax.&amp;nbsp; Then sell these online, and craft shows.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.grpvne.com/sIllinois.asp&quot;&gt; Look at this list of craft shows in IL alone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. You might be able to provide a service that other people would pay for. Some common jobs are to babysit, shovel snow, run errands, clean windows, and many other small things that do not take much time, but people hate to do.. Do you have special skills? You could get paid to translate, be a tutor, type, paint, or repair items. Even if you have a full-time job, you might be able to do enough of these things to make some extra money each week. Just one extra job a week that you get paid $50.00 on can make you some money.&amp;nbsp; Figure you only do one job a week that makes you $50.00 and you take 12 weeks off a year or can&amp;#39;t find someone to pay you the $50.00&amp;nbsp; That is an extra $2,000 a year.&amp;nbsp; Now I know people can do this.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Look for a part time job. You could deliver papers, deliver phone books, or work in a store. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. You can make some extra money working from Home.&amp;nbsp; These jobs have some huge benefits.&amp;nbsp; You have some tax saving that come from these like no other tax savings.&amp;nbsp; Here are just some of these.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://coachd.savingshighway.com/&quot;&gt;Savingshighway alows you to save money by helping other make money.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://coachd.goambit.com/index.asp&quot;&gt;Ambit Energy is allowing people to make money off of energy deregulation and saving people money&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://r.yuwie.com/coachd&quot;&gt;Yuwie is an online social network that aloows people to make money just by looking at other people pages and meeting people&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; These are just three.&amp;nbsp; There are many more out there too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. You might get paid for taking part in a research study at a hospital or a college. Some marketing companies pay people to share their thoughts about a certain product or service as part of a focus group. My wife and I do this.&amp;nbsp; It is fun and sometimes they even feed you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;7. If you work, check your last three years&amp;#39; income taxes to make sure you took all the deductions available to you. File an amended return if you find more deductions. Claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Credit, and Child Care Credit if you are eligible. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. Collect money that other people owe you, including child support. At your job try&amp;nbsp;to work overtime, work toward a promotion, or ask for a raise. Use your job benefits. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now watch out for the people that want to take advantage of you.&amp;nbsp; Do not spend money on things that seem to good to be true.&amp;nbsp; Have a goal in mind on how much extra you want to make and go for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These 8 ideas are just some of the ideas out there.&amp;nbsp; Think of what you can do.&amp;nbsp; I hope these 8 ideas make you think. If I can help you in anyway please ask.&amp;nbsp; It is my goal to help people get out of debt in less time and not rely on the other to take care of them in their retirement years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best to you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Financial consultant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bartlett, IL&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find ways to increase income&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have any questions on how to pay down debt in&amp;nbsp;7 to&amp;nbsp;11 years and retire with an extra $20,00 to $50,000 of tax free money email me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave is a trusted financial consultant that has helped &amp;nbsp;1,00&amp;#39;s of people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

Late payments on one card can increase fees and interest rates on other cards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Cut your cable bill by shopping the service and maybe cutting the amount of channels.&amp;nbsp; Many times you can save $25 or more a month just on this little item.&amp;nbsp; Remember, if you have a family it is a family affair.&amp;nbsp; By doing this now the whole family will be better off in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Do not buy as much in gifts.&amp;nbsp; Instead make some gifts to give away.&amp;nbsp; It can be much cheaper and most of the time mean a whole lot more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;When you go to buy food take a list with you.&amp;nbsp;Only buy what is on the list.&amp;nbsp; It will save you money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Eat in more often.&amp;nbsp; You do not need to eat out all the time and it is better for you to eat in. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;When going out to do things look at ways to do it for free.&amp;nbsp; Go to a park, Library, community movie, or other fun things.&amp;nbsp; You can do this for dates as well.&amp;nbsp; Some of the best dates I ever went on never cost me a cent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Find the things you spend money on that are not needed.&amp;nbsp; Go back and see where you money is going.&amp;nbsp; Cut back or stop those things.&amp;nbsp; You can do it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Be careful of people tell you to cut things that are important to the families well being.&amp;nbsp; Some say to get rid of insurance.&amp;nbsp; This is not wise.&amp;nbsp;Also some will tell you not to save.&amp;nbsp; Well the fact is that you should be saving at the same time as you pay off your debt.&amp;nbsp; both can be done at the same time.&amp;nbsp; Once you pay off al your debt then you can save a little more and have a little more to spend.&amp;nbsp; Always living in a budget with goals in mind.&amp;nbsp; It is nice when you can reward your self when you do well.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So now in that written plan before you need to have in there gifts of praise.&amp;nbsp; When you have reached a milestone go out and do something in reason.&amp;nbsp;These are all things Dave can talk to you about and help you with.&amp;nbsp; It is about you and the needs and wants.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Start your action plan now.&amp;nbsp; Get a hold of Dave and start.&amp;nbsp; It costs nothing and you want to be one of the 7 he&amp;nbsp;works with&amp;nbsp;in a given month.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find ways to cut expenses&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Written plan&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/8/2/2/1/ar119566492412284.jpg&quot; height=&quot;72&quot; alt=&quot;hand writing on paper&quot; width=&quot;96&quot; /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Have a written Pay Down Debt Plan.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Develop written plans for&amp;nbsp;your everyday&amp;nbsp;expenses and&amp;nbsp;debt payments for the next year. If you need some worksheets for these ask Dave.&amp;nbsp; He will send you them free.&amp;nbsp; They will help you figure out what you cash flow is.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now that you have a written picture of your financial situation, you are ready to begin to evaluate your situation and make decisions about the best use of dollars to&amp;nbsp;use to pay down your debt&amp;nbsp;and get to more solid financial ground.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To pay off all your debt in 7 to 11 years you need a solid plan.&amp;nbsp; Some people can pay off all their debt in three years and others 12.&amp;nbsp; We have learned how to look at all the information and get people out of debt in the fastest amount of time.&amp;nbsp; Remember it is a plan that you need to be able to do and live.&amp;nbsp; So do not through all your money at debt.&amp;nbsp; You need to save some and need to use some.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave is available to talk with you about how you can do this.&amp;nbsp; For him to create a debt plan is not always fast because of all the work it takes.&amp;nbsp; In most case it takes him 48 hours from the time he gets all he needs to get one done and for you to see your options.&amp;nbsp; He does this free because he wants to see people debt free and have a savings so they do not need to work their whole life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you would like to get the worksheets to help in having a written debt plan ask for them.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you would like Dave to help you create a debt plan ask him for that as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember becoming debt free is possible.&amp;nbsp; Do not stay up late at night feeling your gut do flips.&amp;nbsp;Act now.&amp;nbsp; Dave only works with 7 new debt plans a month.&amp;nbsp; This is the only way he can do it for people free and still help his current clients become debt free and stay that way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Have a written Pay Down Debt Plan.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
