7 Habits of Highly Frugal People, or How to Get the Boat You Always Wanted
Or how to get the retirement you always wanted, or just about anything
else. As this excellent article points out, it is all about attitude. http://moneyning.com/frugality/7-hab...frugal-people/ A quick quote from the beginning: ===== The book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has sold over 15 million copies since it was first published in 1989, teaching people all over the world how to live a happier, more successful and more satisfying life. One of the prevailing themes of the book is the fact that to change your life you need to change your attitude because no one else is responsible for what happens to you but you, so you can either complain about the things you don’t like in your life or you can set about changing them. ===== |

Read the book and did the course in about 1993. I found it very beneficial. I have even pulled the book out for a periodic re-read. But a warning, fleabaggers might not like it because it means organizing their thoughts and life plans. And they fear being successful when it is easier to whine a lot and ask government to steal and ponzi fraud debt for them. -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt. |

Right along side balancing the check book. Teach the meaning of debt. There is a hilarious program called "T'll Debt Do Us Part" were couples are in serious debt problems. Many even have college and university educations but can't do a basic house hold budget. Sad but true. http://www.slice.ca/shows/showspage.aspx?title_id=93097 Now I know a degree in say chemistry or electronics isn't finance, but part of graduation with a degree means you should be able to think, read a basic personal finance book and move on to be a millionaire. But so few can. A shame, we are our worst enemies. -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt. |

I wish I'd been presented this when I was a teenager. This is the kind of thing that should be part of a high school curriculum. It would be much more appropriate than a lot of the crap that's being taught. The best thing you could teach a teenager is to get in the habit of paying yourself first. Set up a savings program from day one where you put something like a tenth of your income into savings. If you start right away you will not miss the money. Then after a while, when you need a car or something, you can buy it and not finance it. If you do that, make car payments anyway ... to yourself. Once you get started, you end up spending as much money as everyone else but you are paying yourself back instead of making a banker rich. It is all just getting started on the right foot. I always hear the bleeding hearts say they can't afford to save any money but somehow they can still manage to come up with 12-29% of most of what they spend to send to a banker in interest. That's been a good philosophy. I have three kids, 35, 32, and 20. Every since they were born I've put something liquid away for them. It started off as a mere dollar away for them in a savings account. , I've done some adjusting around, but when you consider that was just 7 bucks a week.. Ok so if I'd continued to do that, 1 dollar x365 x 35 years. I still woudl be loading up the oldest with a ppretty good chunk, with really nothing. after the accounts would reach a thousand, I'd buy a long term CD and let them ride and renew them when the term was due. Of course intrest rates on savings and CD's are almost nothing, but the money's there. It doesn't take long to stash away something simple and in the long run it's payed off well. |

You can believe you did "did it on my own." If you're 50 years and can't find a job, a good attitude might keep your wife from divorcing you. Nothing wrong with these self-help books if you have an "attitude problem" and can change that. But when a smart guy sees the boss reading 7 Habits on company time he knows the boss's superior gave it to him to read in preparation for laying off some people. The boss might not even know that yet. But his superior did. Habit 2 - Begin With the End in Mind. The sales of these books was mostly to corporate execs, who passed them out to staff. The bottom line - if you fail, you didn't follow "The Book." Doesn't matter whether you followed its precepts or not. According to the book, you failed. Much like a Holy Bible, Torah or Koran for "corporatists," but without the humanistic parts. Another such "corporatist" book is "Who Moved My Cheese?" When that one gets passed out to employees, it means "Watch your ass closely, because we are fixing to bugger whoever we can." And if you do all you possibly can to avoid that, but still get buggered, it's because you're not good enough. So reread Cheese, and get a copy of 7 Habits. You're just doing something wrong. The Books so say. |

American and American Business, that's left are being raped and plundered. The dollar and the economy is Americans' fault or Wall Street/Washington? Are you in favor of deconstructing Middle America? Fine if you ar of the 1/10 of 1% and your loyalties are not to our Republic, Americans and our future.

One of the prevailing themes of the book is the fact that to change your life you need to change your attitude because no one else is responsible for what happens to you but you, so you can either complain about the things you don’t like in your life or you can set about changing them. ===== This is small stuff but; My son paid for his vacation by putting his change including dollar bills in a large mason jar. he had over 400.00 in coin change. Every time we get an solicitation for a magazine, or whatever: every time we get a refund, or small check, and on Monday whatever we have left in the wallet except 20.00 is put into a savings account. I just started the last bit. In four years it is over 7,000.00. Doesn't earn much interest. I and everybody else loses what wasn't spent thanks to Wall Street/Fed/Washington but at least that amount is there if we gotta use it. Whats our dollar worth now three cents? Mad as hell. Looks like Bilderbergs are fulfilling their goals. Gotta find my cave and meadow. Which taste better fescue or blue grass? Funny, I put $10K in a TFSA (Canadian version of a ROTH) just 2 1/2 years ago now, sitting at $23K. Money is attracted to people who know how to manage it. Got this from my grandfather. Wise words. Think of money as a depreciating stock and the entire US government debt dilutes that stock every day. Would you buy a stock like that when you could own precious metals or oil that retains value? How much would a company be worth if they created 20% new no value stock every year? Well, it is that simple as to what is happening to the USD value. DC prints it faster than toilet paper, it will eventually become diluted enough to be toilet paper. You didn't think that 0% interest rate Federal debt was fee did you? I don't know where you are going with this. Apples and oranges. Our Retirement before devaluation has averaged about 18%. We're not goint to be wealthy but if what Wall Street/Washington has/is doing doesn't crash the economy we will be able to eat. Speaking of which some nice lawns are going into kitchen gardens aronud here, this year. It is your own government that not only lets it happen, they partake in it!!!! Hey, if I put $1000 into SS...it generates say 1% interest in a 3% inflationary environment...the value of the money falls 2% every year. Add that up with something the size of SS well....it is big. If the US government just bought gold or oil and sat on it since SS was created, the ROI would have been better. So when big pensions do it, well, government can't really call it a scam really can they? That is why I say, "In your account, in your name, in your control" is the only way to go for pension planning. Stops the skimming and screwing. But that is the price for government knows best. -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt. |

One of the prevailing themes of the book is the fact that to change your life you need to change your attitude because no one else is responsible for what happens to you but you, so you can either complain about the things you don?t like in your life or you can set about changing them. ===== It's easy to have a good attitude if you participated on the plus side of the biggest financial rape of the American people since the days of the Oil Barons. You can believe you did "did it on my own." If you're 50 years and can't find a job, a good attitude might keep your wife from divorcing you. Nothing wrong with these self-help books if you have an "attitude problem" and can change that. But when a smart guy sees the boss reading 7 Habits on company time he knows the boss's superior gave it to him to read in preparation for laying off some people. The boss might not even know that yet. But his superior did. Habit 2 - Begin With the End in Mind. The sales of these books was mostly to corporate execs, who passed them out to staff. The bottom line - if you fail, you didn't follow "The Book." Doesn't matter whether you followed its precepts or not. According to the book, you failed. Much like a Holy Bible, Torah or Koran for "corporatists," but without the humanistic parts. Another such "corporatist" book is "Who Moved My Cheese?" When that one gets passed out to employees, it means "Watch your ass closely, because we are fixing to bugger whoever we can." And if you do all you possibly can to avoid that, but still get buggered, it's because you're not good enough. So reread Cheese, and get a copy of 7 Habits. You're just doing something wrong. The Books so say. I liked that book too, Cheese. Yep, don't wait, always look for where the next piece of cheese is coming from. Both are good books. -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt. |

Herring apparently supports this group, since one of the commentators on the post he referenced agreed: This is part of the jewish plan for Wrold government (New Wrold order) found in "The protocols of the learned elders of Zion". Indoctrinate the youth with Marxist ideology and destroy our freedoms from within. It's a generational thing! You Americans better wake up soon, because under their system of control, MILLIONS will have to DIE. Just look to the former Soviet Union under Bolshevik control 1917 on and you will SEE!!
