After last week’s mishap, I am pretty sure Tim Cahill just kissed his Massachusetts gubernatorial race good bye- better yet his political career… I my opinion, Public Service should be about Serving the
people rather than enriching ones pockets /ego

The Road to Financial Freedom in the New Year
With the holiday season underway and the New Year around the corner, this is the time when many of us reminisce and reevaluate some of our life’s goals. However, due to the uncertainty of the current global economic situation many of us are sure about one thing, this recession has permanently altered the way we look at the world of finance and investments. When the recession begun, a lot of people were certain that it would be a bumpy ride but little did they know that they would see their lifesavings, 401ks, net worth and the hard work from all those years vanish in a blink of a second. Despite these shortcomings and the unpredictable economic condition, financial security should be a priority for everyone in the coming year.
Today, a lot of people are terrified to look at their finances because they don’t want to see the ugly situation and state of their finances .And there are others that are probably just plain scared because they think they do not know much about finance and investing. Every successful investor starts with the basics because no one is born knowing how to save or invest. And, it does not help that time and again we have been relentlessly told that money does not grow on trees. Although that is true, the gist of the saying that they fail to tell us is that money can grow when you save and invest wisely.Knowing how to secure your financial wellbeing is one of the most important things you’ll ever need in life. You don’t have to be a genius to do it. You just need to know a few basics, make a plan, and be ready to stick to it. No matter how much or little money you have, the important thing is to educate yourself about your opportunities.
However you should also remember that no one can guarantee that you’ll make money from the investment you make since investments fluctuate. No one can even guarantee that you will make a profit from these investments. The reason I bring this up is because I spoke with a couple of friends who told me that they do not care much about investing because their company guarantees a retirement plan for them. The key word is “GUARANTEE”. I do not mean to scare anyone but if you hear the word “Guaranteed investment” you ought to do more due diligence to avoid being scammed. Nevertheless, when you get the facts about saving, investing, and then follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money. Essentially, regardless of where you are right now or where you are going, each and everyone of us can benefit from a healthy financial plan. Here are a couple of things to remember in the coming new year as we embark on this journey to financial freedom.
Keys to financial success
1) Make money.
2) Keep a personal budget.
3) Don’t spend it all.
4) Reduce your debt/improve your credit rating.
5) Start an emergency fund (3-6 months. However, given the current political/economic situation at least 12month is ideal).
6) Plan to buy a home versus rent.
7) Save and invest (For retirement, education and other life changing events).
8) Diversifying and dollar cost averaging are key to your plan.
9) Spend time to review and reassign your plan.
10) Education (Keep learning and educating yourself).
PS. At least the above strategy is going to be my game plan for the next year or so. If you also follow foot and make it to the first million mark, please remember to send me a check. You know the contacts-right!!

A Visit to the Doctor's
Guess what? The next time I go to any medical person with the title “Doctor” before their name I will let them guess what brings me to their office on that particular day. I do know why, but I always get a feeling that they tell me the same thing I told them but except in a totally new alien language.
FYI: This is left for interpretation and I do not mean to portray the “Doctors” in any unfavorable way.
