Today, everyone is looking for more money. Prices are going up on all the necessities but not incomes. Who doesn’t want to, maximize the money do they have and look for ways to supplement their retirement years?

If you’re like most American’s, you are so busy working and looking after your family’s needs right now that you don’t have time to look for money saving coupons, career advice or money advice, information that could be vital to your families fiscal well being.

Well I want to point you in the direction of an entertaining info blogger called The Frugal Dad. The Frugal Dad says that his reader is you, the average family who is looking for help when it comes to surviving financially and to save you time, he has done the homework for you by providing you with solid information , money saving coupons and a list of resources that will save you both time and money at many of the stores you already shop at.

The Frugal Dad says he is a conservative ( in money advice only) blogger who has captured the attention and been featured in , The New Yorker, Fast Company, PC Magazine, Mashable to name a few.

Who is this guy and why should you listen to him? Well he clearly admits he is not a financial pro, however like many of us he has made financial mistakes, learned from them and is now sharing the benefit of his business and personal wisdom.

My husband is very proud that he has NEVER, let me say that again, NEVER once given Visa a penny in interest. YES, he uses his Visa but he makes sure he pays that bill in full even if he pulls it from his line of credit. This is a smart move as interest rates on a line of credit may be around 3 to 4 % compared to 29% for a credit card.

Are you Looking for MORE than your FAIR SHARE of the Global Pie?

admin — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:23:54 +0000

THE GLOBAL PIE

What would be your fair share of the global pie if everything was divided equally among everyone on this planet?

If all the land on Planet Earth was divided into equal parcels, each person would have slightly less than five acres.

This would include many uninhabitable areas, such as Antarctica, Greenland, high mountain peaks, swampy lowlands, areas preserved for wildlife, recreational parks, hostile deserts, water systems (lakes, rivers), military bases and other restricted areas, further reducing reasonable inhabitable land masses to approximately three acres per person.

And if you add the amount of land required to grow food crops and raise livestock for the ever-increasing population, it's down to about two acres available per person.

As the world population continues to increase year after year, less land is available for each person. There is only so much land on this planet and they aren’t making any more.

A more startling statistic is how much money each of us would have if divided equally.

If all of the currency in circulation in the world was converted to US dollars and divided equally among everyone on the planet, we would each have approximately $450, give or take a few dollars depending on fluctuating factors.

Currency in circulation means all the money you have in your wallet or purse or cookie jar, plus all the cash businesses, including banks, have on hand. Basically, all the paper money and coins that have been printed or minted in all the countries in the world and are in public circulation, even if it’s sitting in a vault in a bank somewhere.

This does not include accumulated wealth, such as stocks, bonds, real estate holdings, net worth and so on. This is not currency; it's a paper trail. Most banks only have enough cash on hand to cover a small percentage of customer deposits.

So if you own a couple of acres and have $450 in your pocket or cookie jar, you have acquired your share of the global pie.

If you’re content with what you have, I salute you. Peace of mind is far more important than land or money.

And if you have more than your fair share, so much the better. Through effort or good fortune, you’ve exceeded the norm.

But if you’re dissatisfied unless you have more than your fair share, I pity you. More for you means less for others.

We live on a planet of credit and consumption, where more is better and endless growth is encouraged.

We work far too many hours to acquire far too many things, and governments bleed us dry while keeping the insidious cycle of excessive taxation and expansion of power (more government, less individual freedom) going full throttle, even if it means continually borrowing more and more against the future thereby creating enormous public debt to be passed onto future generations.

There’s a difference between having as much as you want and having as much as you need.

If you want more than your fair share, you suffer from envy.

If you need more than your fair share, you suffer from greed.

If you believe you are entitled to the earnings of others, you are a thief.

Your fair share of the global pie isn't so far out of reach — if you lust for more than your fair share, you have an inflated sense of self-importance.

The best things in life aren't things. Happiness is about being content with what you have, not with what you seek to have.

Like it or not, we're all in this together. Life is not about winning or losing, or accumulating more than others — success only occurs when everyone succeeds.
