- Smart or Silly Saving? What's What? How To Properly "Save" Your Money
Is saving money smart or silly? It is a very common belief that saving money is the smart thing to do. Although the question should be what do the wealthy do with their money. Even In the Bible saving money was frowned upon by Jesus.. Why is that? Isn't that the smart thing to do, to save as much money as you can in a bank account, shoe box, or under your mattress for a rainy day, retirement, starting a business ect? The simple answer is no! Saving money isn't smart. Why is that, many may ask? Simplify because of inflation. The average inflation rate for the USA is 8% plus per year. So that means for every 100 dollars you save the following year you technically lose $8 dollars. If you made it to 1 million in savings you would basically be losing 80 thousand dollars a year.. Now you tell me is saving money the best idea? So what are supposed to do? Well lets start with what the wealthy do. They dont save money they invest! In what you may ask. . They invest in tangible assets or income producing intangible assets. The key is to find assets or investments that increase in value, produce interest, or become a dependable stream of income. There are 2 main types of assets & investments liquid & Illiquid. If its money for a rainy day you will want liquid if for long term purposes and you dont need fast access ither will do fine. There are various options that are night and day better then "saving" your money. Even Jesus looked down upon "saving" money. A clear example of this is given in the bible in the book of Mathew chapter 25. Where Jesus gave money to 3 people. 2 Indvidual's you took what Jesus gave them and multiplied it. While the other went, buried and hid what was given to him. Jesus was very pleased with the two individuals who multiplied there money but pissed at the Indvidual who "saved" and didnt use what was given to make more. Here are a few well known easy assets and investments you can get into. First one up reit's "Real estate Investment Trusts" Most earn far above 10% annually though dont often offer liquidity without a fee. IUL's are one of the best investments for their many benefits in addition to above average returns. Then you have tangible assets such as precious gems, art, & numismatics. Which all if properly bought at true market price will easily increase in value far above 15% per year. Lastly is the riskiest but if properly done will allow for a quarterly or annual cash flow in addition to staying above inflation rates with liquidity. This my friends is dividend stocks. The key with divined stock is to find time tested companies with perpetual steady growth. Average quarterly to annual divided for these types of company's range from 2-5%+. When paired with their increased growing value in stock price you will be above the inflation rate of 8% annually. Bottom line here, if nothing else at least put your liquid funds in a interest bearing account such as one offered by various lenders at rates between 4-5% instead of just sitting around decreasing in value. Invest don't save. Do what the wealthy do if you want to be wealthy.
- Love? Is it a feeling? Or is it a choice? Depends On who you ask, right? Some say yes some say no.. But why?
Love? Is it a feeling? Or is it a choice? Even better what does it really even mean? Some say yes some say no and so many dont know. Depends On who you ask, right? But why?

To die for all, that truly loves us more then we can comprehend! Who better is there then to find out and understand what love is and was made to be like then the one true God who created Jesus to love us more then we can understand or know is possible. The General World View Here In The USA Is: It is a feeling of strong attraction and or emotional attachment Ancient Greek philosophers believed there are 6 types of love Modern Day philosophers believe there to be 8 types of love. While the bible on the other hand clearly describes only one universal type with many characteristics. For in order for it to be true love that all parts must be followed. Making it a choice and commitment to love someone fully and truly. In the English language it is written in the bible as the word charity. Just Some Of The Characteristics Of True Biblical Love Are: It Suffers Long (Meaning If You Truly Love Some One You Will Suffer With Or For Them) It does not mean if they treat you poorly to suffer because of them. Is Kind It will show great delight and happiness It is truthful It can bear even the worst situation and overcome it It won't think about, do, or say evil to you It won't easily upset you It won't be foul or unjust to you Things Biblical True Love Doesn't Do Are: It doesn't have Envy It isn't boastful It is not prideful It is not one sided Bottom Line Love Is Hardcore No Joke Heavy And Deep Vast & Amazing!

- Cigarettes & Food! Some Say They Go Hand And Hand While Most Would Agree They Don't? Or Do They?
What are the chances they do!? We are not talking about a smoke with or after dinner here! What would be the chances the same people that brought you, stinky cancer causing chemical protection in a stick aka cigarettes are the same companies that brought you some or your favorite childhood snakes and so called food! At the same time changing the food industry across the world! Would you believe it? Read More If You Dare But Know You May Never Look At Food The Same Again! Cigarettes and food! Well, for some smokers, that sounds like a delight—a lit cigarette after a nice meal. But for non-smokers, of course not, right? Well, who would have thought that the two go hand in hand in another light? Here's the kicker: the same companies that brought you chemically perfected highly addictive cigarettes with top-of-the-line advertising campaigns also used their skills to produce a worldwide controversy with what many still call food, some call treats, and those that know better call products. We are not talking about some fly-by-night brands here; we are talking about brands you could find in almost every American home and countless ones abroad. Brands such as Kraft, General Foods, and Nabisco! That's right, those same brands were for many years owned by two cigarette companies, producing many childhood favorites such as Kraft Mac & Cheese, Jello-O, Kool-Aid, Oscar Mayer hot dogs, Oreo cookies, Teddy Grahams, Ritz crackers, and SnackWell's fat-free Devils Food cookies. To name a few! Remember Lunchables!? Yep, those were even referred to as blood pressure bombs by some doctors at a time who understood how bad they really were. Findings suggest that tobacco companies engineered processed foods to hit what is known as our "bliss" point and elicit cravings, said Ashley Gearhardt, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan who studies food addiction. She said that hyper-palatable foods have a lot in common with addictive substances. They contain ingredients from naturally occurring plants and foods that have been purified, concentrated, and transformed into products that are quickly absorbed into our bloodstreams, which amplifies their ability to light up reward centers in our brains. Tobacco companies got into the food business over 60 years ago to diversify their product portfolios. These same highly profitable firms had extensive libraries of colors, flavors, and additives that they developed for cigarettes. Executives, likely driven by profit and greed, realized they could use these ingredients to make a variety of highly addictive processed foods. More than likely, they couldn't have imagined how well it worked or how successful it could be, but at what cost? When most people are consumed with work, kids, and bills, those who have the time to obsess over sports, politics, or celebrities are often one in the same. How many people are taking the time to fact-check and research the new popular items people are feeding their kids or snaking on work to get through a busy day? That's what we have the FDA for, right? I mean, if it were FDA-approved, how bad could it really be? Well, if you're old enough, you might even remember the days when cigarettes were not only doctor-approved but also doctor-recommended and said to be safe even for pregnant women. I kid you not. Though we live in a fast-paced, highly technological world, how much do you really think has changed since then? Are we more informed?? Or just as trusting or naive as what is accepted or supported as healthy or safe today? The keys here are what is said to be often not so be wise to what you decide to put in your mouth, as just when we were small and your mother would say don't put that in your mouth or get that out of your mouth. Well, the catch 22 was that they were the same ones feeding us what no one should be even eating if they knew better. Does this cycle not continue today? The good news is that all bad cycles can be broken one day and one choice at a time. Eat wisely and get and stay healthy, my friends.
