KIDS UNDERSTANDING MONEY


Teaching kids how to value money, how to balance a checkbook, and how to understand the purpose and use of a credit card are not taught in our school system. We systematically overlook these critical topics because our educational structure focuses only on the financial aspects as they relate to us in adulthood.
It is vital for kids to understand the value, usages, and respect of this exchange tool; call money, at an early age. This will convey the monetary value of our currency to kids, so they can understand money during the most receptive phase of their life – the adolescent stage.
A credit card is not a license to shop uncontrollably; credit cards are used and recognized all over the world as an acceptable form of monetary exchange.  This instrument gives the cardholder significant buying power to purchase items at will – when used in a sensible manner. 
Responsibility is the act of doing the right thing and making the right decision in any situation.  It takes a responsible person to save money, balance a checkbook, use a credit or debit card, plan for college and shop smartly. 
Are you responsible? ________




Kids Under$tanding Money

From Chapter One – Savings Account

As Tamari and Rojay converse back and forth about dividing their newly found money, Deena, the oldest of the bunch, says, “A penny is the lowest currency we have in this country, so, as Tamari said, ‘We can’t divide it evenly.’
She pauses for a second, with direct eye contact on the penny, she continues, “This penny will be mine and the next penny that we find will go to Tamari, because she’s the next…

From Chapter Two – Checking Account

Each month, Julio notices his parents writing out the bills religiously, so one day he asks his papa, “What is that paper you’re writing numbers, words, and then signing your signature on?”
His papa looks at him and says, “These are checks. We use them to pay our bills and make purchases with the money in our checking account.”

From Chapter Five – Smart Shopping

Lisa’s best friend, Carla, drove up and toots the horn, signaling the start of several hours of shopping at the mall.
But before Lisa can take a step out the front door, her mom approaches for a hug and kiss goodbye, and to instruct her little angel to shop responsibly, and to also remind her, that this ease of spending has gotten a lot of kids into financial trouble over the years.
From Chapter Six -  Preparing for College

From Chapter Six – Preparing For College

Going to college is not a free pass out of your parents’ house to have fun for three to five years; it’s a true test of your ability to live and survive away from home on your own. This period will set you up for the unexpected challenges the world has to offer in the future.
Apply for all the scholarships your have access to and prepare for your SAT and/or ACT examinations early to maximize the best score to make yourself more marketable
From Chapter Nine -  Retirement

Chapter Nine – Retirement

Planning your retirement from an early age will allow you to secure a retirement exit point to leave the work force. You should also; plan an exit strategy to allow yourself the lifestyle you would like to live when you retire.
Putting money in a financial vessel, such as a Roth or a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and taking the stock options from your employer, will significantly prepare you for a retirement.








R. Edward  Norwood was born in Brooklyn, New York.  He earned a Bachelor degree in Human Resource Management from Hawaii Pacific University, Honolulu, Hawaii.   With the release of Kid’s Under$tanding Money, he is now a children’s book author. 
The subject of money is not taught in our school's curriculum, so, he’s passionate about exposing this topic to kids at an early age.   He enjoys finance and provides financial help to family and friends, but, he’s most passionate about providing children’s literature to develop future financial habits to our youths.

SLAVE SYSTEM

BREAK DOWN THE SLAVE SYSTEM

Its going to be very difficult for us to start doing things like working together in harmony, take back our Black hair industry, respecting each other etc etc, if we don’t first create an atmosphere that speaks to all these conditions. That’s what using the words Slave System mean and will create. This is something we can all do it will not cost you anything just a little effort is needed.



“Stop calling our fore father and mothers Slaves.” Just tell everyone our fore fathers and mothers were placed in the Slave System and that’s the way you are saying it from now on (Calling it by its rightful name). Calling them SLAVES

is a prim example of the slave system working in full bloom against us. Don’t try to explain it just make the statement. (Most people will understand because the statement speaks for itself.) It is not good to explain the Slave System but you can point to the things that most of us complain about, that’s the slave system. The slave system teaches us to always explain everything. When you explain everything it gives the Slave System information to make you sound like you don’t know what you are talking about. We don’t need words we need action. So don’t explain just keep saying you know longer accept the words SLAVE or SLAVERY anymore.

NO GAS DAY!!!


Join the fast-spreading movement to not buy gas on March 31st, 2011,
and together in unity we can show those big oil CEO's that we are fed up.

The idea is pretty simple: just don't buy gasoline on March 31
By filling up the day before the protest, organizers hope oil companies lose millions if not billions of dollars.
Instead of giving you money away try supporting a BLACK BUSINESS OWNER

If you do stop by a gas station and buy anything that isn't gas --
food, drinks, lottery tickets, charcoal, that ice scraper you've always wanted --
just don't pull up to the pump.

With the added publicity from the media, we are already making them nervous.
They are upset that a Facebook user Sarah Thompson (kudos for her)would create a day like this
but as the price of gas continue to increase, I agree that something need to be done.
 Users on the site are constantly concerned if gas will rise to $5 or even $6 a gallon this summer.

"This is about taking a stand together against greedy people whose commodity happens to affect all other commodity prices," Thompson says.

And if you really want to save money at the gas pump, other way to help is to simple:  drive less.

It's clear that the events in the world is commanding for each individual to take a more responsible path in their individual lives. So do that mean 2 more flat screen T.V.'s with the income tax this year? Or should the entire household have their passport I.D.s?

Beautiful SeeAsia is sitting in for Isis 360, our resource Queen, providing us with an abundance of deals, loopholes, financial information, investments, etc. This week: SeeAsia is talking to the people about the best investments to make with your taxes this year. No more flat screen T.V.'s and useless gadgets that can't go with you when you die. Time to invest into what can give you a return back. Time to turn the falling dollar into a climbing investment that can save your life. 2/5/2011 - 9AM EASTERN STANDARD TIME (347) 994-3789

FUNDING YOUR BUSINESS

Five Ways to Fund Your Business

by Nars Dargenson on December 20, 2010
Create a Venture Fund
A venture fund is an account you use in order to fund your business ideas. A venture fund should be separated from your emergency fund. A venture fund should be allocated to monthly. Each time you get paid you may want to add to your venture fund. One can open a high interest rate saving account and have your funds directly deposited into the account.

  
Fire A Bill
One of the main reasons we cannot save money is the fact that we have too many bills. One of the best ways to fund your ventures is to have extra money. Having too many bills keeps you from getting an important source of funding. Therefore one of the best ways to build your entrepreneurship fund is to pick a bill or any bill and fire it. One has to make the necessary sacrifices in order to fulfill one’s dream. Look at your bills and choose one you can go without.


Borrow Money
One of the most conventional ways to fund a venture is to use other people’s money. One can get a bank loan to fund a venture. Banks are known to have high lending standards for businesses. In many cases banks would like you to personally be liable for the business. Meaning if the business fails you can be financially liable. Banks also require you to have an ironclad business plan. A secondary source of business financing is the Small Business Administration. The Small Business Administration is a federal agency desired to support small businesses. The Small Business Administration provides a great resource for aspiring business owners. One can apply for loans and grants from the SBA.  A loan requires that you pay back the principal and the interest to the lender. The lender has rights to the assets of one’s business if the loans are not successful.
Equity
Another source of business funding is equity. Business owners can sell equity in their business to venture capitalist and angel investors. The tradeoff is that the funding source will have ownership in your business. They will also have rights to the profit of your business. In many cases they will also want to be able to govern the decisions of your business. This can be good or bad depending on the venture capital you are working with. Finding angel investors and venture capitalist was difficult once upon a time but now with the internet it has become easier. There are three websites aspiring business owners can go to in order to receive money. You will have to be able to pitch your business idea and will even need a business plan. The websites are Go Big Network, Go4Funding and RaiseCapital. These websites bring business owners and business investors together.
Sell Your Stuff
Many of us have hundreds of dollars of stuff in our possession. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. One can sell unused items via Craigslist, Ebay and/or Amazon. One can use the funds in order to help fund their business. The process for selling items is fairly simple. All one needs is a camera, computer, paypal, a product and a mailing address.
Funding a business venture can be difficult. However there are many options available in order to take your business to the next level. One will need to be focused and make sacrifices, but your dreams can become a reality

TIPS FOR INCREASING YOUR CREDIT SCORE


In my everyday line of work, a good credit score is often times essential for me and a client to work together. There is only one instance where some one’s credit score has no bearing on our ability to work together and that is when the client is paying cash with no financing. In the real estate industry, cash deals happen but the majority of what makes this industry, and most other industries, tick is access to capital via some form of financing. However, if the applicant for credit has a poor credit score and a history of late or non payment of bills, they will simply be denied credit and asked to come back when their score is sufficient. You can improve your credit score in no time with 5 easy steps.
  1. Pay down your credit cards – Obviously, one way to improve your credit score is to pay down the debt you already have. What isn’t so obvious is which debt you should pay down first. Because normal life circumstances often leaves us with long term debt like student loans and mortgages, you shouldn’t worry about paying these down immediately. These debts are understood and weight differently in the calculation of your credit score. Credit cards on the other hand is the debt you want to pay down if not completely off as soon as possible. According to MSN Money, keeping a balance below 30% of your credit limit on each card will help your score significantly.
  2. Use your old credit cards – In the calculation of your credit score, older accounts bear more weight in the calculation. They show more your payment history and your ability to manage credit. However, if you haven’t used them in a long time, they start to lose their luster in the calculation because non usage is almost as bad as having no credit at all. So, if you have any old cards that you never use, bring them back out 3-4 times a year and charge a small amount. But remember to pay that small amount down or off before the due date of your next statement.
  3. Check your report for accuracy – In all the years I have lived on this Earth, there are some things that are pretty obvious to me. But, for some people, those same things don’t even register on their radar. So I’ll go ahead and say it. When it comes to your credit report, you definitely want to check your credit report to make sure it is accurate. Every individual is entitled to one free credit report a year so you have no excuse not to check it. When checking it, you want to look for any negative items like late payments, collection accounts, or items showing unpaid. One can only imagine the damage things like this can cause to your credit score. Now, imagine if these things showed up on your report and they were never supposed to be there in the first place? It happens. So when you check your latest credit report, check for inaccuracies and be prepared to dispute and ill findings.
  4. Pay your bills on time – We all have bills and some have more than others. Whatever your current situation, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that every bill has a due date and it is your absolute responsibility to make sure you pay that bill on time. Depending on the bill type, they may or may not report late payments to the credit bureaus. However, if you take too long to pay the bill, they very well could not only report the late payment to the agency, but also send your past due account to a credit collective. An account in collections is just another hit on your credit score that you do not want because they will not go away until a monetary judgement is satisfied.
  5. Request new credit with caution – The idea here is to balance the credit you do or do not have with your current credit situation and your current credit limits or amounts accessible. If you already have plenty of credit, then you do not want to take on more than you can manage. Remember, unused credit does not factor in highly when computing your credit score. However, if you have poor credit and are trying to rebuild your credit situation, then applying for new credit via an installment loan or revolving line is a step in the right direction. Just make sure you manage the new credit perfectly and pay your new bill on time.
One of the good things about your credit score is the fact it can always improve unless you already have what is considered ‘perfect’ credit. So, although you may have some blemishes today, tomorrow’s outlook could be improved with just a few easy steps in the right direction. Earlier in the article I mentioned everyone is entitled to a free credit report each year. To obtain your free credit report, go to www.annualcreditreport.com. Just to be clear, this is a report only and will not furnish your most up to date credit score. For a few dollars, you can obtain the report and the score almost immediately. Monitoring your credit report and maintaining your credit score is critical and will always threaten your ability to secure a loan for some of life’s biggest purchases. Don’t hurt your chances tomorrow because of steps you didn’t take the time to complete today. Your credit will follow you throughout your entire life so you might as well take as good of care of it as you can.
