19. Learn how to Make smart financial investments

Check out the stock market: but please remember to do research on a stock before purchase - otherwise you can loose a lot of money. You can use many websites to do research on this. For example: yahoo finance, or you can sign up with online trading companies such as ameritrade or scottrade.

Tax Liens: season has just began. Many people claim this is the best kept secret. Tax lien is a process where the owner of the real property failed to pay his/her taxes, and the county/city will put a lien on the property. Anyone who has money can bid on this lien. If you are not familiar with this, just googol search it, and you'll become an instant expert. If you are scared, try to start with a geographic area you are familiar with.

Start a business from your basement: lets follow the example of Dell - and you never know what will happen. Just make sure it is something you are passionate about, otherwise you'll loose interest before you can market your first product!

these are just some starter examples - but for those of you who are looking for more ideas, you can check out reading materials such as the Entrepreneur Magazine.

18. Fun things to DO when you are bored!

How to Marry a Millionaire

It appears that everyone is obsessed with money. Most of those that claim they money is not important is simply lying! Otherwise, why are we all so obsessed with these brainless TV shows such as "The Fabulous Life of...", "It's Good to be..."and "My Super Sweet Sixteen" to name a few. These are shows that show how great it is to be rich and famous, but mostly, RICH! Worse, these are shows aimed for teenagers! These shows only demonstrate the lavish spending, but they convenient leave out how hard these individuals worked to get there. (expect for the few that were just lucky).

One thing is for sure, if you are reading this blog, that means you are bored at work. If you are bored at work, then it is highly likely that you did not marry a millionaire, so you cannot just walk off your job. No need to waste time just sitting infront of your desk, now you can use this precious time to score a millionaire of your own. (hey, if you can't beat them, why not join them)

17. Learn how to marry a millionaire.

Here's How:
1. Educate yourself. Study classical literature, music, and art. Like minds attract; if you don't know the difference between Debussy and Dickens, you aren't going to snag anyone with class.
2. Spend money. Money is attracted to other money. Your future spouse has to be able to see themselves with you.
3. Go to where the rich mix and mingle. You have to get yourself seen... Cut your hair, lose weight, get a manicure, and go for it.
4. Don't appear too eager. People are looking for a partner, not a dumb, air headed pom pon girl.
Rent a copy of "How to Marry a Millionaire" with Lauren Becall and Marilyn Monroe. Take notes.
5. If you get in a position where they are buying jewelry, cars, etc., for you, sell them and invest the cash! That way, if the relationship doesn't work out, you've already managed to save enough money to stop working.
6. Study business - the more you know, the better.
7. Above all, don't talk about money! Avoid the topic entirely or risk being thought of as a gold-digging whore. This is not the image we are going for.

Tips:
Remember... if you do get to the altar, pre-nups are NOT your friend!

Please remember me (pet insurance)

We all know the importance of having health insurance. It is very costly to go see doctors just for a regular checkup. Luckily, many of us have insurance through our work. Usually we will also cover our children or other non-working family members. However, many of us with pets (and many agree with me that our pets are members of our family), but many of us will not remember to purchase insurance for our pets. We often don't think about this, but our pets get sick as well, and if they do, the vet bill will also be ridiculously high. Pets are like humans, the younger they are, the cheaper their insurance. And many pet insurance companies will not allow you to purchase insurance once your pet reaches a certain age. Therefore, it is important to purchase insurance for your pet at a young age. And pet insurance will cover regular vet visits and most of their necessary shots.

14. Shop for insurance for your pet. (Usually, a regular insurance company also offers pet insurance)

Make yourself pretty

All those ads about all the new make-up and facial treatments - how do you know what will work for you? a friend of mine guided me to a wonderful website that will give you insight to the best and worse beauty products.

Doing it the old fashion way

Do you ever wonder what people did to entertain themselves before the time of internet? Can you imagine a work place without internet? not being able to check your e-mail? how will you survive. I may not know how people entertained themselves the old fashion way (maybe everyone just did work), but here are some things you can do without a computer and internet. And for those without internet access - please do give any additional suggestions.

12. Entertain yourself the old fashion way.

a. Write a letter to your friends. No, I don't mean e-mail, but real letters, that you will have to out a stamp on it, and drop it in the mail box. In addition, your friends will be so surprised they will love you. (not to mention, you will look like you are working really hard drafting a document) Hint: write the "Dear ___" last, so it is not so obvious you are writing a letter.
b. Sodoku - be careful this can be addictive
c. With a little help of modern technology - text message - okay, so don't do everything the old fashion way.
d. Drink water non-stop, so you will keep on having to go the bathroom. (This will kill a lot more time than you realize - not to mention all the added time for trips to the water fountain)
e. Make you weekly grocery shopping list
f. Listen to music - with you cool new ipod, but a cassette player would do
g. Write your manifesto
h. Work on your penmanship
i. Day dream or stare at the wall
j. Practice how to take a nap while looking like you are reading intensely (my brother is very good at this)

Valentines Day

Valentines Day is just around the corner. You are either excited or sad. This does not matter, if you are single, you can read about all the worse valentines (this will make you glad you are alone), and laugh at all those poor souls.

Therefore, just be greatful you are SINGLE!!

This is not to discourage those of your who are in love. Becuase half of your will make it to your diamond anniversary. Get a head start on the rest of your romance by reading the best to worse valetines give yourself some ideas on how surprise your sweetie.
