The Cure For Your Financial Problems
68
Many people are very happy to get 2010 behind them. It has not been a very good year for most Americans. The unemployment level is still around 10%, but that number is always down played. It's actually closer to around 20%. Foreclosures still abound and many people are struggling with the banks to see if they can renegotiate their mortgages and keep their homes. The banks remember, received trillions of dollars from the government, to save them from going out of business, but despite those efforts, 98 banks today, stand on the verge of closing permanently. Yes, wave good-bye to 2010.
What are the prospects for 2011? The dollar keeps dropping, and without people working and receiving a steady income, this economy will never grow. It's jobs that keep the ball rolling.and it's jobs that can't be found right now.
Is there new money in the world? No, there is still the same amount that has always been around, it just exchanges hands. Now, you can't count on the money that the government keeps printing everyday as new money. That is what we call "fiat money". Money declared by a government to be legal tender. It's money with no intrinsic value. That's what the American dollar is...just green paper.
Back in 1971, President Richard Nixon, convinced the world to jump off the gold backed monetary system that we were on. That meant that government could start printing away money, whenever it needed it. How would you like to have a money machine for yourself? The more the government produces, the more the value of the dollar drops. The more the dollar drops, the more commodities, like gold and silver, go up.
2010 wasn't all that bad for gold and silver. Silver doubled in price, and gold is selling for about $1400.00 dollars an ounce today.
Lots of commercials on TV today about businesses that want to buy your gold. I've even seen banks and lots of stores that are advertising, "we buy your Gold". There are places of business that are now accepting gold and silver for services rendered. That isn't that hard to accept, gold and silver has been the world's currency for thousands and thousands of years. Go all the way back to the Egyptians and the Chinese dynasties, gold and silver was used as the means of exchange.
History shows, that governments that use don't last. There is an order of progression as those economies spiral down. Some very prominent people are saying, that it is not a matter of if, but when, the dollar will eventually collapse. It's a scary, but very real possibility.
Maybe it is what needs to happen to get everything back on a level playing field. New companies will rise and the the great exchange of wealth will take place. Many people who are very wealthy today will loose everything, and others, who have prepared for this day, will be the new million and billionaires.
Is the cure for your financial problems, and mine, in gold and silver? I can't say and if anybody really new that answer, he would be a very rich man, but what I do know is that if you want to be wealthy, do as the wealthy do. They are buying gold and silver and commodities, they aren't selling. Why than, do they ask you and me to sell? Maybe they see something that all of us don't.
I bought a gold collectible coin about ten years ago. I paid 700 dollars for it and just put it into my sock drawer. Today that coin is worth around 2300 dollars. Now I'm not an investor and I had no idea what I was doing but my eyes were opened to the idea of collectible coins. They are very different from bullion coins and today the collectible coin industry does a 100 billion dollars a year. Yes, I said billion with a B. That's 11 million dollars every hour that goes towards purchasing these coins. Lots of people collect coins. Graded and certified collectible coins.
Some people think that's ridiculous to pay more money for a bullion coin that is wrapped in a protective casing and graded by one of the three worldwide recognized grading systems, NGC, PCGS, or ANACS. These grading agencies give the coin a value based on it's condition. The condition of any collectible item is very important to it's value.
For example. If you were to find a 1967 Corvette in the back of someones house, sitting outside of their shed, and it was in terrible condition, what would that car be worth compared to a 1967 Corvette that was in mint condition. A 1967 Corvette in mint condition, looking showroom new, would probably carry a price tag of about 150,000 dollars. Do you think condition doesn't mean anything in collectible coins, it certainly does, and that goes true in anything that people collect.
I love collectible coins and there is a great thrill in owning these pieces of art, with a history behind each one of them, and excitement of collecting them and passing them down to my kids and grand kids.
Despite all this, I've also found a business where I not only collect these beautiful coins, but I can now market them as a business. It's the best of both worlds. I can continue to collect my coins at a discounted rate, and earn money as I market them to others who love and enjoy the beauty, heritage, and intrinsic value of owning these magnificent certified collectible coins.
I understand that this is not for everyone. There are people who wish to continue to work at a nine to five job, or two, as many American families are doing to make ends meet, but for me, this has given me the ability to work for myself, set my own hours, and make a nice residual income. To me. it is the only avenue that you can travel on to start your own business, be your own boss, with a minimum investment. Unless you have a million dollars you don't know what to do with, you could buy a franchise?
Face it folks, the only way you and me are ever going to get out of this rat race is to start your own business. Network marketing, or as I like to call it, network franchising, because that is exactly what your doing, is the only avenue we have to do it, and you can do it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Climb out of the box and don't let those naysayers that have never accomplished anything in their lives tell you something different. Don't become a crab. Ever see a box filled with crabs? As one attempts to climb out of the box, the others pull him back. 97% of the population live in the box. Which one are you? Are you one of the 3%? I think you are and I know you can.
To get out out of your financial problems;
- Start your own business
- Buy commodities (gold and silver)
- Teach others to do the same
This is what I'm doing. I am not an investor. This is what's working for me and I thought I would pass it on to you.
