For someone who is looking for information online debt consolidation, there are many conflicting reports. For example, some debt consolidation companies will tell you that using their services will not affect your credit rating for future creditors, although it could happen in reality.

So how do you know which company to trust debt consolidation? How can I make sure that you do not get taken by the consolidation company debt that preys on desperate people who are under a lot of financial stress?

There is only one answer. Search. And one of the easiest ways to do this study is online. But you cannot rely entirely on this. You can also talk with several companies about debt consolidation, and feel how they can help you in your situation.

After speaking with several different debt consolidation companies will soon realize how their services differ, and that one is best for you.

Remember to take the time to choose the company. If a bad decision, you can easily make themselves a lot more effort that can be easily avoided if you had done due diligence. Many people find this the hard way each year.

Often wise to find much information before starting the company with debt consolidation, but, (and if you read this, I think they already do). Some companies try to close to “sell” their services and do not necessarily need it. If you have another option to take, such as cutting a little interest and payment rates on credit cards, it might be a better option for you to take.

In summary, you should take your time to find a consolidation company debt. Your priority is to find a company you can trust, especially. The best way is to contact several different companies and see what each can offer.

Today I read an old (13-year-old) but really interesting article called Wake Up and Smell the Inflation on Forbes.com, on how the reported inflation figures are far below the true inflation numbers – it seems that there are many reasons a government would want to keep the reported numbers below the actual figure.

As stated in the article:

Interest payments on national debt (which is very high in both the U.S. and the U.K.) would go up dramatically if inflation was reported closer to its real level. In other words, there are billions to be saved if you can keep the official inflation figures down. Manipulating the numbers is surprisingly simple.

What this should mean to you, the individual is that inflation is here – and it’s doing nothing but increasing. This is important because it means the purchasing power of the money you’ve earned is steadily dropping. What you can do to try and protect yourself, assuming you have monetary assets sitting, is to try and keep the money in a high-yield online savings account. Most of them earn around 5% or so, which should be just enough to beat inflation. Keeping your money in a regular old bank savings account? You’re probably earning 1 or 2%, not nearly enough to keep your money’s purchasing power current.

Here’s another example: Remember that $50 gift card to the Gap your mom got you for Christmas last year? Well now you can’t buy quite as many clothes are you could in December, because Gap slowly raises its prices to keep pace with its increasing costs due to, you guessed it, inflation. There’s an argument for using your gift cards right away. (Even I’m guilty of not really knowing what to do with them and then stashing them. Apparently you can trade them online for other cards now – I’ll have to look into that!)

The bottom line is, inflation should be a real concern for everyone, regardless of how much money you have or what you’re doing with it. If you’re not investing wisely to keep the purchasing power of your money as strong as possible, the forces of inflation will slowly begin to chip away at your money, and soon. Keep smiling though, because next time you ask for a big raise, just mention that cost of living and inflationary concerns are forcing you to seek a higher than normal raise.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be a master guitar player to make good money from playing guitar. Many more important factors come into play than your guitar playing skill.

When I was 13, I begged my parents for a guitar for Christmas. They were reluctant to take that path, I assume, because of the expected ensuing noise, but they went ahead anyway and bought me a guitar and amplifier from JC Penney. Two years later, I was playing in bars almost every weekend and making more money in one or two nights than my friends were making all week working the night shift at Burger King.

So at 15 was I a guitar virtuoso? No. I still basically sucked as did the band I was in. I mean, we were horrible, yet sold out every night we played. Literally, it was standing room only even on weeknights, and we played almost every bar in a 25-mile radius. It was 1980 when it began, and this band still packs them in anytime they play even though they still basically suck.

What was the secret? The leader of this band was a genius at giving people what they wanted. He knew what they wanted and found a way to deliver it. People want to be entertained. If you can entertain people, you can make money by playing the guitar. It is that simple.

At the time Oldies was a big thing, and this band happened to fill a local void by dressing the part, acting crazy on stage, and playing the songs that people wanted to hear. At 15 years old, I was signing autographs, fending off advances from older women, and making money playing guitar. My first experiences making money playing guitar came from merely giving the audience what they wanted.

A few years later, the whole Urban Cowboy thing happened and, I happen to get into another band that was jumping on the country bandwagon. By this time, I had spent a lot of time learning how to play guitar, and my playing and vocal skills had come a long way. I had also learned what it took to be a valuable member of a band even though I still wasn’t the best guitar player in the world. Another band followed that one and so on until I finally retired from playing live on New Years’ Eve 2005.

In addition to all the bands I played in, I also did some solo and dual work and never played in a group that wasn’t working. During that time, I learned the keys to making money playing guitar. The first key is filling the void for your audience. Most guitar players think they should go out there and play what they want to play. That doesn’t work if you’re going to make money playing guitar. People want to hear the songs they like, and they want to listen to it like the recording, solo, and all.

The second key is only to play material you do well. If that means only playing simple songs, then only play simple songs. The audience does not know if a song is difficult, only if it sounded right. You do not get extra credit for trying something hard to play. You only lose points for not doing it right. If you know the audience is going to request a particular song and you can’t pull it off, find an alternative song by the same artist you can play instead.

The third key is that you must be willing to travel. You don’t need to go across the country to make money playing guitar, but you will need to get out of your local town. Here’s an interesting fact: most people will pay a band from out of town more money then they will have a local band. There’s some weird belief that a band can’t be good if they’re local. I don’t get it, but I used it to get paid.

Building a fan base is the fourth key and is more important in the beginning than getting more money. Connecting with your audience, talking with them between sets, having good stage banter with the crowd, all of these things lead to more money. You can act as cool as you want, but it doesn’t pay as well as being friendly. And that goes double with the person that hired you.

You need to make them a fan by showing up on time, turning down if they ask you to, and always cleaning up when you’re done. If they like you as a person, they will have a stronger impression of you as a performer and will pay you more. It is easy to raise your price once you build a fan base.

So now you know a little more about how to play guitar and make money doing it. I have done very well financially playing guitar in my life even though most of the local music scene in my town never knew who I even was. It’s because I followed these keys that I got paid good money for playing guitar while the local “celebrity” bands were sometimes paying out of their own pockets to play. Always remember that being the best guitar player in the world does not mean that you will know how to make money doing it.

What is a recession?

A recession is when there is a decline in industrial production, employment, real income, and wholesale-retail trade that lasts for six months or more. It spells trouble for all of us. Sometimes it’s hard making ends meet in the best of times, but trying to raise a family in the midst of a recession is doubly hard to do. It helps to stay optimistic in this type of situation. We can tighten our belts a little and still share some quality time together as a family.

Tough economic times call for finding ways to cut down on spending, but not on activities, even when we’re on a budget. After doing a little bit of research I’ve come up with a few ideas that may help to weather this recessional storm.

Saving Money in the Kitchen

There are lots of ways to cut back including in the kitchen so let’s start there. First, get rid of all the prepared meals. Aside from being too expensive, they are loaded with excessive fat, sugar, salt, and all kinds of preservatives. These are things that your family doesn’t need. Plan wisely and schedule specific meals for each day of the week. Do your grocery shopping once a week and get exactly what you need for each meal. Try going meatless twice a week.

Do a little research and find recipes for low-cost meals that you can make like pasta and vegetables or a homemade veggie pizza. These are nutritious meals and won’t cost a lot of money.

Saving Money When Traveling

Even when arranging for a vacation or just family time together, put a schedule in place so that you don’t miss a minute of fun. Check with the local visitor’s bureau in your city and see what attractions they offer. Some cities sponsor summer festivities for a minimal fee or no cost at all. Spend the day at a local park; take along Frisbees, a baseball and bat, and maybe even a set of horseshoes.

Stop by your local public swimming pool one day for an afternoon of aquatic games. Even pack a lunch to serve up after the swim, picnic-style, at a nearby park. Everyone develops an appetite after a day of sun and fun. This is an ideal way for a family to spend a day together.

The next day, spend the afternoon watching a movie at your local theatre. If you get there early, you can get the matinee price. It’s another great way to spend the day, and see a great movie in the process.

Saving Money on Pampering

After this much activity, you deserve to pamper yourself a little. If you like to read, don’t go out and spend money on a new bestseller, join your local library and read all of the books you want for free. Also, stock up on some inexpensive candles and some aromatherapy bath beads (you can get them at the dollar store) and treat yourself to a relaxing soak in the tub. If you close your eyes, you can pretend you’re at a fancy spa. You’ll feel any stress that you may have acquired from the long day begin to melt away.

You can find ways to cut back on spending and not on activities, it just takes a little bit of strategy and imagination. So plan to cut back, have fun, and make some great memories to treasure for years to come.

Financial planning to survive a recession begins well before the possibility of a recession. Not understanding that a recession can occur is like assuming that a sunny day will not possibly be followed by a rainy day. Not preparing for possible challenging financial times is akin to not wanting to grow up. There are several actions and plans that must be carried out to ensure survival during tough financial times:

1. Maintain your career: Have you kept yourself up to date professionally? Is your resume polished? You can’t wait for the writing to be on the wall to prepare for potential lay-offs. Is there education you need that you have been putting off? To effectively maintain your career and hope to grow professionally, it is imperative that one networks regularly. You never know when someone you know is able to lead you to a different opportunity at just the right time. Considering and developing side interests seriously is smart. Explore your hobbies to see what could result in possible additional funds (and enjoyment). There are also significant tax savings to take into account. And having several eggs in the basket of your career never hurts.

2. Maintain your savings: Think you want the latest new car? Think again! Now is the time to be conservative and be very picky about your purchases. If you have to make a big purchase such as an auto, can you think outside the box and think of alternatives that will have less financial impact? How about using public transportation, moving closer to work or buying a used vehicle? Do you really need that latte on your way to work? How about cooking more and taking your food to work rather than going out? Little expenditures can add up. If you received that much in interest in your bank account, wouldn’t that make you happier than caffeine could?

3. Cover yourself! Make sure you are covered in the case of any emergency. Make certain you have adequate insurance for any potential risks to your finances auto, homeowners, medical, etc. A medical emergency not well covered could result in bankruptcy. Have you created a will to take care of any dependents? Do not leave them vulnerable. Insure that any children are well aware of the need to manage finances at an early age. They must also understand about the value of education and its usual impact on a stable, financially secure future. Do not leave this to chance. Have a continuous dialogue with them to cover yourself. You never know when you might need their financial assistance during a future recession!

Having these areas taken care of should allow one to endure the rainy days of life so the sunny days can be even more pleasant.
