It is often said that one can earn money easily enough, but retaining that money and making it grow is the difficult part. Here are some tips to get financially savvy and ensure that your money is not frittered away easily.

1. The new electronic gadget is always enticing and draws you like a magnet. For gadget freaks, nothing but the latest is good enough for them. But these come at a cost not only when you buy them, but continue to drain you over the next few months. That is because they depreciate rapidly and with modern technology, obsolescence is the only constant. With the result, the fancy gadget that you purchased for $1000, just six months ago would be worth less than $500 and there may not be many takers, since a revised version of that gadget would have already hit the street. Hence, it is essential not to go overboard with wanting the latest gizmo as soon as it is launched and worthwhile to give it a couple of months before making that spend. You will end up saving precious dollars.

2. Always splurge on assets that appreciate over time and that include real estate, fine art paintings, antiques etc. These items are sure to fetch you more than your purchase price when you do decide to sell them after some time.

3. It is better to inculcate a saving habit. One thumb rule is to put away at least 30% of your earnings into savings. This accumulates to a handy sum and gives you a pleasant surprise over a period of time. Allow the power of compounding to work for you by maintaining discipline in your saving habit and steadfastly committing that 30% of the earning to this kitty.

4. Card companies always want you to have the maximum number of cards and are forever enticing you with attractive offers. It is always advisable to opt for only one card and ensure that the outstanding is settled in full rather than paying in part and having a hefty interest rate levied. Very quickly, you will notice that this builds up to a heavy amount and you will end up paying far more. This is certainly something that can be avoided with some financial discipline.

5. Earlier, I advised you to purchase assets that appreciate. Now I am advising you to put your money into a hedging instrument like gold. This yellow metal will always retain its value and though it may not appreciate, provides a good hedge in these troubled times.

6. Finally, buy only what you require and avoid hoarding. The global economy is thirsty for efficiency and not extravagance.

There are a number of ways to be smart with your money. Here are some below:

1. Spend less money on electronics: Generally, electronics are the worst investments. For instance, a computer that you buy for $1000 one year will only be worth $500 the next. A big-screen TV that you pay $2000 for may only cost $700 a couple years down the road.

2. Spend money on things that will maintain some value: You can buy classic furniture. You can collect rare firearms. You can buy land, they aren't making any more of it.

3. Cut back your spending: Even saving only one dollar per day will add up to over $3650 over a decade. Just imagine if you were able to save $10 per day.

4. Only have one credit card and pay off your bill in its entirety each month. Paying finance charges is the same as lighting your money on fire.

5. Invest in gold. Currently most of the world is on the Fiat system. This means that governments are printing money out of thin air. It would be wise to have one's monetary units measured in gold rather than in make-believe money.

6. Buy only what you need. It is said that if people only bought what they needed the world economy would collapse. If you need running shoes to stay in shape buy the minimum pair necessary for your needs at the minimum cost. In the economy is not survival of the fittest but of the most efficient.

I am happy to reveal a secret. The new age internet wonder – blogging has made a huge difference to my life. What started as a hobby soon became a passion and then progressed to become a source of valuable income.

They say that if you love your work and enjoy it, then you are not working but just indulging in your favorite hobby. As far as I am concerned, that statement sums up my current state of mind and my views towards my work. It has also brought me additional benefits – both tangible and intangible and I wish to share them as under:

a) Great Visibility: I was already getting good reviews and responses for my posts over the last couple of years. However, I was pleasantly surprised to bump into somebody the other day, someone who had visited my blog and found it extremely refreshing. He found my posts very easy to relate to and appreciated the fact that I was in total control of my subject. I was dumbfounded when he offered me an assignment straight away without any pitching from my side and he did that purely from the positive impression that my blog gave him.

b) Improved Written Communication: Earlier, my writing was labored and the words just didn’t flow. I was not too impressed with my own capability to write well and convince people through my writing. My ideas about content writing were totally different and that I was the misfit. With blogging, this has turned on its head and I now can reel off written communication without much fuss. I have been able to contribute to e-books, newsletters, press releases etc and at this stage; I do not feel overawed by any assignment. The more I write, the more self confident I am becoming.

2 Able to Meet Requirement: Nowadays, I am able to fit in my thoughts and come up with just the right content to suit the headline. It seems that all my past experience and current efforts are combining efficiently within my brain and producing matter that is just what the doctor ordered, in a manner of speaking. For instance, with more and more pressure on keeping the copy short and when you are required to work in multiple assignments at the same time, your control on the vocabulary is extremely important to ensure the implicit meaning of the message is not compromised in any fashion. I am glad to say that I seem to have got the knack of delivering just what is required.

c) Pace: Initially, I used to take anywhere between 1 to 2 hours for my contribution. Now, I am able to finish off in less than 45 minutes with superior output. I am therefore making more income as I get more repeat orders from loyal customers.

d) Better Efficiency: This activity has enabled me to concentrate better and I am able to optimize my effort in meeting deadlines without sacrificing quality.

e) Better Sales: Thanks to my loyal traffic who respects my views and thoughts, I am able to push more sales onto them. I am their preferred choice as compared to the others in the internet space.
Blogging is not a short cut to making money but it is definitely worth pursuing if you can consistently write good content and meet customer requirements.

Blogging Cash in Your Pocket

Blogging has brought me many benefits - many which have led directly to cash in my pocket. Following are the things that have led directly to more income from my blogging efforts:

a) Wholistic Body of Work: I recently picked up a client who came across my blog while surfing the web.

Without even asking, he told me that he liked by conversational style of writing and could tell that I "knew my stuff." He was talking about my marketing ability.

No marketing, no persuading, no samples - he handed me a project right off the bat. All because he was able to read through almost two years of blog posts, which gave him an idea of what I could do for him.

b) Better Writing Style: This kind of ties into the aforementioned point, but blogging has made me a better writer. Before I sweated over every word and really didn't have much confidence in my ability as a "saleable" writer.

I thought copywriting was some type of rocket science that I just didn't do well. But, the more I did it and the more clients were pleased with what I turned in, the more confidence I gained.

I've written e-books, postcards, web copy, newsletters and sales letters - and almost everything in between. Blogging has innately given me a "feel for the right words." It's hard to explain. But, I no longer feel intimidated or panicked by a project.

Because I write a lot these days, I'm confident in my ability to do a project.

2 Tips To Better Writing Skills

Write Headlines: What do I mean? Many times, I will write down just a headline without having any idea of what type of copy I'm going to write. But, 99% of the time, I am able to come up with copy to fit that headline.

I think this comes from working the old brain muscle. Eg, the more you write, the more ideas you will be able to flesh out.

Write Tight: As in, develop the habit of saying what you want to say in as few words as possible. Cut, cut, cut! While this skill may take some time, it will pay off when you have numerous projects on your desk that have to be done, and/or if you work in advertising.

Many commercials (radio and TV) require tight copy. When the client is paying $250,000 for a 30-second spot, they're not going to want Shakespeare.

c) Speed: When I first started blogging, I would spend anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours on a post. Now, I knock it out in 30 minutes or less - without sacrificing quality.

This has increased my income because I apply the same rapidity to rote client projects (eg, those projects I consistently handle for clients). Again, without sacrificing quality.

d) More Self-production: Blogging forces you to focus. When I sit down to write a post, I almost always finish it because I have in my head what I want to say and I want to get it out before it disappears.

I apply this same intensity and rapidity to client projects wherever possible. While it's not possible to finish all client projects in one sitting, I do focus more when I am working on them and am able to get more done in one sitting than before I started blogging.

Again, I think it's a matter of working some portion fo the brain. Like any muscle, the more you use it, the better it performs.

e) More Product Sales: This is kind of obvious, but I sell more stuff (my e-books) because I've cultivated a loyal readership who trust my opinion. So, when they need the type of info I offer, they purchase from me instead of the gazillion other freelancers on the web.

Blogging is not an immediate way to make money. And, it's hard work. But it's those who blog consistent write well and become an authority of sorts, who turn blogging into cash.

Looking good and feeling good has never been made to sound so easy. With people the world over becoming health conscious and seeking to combat health problems, the health and nutrition companies are having a field day. Moreover, the electronic media is playing their own role in promoting such fads through innovative promotional material. The hard disciplined method to reduce weight and acquire the sustainable toned look ahs fallen out of favor – consumers do not like the hard work and they cannot spare the time.

It is not surprising that numerous companies have jumped into this market, each making their own promises. The consumer is definitely spoilt for choice, but the moot question is, does that magic potion or pill work? More importantly, even if it is not beneficial, is it causing harm?

Many of us have heard about the nightmarish experiences that some have undergone after consuming those pills. What seemed an innocuous tablet assumed monstrous dimensions in terms of the damage to the heart due to the addition of Ephedra to the composition. While this has been prohibited, there are still various other ingredients which we are not aware of that make up some of the modern miracle pills. This is specifically true of some of the herbal concoctions that abound and these do not even require FDA sanction!

The only way to deal with this is to become aware of what you are about to injest and what goes into the making of those pills. Some of the items and their possible draw backs are mentioned below:

The first one is a stimulant called Citrus Aurantium. It is popularly found in diet supplements like Advantra Z and is known to increase the heart beat. This ingredient works similar to ephedra, but has not been withdrawn. Some of the supplements also contain caffeine, which in conjunction with the stimulant adds to the heart beating rapidly.

The next one is an ingredient called Hoodia. This is sourced from a plant similar to the cactus plant and is supposed to keep hunger away. While there have been no adverse effects till now, one is not sure about its efficacy over a longer tenure. Moreover, since it is normally combined with caffeine or the stimulant Citrus Aurantium, it is under the scanner. Hoodia is made from a cactus like plant from Africa. The claim is that Hoodia will keep you from being hungry. So far, no evidence has shown any side effects to Hoodia. But it is too soon to tell if it will show any side effects if you take it for a long period of time. The problem with Hoodia is that it usually paired with ingredients such as bitter orange or caffeine.

Now it is the turn of caffeine. Though it is a known fact that this stimulant is not suitable and can lead to palpitations, it is still consumed in various forms in pills such as Zantrex – 3. The ultimate outcome due to a combination of hypertension and rapid heart beat can be a massive stroke.

It is so easy to reach for a pill, hoping it will fix all of our problems, especially our weight problems. The television commercials and the advertisements in the magazines make it all look so easy. Take a pill and you will instantly be transformed into that skinny person that is living inside of you. But please stop for a minute and think about what is in those pills.

We all have heard the horror stories about what some diet pills can do to us. We all know that taking Ephedra is bad for us. We all know that the ephedrine caused many dieters to have heart related problems and that ephedra is basically banned from being added into most diet pills. But do you know that there are many other things that are allowed in the diet pills that are still bad. Plus, the herbal products do not even have to be approved by the FDA?

The first thing you need to do is look at the ingredients of what is in any diet pill you plan on ingesting. Here are few popular things you will find in today's diet pills, along with some possible side effects you may experience if you take them.

Citrus aurantium or it could be called bitter orange. This is a stimulant. It is similar to ephedra (which was pulled off the market). Like ephedra, bitter orange has been known to cause rapid heart beat. Many products containing bitter orange also contain caffeine which will make the heart beat even more and increase blood pressure. Bitter Orange is found in popular diet supplements such as: Lean System 7, Advantra Z and Xendrine EFX.

Hoodia. Hoodia is made from a cactus like plant from Africa. The claim is that Hoodia will keep you from being hungry. So far, no evidence has shown any side effects to Hoodia. But it is too soon to tell if it will show any side effects if you take it for a long period of time. The problem with Hoodia is that it usually paired with ingredients such as bitter orange or caffeine.

Caffeine. Yes, we all know that too much caffeine is not good for us. Case in point is these
diet pills. When you ingest too much caffeine it leads to heart palpitations. If you continue to ingest too much caffeine it can led to some serious health problems such as high blood pressure, continued palpitations and could even eventually led to stroke.
Caffeine is the main ingredient in a lot of diet pills including Xanadrine and Zantrex-3

Chromium. Chromium is generally considered safe if it is taken in small doses, doses less than 200 micrograms a daily. But some supplements contain higher amounts of chromium. Side effects of taking too much chromium include increase urination, which can result in kidney failure if one continues to take high doses of chromium for a long period of time. Chromium is also found in many diet pills including: TrimSpa and EZ Trim.

HCA Hydroxycitric acid. HCA causes a lot of side effects which can make life miserable such as: nausea, stomach upset and head ache. HCA is found in Hydroxycut.

Okay, so the pills contain ingredients that can cause side effect, the main question most dieters want to know is will they work. At first, most diet pills may seem to work. They may curb your appetite a little. HCA may actually help you to loose weight because you feel to miserable to eat. But is loosing a little weight worth risking your health, causing your heart beat to increase and just generally making you feel strange or bad? Wouldn't it be better to be a bit overweight and feel good?

I am sorry to say that there is no magic pill, yet.

Any addiction is tough to overcome and smoking is no exception. Nicotine, by its very chemical composition makes it difficult and smokers make resolutions of quitting smoking only to break them. Studies have shown that more than 75% of smokers genuinely want to give up smoking as they know the habit is not doing them any good, to their health and to their pocket.

Smokers have tried various ways over the years to give up this habit, to no avail. Very often they succeed for a temporary period and then it is back to the old times. It is very rare that somebody has given up smoking and stayed put. Some have given up smoking seeing the suffering cancer patients undergo and that experience has ensured that they do not light up again while some others have the obstinate streak in them and turn to the habit again after a brief hiatus. Medical advancements and other enablers like social organizations are doing their bit to promote non smoking and help smokers give up the habit.

Our body takes a lot of abuse through pollution, whether it is noise, chemicals and pesticides in food, water or traffic. It remains a silent spectator to this abuse until we test its limits of tolerance. On the other hand, it is indeed gratifying to note that the body responds immediately to any positive change in our habits. For instance, when one stops smoking, there is visible positive change within 24 hours in the levels of oxygen and blood pressure. The bad elements of carbon monoxide and nicotine get reduced progressively quietly rapidly as the body tries to flush them out of the system. Our system instinctively knows what is beneficial and what is not. Senses of taste and smell get much better and if one can remain steadfast, the longer term health benefits slowly begin to assert themselves.

The positive action gains momentum within the next 3 months as the lung capacity increases, voice clarity along with reduction in cough and the discoloration of lips and teeth slowly begin to fade away. It is pertinent to note here that a smoker by kicking this habit reduces his odds of a heart failure by half in a year and by staying so, reduces the chances of getting lung cancer by half in a decade. In a decade and a half, the erstwhile smoker is on even keel with a nonsmoker as far his chances of a heart failure are concerned. It just goes to show that it is never too late to give up this habit and benefits are immediate.

Sadly, while most smokers are aware and even make a genuine attempt to quit smoking, the power of addiction coupled with the withdrawal problems like frustration, unforced aggression and edginess often take their toll. Other conditions like the craving for more food, lack of concentration also result and such people have been found to gain weight.

Though there have been other alternatives, they have been found to be equally addictive and harmful over a period of time. The ideal solution is to stop smoking altogether recognizing that the potential benefits in the long term far outweigh the short term discomfort.

Overcoming a cigarette addiction can be pretty tough, especially due to the addicting nature of nicotine. However, surveys have shown that approximately seventy percent of smokers actually want to stop smoking. Another portion of the survey takers said that they have a strong desire to quit. The reason most people want to finish smoking cigarettes is usually due to the health problems involved with smoking. Another factor to some people is financial reasons, as cigarettes can cost quite a bit of money.

Although it can be quite difficult to quit, one's chances of stopping can be nearly doubled when one uses nicotine replacement therapy. There are also many national organizations available on the web and by phone which try to help people quit. The health changes one goes through after quitting is quite remarkable, as it is nearly immediate.

For example, in less than half an hour after one refrains from smoking, his or her pulse rate and blood pressure become normal. Oxygen levels become normal and nicotine and carbon dioxide levels are cut in half in just eight hours. After one full day, there is no more carbon monoxide in the body. It's pretty amazing that the lungs automatically start to clear out smoking debris and mucus, as it knows these materials are outsiders of the body.

In two more full days, or three days after one last smoked, nicotine will be completely removed from the body and two crucial senses, taste and smell, are improved noticeably. If a person continues to stay off the addiction and remain smoke free, there are also some great long term health benefits.

In less than twelve weeks, circulation improves throughout the entire body. In approximately nine or so months, problems greatly affected and caused by smoking, such as coughing and wheezing, occur less frequentl
After one full year from quitting, the chance of getting a heart attack is approximately half that of a current smoker. If one continues to stay off the drug for a little under ten years, the chance o


f getting lung cancer is approximately half that of a current smoker. After fifteen years, smokers who quit are finally on equal footing as a nonsmoker in regards to risk of a heart attack. It's never too late to refrain from smoking, as there are health benefits that are both immediate and long term.

Unfortunately, all together leaving an addicting product can be quite tough. On top of this, there are some withdrawal symptoms that many people go through when quitting. For example, nearly half of the people that try to stop are prone to irritability and aggressiveness. More than half of ex-smokers are also prone to symptoms such as poor concentration, depression, cravings, and an increased appetite. In fact, the average weight gain of a smoker who quits is approximately six to eight pounds. However, a small weight gain is a much minor health risk that what comes with smoking.

There are also some alternatives to nicotine cigarettes which people try, such as cigars or herbal cigarettes. However, these products can be just as bad as nicotine cigarettes, if not worse. In the end, the goal of all smokers trying to quit should just be to permanently stop smoking. Alternatives don't really work and can be just as unhealthy.

Although quitting is such a difficult thing to do, the health benefits are too big to ignore. Most smokers try to stop, but are unable to due to nicotine's addicting nature. However, many understand the problems that come with smoking and there are also a number of different organizations that are willing to help those that are trying to quit.
