1. Debt consolidation is not always a loan. Debt consolidation, by definition, means to lump all your debt into one manageable payment. Many people confuse a loan-based consolidation program with credit counseling. The former usually requires security or collateral (often in the form of a mortgage), while the latter does not. If you have equity in your home, then a home equity loan may be the type of loan you need to help your consolidate your bills. If you don't own property or don't qualify for a loan, credit counseling may be the right option for you.2. Credit counseling is a process . Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is financial success. Credit counseling will help educate

Have you ever wished you had all the money you could use for all the deals you could possible handle? If you’ve been investing in real estate for long, you certainly have thought about how you could find private money for real estate investing. In this article I’ll attempt to give you some ideas for doing just that.The first thing you should do in your search for private money for real estate investing is know what you want the money for. Since you’ll be talking to folks who will potentially loan you money, and they’ll be asking you questions, doesn’t it make sense to think through the answers to those questions ahead of time.

The adventure of life gives us the incredible opportunity to learn and grow as individuals. I like to say that we do not stop learning, stretching, growing, maturing, and changing until we are 6 feet under. What happens so often is we go through life unaware that we don’t know what we don't know. In this fast-paced world, many of us do not have or take the time to sit, take a deep breath, and really think about the statements addressed in these assessments. We usually do not reflect on and consider the impact the answers to these statements can have on our relationship. We must gain the awareness, learn the techniques, and practice the skills to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship.
Take your time to think about each statement and be honest. One partner should use a black pen and the other partner a red pen. Rate your degree of agreement for each statement on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being a definite yes and 1 being a definite no. Write your score on the first line to the left of each statement. The second line is for your partner's score.
You may find it difficult to give certain statements a low score. You may worry that your response will hurt or offend your partner or create conflict. Honesty, however, is critical for the success of the Co-Create a Conscious Relationship program. Also, no matter what score your partner writes down, be supportive; do not get defensive, resentful, or angry. Thank him or her for being courageous and honest. All of the topics in this assessment series are covered in detail, with exercises, in my book The Journey from I-TO-WE.

After spending the past 12 years working outside the home, I've decided to take on the most challenging role of my life, being a work at home mom.All our lives we do exactly what our parents instruct us to do we go to school, get a great education, land a rewarding career, get married and start a family. There's only one problem. We don't truly have time to enjoy this family.We cart them off to school or day care every morning. Pick them up late in the evening or at night and race to get them bathed and in bed at an acceptable time all in preparation to separate from them the following morning.Two years ago, I decided to take my life and my family back.

The no-collateral variable is an important issue. Sometimes it is underestimated because people think that if you don’t plan to miss on the loan payments it doesn’t really matter if the loan is secured or unsecured. However, the unsecured or secured nature of a loan goes far beyond that and has several other implications. Unsecured Personal Loans Unsecured personal loans carry no collateral. As common belief suggests, these loans charge a higher interest rate than that of secured loans. However, the interest rate is only slightly higher and not abusive as many informative papers suggest. And it is definitely lower than financing with credit cards.The interest rate is not decid
