In times of economic turmoil, nothing says you have to be a tightwad during a recession. When others are making the effort to tighten their belt and trim down excesses you wouldn’t have to. In fact you can view downturns as opportunities. It is a recurring convention that when the going is good economically people let go of most of their financial inhibitions. But when...

Occasionally, friends have come up to me, curious to know how they can get started with investing in the stock market. I have been investing for some time now by managing my portfolio, and I’m in no way considered an expert. Most of my knowledge was acquired due to desire, and a want of the ability to understand the stock market for myself. As a result, I fully be... Read Full Story

I recently read George Clason’s classic book, The Richest Man In Babylon, which reopened my eyes in many ways as far as finances and fiscal responsibility is concerned. I write about this book because I know that though over a million people have read it, there are still millions more who are yet to read it.
For most, the book touches on financial principles th... Read Full Story

Once in a while I find that people are curious to know what the qualities of a man should be. Usually, they search and research sources (mostly on the internet) for the answer. Even though the answers may differ, the great answers are generally along the same vein.
What are the great qualities a man should possess? One can gradually come to a consensus by looking at how different people would answer the question. For example, you could ask a composed young man to name a “man of quality&... Read Full Story

Love is one of life’s greatest insights. Depending on a person’s exposure, experiences, and level of understanding, such a person will have views on love that may differ from those of another with different exposures. These different views (provided they are legitimate) are what can be termed, the threads of love. Each thread by itself holds its importance and relevance in a relationship, but when a person has various threads in his (or her) possession, he is in a position to weave a be... Read Full Story

A while back, I was watching a Warren Buffett interview with Tom Brokaw, and he said something during the course of his interview that is worth thinking about. Now I never met the man (Buffett that is), but I have been in awe of him for a long time now. Not because he has loads of money, but the fact that he does and doesn’t let it define him. He sees finance as a means to an end, and not the end itself. Making money is pleasurable to him, just like playing basketball is more fun to others wh... Read Full Story

Resolutions are pledges that a person makes to encourage himself/ herself to improve from a current unacceptable state to a better position be it physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, or otherwise. This improvement is in most cases slanted towards positive progress. The end of each year is usually one of such times that the word “resolution”, regains appeal in the lip... Read Full Story

In the United States, thanksgiving is practiced every year on the last Thursday in the month of November. It is a nationally recognized holiday where families come together and are supposed to be in an appreciative frame of mind. Most times, the essence behind Thanksgiving Day may be watered down, and as such it becomes just a day to consume turkey – the day one is automatica... Read Full Story

Charities do good deeds on either a small scale or a large scale. Each charity also has one or more causes that they advance. Though I respect the work done by charities and believe that they should also be supported, I have always been partial to charities that address the raw and basic human needs for survival – food, clothing, and shelter. When as a human on earth, you don’t... Read Full Story
