Thank an Injured Serviceman

   Posted by: admin    in Comments on today

I know how partiotic we all are and we want to show our service men and women that we appreciate their sacrifice but sending a card to an “Injured Serviceman at Walter Reed” is not the way to do it.  Walter Reed Hospital will not accept these cards as a protection to the serviceman.

Here is an example of why.

“Walter Reed Army Medical Center officials want to remind those individuals who want to show their appreciation through mail to include packages and letters, addressed to “Any Wounded Soldier” that Walter Reed will not be accepting these packages in support of the decision by then Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Transportation Policy in 2001. This decision was made to ensure the safety and well being of patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense.

In addition, the U.S. Postal Service is no longer accepting “Any Service Member” or “Any Wounded Service Member” letters or packages. Mail to “Any Service Member” that is deposited into a collection box will not be delivered.

Instead of sending an “Any Wounded Soldier” letter or package to Walter Reed, please consider making a donation to one of the more than 300 nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping our troops and their families listed on the “America Supports You” website, or visit the American Red Cross website.”   From US Common Sense.

A UFirst testimonial to the MMA 4.1 program

   Posted by: admin    in Comments on today, MMA, debt, loans

From a very satisfied customer an unsolicited testimonial:

>>>>>>>>>>>>Recently, my wife and I were migrated to Version 4.1 of our Money Merge Account Software Program. How is it working for us? In one word: WOW. No, WOW doesn’t quite cut it. WOW times 1000. There, that is more accurate. In only two short weeks on the product, we have:

* Evaluated 4 different investment opportunities to find the best one.
* Taken our 28 year long mortgage down to 4.78
* Realized the impact of our “eating out” habits and reformed our ways
* Paid off over 50% of our credit card debt

These are facts! I have the proof on paper in black and white ink.

Could I have done all that on my own? Sure, but how long would it have taken me? The 4 investment opportunities alone would have kept me knee deep in excel spreadsheets for the next month or so. How long did it take with the MMA? About an hour for all 4.

Would I have been able to realize the impact of moving $4,631.50 from savings to send to my Visa card? Not a chance. I would have probably just kept making minimum payments. Or I would have just sent an extra $1,000 or so. How would my human mind have ever conceived that $4,631.50 would leave behind enough in my savings to earn maximum interest and keep me liquid, while maximizing the reduction of principal on my credit card and thus minimizing the interest that I give to my credit card company?

How could I have known that for every $50 I spend in dining out was actually costing me $71.16 in true costs? That is years and years of drowning in consumer debt that I can save myself. All of a sudden, the Olive Garden didn’t taste so sweet.

So to everyone out there that thinks they can get themselves out of debt, build true lasting wealth, and never worry about money on their own: I wish you the best of luck. For me; I sleep like a baby knowing that I will be debt free in 4.78 years, be a millionaire by age 35, retire at the ripe old age of 40.

Will I ever have to stress over a major financial decision? NO. My un-biased software will make those calls for me.
Will I ever wonder if my money is really working for me or someone else? NO. I know my money is where it will suit me best.
Will I ever miss a payment or risk damage to my credit score? NO. My software will remind me to pay all my bills. It will even do most of that work for me!

But hey….you can do this on your own. Have fun with the countless hours of spreadsheets and turmoil. I will be relaxing with my family if you change your mind.<<<<<<<<<<<<
