Everyone is obsessed with losing weight and getting a slim figure. Wherever you go, you will find diet pills and herbal teas that guarantee weight loss. Some companies have even gone so far as to invent devices like calorie-reading spoons and electric waist belts that reduce belly fat. While most of us are obsessed with weight and read weight loss diet tips, there are some who are really trying to add some fat to their body. An athletic figure can surely appear attractive to many. But those who are thin feel discouraged sometimes when they can’t find clothes or accessories that fit them well.

As there are very few resources available on weight gain, I personally thought it would be appropriate to write an article on weight gain through Indian foods. You may ask why Indian foods in particular. Well, Indian cuisine offers a variety of recipes that are rich in nutrition and high in healthy fats. Furthermore, they are easy to modify according to individual requirements. So here it is. A Complete Guide to Indian Healthy Foods that Helps to Gain Weight Naturally.

The key to building muscle mass is to increase your intake of healthy calories and protein. It is by slowly increasing the amount of your meals and with regular physical exercise that an individual gains weight. Vegetarian Indian recipes that include low-fat dairy products like milk and cheese, almonds, walnuts, dried beans, soybeans, and chickpeas help increase body mass. Chapatis made from multigrain flour, with a side of starchy vegetables like potato, carrot, peas, sweet potato, beetroot, etc. increase calories while providing the right amount of nutrition to the body. Including more colorful leafy vegetables in your diet balances nutrition and calorie level.

Indian food recipes are stereotyped by many to only cater to vegetarians. However, that’s not true. India has a rich cuisine that offers delicacies for meat lovers as well. Adding a small serving of lean ground beef, steaks, chicken breast, pork, ham, and lamb daily helps you gain weight steadily. Any seafood including salmon, tuna, shrimp and cod should also be included in the diet as they are highly nutritious and help build lean muscle. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 10-35% of an adult’s daily caloric intake should come from protein. That’s around 45-157.5 grams of protein per day. Since whole eggs are rich in protein and vitamins, you can also include them in your diet. However, be careful what you eat, as eggs are also high in cholesterol.

The Illinois Vehicle Code makes it a crime for any person to operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or anything else that may intoxicate a person. With respect to alcohol, the bright line rule of law is that anyone whose blood alcohol level or breath alcohol level is 0.08 or higher is prohibited from driving.

Under this rule, a vehicle is any device that transports people or things from one place to another, with the exception of devices moved entirely by human power, and snowmobiles, which have their own specific Safety Code. As a result, this code includes ATVs, motorcycles, automobiles, all other highway vehicles using an engine, and, through the Illinois Boat Registration and Safety Law association, boats.

Methods for testing blood alcohol level are blood, urine, and most commonly breath. A blood test must be administered by a doctor, nurse, paramedic or other qualified medical personnel. The breath test must be administered by a person licensed to do so, although the police are usually licensed to conduct such a test.

A person convicted of driving under the influence for the first time is generally guilty of a Class A misdemeanor, which could result in a sentence of up to __ days in prison, although less than this is the punishment generally administered. A person who commits the offense a second time must, in addition to the misdemeanor penalties, spend at least 5 days in prison or must perform at least 240 hours of community service.

Penalties for the offense can be increased if the person has a blood alcohol level greater than .16, which is twice the legal limit. A first-time offender with an alcohol concentration of .16 faces a minimum of 100 hours of community service and a $500 fine, in addition to any punishment for the Class A misdemeanor. A second-time offender whose blood content is greater than .16 on the second offense must, in addition to the Class A misdemeanor penalties, face at least 2 days in jail and a minimum fine of $1,250.

Drunk drivers with children as passengers face tougher penalties. A driver who transports children under the age of 16 can face 6 months in prison, must pay an additional $1,000 fine, and must complete 25 hours of community service in programs that benefit youth.

Any driver convicted of the offense a third or more time faces a charge of aggravated driving under the influence. Aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol is a felony, making the punishment for such offenses more drastic. Other examples of aggravated driving under the influence are when the driver, in addition to driving under the influence, is operating a school bus, speeding in a school zone, involved in an accident causing serious injury to someone, or driving without a license.

Although an arresting officer may ask someone to take a test to determine if they are driving under the influence of alcohol or other substances, the person may refuse such a test. If a person refuses to submit to such a test, the officer has the right to report the refusal, which will be filed and may result in suspension of driving privileges for 6 months.

Anyone experiencing legal issues related to a traffic stop involving suspected driving under the influence should contact an experienced Illinois DUI attorney.

I guess if you look at it in terms of pounds lost, smaller clothing worn, and lifestyle changes, most would consider my Nutrisystem journey a success. I have lost most of the weight I wanted to lose and have kept it off. And I’m reasonably sure I’ll be able to keep this up and keep the weight off. I also look at food in a much healthier and less obsessive way.

Then the other day a coworker asked me what my secret was. Because he knew someone else who had been on this diet who hadn’t had the same kind of lasting success. I think she suspected that she was skipping meals or that she was not adding side dishes with each meal or that she was exercising in a dangerous or unhealthy way. None of these things were true. There may be a few things that have helped contribute to my success. I’ll let you decide if you want to call them “secret” or not. But, I will share them in the next article.

Is “Glycemic Index Friendly” the Nutrisystem Secret?: Most experts will tell you that this diet is primarily effective because the ratio of carbs, calories, and protein in the food you are given is such that it encourages ketosis. This causes your body to burn more fat for fuel since it doesn’t have free rein on continuous carbs (which you’ve probably been providing previously).

Now, I will certainly admit that this certainly helps. I mean fewer calories and more calories burned or expended is pretty cool and I know this works. But adding a little extra fat burning can only help, and can sometimes deliver better and faster results. This is always good because it is the results that keep you wanting to continue. Very few people will stick with a diet and resist it when they are not rewarded with results. So yes, glycemic consideration helps. And I’m a big believer in that, so much so that in the early stages of the diet I was never without ketone strips to make sure this diet was doing its job and putting me in ketosis.

What I think is the real secret of the Nutrisystem (and for those who lose a lot of weight with it 🙂 As I hope you can see, I really appreciate the low amount of carbs in these foods, but I think the real key to this diet lies a little deeper. I think the real secret to success with this diet is for the manufacturer to understand the psychological obstacles dieters face. The company seems to really understand the realities that no one wants to talk about.

What I mean by this are things like this: I am inherently lazy. I don’t want to have to “work” too hard to get results. Yes, I am willing to change what I eat a bit. I know that I will not eat my favorite foods every day at every meal. But, I can’t deny that I want to enjoy what I’m eating. I want to be able to wait for a meal once in a while. And I don’t want to be kept away from foods and desserts that I really enjoy. I mean, I don’t want to have to say goodbye to hamburgers and chocolate cake forever.

I also don’t want to be a gourmet cook. It shouldn’t be hard to think of foods that will help me lose weight. I remember trying to learn how to make an almond crusted cheesecake for the zone diet. The cake was good, but it took me about two hours to make and I knew when I was enjoying it that I would never go to that effort again. Working that hard is simply not sustainable in any length of time.

The company seems to understand this because they do most of the work for you. They provide most of the food you will consume. They have already counted the sugars, carbohydrates, proteins and calories. They have made a list of everything so you don’t have to guess when, how or what to eat. They have provided free advice that just requires you to log into your computer or pick up your phone to use it. In short, they anticipated every objection or difficulty you might have and removed or fully addressed it.

Finally, if I had to define what I do that I would classify as my “secrets”, it would be just a few things. For me, the real key to all of this is making good food choices. (I always go with the custom package so I can choose what I want.) I know that as long as I’m happily eating the food, I won’t be tempted to go off my regimen. And, of course, the Nutrisystem pizza, burgers, and chocolate aren’t exactly what I’d be eating off the diet, but they’re passable, taste pretty good, and mean my jeans continue to get smaller. I still buy ketone strips because this lets me know that I will be held accountable when I cheat.

And it finally crossed my mind that working out even a little bit was going to make this go so much faster. I will never love the gym and probably never will. So, I accept this about myself in the same way that I accept my laziness to cook. Instead, I just go for a brisk walk after dinner or walk home from my son’s school after dropping him off. It’s five miles and it was hard at first, but now I enjoy this and recharge my MP3 every weekend in advance for the next week.

Taking care of an animal is more than providing shelter and food. It also means making sure they are in good health. As a pet owner, it is your responsibility to take your beloved animal to the vet for regular health evaluations. You should also make sure they get their shots. In the event that your pet becomes ill, you should also provide them with the best medical care possible. All of this can affect your finances.

If you want to provide the best medical treatment for your beloved pet, then you must be prepared for the expenses involved. Fortunately, you have the option of getting pet insurance. Pet insurance can help you pay for the veterinary care your pet needs and help alleviate the expenses necessary for your pet’s health. But what are the factors you should consider when looking for the best pest insurance plans?

The cost of the insurance plan

Remember that when choosing a pet insurance plan, you need to make sure that it can provide you with the right amount of coverage. It should also fit within your budget. If an insurance company promises high payouts, you should consider the cost of the plan. Do you have to increase your deductible just to pay it?

The maximum payment
The maximum payment refers to the maximum reimbursement that the insurance company is willing to give you. There are five types of maximum payments.

• Per Incident: This is the amount of money the company will reimburse for illness or injury. Once you reach the maximum payment per incident, you will no longer receive any reimbursement for that particular illness or accident.
• Annual Payment: This is the amount of money that the company is willing to repay each year. Once you reach the maximum annual payment, you will not be reimbursed for the rest of the year.
• Lifetime payment: This refers to the reimbursement given by the company during the life of your pet. If you reach the maximum lifetime payment, your pet will no longer be insured by the company.
• By Body System: This refers to reimbursement for each body system, such as the nervous system and the respiratory system. If you reach the limit, you will no longer be reimbursed for any injuries or illnesses related to that specific body system.
• Default Benefit Schedule – The reimbursement you are awarded based on the stated fee schedule. Before you get an insurance plan with this payment, you should review the rate schedule.

Insurance Coverage

Pet insurance covers various types of pet illnesses and injuries. If you are looking for the best insurance policy for your beloved pet, it should cover essential components such as common medical conditions, cancer, chronic diseases, and congenital and hereditary diseases.

Why wholesale real estate as the vehicle of choice to make quick money in real estate? There are so many reasons to consider “wholesale” as the absolute best way for new investors to make an absolute fortune in real estate!

The most compelling reasons are:

1.) Zero Risk
2.) The investor does not need money
3.) No rehabs or repairs or contractor nightmares to deal with
4.) No Tenants Destroying Your Property and Sanity
5.) No real estate ownership (no taxes, no utility bills, no maintenance bill, etc.)
6.) You don’t need good credit
7.) You don’t even need a job
8.) And there are several more… but you get the idea!

I started wholesale homes in 2001 and to date have wholesaled over 450 homes, all within a 20 mile radius of my home. I consider myself an expert on the subject. I love this business and can’t see myself wanting to do anything else for a living ever again!

Here’s a quick overview of the wholesale system:

1.) Find a motivated seller who will sell at a deep discount
2.) Put your house under a contract of sale assignable between the two of you
3.) Find a motivated investor/buyer who wants to buy the motivated seller’s house
4.) Assign your sales contract between you and the original motivated seller to your new investor/motivated buyer for a fee (assignment fee).
5.) Go to closing and collect your fee (assignment fee)
6.) Repeat often!

That’s all! Anyone can easily learn this overly simplistic, but real chain of events! I could have completed the above deal with no money, no credit, not even a job! The deal had no risk to speak of! I never took possession of the house, interest passed directly from the original owner directly to my investor/buyer and around me!

If the house needed repairs, then guess what, my investor/buyer will be the one to do the repairs, NOT ME! If the house is going to be rented out to tenants, that burden is also the new owners baggage and not mine!

What I probably like the most is the fact that I didn’t need any of my own money to structure this deal! Now, you may need a small deposit to hold the house when you write the sales contract with the motivated seller. I usually give a deposit of $100.00 or less (security deposit) to make the sales contract legally binding, and that’s it! That’s all the money I’ll need to put this deal together! On many occasions I have put down just $1.00 to secure the sales contract! Motivated sellers don’t look for big deposits!

These are not conventional agreements, in which we are the end users of the real estate we are hiring. We don’t go to the bank and try to get a mortgage on these houses. So we’ll never need the traditional 10-20% initial deposits that regular buyers have to make! The guy doing that in this example deal is our investor/buyer! Is this starting to make sense?

Look, I’ve done this over 450 times in 7 years! I have an exact science that I adhere to too! I have built a “wholesale/flipping machine” that keeps turning out deal after deal for me.

How much do these assignment fees pay? Well I average $7,500.00 per deal! Now, let’s put this dollar amount into perspective: 1 transaction per month @ $7,500.00 = 12 transactions per year = $90,000.00 per year 2 transactions per month @ 7,500.00 = 24 transactions per year = $180,000.00 per year 3 transactions per month @ 7,500.00 = 36 transactions per year = $270,000.00 per year 4 deals per month @ 7,500.00 = 48 deals per year = $360,000.00 per year.

A professional wholesaler can easily do 50 to 75 a year. A part time wholesaler can easily do 6 deals a year with no problem (1 deal every 2 months!) That’s still an extra $45,000.00 per year! What would that do for the lifestyle of the average American each year?

I don’t know of any other business that has ZERO RISK involved in the learning curve period, that has the ability to yield this type of income! Is incredible!

I finished high school with a “C” average and never earned a college degree. So I’m just the average guy, with average intelligence. If I can do this, I bet you can too! Some days I still can’t believe how profitable this business is! I personally know several wholesalers in my market who make over $500,000.00 per year selling wholesale homes full time! That’s more than most surgeons and the President of the United States make! Amazing, right!

Who should wholesale houses for a living? Well, ask yourself the following questions and see how it goes:

* Am I the type of person who likes to forge their own path in life?
*Am I a leader and not a follower?
* Am I the type of person who likes a personal challenge?
* Do I usually finish what I start or give up when I hit the first hurdle?
* Can you imagine having and doing the best things that life has to offer?
* Do you want to retire before your head?
* Do you want more time to enjoy family, friends and life?

If you answered yes to most of these questions, you are a solid candidate for the wholesale real estate business model! If this is the first time you’ve heard of “real estate wholesale,” then you need to learn more about how you can start using this investment system to change your financial outlook right away!

Wholesale real estate, wholesale real estate, wholesale real estate, say it over and over again until it’s embedded in your subconscious mind! It’s the lowest risk, fastest paying style of real estate investing any new investor could ask for!

“Life is changing great!”

The PSP has quickly become the best-selling handheld gaming system and continues to find new customers every day. It is a system that is packed with features and options that are sure to keep anyone entertained. One of the best features of the PSP is the ability to download free PSP games and play them instantly.

One of the most common questions we get is ‘Where can I download free PSP games?’ We thought it would be a good idea to go over your options. Let’s take a look.

When looking for free PSP games, you have three main options:

Download Free PSP Games – First Option

You can find websites all over the internet that claim to offer “free PSP downloads”. These websites look promising; however, there are a few things you should know before using them.

Many of these websites have already been shut down for distributing viruses, spyware, and illegal downloads. They are not checked at all, so many of the files that claim to be games are actually viruses or other infection that can harm your computer.

The other complaint people have is that the download speeds are extremely slow and many of the games you download end up being “corrupted” meaning they won’t work at all.

It is a great pain to wait days for something to finish and discover that it does not work or that it is not what you were looking for.

In general, we recommend avoiding these websites. They put your computer at risk and end up being more trouble than they’re worth.

Download Free PSP Games – Second Option

This second option is much more secure than the first, and luckily your downloads will always work.

There are PSP download membership websites that allow you to log in and download free PSP games whenever you want. The problem is that they charge you a monthly membership fee (around $30) to have access to these files.

The good thing about these websites is that you can find games, movies, TV shows, music and more to download for your PSP. As a member you have access to all of them.

This option is pretty good, however there are cheaper ways to find PSP downloads.

Download Free PSP Games – Third Option

This last option ends up being much cheaper than the previous one and avoids any of the problems that you find with the first option.

There are PSP download websites that charge a one-time fee for a lifetime membership. You will only be billed once ($35-45) and then you can download PSP games whenever you want.

The software you use to transfer files to your PSP is included with your membership. You can get information on how to get a free trial on a couple of these websites at http://www.pspmaxed.com. Setup takes about 5 minutes and you can start downloading right away.

The good thing about this option is that you only have to pay once and then you don’t have to worry: the selection is huge.

As the popularity of the PSP continues to grow, we expect more and more people to start using free PSP downloads for their system and fewer full-price games to be sold in stores. Downloading games this way definitely opens up a whole new world for your system and makes it easy to keep your PSP stocked with the latest games and movies. Happy gaming!

I know that I know. I must be crazy for even asking the question. How can a guy who’s on pace to not only erase the one-season TD mark, but possibly go undefeated, not be MVP? Only someone with a personal grudge against the guy would think otherwise. Someone would have to be a die-hard Ohio State Buckeye fan, or hate QBs that appear in GQ magazines, or hate any player who plays for Darth Hoodie to even entertain the idea that Tom Brady doesn’t deserve MVP.

Well I’m here today (well sit here really) as someone who is none of the above three. I like the Wolverines and I don’t hold a grudge against the GQ club or anyone who plays for the despicable presence of Bill Belichick. So now that we’re on the same page, let me explain why Tom Brady isn’t the NFL MVP this season so far.

Yes, Tom Brady will be statistically the best player not only this season, but quite possibly in history. Yes, he will finish the season a minimum of 14-2, with a chance for perfection in the offing. But do these two things mean he HAS to be the MVP? This kind of debate comes up every year in baseball. Does having the craziest stats imaginable mean you’re the most VALUABLE player in your entire sport? A-Rod just won American League MVP. Was it just because he put up numbers like Mantle and Ruth? No. It was because he alone propelled the Yankees to the playoffs. Take away A-Rod and the Yankees don’t make the playoffs.

So this brings me back to my point. I will say it boldly. As of this point in the NFL season, having nearly completed week 12, Brett Favre is the NFL MVP. Just to bear with a little more ridicule, let’s look at a brief side-by-side statistical comparison.

Touchdowns: Brady-39, Favre-22.

Yards: Brady-3,439, Favre-3,356.

Interceptions: Brady-4 (are you kidding?), Favre- 8

Jump rating: Brady-127.9, Favre-101.5

Why, after this almost embarrassing statistical comparison, and knowing that Tom Brady will possibly be the quarterback to lead his team to a perfect season, do I think old River Brett Favre is the MVP? Thanks for asking. I’ll tell you why. Let’s look at some important factors that should not be overlooked. We’ll start simple. Tom Brady actually has a team around him. Brett Favre has players around him. Brady has a team, and a great team on that note. He has the most gifted receiver in the NFL, after the quietest steal in NFL history in terms of trades. His second receiver could be No. 1 on many teams. Wes Welker, #3, could also be #1 or #2 on many teams. The Maroney-Morris tandem, while unsurprising of late, has provided a good running game. Add this to the fact that Brady is protected by the Great Damn Wall of China with his offensive line, and he has all the pieces for success. I am not demeaning the success of it. He is an incredible quarterback. But keep in mind that he is playing for an amazing team. It’s a product of his own talent, but also of the incredible talent that surrounds him.

Brett Favre, on the other hand, is a product of none other than himself. Please name me 4 starters in the Packers offense not named Brett Favre or Donald Driver. You can rattle off the Patriots’ trio of wide receivers, their tight end, running backs, etc. Brett Favre is playing almost alone out there. He’s creating a star in a kid named Greg Jennings and up until the last few weeks he had the equivalent of a high school racing game trailing him. Despite all this, despite the lack of talent around him, despite the lack of running game around him until the recent appearance of Ryan Grant, you have an old quarterback doing absolutely incredible things.

And now the second reason why Brett Favre, and NOT Tom Brady, is the MVP right now. Take the fact that the Patriots are the best team in the NFL, and add the fact that their schedule hasn’t exactly been, shall we say, grim. Tell me if this line of opponents sounds scary to you. Buffalo Bills (twice), New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals. Is anyone else still shaking? I don’t believe it. The only real defense they’ve played this season was Indy, and MAYBE San Diego (although lately they can’t seem to defend anyone). The Packers, on the other hand, have played these teams: Eagles, Giants, Chargers, Vikings (twice), Bears, @Denver, @Kansas City, and Carolina. I said that in a previous post of mine, but I don’t think anyone in the league has had a tougher defensive schedule so far. And yet, Brett Favre has almost singlehandedly led his team to a 9-1 record.

Add all of these factors together, and you spell one thing; MVP. The player most value. Brett Favre, in terms of his team value, is the best player in the National Football League right now. Let the hate emails and comments continue.

One of the popular features or functionality of the BlackBerry smartphone is the ability to send and receive email from different service providers like Google, Hotmail, Yahoo and many others. Just like with any other electronic device, sometimes things can happen that prevent you from sending or receiving email on the BlackBerry and today I’m going to discuss some of the top solutions to fix this problem.

telephone services changed

Sometimes the services on your phone can be changed on your carrier’s end. This is not very common, but it can happen and making a simple phone call to your provider and asking them to verify that the correct services are on the BlackBerry account can often reveal whether or not this is the problem. If you are unable to send or receive email, try sending a PIN message if this fails, it is probably due to an operator network issue.

Corrupted service books

Service books are basically like computer drivers or little files that tell applications on the BlackBerry how to run and what to do when given certain commands. Sometimes these can become corrupted and stop working properly. While service books primarily affect the ability to send email, I found that deleting (your email)[CMIME] login by entering:

software version 5

Options -> Advanced Options -> Service Book -> (Your email)[CMIME]

Highlight the previous entry and then press the menu or blackberry button and then press “Delete”.

software version 6

Options -> Device -> Advanced System Settings -> Service Book -> (your email)[CMIME)[CMIME)[CMIME)[CMIME)

Highlight the previous entry and then press the menu button or BlackBerry and then press “Delete”.

and then going into the mail settings app on your device, logging in and then pressing the BlackBerry button, choosing “Service Books” and then choosing the “Resend Service Books” option can often resolve the inability to send or receive email.

BlackBerry firewall is enabled

All BlackBerry smartphones running Device Software 5.0 and 6.0 have a built-in firewall that can log incoming messages, one of which is BlackBerry Internet Service email. To solve this problem, you will need to enter this firewall and make sure that the BIS or BES entrance is not blocked. This can be done by going to:

DeviceSoftware 5.0

Options -> Security -> Firewall: Make sure the BIS item is unchecked. If BIS is checked, simply uncheck it, click the menu button, and then click the option to save changes.

IT Policy Blocking Email

If your BlackBerry is on a corporate server, or you have received your used BlackBerry, a restriction called an “IT Policy” may have been placed on your BlackBerry that is causing you to be unable to send or receive email to the device. This can be verified by checking the firewall or service book areas as above to see if there is a small padlock next to the BIS or email entry.

‘Leave copy on server’

The BlackBerry pulls email directly from the mail server, whether you’re using business email, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, or whatever. Many people will use Outlook or some other type of mail client to take this email from the server and send it to the user’s computer. Sometimes what can happen is that the email client, such as Outlook, is configured to delete the email from the server when you take it. If this is done before the BlackBerry can get the message from the actual mail server, this could cause you to be unable to receive email. Make sure your mail client settings are set to keep a copy of the message on the mail server.

Credit cards are a double-edged sword. People are addicted to plastic crack. They buy things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like. Plastic money has Americans hooked. Card ads are everywhere. How bad is it? According to some statistics, the average American household has more than $15,000 in credit card debt.

I do not advocate that everyone have a credit card. If you can’t control your cash, you definitely can’t control your plastic spending. I teach at the University of Financial Peace and we strictly preach freedom from debt and getting rid of your cards. Because? Because most people will spend when they have a credit card. Also, those same people will not pay their current charges and carry a balance. Therefore, putting them back in credit card debt.

There is a myth that you need credit. That is a lie. You don’t need credit to survive. It makes it easy to travel, rent cars and book hotels. But the truth is that you can do it with a debit card. The buy now pay later syndrome is the reason so many people are in debt. This is how people get trapped and headed for financial disaster.

Only the Responsible and Disciplined

I use my cards every day. But I pay my balance every month. Paying interest is stupid. I still believe that most people should not own or use a credit card unless they are responsible and disciplined to pay it off every month. As I mentioned earlier, if you can’t control your cash, you’ll do worse with credit cards.

listen to me again Paying interest on things you buy is stupid. If you can’t pay the balance, don’t buy the damn thing. Do you really need it anyway? Is that new big screen necessary now? Or is happy hour that important? Think before you take it out. Better leave it at home.

not for emergencies

They should not be used for emergencies. This is an excuse that people use because they are not financially prepared. What are emergencies? The tire’s flat, the air conditioning isn’t working, the kids need new shoes, you’re hungry and broke. You take out your plastic to pay for these things and then you start to accumulate that balance. You don’t pay the balance and the next month another “emergency” appears. If you don’t have an emergency fund, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Here are 4.5 ways to really use your credit cards:

1. To make that $$$

Rich people use cards to expand their businesses. They use it to make that $$$. Here is the key! They pay their balances at the end of the month. They generate income with their cards and then pay it out. They hate paying interest. I am an affiliate marketer and I use my credit cards for marketing and pay off the balance each month.

There is a daily limit on the use of your debit card. But not with credit cards and I don’t need limits on my spending. My credit cards help me earn money. If your plastic can help you increase your income, then use it.

2. Not for personal use

If you can’t pay the balance at the end of the statement, don’t buy it. If you couldn’t buy it with cash then don’t get it. I know you will pay for it later. If that were true, there wouldn’t be all this credit card debt hanging around. Don’t even take it with you. Just having it will make you want to buy things. Things are what kill people financially.

Bankrupts pay fees and interest rates because they cannot afford to buy with cash. Those are the consequences of not having enough money to buy what you want. Fees and interest add up. You’re simply giving away money when you can’t pay it back by the statement date.

Here’s a trick I use. I always have a monthly budget. I know where every dollar goes. I take that budget and put it on my credit card. I actually create a positive balance on my cards. So I stick to my budget and never owe a balance. Why am I doing this? You’ll see when you read #4.

3. Your personal accountant

That’s why I use my credit cards for every purchase. I get a statement at the end of the month, quarter and year. I see where my money went and they add charts too. I download the statements to my Quick Books software and give the year-end statements to my tax collector. Boom accounting is done.

4. Benefits, privileges, rewards and points

The icing on the cake is all the perks, privileges, rewards, and points you get when you use your cards. I’m a cash back guy and I’ll be getting a lot of cash back this year (which I keep in my investment accounts). My business credit cards give me all the advantages. I get discounted points, miles, VIP event tickets and no exchange fees when traveling around the world.

I get travel insurance, rental car insurance that saves me $$$ on rental cars and much more. Plus, all of this is free when you pay off your balance. When you use your credit cards correctly, you can collect benefits

4.5TB Start your business

I warn you not to use your credit cards to start your business. Especially if you are a newbie with no experience in the field you are about to enter. The risk is too great. Now I used my credit cards to invest in my business. That was around $20k. That was a great bet. But I had 4 years of experience when I took the plunge.

I also kept my day job to help make the monthly payments. Created multiple streams of income to pay off balances faster. Those balances are at $0 now, but I had to go up, grind, and shine. It took some time, but my business is successful. If your business fails, you still have to pay off those credit cards.

bottom line

Most people should stay away from credit cards because they can’t control their cash and credit cards will make things worse. Use it only if you can pay the balance each month. Remember paying interest and fees is stupid. Do not be stupid. It’s a great accounting tool and the benefits are worth the discipline and responsibility.
