The
Survival of Thriving
I thought
of myself as a very successful businesswoman and author of two award-winning
and bestselling books; but after my recent and sudden health
emergency that left me in a near fatal condition, I've been forced to
reanalyze what the definition of success really means. My medical
condition was brought on by unseen health conditions, which if I had
taken the appropriate time for myself, could have been avoided by
preventive measures. Combine our change-the-world ambitions with a
diligent work ethic and 24/7 technology, and we've got a recipe for
chronic exhaustion which ultimately leads to health issues. It goes
without saying that a massively driven, self-made entrepreneur will
innately struggle with the importance of sleep, the challenges
of perfectionistic tendencies, and struggles with time but to be
truly successful, one must live for the things that are irreplaceable. [more...]
Latinos Not Buying Obamacare
While
most people think that all minorities including Hispanics are blind supporters
of President Obama, the numbers tell quite a different story. It turns out that
while Latinos may have been promised the world by candidate Obama, who warned
them against the perils of a Mitt Romney presidency, the administration hasn't
included the U.S. Hispanic community. According to the 2012 Census figures,
Hispanics led all ethnic groups in the total percentage of uninsureds. That's
why the administration banked on having huge numbers of Hispanics sign up under
Obamacare. What happened was quite the opposite. The administration missed
their targets for Latino enrollment into Obamacare by more than 30%. Going into
Obamacare, 29% of all Hispanics were without healthcare coverage. [more...]
Political
Correctness IS a Form of Hate
By
Joe
Messina
By
definition of the left, a hater is one that doesn't agree with you... period. The assumption is that because I don't agree
with same sex marriage, abortion, and immigration that I HATE all those
involved. If we are going to communicate with each other - and we know
communication can make or break a relationship - we need to speak the same
language. If you are going to call me a hater, racist, homophobe, or bigot,
should we not be using the same meaning from the same widely accepted
dictionary? Based on Webster's dictionary, if I don't agree with and feel
strongly against abortion and/or dislike abortion, then a true statement would
be that I hate abortion. However, also based on Webster's definition, I do not
hate the person who performed or had the abortion because I don't have an
intense or passionate dislike for the person - just the act. To communicate
clearly, we have to speak the same language with the same understanding.
Definitions for racist, homophobe, bigot, and so on have to have the same
meanings for all or they mean nothing. [more...]
The
Top Reasons People Have Too Much Debt
By

Botkin
* The average person can go 17 days without a
paycheck.
* One in five people have over $10,000 in consumer debt alone.
* 41% paid nothing on their principal balance of their debts.
* 43% of American families spend more than they earn (in many cases, more than 20%).

Sadly, young people aren't showing any signs of
improvement. For example, the average amount of credit card debt for people
between ages 20-29 is $1,800 and total debt for 20-somethings averaged $45,000.
* Only 13 states require students to take
finance class yet most require gym classes.
* 60% of people ages 18-34 don't keep a
budget.
* Educational debt is the fastest growing debt in the US. In fact, average student loan debt for 2010 (when I researched this) was $25,000, yet they had an unemployment rate of 12.4%. In fact, it is estimated that almost 50% of recent college graduates are either unemployed or underemployed.
