Mothers Day

A mother is someone who is always there for you no matter what the situation or circumstances. She is the strongest woman you will ever have in your life and someone that you should cherish always being there. I lost my mother almost 4 years ago to cancer. She had it for 12 years and never once complained about her situation. She made the most of it and was always there for me, to cheer me on and to be my support system. I see and hear people complain about their mothers and how they are supposedly "ruining" and interjecting their lives. I have one simple question to those people. What would you do when your mom isn't there anymore? The situation that I was put in, was a horrible one, but one that was even more terrifying for my mom. It made me such a better, more independent, and more aware that not everything in life is good. Although she is not here anymore she will forever be in my heart and will be looking over me where ever i may be. So next time you complain about your mother remember that she always has your best interests in mind and always tell her your love her.

Internet Privacy, No More

When people get on the internet and social networking sites, they expect that there is still some sort of privacy present. This may not be the case anymore. The government has launched a new program to "spy" on emails that are sent and received. To me, this seems like a big waste of taxpayer dollars, especially when our economy is at a loss. Another point is that spying on peoples emails and online profiles, is not going to protect that many people. Yes it will help with some of the terrorist threats within the U.S. but other than that it wouldn't do much.  4 online privacy worries

Maximize your wealth

Most people have trouble finding enough money at the end of the month for bills and other necessary things. There are certain things people need to realize with this problem and that is that its not going to get any easier. Therefore, they need to cut back on all the "wants" and unnecessary items and focus on their present necessities and also focus on their future.

Retirement in today's society

Retiring is a huge part of people's lives. Planning for retirement in today's society is a necessity. With social security benefits not being guaranteed for us younger generation people, we must plan for that huge time in our lives. Most people cannot retire on just their savings and what money they earn from their job. This is why financial planning and ways of investing are so important. Financial planning could be used thru life insurance, stocks, mutual funds, or IRAs. I believe that all of these are good options but I disagree with most people by saying that I believe stock are far too risky to dabble in. Yes, they can pay off in huge sums but the risk aversion is something i look for when it comes to assuring a comfortable retirement.
