Welcome to the site that has a little bit of something for everyone!!

I want to talk about Effort. Have you ever wondered how successful people get where they are? Do you think that it’s luck? And once they get to the top of their field, how do they stay there? Well I can tell you from experience that it takes a lot of hard work, sacrifice, dedication and determination. That’s called EFFORT!!! You have to try harder than everyone else. The more you put in, the further you will strengthen your chances of accomplishing your dreams and goals! Along the way you will encounter problems, negative attitudes, and people who just don’t understand you or your goals! That’s when it takes more EFFORT to keep going.

Remember the saying, ‘When the going gets tough..... the tough get tougher!’

Debit Cards V Credit Cards

When you’re under 18, you’re lucky! You can’t get into trouble with credit cards as you are under the legal age! But a lot of young people are encouraged to get credit cards when they turn 18! Beware as misuse of a credit card is one of the easiest ways to get into debt.

Fiona was so happy when she was approved for her first credit card. She chose a hot-pink extra shiny one, and jumped for joy the day it arrived in the mail. Fiona took her new credit card everywhere and used it. A lot. It was fun for a while. In a month of fun Fiona had maxed her shiny card and racked up a $1000 debt that she had no way of paying. With no other options, Fiona was forced to pay her debt through the dreaded minimum monthly fee, a maximum-interest, long-term payment plan. In the end she paid over $2000 for what was originally a $1000 debt. Fiona was no longer excited by credit cards. Even the shiny, pink ones.
