~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every now and then the husband and I get into some serious talks about the future. We have some long term plans as well as short-term ones that we want to accomplish in a few years. We know there's a lot of hard work to be done if we want any of these plans to materialize. We make it a point to be practical in everything we do. Sometimes we get carried away and buy more than what we planned to buy but that's rare. Most of the time we stick to the plan so I think we're good. LOL.... I mentioned here several times that if I have the money, I'll buy me gold bullion . It turns out, the husband also thinks that is a good idea. I know he's into stock and stock trading recently but it's only now that he mentioned he also wants to invest in gold. Gold a[s well as some other precious metals like silver] has passed the test of time and is staying solid even if everything around it is crushing down. We're not buying yet but it's someth...

Is it summer already? It definitely feels like it is here in our neck of the woods. We woke up with a temperature in the lower 70s and it’s well over 90 degrees right now. So to answer my own question, yes it is…or so it seems. Hubby doesn’t like the heat. But guess what? He’s been scouting some properties in the Philippines [via the internet of course] because he wants to move there the soonest possible time. Seriously? He is well aware that the temperature there is a lot hotter but he still wants to try it there…so be it. He wants to buy a property there but he wants to see the place for himself so we may just fly there soon. Properties in the Philippines are a lot cheaper compared here. A few years ago, it would have a great investment. I’m not sure right now if it would still be a great investment. If you ask me I’d rather buy gold coins for investment since the price of gold has been rising steadily amidst this economic downturn. And if we really want to be secured with our inves...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Economic Recession. Two words that we don’t want to hear, especially from the administration. That’s probably why it took them a year to finally admit that we are indeed experiencing economic recession since December 2007. What now? Do we start packing our bags and move across the globe? Not quite. It’s no secret that this recession is not only felt here in the US but all over the world so moving will not be a smart decision right now. What is? Stay put and plan for the future. All is not lost. There are some people who are willing to risk their own money in order to help us get back on our feet. This is how Rebuilding of America started…with the goal of helping each and everyone of us. The investment is very affordable at $20 with the promise that the money we invest is secured and all the profit is distributed equally to the investors every year. How is our investment secured? Believe it or not, the $20 that we put in is FDIC insured because it’s put...
