Corporations

I’ve been reading this book Inc And Grow Rich trying to learn more about the incorporation process.

I needed to find a quick and easy to read book giving me the basics on pros and cons of different types of corporations and the benefits of incorporating. “Save yourself 70% in taxes and protect your assets forever.”

When starting to invest, it is important to think about the protection of those assets while conducting business online, or work from home. So, I am reading as much as I can and will post about what is going on as I can.

I find these books easier to read than the common get-rich books, but all are important to build my understanding or financial intelligence.

Rich Dad Poor Dad

I have made the decision that this is the year I really begin investing my money.

I just started reading Rich Dad Poor Dad last night, and while I have read many self-help financial books, I have always said “I’ll start investing when I have more money.” I think that attitude is what is getting in my way and I need to invest more money in things, and this is the year!

Hopefully, since I am a quick learning, I will take what I know, and what I have learned and do the best I can this year.

From what I have read so far, Rich Dad Poor Dad seems like a good book to start with at this moment.

Skateboards

Did you ride a skateboard when you were younger? Why did you stop? Many adults are getting back to there old hobbies. The 80′s were not just about wacky music and outlandish outfits, but also some of the great years for one of America’s favorite sports now, Skateboarding.

Girls are riding skateboards more than ever, and you can always find new gifts for your love ones if they are into skating as well. Age not a factor.

Check out Skate Shop Online for good deals on skateboarding stuff.

Take a look at some skateboard deck art collected over the years.

Girl Gamers on Warcraft

So my wife has been playing World of Warcraft lately.

Did you know there is a wave of “girl gamers” on the internet? Yes, with the popularity of video games and online gaming in general, there are now women lurking behind those MMORPG charachters kicking your butt in PVP (player versus player) combat!

Be careful who you chose to duel if you are unable to handle getting your butt kicked by a 2 foot tall girl. There are female Gnome Frost Mages that will cripple you in PVP and are a valued part of any dungeon group.

Do you play Warcraft?

How many adults play World of Warcraft? I bet it is more than you would imagine! Today’s video gamer is not just a chubby faced kid with glasses. Much of today’s gaming advertising is not only aimed at adults, but many of the games themselves are intended for adults. The video game industry has spent a lot of money to break away from the “chubby kid” gamer image.

While some are clearly for both kids and adults. World of Warcraft is a MMORPG which is Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or something similar. The game is the “world” or online version of the very successful Warcraft real time strategy games for the PC.

“Do you play World of Warcraft?” just may be the next pick up line in a bar!

World of Warcraft is very popular right now and you can find many screenshots of actual game play on the internet.

Get Rich Books

So I guess I’m going to order a couple more Get Rich Books. I feel like a romance addicted housewife who can’t put down grocery store novels :( But they encourage me nonetheless.

Maybe I’ll get an online payday loan and order the red iPod.

Lennon Coming to iTunes

Apple iTunes

Finally! Not only do I enjoy The Beatles music, I really like John Lennon and now the world will be able to listen to his music through the popular iTunes music download service from Apple.

Apple Inc. has introduced a reason for fans of The Beatles to rejoice by including sixteen albums of the legendary John Lennon in its iTunes music store. He is the third of the fab four to have his solo work digitally available. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have already made their digital debuts.

Sixteen solo albums of John Lennon from EMI group can be downloaded now, including the “Lennon Legend” and “Acoustic” collections, which make their first worldwide digital introduction.

Judge Sues Over Missing Pants

Wow, so now I guess you can sue for ridiculous amounts of money for just about anything these days.

Is this guy really a judge? How can a judge be so irrational and still be taken serious?

Roy Pearson Jr lost his initial lawsuit of 54 million dollars to a local dry cleaner who seemed to have misplaced his pants. But he has filed an appeal, even though the Chung family withdrew their motion to have Pearson pay their legal fees. Which are at about $82,000. The Chung family has raised $100,000 in donations and fundraisers to help cover the legal fees and business losses.

54 million for missing pants?

Elvis Is Dead

Listen up folks, Elvis is dead. I wish his family would stop selling his image and sound over and over exploiting him and reducing him to a candy bar wrapper. yes, the new Reeses Peanut Butter cup “King Size” now has a Elvis toon to promote the sugary snack.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like Elvis and his music – but he is dead. People need to stop acting as if he is still alive and on tour. His family is behind this.

The only reason Elvis is called “The King” is because he trademarked it. He is not known as the King of Rock and Roll for his music, its only a branded image. Most of you won’t even understand that, but that is the truth. His family paid lots of money to trademark his image and now sells it every day. He longer performs, he is no longer writing music (which he didn’t do much of) and he isn’t coming back.

Get over it, and let the man die. As I see it, his fans and family have stripped him of any honor because as of now, all he does is sell Reeses peanut butter cups.

This is what the King does?????

Sorry, but your king is now a jester. As admitted by the people who came up with the Reeses campaign, Elvis never ate Reeses Peanut Butter cups.

Is this what will become of musicians and celebs in the future, product endorsements even after death?

Google Charging For Extra Storage

Sounds like Google is now offering storage plans for gmail and its other products.

I wonder why some would pay for this storage when its free at like Yahoo?

I don’t personally use much space for gmail, i only have about 10 messages that are in there right now – so I wonder, who in their right mind would pay $500 USD a year to store photos and emails? The $500 plan gets you 250 gigs though.
