Ready for Christmas Yet?

At this time of year more than any other time, Financial stress is looming.

What to do, how to pay for things?

Joe Money Matters will tackle the things that make you feel sick at your stomach and overwhelmed. WE NEED ANSWERS ,JOE!

Everything you have always wanted to know but were afraid to ask about Money, Debt, Financial stress etc.

Let’s set the table.

We all have been in the place where there is more month and not enough money.

What do I do? How will I manage?

Especially Military families. We want answers but there is no where to turn.

Well Joe has the answers!

Post your questions and we will undertake to answer them.

In todays highly charged political climate it is easier to blame this party or that one, but the answers are not in the Government!

Lets start with some revealing statistics.

55% of all divorce is a direct or indirect result of financial stress.

Many emotional disorders, such as depression and a nxiety disorder are related in no insignificant way to Financial stress.

Heart desease,stroke and many other illnesses are stress related.

The average 65 year old still owes 20 years on his mortgage.

 Most people in America will retire below the poverty level.

How many of us will fall into that statistic?

125%  of the disposable income of families is eaten up by debt.

Mom & Dad are forced out of the home, sometimes against their will, to work at jobs they hate and in many cases; for companies they dislike in order to pay for things they just had to have! 

Researchers say the average family spends about 20 minutes per day talking with their children.

The average family has NO money saved and lives paycheck to paycheck.

This means if a tire goes flat on the car, out come the credit cards.

If all the personal debt in America was divided equally between every man, woman and child in America it would mean every child would be born owing $3,800.00

Where are we going?

The financial experts tell us we are likely to experience the worst recession in history in the near future. Stock Market losses exceeding 50% of it’s value are possible.

Gas prices over $5.00 per gallon are likely in the next year.

What is the answer?

Will the Democrats be able to turn this around?

Will the Republicans be able to save us from this impending financial catastrophy?

Will the Independants have the answers?

If I hit the lotto everything will be fine.

NO!

The answer is not in any political party or in reduced salaries for corporate CEO’s or any other factor than taking authoriy over our own financial issues.

No one is going to help us if  we don’t decide to change a few basic things about how we relate to money.

We all want to be more sucessfull in out financial lives, but what bad habits are we willing to change to accomplish some financial freedom or even have some breathing room?

Debt is the major curse in our lives! Debt has robbed you and I and Debt

is distroying the American family, our government, and our freedom.

Let’s start right now. How can I budget, cut costs or begin to be a better stewart of our finances?

One important step in gaining real financial freedom is to STOP USING THE CREDIT CARDS!

Cut them up and throw them away!

Let’s figure out in future blog’s  how we can save $500. 00 per month or more on average just by looking at some seldom looked at areas of loss in the average family’s finances.

Are you excited? I am .

Joe’s deserve to win in life and in their finances.
