The Nationwide Just Joined The GrowingThrong!

OK, I'm not here to say I told you so, completely the opposite actually. Yesterday The Nationwide joined the growing throng of banks and building societies making it EVEN HARDER for first time buyers to ever own their own home in this country.

If you haven't got the message yet, 25% deposit is required in the year 2008 for low rate mortgages for first time buyers. The banks are not making as much money out of bad debts so they look for other ways to make their money instead!

Your children are in jeopardy, they haven't got a hope in hell when they grow up unless you are prepared to part with at least £100,000 of your own money, ask yourself over the weekend, exactly how well prepared ARE my children for the future.

Kids Money Packs - give you an idea on how to do something for the next generation before it's too late.
Until next rant, as always Diane

Fast Forward to March 2008 & The Challenge!

At the start of this year, I has no concept on how quickly the headlines would swing to the doom & gloom predictions that fill every inch of the financial pages of the news both online & offline.

Knowing the short comings of merely "reading a book" and hoping things will change, we decided to use the internet, a website and a blog to SHOW people just how much more in control of their own destiny they actually are.

If the predictions of Robert Kiyosaki & Donald Trump come true, most people have just 2-3 short years to "rework their financial thinking" before things turn from difficult to near impossible. The predictions include the disappearance of the "middle classes" and a stock market crash in 2010 that will be worse than 9/11.

So for anyone up for a positive change for the better, we suggest you stick to the Control Freak Recipe like glue, arm yourself with our products and follow what we do over the coming months as we DEMONSTRATE a live attempt at Paying Off a "Mortgage" in Less Than 3 Years starting from ZERO on Saturday March 29th 2008.

Don't Miss A Single Thing --- 2008 Just Got Very Exciting!

Kids Money gets the Dollar Thumbs Up!

Exciting news! Kids Dollars is underway - aiming to spread the message round the globe. There really are no shortage of parents needing to find a better way to consistently introduce simple money management to their children.

Some of our articles are now being published in various article directories and the buzz continues to grow.

My apologies for one of early Kids Money Pack owners, Alex who has successfully saved up for his first Next Special Thing only to find that the money box we provided was large enough to take a £2 coin in the slot - but was impossible to retrieve it out the bottom!

Maybe there is a good reason why we went digital instead! Alex had to sacrifice the money box in favour of being able to buy his Next Special Thing with his own money!
Well done Alex - we are very proud of you!
Until next time Diane

Must read Robert Kiyosaki book Rich Kid Smart Kid

Rich Kid Smart Kid written by the amazing Robert Kiyosaki is targeted straight into the reason why Kids Money Packs are so important. The title of his book, Rich Kid Smart Kid goes on to say - Giving Your Child a Financial Head Start. This brilliant author, famous for the thought provoking Rich Dad, Poor Dad is the reason why I came to understand that "the good old days" and the "it's what we have always done" ideas belong in a museum.

An excerpt from the book, Rich Kid Smart Kid says:-

"Is it possible that every child is born with the potential to be rich and smart? There are some people who think it is possible and there are other who don't. The first part of this book is dedicated to protecting that possibility for your child."

Learn the new rules - money may not be everything - but it's right up there with oxygen! Buy a copy from Amazon Now or direct from www.richdad.com

Enjoy! Best Wishes Diane
