How to choose the right bank for you?

progobbler — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:20:56 +0000

Alright, you’ve made your money. You have received your first or fifth check from Google. You are receiving royalty checks from hosting companies you refer through your site. Big bucks ay?! Well, what are you doing with that money? Our advice is to keep the money separated from your personal accounts and keep it in an account where it will only be used for emergency or for special occasions. Why do we say that? Our experience have been, money you don’t see - you don’t spend. What we’ve done is link our PayPal account to a totally separate checking account where the money is deposited directly to it once we withdraw the funds from Paypal.

We picked a bank who offers a free checking account similar to the checking account recently being offered by WaMu. WaMu (Washington Mutual) has free checks, free check safekeeping, and free wire transfers. Imagine having no fees being charged to you just because your balance fell below a certain amount? It’s totally free. Or, you may opt for their Platinum checking account which is interest-bearing, comes with free bank checks and money orders, and free Identity Theft Services, as well.

If you are saving your money, save it at a bank that will help you save it and not charge you for it. It’s another way you can get to financial freedom much faster.

Remember: It’s not how much you earn - it’s how much you keep.

10 Legitimate Businesses You Can Start for Under $20

progobbler — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:40:46 +0000

Whether you’re starting a business on the side while still employed elsewhere, a student or homemaker looking for extra income, or unemployed and trying to figure out what to do, there are plenty of opportunities for you to start up a side business inexpensively. It’s unlikely any of these will make you a living in the first few months, but they all have the potential to grow into full-time businesses. We’ll take a look at 10 such opportunities and, most importantly, tell you what to do with the $20!

1. Webpreneur

It’s what everyone who’s ever surfed the Web dreams of—just stick a web site up there and watch the cash roll in! Well, that just doesn’t happen overnight, but the fact of the matter is it’s really not very hard to do. To do it right, start by picking a subject matter you know a lot about. Then get a domain and create a web site. It doesn’t even matter what technology you use—just be totally anal-retentive about it looking good and provide plenty of original content. Now find some appropriate affiliate programs—that’s where your revenues are going to come from. Next, learn everything you can about search engine marketing and promote the heck out of your site. Last of all, set aside time every week to put new content on the site, delete dead links, and other maintenance. Now do this three or four times, and you’ve chosen your topics well, you might actually have some decent income from it.

Tidy up your debts, pay lower interest rates, apply for a personal loan.

progobbler — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 04:59:52 +0000

If you haven’t checked you credit card statements lately, you should. These companies have gone bonkers charging up to 35% in interest. How would you pay off a debt with that kind of rate? And remember, those are compounded rates - which means that they will charge you interest as well on the interest they charged you last month. We say, no way.

That is why we chose to clear up our debts and apply for a personal loan online. It’s the best way to pay down your debts. Applying is very easy now and sometimes, you get your results immediately after submitting your application.

Personal Loans are set amounts that you pay monthly and the interest rates are way lower than all of the credit card rates that are being charged today. You can easily manage your payments and not worry that you will never be able to pay it off because your interest rate is eating up the payments that you are making. If you’re paying the minimum each month, even worse.

A Personal Loan is much ideal in a sense that you are truly paying off your debt within a set amount of time. As long as you keep up with the payments, you will see your principal go down and it helps to encourage you as well because it simply means that you are freeing yourself from the burden of debt.

Don’t wait until the summer is over. If you have any lazy afternoons available, sit down and tally up your debts. Once you’ve gathered the total - figure out how much you can apply for using a personal loan and clean it up. You’ll feel much better when you start your Christmas shopping.

Remember our post about being frugal and not cheap?

progobbler — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:15:25 +0000

We’re all about saving money. We’re not cheap but we like to keep the money we work very hard for. It’s not rocket science and you can always find ways to save. You can save on groceries by using coupons, or shopping online for the best deals. Why is shopping online sometimes much cheaper than going to a brick and mortar store? Because they pay a lot less overhead and not only does it benefit them, it benefits you as well. At times, even with the shipping and handling included, you still come out saving money.

If you wear eyeglasses, you know well how much eyeglasses cost these days. The designer frame that you want could cost you hundreds of dollars. Adding to it the tinting, bifocal lense and you end up paying more. Why not visit zennioptical.com for savings? They are the companies we are speaking of. With own manufactured designer frames coming to you directly with no middlemen - you are sure to rack up savings. We saw a family one time with four kids all wearing eyeglasses - could you imagine the money that family could save if they go online and shop?

Save money where you can and build your nest egg faster.

ZenniOptical.com Sells Stylish Prescription Glasses Online. You will find huge selection of frames, with single vision lens, sunsensor (potochromic)lens, tinted suglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. The Secret to Zenni’s Low Prices

Our first trip - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

progobbler — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:29:51 +0000

This has become an annual tradition for a group of friends in the area. We pack our bags, we load our cars and we head out to the beach. Our favorite destination? Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. It’s a fun place to be. There really is no young and old, no black or white, no discriminating lines. The place is filled with people from all over the world and we have made it our destination every year on July 4th.

We will be bringing back pictures to share with all of you. Yes, this is an indication that we will be taking a break. We will be back on business as soon as we return. Hope everyone gets to enjoy their barbecues, burgers and sweet corn.

Happy Independence Day.

Advances in Medical Technology.

progobbler — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:40:37 +0000

I remember as a Medical Technology student back in the days. The University I attended was and still is well-known for it’s Medical Technology graduates and also running neck and neck with Nursing and Physicians against other high ranking Universities in the country yet, I remember our lab (where we spent most of our time) having the most out-of-date Lab Furniture ever. I think I may have found an inscription on one of the desks saying “Class of ‘69″ or something to that effect. Although it’s nostalgic, I think they should invest more on new lab furnitures for their students.

I don’t know how is it now but back then, we barely had new stools to use while doing our experiments. Since it is one of the best Universities for the field of Science, ergonomically correct furniture and equipment should replace those out-of-date ones. Leading universities who are attended by students from all over the world should really have the best and top-of-the line (although it doesn’t have to be the most expensive) furniture, accessories and services. It is what students have come to expect and it is just right to provide it. It isn’t only applicable to students in the medical field, it is also needed for engineering students, programmers, and other industrial courses.

Formaspace manufactures custom technical furniture, accessories, and services. It develops elegant, practical, flexible solutions for customers in laboratory, technical, drafting, material handling, and industrial environments. They offer technically-advanced, ergonomically correct furniture.

Fruits of our labor.

progobbler — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 23:23:48 +0000

Well folks! It has been a great first quarter so far. We’ve worked very hard and we are reaping the benefits of it. Opportunities are up, advertisers are continuously advertising with us and we are very glad about that. We have posted our income since February and we could say, “So far, so good!”.

We went shopping as a token and a reward of the hard work we’ve put in into blogging, eBay, and other streams of income we have. We purchased a brand new, Garmin Nuvi 750 Navigation system. Hey, it’s summer time. Even thought the gas prices are beyond obscene - we have several travel plans on the horizon.

We shall keep you posted.
