When it Rains…It Pours

I am sure everyone has gone through this scenario at one point and when it happened to you and you said, “When it Rains is Pours”. Well ok it could have happened more than once, but anyhow, here is mine. I am trying to put some money together, and we always are, and of course my Truck wouldn’t start this morning. From the sound of it, I am crossing my fingers that it is only my Battery, because if it is anything else, I am in for it, because I do not have any money…well yes I do but that money is needed for something else, so you get into a dilemma, some people need to save for a certain bill, say property taxes others well maybe for a trip. So you end up trying to see if you use the money to fix the vehicle and then postpone the trip, or try and get the money for the next bill…property taxes. So you end up in a pickle…sort of speaking.

The thing is that we all have gone through this, as adults…well wait…even children…I guess. But doesn’t it stink…you end up having to juggle several things when it comes to money. And in these tough times, believe many families have little or no savings and some unfortunately will go towards their 401(K), which is a huge no-no, but many do. For me that would have to be a HUGE emergency to even think about borrowing against my 401(k)…credit cards would get used first. Anyhow, so like I said, “when it rains it pours” and why, do you ask yourself, does it happen when something you have been wanting to do for a LONG time…we’ll never know.

Some say it is the Universe talking…others call it bad luck…other still would say…its your fault…you knew it was coming …why did you not prepare ahead of time…well…we don’t because we are HUGE procrastinators and we like to put things off till the last minute or when something finally breaks…mmmmhhhh.

My Perspective:
Don’t put things off till the last minute. Complete the projects you have started. Save anything whether it is 5 dollars a month or 100 dollars a month…just save for the HECK of it…because you will never know when it rains…it could POUR. Till next time, Latino Man signing off.

New Real Estate Site – Cutting Costs

Well I had to build a new site for my Real Estate. I used the Go Daddy website tonight product they have and even though it has some great templates…you really can’t do much with the templates. I would recommend using a blank template and build the layout yourself…unless you don’t mind some of the characteristics that some of the template have; for example the one I used the page names are HUGE.

Anyhow, I had to do it, since it was getting costly having the site through Point2Agent. I am actually saving $8.15 per month which comes out to $97.80 per year, which I could use towards marketing…you know maybe some refrigerator calendar to give out, etc. anyhow, so I m in the process of learning how to use their build a site system and if I learn any tricks, I’ll be certain to post them in my blog. In the meantime it doesn’t look have bad and the most important thing besides first impressions is the person behind the site…so will see for now.

So for now I am working on a few projects, I still have the site you can see on my residual Income button, it is coming along. I also have affiliated myself with Amazon and as you can see I created a separate page on my blog for the Amazon store, it’s not bad, the shoppers basically get all the same products, prices and services just that the site looks a bit different. No increase to shoppers, I simply get a small percentage of any sales that are made through the site. Now, you can do a search and it will bring up all the same products you might do as if you were in Amazon itself, like I said it looks a bit different, but the concept, the products, prices and customer service is all the same. I do nothing accept drive customer to the site…I’ll keep you posted and see how that goes.

Its like investing, you can’t have all your apples in one basket, need to have a good portfolio to maximize or have a broader range of options, so think of my sites and business ideas as a broader range (portfolio) to obtain residual income. It takes time like a 401(K) plan, but build it now and you’ll be surprised in say 5-10 years…a little something-something is better than nothing.

Hey thanks again for reading and stopping by, as you are all aware summer has started and I hope everyone gets out there and enjoys the many things that are available…don’t need to spend money to have fun…there a lot of things that don’t cost anything you can do. Enjoy, stay safe and till next time Latino Man signing off.

I wanted to touch base on this topic. If you recall on of my posting I stated that my little girl was having issues going poop. We had attempted several products, both natural and prescribed by her doctor. They all seem to work for a short time but eventually stopped working.

I had posted about something we found across the border in Mexico, all natural. It was dissolved in her juice or water ad it had no flavor, color or taste. It worked fantastic, but eventually after the month was up and we had no more, it stopped working after several days of not giving it to her. We feel horrible, as sometime we watch her cry and attempt to push, but with no success. Her tears and her whimpering have made us fell useless.
Now we have been told to go back to her doctor and see if they can recommend something else, but as I mentioned before the medication we had given her seem to take away her appetite, or made her teeth yellow. We were sure, of course it is possible that other medications are available, but does that mean that our little girl will need to be on medication for the rest of her life.

We have been told that once she gets a little older, she will learn to push and eventually she will be ok, but until then what do we do? We are trying once again the powder medication we got form Mexico to see if that could once again help, it was all natural and it was working. Maybe doing this until she gets older will be a solution, instead of other more powerful medication. Once again, I wanted to share because I am sure I am not the only parent going through this. I went ahead and placed a picture of the stuff we are using. Like I said it can be bought across the border in Mexico…I do think you do need a prescription, but in Mexico going to a doctor is very easy and usually they will prescribe what you ask for or else they will prescribe something else, better or similar. Usually no appointments are required and there is usually a pharmacy nearby the doctor.

Once again thanks for reading and have a fantastic week. Latino Man signing off.
