Curated Summer Links For Summer 2015 Part One

Please know that I’m thankful for what I already have. Additionally, I confess that there are famous people that I read up on that work in the government sectors and/or Hollywood. However, I also tend to take note if there are profiles of people that appear to live exciting lives that work in the private sectors and/or live/work outside of Hollywood and/or California. I’m sharing this link because the article via Business Insider of 15 People Who Are Living The Dream by Harrison Jacobs and Corey Adwar seems to fit the bill.

To whom and/or all it may concern
Please understand that my suggestion was only well intentioned when I politely suggested that it would be more informative if the couple's monthly after tax income and their jobs were included. Both my husband and I very much understand about cutting back on my expenses and increasing income, and we are in the process of doing both even with relying on public transportation(especially increasing our income as I do know what I want to do with my life career wise and I trust that he does as well). It is just that my suggestion comes from the experience of a married woman who is fortunate to have made at least three thousand dollars after taxes with my husband combined a month after taxes less than four to five years ago, and is in the process of working back up to at least be at that financial level. I'm thankful for the minimum wage job that I have now and my lovely husband's financial help , but it would be nice to at least be aware of the monthly after-tax income that the couple brings in (if they wish to avoid disclosing their careers) so that other people that I know who feel the same as I do at least have a rough ballpark amount to know what is necessary. I wanted to know what jobs they did partially because there are some high paying jobs that are available for even those without bachelor's degrees from prestigious schools but these jobs require a car (such two jobs that I was close to getting, but did not have a car to do so due to the fact that I had voluntarily sold my car back in 2008 and mistakenly underestimated how important it was in getting certain jobs).

This article is well-meaning and at least informative as to the amount that the couple is paying off. However, the important information that is being left out is what careers are they holding down that enable them to pay off such a large debt in a short amount of time (due to the fact that sometimes the paths towards financial freedom are like night and day for private and government sector workers depending on their income). It would also be extremely helpful if the article included an update on the name of the careers that the Brandows are working in that enabled them to improve their financial net work and details on how much money they made after taxes each month. In this way, many readers coming across this article will at least have career references to keep in mind when looking to bring in the after tax salary needed to obtain financial freedom (i.e. a couple making over $50,000 after taxes is admirable but is obviously going to have a different experience than a couple making less than $35,000 combined after taxes). Additionally, at least providing information on how much the Brandows bring in each month after taxes will at least help others be more informed as to what they can do to bring themselves to be more marketable up to the income that the Brandows are bringing in.

The real-life secrets of millionaires



By Kimberly PalmerJune 10, 2015 9:00 AM of U.S. News and World Report

I sometimes use meditation, reading books, and/or listening to classic music to help me relax (I have to thank my free local newspaper for listing the classical radio station 90.9). However, it was great to have my ideas for he have, but I admit that I miss making the amount of money that I made in the military and I understand that I'm going to have to find ways to bring my value up to at least my military era income in order to be able to save more money and help both my husband and I to be able to successfully repay our student loans towards financial freedom, and this is one of the things that sometimes affects my sleep until I read, meditate, or listen to relaxing music, which fortunately helps me eventually go to sleep

Sigh, I could have thought of this before I left active duty navy back in 2009 (what is in the following article). However, I understand that there is no point in crying over spilt milk and to instead assess about what i can do to make at least the same amount of money that I made or more when I voluntarily left the navy back in 2009 and was honorably discharged May 24, 2009. However my experience, increased wisdom, and what I learned is at least put to good use because I now know what main career and backup jobs that i would like to pursue (with increased clarity)for the rest of my current life (though I now prefer to keep it secret until after it happens).

I still find beautiful people interesting to look at, just as with other people, but i'm beginning to care more about increasing my wisdom and emotional intelligence since i have more control over these areas (especially due to the fact that beauty and attractiveness are subjective anyhow)

I already understand about the emergency fund, and understand that I must find ways to increase my income, however i saved this article to have an intuitive take on Meldoy Hobbson's advice on savings. However, I do appreciate her honesty and understanding in acknowledging that some people are able to naturally save more than others. For me, I intend to at least get back to making at least 2 grand a month after taxes in order to save more money
