Money Messages Ezine from OwnYourMoney.com
From Belinda Fuchs, CPA Edition: II-2010
Greetings!
 
BF skating 1Have you been inspired watching the Olympics like me?

What an adventure! Just watching has been so motivating that I risked completely embarrassing myself by attempting to ice skate on the frog pond in Boston last weekend. (Can you tell I'm holding on for dear life in the picture at right?)

In each Olympic athlete's eyes, you can see passion, spirit, drive, and commitment to literally GO FOR THE GOLD. They have put their entire life at stake for that one moment-- that one chance to show the world what they are made of.

Some of the performances literally took my breath away and brought me to tears-- to see the energy of Evan Lysacek, the relieved gratitude of Hannah Kearney, and the pure joy, fun, and mastery of Shaun White.

Imagine if you had that much excitement about...anything! What would light you up enough to risk the time, energy and money and go for your dreams? Are you settling instead of reaching for and achieving your financial dreams?
 
I hope this note inspires you to dig deep and then create and commit to one dream worth fighting for in your own life. A dream...Worth making sacrifices for. Worth saving for. Worth getting uncomfortable and talking about. One goal you absolutely want to make happen.

When you are done reading this ezine, email me at Info@OwnYourMoney.com and let me know what it is and then take one step today to go and do it.
 
Now is your time to go for the "GOLD"!

FeatureFeature Article -  What the New Credit CARD Act Means to You
By Belinda Fuchs, President, OwnYourMoney.com
creditcards
  • Wondering why you are getting so many letters from your credit card companies in the mail recently?
  • Have you noticed any changes to your billing statements?
  • Concerned about what the current credit CARD law
    is all about?
There is a very good reason-because your credit card companies now have increased obligations (literally) to communicate with you.
 
President Obama signed the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure (or Credit CARD) Act of 2009 into law on May 22, 2009. Most of the provisions went into effect on February 22, 2010, unless otherwise stated, and are meant to improve disclosures to consumers and end egregious practices in the credit card industry.
 
Issuers won't be able to raise interest rates on existing balances as long as you pay on time and they will need to provide at least 45-day advance notice of fee changes and interest rate increases.  Just these two changes alone will save consumers an estimated $10 billion annually, according to the nonprofit research firm Pew in a recent report.

Here are the highlights for you...READ MORE

Dave and Kay share the thrill of progress from coaching with Belinda in a new VIDEO!

Watch the video to discover how this successful double-income couple transformed their financial lives....

Personally from "funds all over the place", "too high debt" and "always late on tax prep" to one "paid off car loan, paid off credit debt", and they are even ahead of the game with their 2009 taxes.

In Dave's business, he went from a "totally disorganized and stressful 1-man show" to freeing himself up to make more money with a small effective business support team and systems in place.

The true test...How do they feel? You can see the relief in their faces and the excitement in their voices about their "HUGE amount of progress" and "now talking about money isn't so hard!"

AROUND TOWN

The FOX News Morning Show picked up the RI Monthly cover story "Got Money?" where Belinda was a featured expert. FOX hosted Belinda and the magazine Associate Editor Nicole Maranhas for a quick clip filled with tips to help people to take control of their money. Pictured below left are Belinda, Nicole and the anchor Lily Hopkins- click on the picture to watch the TV clip too!

WE LOVE IT when financial advisors take great care of their clients. Barbara Cantwell of Edward Jones Investments in Northboro, MA (pictured at right) hosted Belinda for two events this month for her clients and their guests. Some women came to both events and already raved about how they are taking action on the strategies I suggested and already making progress from also listening to the CDs they purchased. Everybody wins, as Barbara's clients keep more of their money, feel better and will have more to invest...win-win-win!
