Five Websites to Improve Your Financial Wealth.

In 2002 when I got laid off from work I started looking at my financial life and found I was totally lacking a plan.  I did look at the career field I was most interested in and that was the culinary arts, and I went to school. That being said you can't just count on a career to improve your life.  You need to look at what can improve your finances and wealth, so I want to share five companies with you.

The first one is the company I has been utilizing since 2003, Sharebuilder the company is a stock trading company that is set up to help people new to investing in stocks.

The second one is Prosper  I have mentioned a few times in my blog because I really like this peer to peer lending company I have been with since 2006. I love lending money to those who need an unconventional loan. I average a 10% return on my investment.

The last three are relatively new to my wealth and financial future.

Betterment With Betterment you can start an investing simple as 1,2,3.

Our pursuit: to create the perfect investment management service. 

With a decade of experience in finance and a CFA, Betterment CEO Jon sought an investment service that would deliver the best possible results and save him time and money. A service to build wealth, yes, but more importantly give him the peace of mind and the time to pursue his career and enjoy other things in life.But every product he found was time-consuming and thoughtless. Whatever technical innovation he found seemed to benefit traders, but left his professional peers and sophisticated investors no better off than they were two decades ago. 

Jon saw an opportunity to make investment management better through the thoughtful application of technology, which could optimize any portfolio, whether $10,000 or $10 million. He assembled an expert team of engineers, quants, and designers, and together they re-imagined what an investing product should be: efficient, accessible, and delightful. 

At Betterment, we are creating a world where investing better is accessible to everyone. We have built a financial utility that provides the obvious, smart answer to "What should I do with my money?"

ScamAdviser.com Check out That Site!

Today I was looking for place that vet out scams via the internet and found a very promising site called ScamAdviser.com. With all the scams and phishing schemes out there I figured this could be a great site to start research on any online business companies or marketing companies. I tested two different companies I am familiar with and liked the results and agreed with. The first site is a company I subscribe to called PENNY PICK FINDERS (This is a sponsor I use also and I am pleased with) ScamAdviser.com gave the site a 90% and it's history review pic.

The next company I tried was tubecashcode.net now it's a new company and I can't say it's bad since I am recently testing it and running it through it's pace myself. So keep an open mind this company could be a good one. So this is what ScamAdviser.com came up with.

Hope this is helpful.

Over the last week, I have won 3 auctions. I spent $116 to buy TCredits. I used MRP to purchase a BlueRay DVD player for myself, and also purchased, at auction a BlueRay DVD player for a Christmas present, a Jurrasic Park blueray DVD set and 50 TCredits formyself, and a night vision camcorder for a Birthday gift. In all I spent less than $25 on the auctions and the shipping of the BlueRay player and still have 280 TCredits left. So, for about $80, I received well over $600 worth of merchandise. Thank you PriceBenders Ray

Fetch! Pet care

This company, Fetch!PetCare, provides a new level of service to pet owners who often require pet sitting or pet walking duties. This is a franchise company, listed in the 2008 Inc. 5000, that is within the financial capability of many home-based entrepreneurs; the opportunity is discussed later. The pet industry is number six among the fastest growing in the US, with sales forecast this year at $43.4 billion. The company uses a network of over 3,800 pet sitters. With these numbers they are able to offer on-demand emergency sitters almost anywhere they are needed to provide in-home services if customers want it. The pet business is thriving because, as the CEO of Fetch!PetCare says, "Pets don't know that we are in an economic downturn.” To be approved for a franchise, you must have a strong credit history and a minimum liquid financial net worth of $15,000. Additional required investment varies by what your business strategy is. A possible example is: Initial franchise fee: $12,000 Training, advertising, and equipment: $8,295 to $24,500 Total Investment: $20,295 to $36,500 This is an attractive and inexpensive franchise for these rough times. It requires a low investment, you have a lot of on-call help so you don’t kill yourself trying to take care of your customers, and there is lots of repeat business. In addition to sitting services, there is a store offering pet and people clothes and many other accessories and supplies—another way for you to make money from the same customer base for whom you provide other services. The company provides no financing, but they will help you find sources of money through a list of microloan lenders in your state; you can see this list here.
