Do the neighboring chatter of negativity get you down?

I don’t usually watch the news, maybe one or two newscasts a week, but no more. The local news is full of murder and mayhem, robberies, kidnappings, and other reports of negative events and personal disasters. National news is filled with the same thing only on a global scale. But I made an exception during the presidential campaign: I listened to radio shows in the car and watched the news on local and national television for a couple of months. I even started turning on the news in the morning and keeping it on all day to listen to the latest polls and find out what the latest attacks, statements and misstatements, and “interesting” reporting were. That was a mistake.

A couple of days after the election ended, it all hit me (or I could tell). I am generally a very optimistic and upbeat person, but I was feeling angry, depressed, and unable to do anything to help someone. Oh! What’s going on? It didn’t take much examination to realize that I had been receiving an overdose of negativity all day, every day for two months and it had taken its toll on me. During that time I couldn’t write – nothing would come. It was as if all the creativity in me had been sucked or dried, leaving me speechless to fit an article. My productivity had dropped and I had no motivation to get things done. I felt like I had been crushed by a steamroller that turned around and hit me again.

There was only one thing to do. I turned off the television and put an Andrea Bocelli CD in my car’s CD player to listen to while driving. It took me about three days to begin to recover from, as former Vice President Spiro Agnew called it, “neighborhood chatter of negativity.” (I love that phrase).

I don’t have to be uninformed just because I don’t watch the news on TV or listen to the radio. I can scan the headlines on the internet and decide what I want to read and what I want to leave alone. I have a son who keeps up with everything and brings up things I need to know. But I just don’t allow that constant negative intrusion into my mind and spirit to spiral me downward and make me useless.

The results of turning off the TV? I feel at peace again. I am sleeping at night. My meditation is not a rehash of all the negative things I’ve heard and seen throughout the day. My mind is clear once more and I have a positive mental attitude again. I’m even back in writing mode and my productivity is on the rise.

Phew! That was close!

And you? If it’s true that we become what we think about all day long, as motivational speakers iterate and reiterate, what are you becoming? Motivated, inspired, joyful and peaceful? Or sad, depressed, scared and overwhelmed? You may want to turn a few dials or flip a few switches to program your own mental computer with those things that are uplifting, motivating, enlightening, and joyful.

Hmm. What a concept!

Ten attitudes to control spending

My money mantra is simple: money management is lifestyle management. Money is inanimate; no one can handle it. Think about it. You use money to implement decisions; And you? You decide to buy a car, a house, a toy. You use the money only after your conscious or unconscious decision.

How do you choose to buy? Do you look at yourself, at your condition, and then select a path? Surely, it is your call; you choose when to spend, how you will spend, and how much to spend. Money is simply the medium, the bridge between you and the trader.

That is why you should focus on managing how you choose. So how do you view lifestyle alternatives? The keys are your ABC’s: your attitude, behavior and choices. Your attitude is your beliefs, your vision of the world. It drives your behavior and your choices.

It all starts with attitude. By understanding specific attitudes that lead to poor spending decisions and choosing to be aware of them before and as you spend, you will find that you control your behavior and manage your spending more effectively. In popular jargon, you will manage money well.

Here are ten attitudes that will help you develop the right approach to spending and guide you out of debt, especially consumer debt, and stay debt free.

1. Be responsible

Accepting that you need encouragement and periodic nudges to make sensible lifestyle choices is a healthy attitude. Ask a trusted same-sex friend to hold you accountable for good stewardship. Define the role precisely. That person simply needs to ask how you are. He or she does not have to know the details of your finances, unless you choose.

2. to be aware

Do you know your spending pattern? Do you know when or why you spend wisely, excessively, irrationally, impulsively? For three months, track your spending and record the process you go through before you spend and the emotions afterward. Be aware of areas where your spending seems out of control. Be aware of these vulnerable areas and develop strategies to overcome them; this will allow you to plug these leaks.

3. Be contrary

Don’t try to maintain your neighbor’s high standard of living. Probably, he financed his lifestyle with debt. Just when you catch up, she refinances! She accepts where you are and what you have, and grows from there. It’s okay to be contrary; Most of all, it’s less expensive than following the crowd!

4. Get creative

Use your creativity, your talents, to give gifts, especially to family members on birthdays, Christmas and other celebrations. Also, consider donating money you would normally spend on these gifts to charities or individuals or groups in need.

5. Be discerning

Learn to recognize and manage the conflicts of interest that exist when someone claims to be an advisor, but is a salesperson: insurance agent, mortgage broker, banker, non-independent financial advisor. Only you should benefit from the advice received from a consultant.

Always read the fine print. I once read that the big print gives, but the small print takes away!

6. Be determined

I love the determination of Daniel that we see in the Old Testament book of Daniel 1:8-9. When asked to eat and drink at the king’s table, Daniel resolved not to defile himself; God showed him favor, and Daniel did not eat that food. Similarly, each of us must determine if he will lead a debt-free life and allow God to work in and through us.

7. Be faithful

Debt causes great emotional trauma at home. Don’t put your home at risk by going into debt. Understand the effects of debt on your family and be true to your family’s trust in you to be a good steward.

8. Be patient

Don’t spend impulsively. When the urge comes, seek God’s direction. Please wait up to a week and answer this question: Is this a fleeting wish or a longer term need?

Save to buy all items. For a house, save a deposit that gives you an affordable mortgage.

9. Be grateful

Set your expenses below today’s income for a specific period. Ask God to show you how to give to his Kingdom any excess income you earn during that time.

10. Be thrifty

Always shop with a list; comparison store Use coupons, but don’t let them decide your spending. When possible, shop the sales, but again, don’t let the sales drive your spending.

Decide never to buy when pressured by sellers. Stay away, if you stay you will spend more than necessary. Remember, you don’t save on a sale; you spend less than the list price.

Conclusion

Use these attitudes consistently for 30 days, and you’ll notice a major change in how you spend, why you spend, when you spend, and how much you spend. Plus, you’ll be convinced that sticking with them is the way to control your spending!

Things to know before going to Barbados

Before you go to Barbados, here are some useful facts and things to know so when you arrive on the island you know what to expect.

Barbados has one airport: Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI). The airport is in the south of the island and is 16 km from Bridgetown, the capital. There is only one terminal at the airport. The airport has no airways, so passengers must exit the plane via a flight of stairs and walk to the arrivals hall.

Barbados has a strict rule that prohibits any form of army camouflage clothing, including hats, scarves, shorts, T-shirts, backpacks, etc. The Authorities will ask anyone using such items in the country (including children) to remove them.

LANDING CARD

On board the flight you will be given an Immigration/Customs form to complete. The forms must be completed before entering the Arrivals Hall. Visitors must provide the address where they will be staying while in Barbados. On the back of the Landing Card there is a blue Customs Form that must be completed and given to the Customs Officer once he has collected your baggage.

MEET AND GREET AT THE AIRPORT

Take the hassle out of your arrival experience by arranging a personal Meet and Greet service. This service includes being personally escorted through Immigration, immediate assistance with baggage retrieval, and continuing through Customs to a waiting air-conditioned taxi.

RED CAPS

After you have cleared Immigration, you will see numerous “red caps”. These men and women are available to help you with your bags and escort you through Customs to the outside. It is customary to tip Red Caps Bds$2 (US$1) per bag, however, for extra luggage or exceptional service, an extra tip will not be refused.

TAX FREE ARRIVAL SHOPPING

There is a duty-free liquor and wine store next to baggage claim where prices can be up to 70% less than retail purchases on the island. Especially good bargains are found on vodka, gin, and whiskey. There are no savings on our local rum. Each person is allowed 1 liter, but connoisseurs know they can buy more than the 1 liter limit.

TRANSPORT

Unless you have made prior arrangements for a private taxi, on leaving the Arrivals Hall there is a counter immediately to the left where a taxi dispatcher will direct you to the next available taxi. There are signs with published fares for all the major destinations on the island, but be aware that most, if not all, drivers will charge an additional fee depending on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage. We suggest you agree on a price before leaving the airport.

CAR RENTAL

There are numerous car rental companies on the island, but only a few meet international standards. Courtesy of Rent-a-Car, one of the oldest and best-known car rental companies in Barbados, and Drive-a-Matic have kiosks immediately to the left after exiting the Arrivals Hall. With a prior reservation, other companies will usually greet you with a hand sign outside the Arrivals Hall.

DRINKING WATER

Barbados’ water is naturally filtered through limestone and coral and is therefore safe to drink. Some say that Barbados water is fit for a queen, as Queen Elizabeth herself declared that Barbados water is delicious.

TAX FREE SHOPPING

If you’re shopping at any of the many shops on the island, be sure to take your passport and immigration card with you, as you’ll need to present these documents to purchase certain duty-free items. Alcohol and tobacco purchases cannot be taken with you, but will be waiting for you at the Chamber of Commerce counter after you pass security in the Departures Hall.

MOVE

We drive on the left side of the road, which means the steering wheel is located on the right side of the vehicle. For those of you who drive on the “other side of the road”, be careful and be careful and look both ways before crossing the road. Easy tip: the steering wheel should always be in the middle of the road, never to the side!

Bajans like their car horns. Horns are rarely blown in anger in Barbados, but more as a friendly greeting, a “please go ahead” and a thank you. A flashing of the lights is a “please proceed before me” indication.

Navigating our extensive road system can be quite a challenge. You can download a free SatNav map to your Garmin and some car rental companies offer SatNav with the car rental. Bus stop signs are useful for knowing which way you are going. They are marked “Into Town” or “Out of Town.” This is useful if you want to go in either of those directions, but traversing the country can be a bit trickier.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Our public transport system is quite good, however, there is no particular schedule. The blue buses are owned by the Government; the yellow minibuses and small white ZR vans are privately owned. Unfortunately, there is sporadic enforcement of the sometimes unsafe driving practices exhibited by public transportation vehicles. Use these vehicles at your own risk. Bus fares are Bds$2/US$1 to anywhere on the island. Just raise your hand to point to a bus.

LOCAL DRIVING LICENSE

If you rent a vehicle, the car rental company will issue you a driving license valid for 3 months. The cost is Bds$10 / US$5. Alternatively, if you are borrowing a car from a family member or friend, you can get your local driving license at any police station. They only accept Barbados dollars. Remember to bring your own driving license.

BABY EQUIPMENT RENTAL

Car seats, strollers, cots, cribs, even toys, can all be easily rented if you want to leave those bulky items at home to facilitate a hassle-free trip to Barbados.

SPENDING MONEY

US dollars are easily accepted throughout the island at a conversion rate of $2.00 Bds equivalent to $1.00 US. Any other currency can be converted to Barbados Dollars at any of the island’s banks or at the Baggage Claim bank at the airport. On departure, the Barbados National Bank kiosk located in the Departures Hall can exchange your remaining Barbados dollars for your local currency. All major credit cards are accepted in Barbados, although American Express is not widely accepted.

TIPS

It is not customary to tip taxi drivers, although a tip will not be refused. The average tip at a restaurant is 10%, but check that a service charge or gratuity has not been included in the restaurant bill. In the supermarket it is customary to give a couple of dollars to those who pack your grocery bags and then take them to your car. In the private villas, the staff appreciate a tip at the end of your holiday and this amount is discretionary, depending on the level of service you have received. Check with your villa manager or reservation agent for guidelines. Hotels typically automatically add a 10% service charge to your room and food and beverage bill.

Construction Backlog in Guam Aids Real Estate

Guam’s total real estate market is projected to reach $300 million. Total sales were down last year, but with the construction buildup, the market will grow dramatically. In 2009, single-family homes cost around $200,000.

However, there are certain restrictions on foreign ownership. The people of Guam are United States citizens and Guam is a United States territory. Non-residents who have not applied for a green card can only buy a condo or house in their name and it must be owner-occupied.

The construction buildup is an agreement between Japan and the US to relocate some 8,000 US Marines and their dependents from Okinawa to Guam. This will create tremendous infrastructure and construction opportunities in Guam as the population is expected to grow by 20%. This will mean that more housing will be needed, as well as other structures, such as hospitals, roads, bridges, shopping malls, and other places. Some of the ways in which the real estate market is affected by the military presence are:

1. There are military personnel who live off base
2. Some military dependents have to live off base or want to
3. More housing is needed for construction workers
4. More housing will be needed for civilian workers
5. Construction and military reinforcement will give greater economic prospects to the island

Guam has a large rental market, with about half of the homes being renter-occupied. Guam is not subject to seasonal restrictions like other tourist destinations, so the number of available rentals is available throughout the year. Most of the rental places are located in the north of Guam and the central area.
Part of the construction backlog that will occur in Guam is:

1. More homes
2. Barracks for workers
3. More hospitals
4. Largest Wastewater Treatment Plant
5. New bridges and roads
6. More schools and places for education

Those who work in construction will have great opportunities available to them. Most construction work will not require security clearance and most can be done by civilians. Guam’s entire infrastructure will need to be rebuilt and further expansions will take place at naval bases, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Army facilities. Those involved in commercial construction, distribution companies, manufacturing, or construction workers will have easy prey as the buildup progresses.

Some of the jobs available in Guam are:
1. Engineers
2.Safety people
3. Secretarial, administrative and office staff
4. Heavy Construction Equipment Operators and Crane Operators
5. Doctors like nurses and doctors.
6. Compliance, Health and Safety Personnel
7. Communication and IT specialists

People involved in buying and selling real estate can benefit from construction.

Bryce Canyon Tours Available from Las Vegas

Every year thousands of people begin the process of planning trips to the great national parks of the southwestern United States, and every year thousands of people abandon those plans as the reality of the situation sets in. Basically, flying from home to the area surrounding most of the national parks is more difficult than you might think, and flying to the nearest major airports leaves you with hours of driving before reaching the park. For this reason, many will never experience the beauty of many parks like Bryce.

Bryce Canyon National Park is located in Utah, and is approximately a 4-hour drive from Las Vegas and Salt Lake City, which are the closest major airports. While there are other airports that are closer, most of them are small and cannot handle traffic from major airlines or large planes. This severely limits the number of flights available and significantly increases flight prices. On top of this, once you’re ashore in most of these small towns, there are limited options for hotels and restaurants, let alone in the way of entertainment. This is why most visitors to Bryce Canyon choose to leave Las Vegas and plan their trip as part of a larger vacation. Las Vegas is specifically set up to cater to tourists and has much more in terms of hotels and entertainment than other cities. Most non-locals to the Southwest will choose to fly into Las Vegas and stay for a few days before embarking on their trip to Bryce.

There are several professional tour companies that offer Bryce Canyon tours that depart from Las Vegas. These companies are usually very accommodating and will go as far as picking you up from a major hotel and dropping you off at the same location. Tours are usually timed to include various other parks like Zion or the Grand Canyon, to maximize the experience and minimize driving time. The four hour drive to the area makes more sense to travel an hour or so to get to another park than just driving back to the original location. This will also give those looking for a completely unique experience the ability to camp in the park. Letting a professional tour company take care of the details of your Bryce tour is the way to go.

Summer holidays in Montenegro

Montenegro literally translates to Black Mountain and is located along the Adriatic Sea just like Croatia. Located in southeastern Europe, Montenegro is a hidden gem that is often overlooked or overshadowed by Croatia and larger nations as a vacation spot. However, I think it works in one’s favor as there are no floods of people visiting there on a daily basis. This gives you easier access to everything Montenegro has to offer, and believe me, there is a lot.

Montenegro is often overlooked as I mentioned before, however some of the structures and views here are just as amazing as those in Greece. With a stunning coastline and beautiful cliffs, it’s actually quite reminiscent of Greece – it’s in the Mediterranean, after all. There are plenty of cities to see and plenty to do here, so let’s start by looking at the different cities and sights you simply can’t miss. Click the link for booking ideas!

Discover Kotor

Kotor is a small city located on the Adriatic coast. It is technically located in a bay situated near the limestone cliffs of Mount Lov�en. It has many winding lanes and a plethora of squares with quaint little shops and out-of-this-world restaurants. Perhaps the best thing about this city is that it stays true to its original medieval roots, at least in the architecture, construction, and style of the city.

If you are in Kotor, Montenegro, there are a number of attractions that you should be sure to note on your itinerary. One of the first things you should do is visit Lov�en. This great mountain is not just a picturesque wonderland, but a possible adventure depending on what you like. For example, you could climb mountains, go hiking, and visit a historic mausoleum.

Discover Podgorica

If you were wondering what the capital of Montenegro was, you have officially found it. Podgorica is the official capital of Montenegro. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but just like the rest of the Mediterranean, there is a lot of incredible architecture to see here that is absolutely jaw-dropping. You will not only experience exceptional history, culture and architecture, but you will also be able to visit the endless beaches of Podgorica. This is the perfect place for a summer vacation.

Take your time in this city and be sure to see all it has to offer. Although this is the capital city of Montenegro, it is often overlooked and not visited, as I mentioned above. However, it definitely features many different sites to visit for a breathtaking view and history lesson. Visit Skadar Lake, a huge lake with islands and beautiful native animals. Visit the historical monastery and pilgrimage site called Ostrog Monastery. The Tara River canyon is also worth a visit. Especially if you like water. Enjoy rafting, tubing, kayaking and the amazing canyon.

Discover Montenegro

While Montenegro is a lesser known country, it is worth a lot more when it comes to attention. Not only do they have their fair share of history, culture, and beauty, but they have a lot to offer tourists. Whether you want to soak up the sun on the beach or shop around for a nice meal, Montenegro is a trendy place to visit. To learn more about Montenegro, visit Tripedia.

Discount holidays in Barbados

The words Barbados and discount wouldn’t normally appear in the same sentence, however if you’re not incredibly wealthy or just don’t fancy spending several thousand per person on your next vacation, Barbados may still be within reach and at a discount.

Your first consideration will be when to go…obviously high season should be avoided. If you really want to save money, you’ll also want to try to find a deal on your flight to Barbados. Your savings here will probably be more significant the more you travel (sounds obvious). Someone flying from Europe may have more to gain than someone flying from Florida.

Going in the off-season will get your vacation discounted overall, but your biggest individual savings will likely depend on which hotel you choose. Staying at a cheaper hotel doesn’t mean you have to have a hard time, you can still eat and drink at the island’s fanciest restaurants (perhaps more with the money you saved) and many of the luxury resort facilities will still be open. to you

hello south coast

Say goodbye to the expensive west coast and head south. If you do your homework, you’ll find a small selection of four-star hotels that can be booked on a bed and breakfast basis. Look for something with a small kitchen (more money to save) so you don’t have to eat out for every meal.

Let’s face it, “budget” hotels can be pretty hit or miss, you might want to book at a couple of different hotels, at least that way you can hedge your bets. Also take a look around the internet and see if you can find independent reviews of hotels you may be considering. You can also get some ideas for places to stay at kuoni.co.uk, but don’t take the brochures at their word, follow up with some research. The Bougainvillea Beach Resort is worth considering.

So, to summarize on how to achieve a discount holiday in Barbados:

– Avoid high season

– Set an offer on your Barbados flight

– Save most of the change at your hotel

– Prepare food/picnics in your kitchen

– Try restaurants for $15 per head instead of $50

If you’re diligent with your research and keep an eye out for deals, you should be able to cut the cost of your Barbados vacation in half. And if the hotel doesn’t work, you can always spend the money you saved somewhere else stunning. Have fun!
