Today I was informed that I am the beneficiary of a generous $100,000 inheritance from my wealthy and kind Uncle Fred. In order to receive this large sum of money, I first must prove that I will be responsible with the money that I receive from my Uncle Fred by presenting him with this detailed report on how I plan to manage these funds that he had worked so hard to earn. Fortunately, I am allowed to spend $25,000 of the $100,000 right away on whatever personal needs that I may have, however, I must invest the remaining $75,000 on different investments so that later on in life, I will be able to live comfortably and enjoy myself by making good investment choices. There are several different ways that I can diversify the $75,000 on various investments but I have found three particular investment areas that I feel confident with. The three areas of investment that I have chosen to invest the $75,000 in are real estate, precious metals, and buying stocks. Before I get into why I have chosen to invest in those three things, I first want to explain what I am going to be spending my initial $25,000 on. I have decided to spend the first 25,000 on a house because "experts say low home prices combined with low interest rates make this the best time in years to become a real-estate investor." ("Now Is A Great Time To Invest In A Rental") In this market there are a lot of cheap properties available as well as foreclosed homes so I was able to find one that had been foreclosed on for only $20,000. The remaining $5,000 was spent on getting the place fixed up nice into live-able conditions. Another benefit of purchasing the house was that because I am single, I have offered one of the three bedrooms in the house up for rent which will bring an extra $500 a month in for me at the price of $125 a week. With that being said, I have chosen to actually invest in real estate as well and so instead of just purchasing

    In order for a consumer to decide whether or not now is the time to purchase a new home, there are 10 basic principles of economics that we can follow. By learning and realizing these principles, you will have the ability to make one of the largest investments that a consumer could make in a lifetime. Even though all of these principles relate to the decision of purchasing a new home, there are some that have a direct impact and influence on an investment this large. The first principle that should be considered is that people face trade-offs. In order for someone to get something they want they usually have to give up something else. If purchasing a new home seems to be the decision that is best for the consumer, they may have to give up things such as family vacations and excessive spending on clothing or food. All factors of a trade-off could be considered by looking at the pros and cons of each situation. For instance, does more space, private living or the benefit of paying on something you will eventually own justify the cost of added utilities and maintenance of a home. There are other considerations to be taken as well, such as property and house taxes that would not be present in a rental agreement. This is…

    Bob is a very enthusiastic person and he wants to make the maximum out of the investments. He is willing to put all of this money in equity market. However, he is aware that concentrating the investments in one particular stock increases the risk and he understands the importance of diversification. After talking to JFS consultants, he is convinced that it would be a good idea to diversify his securities and equities investments in three categories: lump-sum stocks, government bonds and high growth mutual funds. But, he is not sure of how much money he should invest in each category. He gave the guidelines that at least 10% of the total money should be invested in each of those options and the investment in any of the above category should not exceed 40% of the total investment. He also mentioned that investment in mutual funds should be at least twice the amount invested in stocks.…

    1. Updike arranges details artfully in order to set the story in a perfectly ordinary supermarket. His description of the appearance of the supermarket itself offers a vivid image. Updike talks about a girl in a bathing suit “in the cool of the A & P, under the fluorescent lights, against all those stacked packages, with her feet padding along naked over our checkerboard green-and-cream rubber-tile floor” (14). This offers the perfect description of a modern supermarket. The way in which Updike describes the three girls walking down the aisles adds to the supermarket image. Updike explains, “The fat one with the tan sort of fumbled with the cookies, but on second thought she put the packages back. The sheep pushing their carts down the aisle” (14). The author adds to the illustration with a description of this consumer, whose approach and actions reflect those of any supermarket customer.…

    Buying a house is a better long-term investment into the future than renting an apartment. Being mortgage free eventually and having no obligations to pay. “Anyone trapped in a long lease would be wise to consider purchasing property (Cabinet Maker, 1998)”. When buying a home it comes with the property it surrounds. After time having a home the property value increases over time. Also improving a home and fixing things around the house will too make the property value increase. “Even with a home, a person does not have to pay the capital gains tax when the value of the house goes up (Carla Bouchard, 2007)”. With having a house it shows a sense of stability and security. Having pride in buying a home and also accomplishing a great long-term investment. Also with having stability it is easier to apply for loans. The bank or cash place finds stability and will know that the person getting the loan will pay the loan back. Seeing also that having collateral to be safe on. The bank also will make sure the other payments are on time since the owner has bought the house.…

    The other factor that makes emotional abuse so devastating is the greater likelihood that victims will blame themselves. If someone hits you, it's easier to see that he or she is the problem, but if the abuse is subtle - saying or implying that you're ugly, a bad parent, stupid, incompetent, not worth attention, or that no one could love you - you are more likely to think it's your problem. Emotional abuse seems more personal than physical abuse, more about you as a person, more about your spirit. It makes love…

    Love Is Blind

    Do you remember your first kiss? Did you keep your eyes open or closed? I bet you closed your eyes. Isn’t this the essence of “love is blind?” You kiss them without fear, and without any sense of danger. You do not have to see the one you love to know you love them. You accept love on blind faith. Love is blind and for a moment we use this phrase to justify the obvious flaws we do not recognize in the people. Lovers are oblivious to the truth and therefore unable to be clear-sighted. My perspective is that we are blinded by love and we act carelessly without assessing any of our actions, thus we have regret for any mistakes later on.…

    Imagine being in love with someone so deeply that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person, and ask for his or her hand in marriage. But you aren’t able to because you and your lover are of same sex, and live in a state like Texas where gay marriage is prohibited. There is a loophole though, you do have the option of traveling one thousand miles to the closest state that allows you to wed. Initially, some people may think that’s okay, it’s just another adventure in your life right? But, think about how that must feel. Having to move and say goodbye to friends, family, probably a job and a house. Giving up everything you’ve established, and then starting all over, simply because you want to marry the person you love.…
