Millionaire Mentality: 7 Secrets Of Self-Made Millionaires

Wanna be a baller??? While you may think a million dollars will give you financial security, it will not. Given the volatility in economies, governments and financial markets around the world, it’s no longer safe to assume a million dollars will provide you and your family with true security. In fact, a Fidelity Investments’ study of millionaires last year found that 42 percent of them don’t feel wealthy and they would need $7.5 million of investable assets to start feeling rich. This isn’t a how-to on the accumulation of wealth from a lifetime of saving and pinching pennies. This is about generating multimillion-dollar wealth and enjoying it during the creation process. To get started, consider these seven secrets of multimillionaires. Click to find out!!!

Kush Chronic-les: British Billionaire Richard Branson Attends White House Dinner And Asks Obama To “Light One Up”

Richard Branson don’t give no fawks! The White House held its fancy state dinner this week, inviting lots of big-wig donors, and dignitaries to dine with the first family and Prime Minister David Cameron. Naturally, billionaire head of Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson, was there too. But what did the brash billionaire do when he got a few seconds of facetime with Obama? He asked him if he could have some “tweed”. At least that is what he told those gathered at the offices of The Atlantic magazine. Patrick Gavin at Politico has the report: “I asked him if I could have a spliff,” businessman and Virgin Group honcho Richard Branson told a crowd gathered at The Atlantic’s Washington offices Thursday, the day after attending the dinner for British Prime Minister David Cameron. “But they didn’t have any,” Branson continued, according to a video of the event as he recalled his effort to procure some drugs the night before at the White House. Can’t even hate on him! We’re sure Obama gave him the wink and kept the party going. Source More On Bossip! Underrated Cakes: The Ladies With The Backs You Might’ve Mistakenly Missed Out On!

Raise My Taxes, Mr. President!

We can’t afford the Bush cuts anymore. For the last few months, we have heard powerful, passionate arguments about the need to cut America’s massive budget deficit. Republican senators have claimed that we are in danger of permanently crippling the economy. Conservative economists and pundits warn of a Greece-like crisis, when America can borrow only at exorbitant interest rates. So when an opportunity presents itself to cut those deficits by about a third—more than $300 billion!—permanently and relatively easily, you would think that these very people would be in the lead. Far from it. The Bush tax cuts remain the single largest cause of America’s structural deficit—that is, the deficit not caused by the collapse in tax revenues when the economy goes into recession. The Bush administration inherited budget surpluses from the Clinton administration. What turned these into deficits, even before the recession? There were three fundamental new costs—the tax cuts, the prescription-drug bill, and post-9/11 security spending (including the Iraq and Afghanistan wars). Of these the tax cuts were by far the largest, adding up to $2.3 trillion over 10 years. According to the Congressional Budget Office, nearly half the cost of all legislation enacted from 2001 to 2007 can be attributed to the tax cuts. Those cuts are set to expire this year. The Republicans say they want to keep them all, even for those making more than $250,000 a year (less than 3 percent of Americans). They say that higher taxes will hurt the recovery. But for months now they have been arguing that the chief threat to the economy is our gargantuan debt and deficit. That’s what’s scaring consumers, creditors, and businesses. Given a chance to address those fears by getting serious about deficit reduction, though, they run away. Look by contrast at British Prime Minister David Cameron, a genuine fiscal conservative. To deal with his country’s deficit, which in structural terms is not so different from America’s, he concluded that he would have to raise taxes as well as cut spending. added by: TimALoftis

Newest And Youngest British Prime Minister David Cameron Speech

The Newest and youngest British Prime Minister David Cameron in nearly 200 years. Here’s the full text of his speech: ”Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to form a new government and I have accepted. ”Before I talk about that new government, let me say something about the one that has just passed. ”Compared with a decade ago, this country is more open at home and more compassionate abroad and that is something we should all be grateful for and on behalf of the whole country I’d like to pay tribute to the outgoing prime minister for his long record of dedicated public service. ”In terms of the future, our country has a hung parliament where no party has an overall majority and we have some deep and pressing problems – a huge deficit, deep social problems, a political system in need of reform. ”For those reasons I aim to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. ”I believe that is the right way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, the good and decent government that I think we need so badly. ”Nick Clegg and I are both political leaders that want to put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest. ”I believe that is the best way to get the strong government that we need, decisive government that we need today. ”I came into politics because I love this country. I think its best days still lie ahead and I believe deeply in public service. ”And I think the service our country needs right now is to face up to our really big challenges, to confront our problems, to take difficult decisions, to lead people through those difficult decisions, so that together we can reach better times ahead. ”One of the tasks that we clearly have is to rebuild trust in our political system. Yes that’s about cleaning up expenses, yes that is about reforming parliament, and yes it is about making sure people are in control – and that the politicians are always their servant and never their masters. ”But I believe it is also something else. It is about being honest about what government can achieve. Real change is not what government can do on its own – real change is when everyone pulls together, comes together, works together, where we all exercise our responsibilities to ourselves, to our families, to our communities and to others. “And I want to help try and build a more responsible society here in Britain. One where we don’t just ask what are my entitlements, but what are my responsibilities. “One where we don’t ask what am I just owed, but more what can I give. “And a guide for that society – that those that can should, and those who can’t we will always help. “I want to make sure that my government always looks after the elderly, the frail the poorest in our country. “We must take everyone through with us on some of the difficult decisions we have ahead. “Above all it will be a government that is built on some clear values. Values of freedom, values of fairness, and values of responsibility. “I want us to build an economy that rewards work. I want us to build a society with stronger families and stronger communities. And I want a political system that people can trust and look up to once again. “This is going to be hard and difficult work. A coalition will throw up all sorts of challenges. “But I believe together we can provide that strong and stable government that our country needs based on those values – rebuilding family, rebuilding community, above all, rebuilding responsibility in our country. “Those are the things I care about. Those are the things that this government will now start work on doing. “Thank you very much.” Newest And Youngest British Prime Minister David Cameron Speech is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading
