Money Worry and Mental Health Crisis of Living in Debt
Are you one of the many people living with money worry or even, do you live with the constant thought of how you can rid of debt concerns? If so, you could be amongst the many that are falling into a mental health crisis of major proportions.
The stress of every day living with the fear of what the post is going to bring and what telephone calls you want to ignore, is a tremendous burden to carry when you are in debt.
Normally a person with major money worry issues cannot eat properly because of the ongoing fears that being in debt brings. This eventually affects their brain, due to the fact of their lacking in the necessary vitamins and minerals needed to function properly. Sadly, after a period of time of this neglect, their mind becomes completely distorted and they tell themselves that life is just not worth living any more. The thought of suicide suddenly becomes an answer to their problems.
Another health issue of living with the constant fear of being in debt is the effect that it has on the rest of the family.
There is a strong likelihood that your relationships within the family will probably have disintegrated into an area verging on complete breakdown, which in turn will have given the other party an equal amount of stress, resulting in yet more health problems.
Cancers, suicides, marriage breakdown, health problems and constantly living in despair are all the caused of debt.
One of the first things a person should do if they reach a point of contemplating suicide, is to get medical advice urgently. Discussing your problems with a close friend or family member and enlisting their help to support you when going to the doctor would also be something you should consider.
Finally, you should get someone to help you to set up a strategy of how to get out of debt and treat this situation as a project, a project or challenge that you want to win.
With self help and the correct professional advice, you would be able to get rid of your debt problems and all the affects it has on your life within a set timeframe. Eventually you will look back, when you are no longer in debt and be proud of how you took control and stopped yourself becoming just another person who made up the numbers that brought about a mental health crisis - all because of debt problems.

My Visit to Wall Street - Manhattan
After the hectic time of releasing my eBook on 'How To Turn Your Debt Into A Fantastic New Life', I flew to America. Manhattan in New York city was the first stop on my visit to USA.
Visiting Wall Street was a dream come true. Having seen the photographs in books and magazines since I was a small child, to eventually be standing in the middle of all the magnificent streets, gave me a feeling of great satisfaction and achievement.
The New York Stock Exchange building was another place I wanted to see, as well as 5th Avenue, Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge and many other places. But there was not enough time to take it all in, in just seven days - which means another trip has to be ear marked!
To think that I had lost my own home, business and all financial security in the last recession and here I was standing in awe of the tremendous financial institutions?
It was incredible to think that just days before, I was living on 3 to 4 hours sleep with putting the finishing touches together on my eBook about debt.
I was using new software and one thing after another kept going wrong but I took solace in the fact that it happens to nearly everyone as they put the finishing touches to a product launch. When you are in the throws of the pressure of time restraints, technical problems and sleep deprivation, you have no alternative after travelling down such a long road than to just get it out there and make changes later, if you have to.
The feedback has been excellent and all I have to do now is to promote it.
Do help yourself to the free report at http://www.debts-challenge.com/ or if you want to go direct to the salespage it's www.debts-challenge.com/NewLife - at the moment, you will find it for $7.
$7 is a price everyone can afford and that was my reason for pricing it so low. The more people who can get out of debt, the better.

I met some of the most amazing women in Manhattan. Women who were so generous in sharing their live experiences with me. Women, I will never forget!

Yahoo Headlines on Home Repossessions
Just as I was about to open my yahoo mail account last night, I noticed with horror the Yahoo headlines stating that home repossession orders surge. You can read the full article here.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20080509/tpl-uk-britain-repossessions-orders-20b2d2f.html
Briefly, this is truly the worst news possible for all those with debt problems because they state that there are more people on the verge of losing their homes than in the early 1990's recession and according to experts, it is going to get worse.
Having lived through that particular recession, I am shocked that this is the case. Why on earth hasn't someone sitting in the comforts of Parliament or The Bank of England come up with a prevention strategy before debt problems in the housing market reached this level of disintegration? These, after all, are the people who are paid handsomely to ensure that people living in the country are protected from disastrous financial events.
I have actually heard someone recently say that a lot of people deserve their mortgage problems because they gambled on buying a house when prices were high, in the hope that they could afford it if the mortgage interest rate increased. My answer would be, with approximately 12 million mortgages in Britain alone,
1. why were house prices allowed to treble in a decade?
2. why were people allowed to borrow so much more than they could afford to repay?
3. why had the government not addressed this, knowing full well that history repeats itself as it surely has done with home repossessions?
Europe, America and all countries world wide are in similar positions with their debt problems and home repossessions. Surely one day, someone will get up and be counted and help all those who wake up every morning in the bleakness of living with their debts challenges of which home repossessions is just a part.
US home repossessions hit record high

Australia: Families hit by rising bankruptcies and home repossessions... broadcast on Australian television provided a timely insight into the desperate circumstances afflicting a growing number of ordinary Australians who are mired in debt and threatened with bankruptcy and the loss of their home. ...
This depressing news has to stop - and with the right frame of mind, the right tools, it can be turned around.

YES WE CAN – Eliminate the Debts Challenge Through Education
The big question is, can we eliminate the debts challenge faced by families all over the world through education?
YES WE CAN!
When I wrote this post, it was National Teacher Day in America. A day for thanking teachers for the continuing hard work that they give in order to ensure that their students reach the levels of attainment that they can aspire to.
Teaching children about money should start from when a young child first earns pocket money and should be taught right from the beginning exactly what the value of this money is.
When a child reaches school age and starts to learn maths, they should also be learning about the importance of money. Throughout their years of education, they should be taught how to budget, how to use credit cards, the type of mortgages they can apply for and all areas of the value of money.
However, at this moment, teachers world wide are suffering from the lack of support they are getting from the appropriate authorities. It is normal for teachers to have to work long hours, from planning lessons before the actual class, to correcting homework after the class, which is often done in the evenings or weekends.
The fact that they are working such long hours already can, not only affects their health but, the result of this can easily be affecting our future generations due of their lack of education in financial studies.
When someone in the political arena has the gumption to stand up and be counted as the person who changed the way that the education system looked at monetary issues as being a necessary part of the curriculum, then, and only then, will we be nearer the time that families will not have to suffer with the debts challenges of today.
If only there were more people like Mattye Whyte Woodridge ...
"According to the National Education Association, Arkansas teacher Mattye Whyte Woodridge began corresponding with political and education leaders about the need for a national day to honor teachers in 1944. Woodbridge wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt, who in 1953 persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day." You can read more of this article here ... http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080506/WDH0101/80506073/1981
If someone took a stance now, within a few years the younger generation would be more capable of taking full responsibility of their finances. We owe them that opportunity.
Going back to the original question of can we eliminate the debts challenge faced by families all over the world through education?
YES WE CAN!

My Internet Marketing Mistakes Cost Me Dearly
If only I had known what I was doing when I started online but instead, my internet marketing mistakes cost me dearly financially, in lack of sales. It also cost me dearly in lost valuable time. Time, which was gone forever!
However, in defence of myself, I have to admit that I find it incredible to think that many of my internet marketing mistakes are still being made daily, by thousands of people around the world.
Even though others have successfully been making a living online since the 1990's, new people coming onboard are still being enticed into buying packages which are not relevant to their needs.
For many people working online, they don't actually know what their needs are, let alone understand the internet marketing terminology and therefore buy into several products which just sinks them into massive debt.
My internet marketing mistakes included...
1 Buying products which were too advanced for my knowledge base at the time
2 Joining expensive membership sites which were, again, too advanced for me.
3 Buying programs which involved buying into more hosting, which I did not need.
4 Filling up my hardrive with 'must have' programs, many of which I did not open.
5 Holding myself back because of the fear of not being able to complete a task.
One of my very first mistakes online was buying into an ecommerce store to sell my own products, which, I might add, sold successfully offline, internationally.
If promoting a product online, is a route you want to go down, then, by going to the following site, you will find details of a less expensive way of doing this and generating sales almost immediately. You will also find many other ways that you can protect your purse and, at the same time, keep out of debt. www.myinternetmarketingmistakes.com

The Chicken Nugget Story And Debt
Can you imagine how a person would feel when they have to retire, after running their own business for many years, on just a measly pension?
This is exactly what happened to Colonel Harland Saunders, the Kentucky Fried Chicken guy who, at the ago of sixty, had no alternative but to sell out his business to make way for a new roadway.
After a period of living on his small pension, he decided that he was not going to accept his standard of living in pension poverty anymore and determined that he had to do something.
The idea came to him to sell his unique chicken recipes to other restaurateurs.
With this in mind, he set about approaching them and travelled all over America. He even slept in his car for many of the nights. He called on restaurateurs, day after day, explaining how his recipe would be advantageous for their businesses. But day after day, he was seen off their premises.
He never gave up and called on 1,009 doors throughout America before his offer was accepted.
What perseverance that man had to follow his dream? How many people would have given up after 3 or 4? But he went on and on until he got his Yes!
One of the reasons why I wrote my eBook on debt was because of my own debt. This happened, due to purchasing a retail business just one year before the last recession started. Our business of leather goods and gifts were not the sort of products which people needed in a recession. Expensive leather wallets and briefcases were eventually replaced by cheaper products but still it was impossible to trade successfully, when most of the customers in the locality were struggling with the recession themselves.
After many changes of the types of products we sold and also many burglaries to contend with, the doors were finally closed, at an enormous financial loss. The keys were handed in and the premises left empty. I drove away from there, knowing it would be a long time before I entered that location again.
Returning to college, I retrained and eventually landing up in a career motivating people on starting their own business, I always included the story of Colonel Saunders.
The story of his success was one I very much admired. The students loved to learn of his tenacity and determination.
Some years later, on my last visit to London, I did a detour down memory lane. This was the first time I had ventured back into the area where we had our retail business, as all recollections of it, the consequences of the recession and the financial burden of the closure had purposefully been erased from my mind. As I drove to the location where our retail business had previously been, memories of our debts challenge flooded back but I was happy to see that the new owners were running a very successful business.
There were many customers inside the bright, yet clean, premises.
It was very strange for me to notice, as I looked up at the shop sign, that it was in fact now owned by the Kentucky Fried Chicken chain.

Debt Can Lead To Suicide
How does someone who is living with the sheer panic and desperation of constantly trying to get through each day, because of their debt problems, stop the thoughts of their contemplating suicide?
As mention in my article http://debts-challenge.blogspot.com/2008/03/fear-and-worry-of-being-in-debt.html, these are the thoughts of many people who are living daily with the stress and worry of mounting debts and knowing that they cannot even afford their every day living expenses. Every second, their thoughts are of how they can get out of debt.
As a result of this constant stress and anxiety, they may not be eating or sleeping properly. The consequence of this will be their inability to work at their normal productive level and also to make good judgements. Without realising it, they will have slipped into a severe state of depression.
In this state, not only will they become pessimistic, but they will also become obsessive over their debt problems. Everything will look hopeless and they will eventually reach a point when they will not be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel. They will start to see suicide as their only way out.
Once a person reaches this point it is imperative that they be taken seriously.
If you know someone who is threatening suicide for whatever reason, get them to seek professional help right away. Go with them for support and encouragement, if you can. At the very least direct them to The Samaritans. Talk to them. Give them your time.
Going back to the original question of this article, the way to stop people considering suicide as an option to eliminating debts, is to help them put their debt problems into perspective.
- Spend time talking to them positively about their debts solutions. Contact a debt agency and make an appointment for them. Help them prepare for this appointment. You can do this by following the tips listed here.
- Encourage them to list all their achievements up until this point in their lives. This will help to reinforce their capability of dealing with their debt problems by way of reminding them of what they have successfully achieved in the past and putting their debt problems into perspective.
- Show them that you care by telling them what you like about them as a person. Their confidence will be at their lowest, so truthful but genuine compliments can only help to restore this.
- Enlist their family for more support. Some family members, who know nothing about the stress this person is going through, may well be in a position to and also, want to, help.
- Encourage them to make an appointment to see their doctor and go with them for moral support. Just the small act of driving them there and waiting for them while they are in their meeting, will help, not only them but also you. You will have knowledge that you have done everything in your power to help this person at a time of great need.
Music is another way of motivating and uplifting a person ...

The Fear And Worry Of Being In Debt
Every day thousands of people are waking up to the immediate thought of how they are going to survive yet another day of mounting debts. Will this be the day that they decide they cannot take it anymore?
People from all walks of life are coming to the conclusion that they have no alternative other than to destroy their own lives by committing suicide.
You just have to do a Google search for debt + suicide and you will come up with some horrendous cases of people of all ages and even in the 70's thinking about committing suicide but concerned with leaving the debts to their families. Cases include a 58 year old Mayor and the Reverend Mr Miller.
They are in such a desperate state of depression that they cannot even comprehend the pain they will be giving to the families that they leave behind – and all because of lack of money.
What a sad indictment on the rest of society that people who are going through this terrible situation, feel that they have no alternative. We have all been guilty at some time in our lives of judging a situation through our own ignorance.
In a lot of cases, they cannot comprehend the stigma of going along to get advice from the appropriate advice agencies, on how to get out of the debt and this can be because of the shame they feel. But, if only they would put their pride aside, because within no time they could be on the road to debt recovery.
A very slight change in the way that a person looks at each problem can make all the difference between life and debt. If people could just detach themselves from the emotions of the pain of being in debt and instead looks at the situation as a temporary challenge, which they can win – how much better life would be?

Debt Free Strategies
Becoming debt free is the main objective of many people who have build up credit debts, over the last few years.
It is a worldwide problem and in the UK steps are in place to protect those people who opt for protection under the Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) scheme. For a full detailed report on the new code of conduct with regard to the IVA, I would suggest that you read the following, which comes into effect from February 1st.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2007/dec/16/debt
However, according to the Press Association, banks are actually pressurising people to take our further loans to clear off the debts they cannot afford to pay now. What a vicious circle. You can check out their report here ...

Obviously there will always be people who slip into debt through no fault of their own, i.e. health, redundancy, recessions etc. but in a lot of cases debt is due to one thing only and that is bad financial management.
I certainly believe that financial management, or budgeting, should be taught from a very early age and in school. It should really be part of the curriculum. The reason why I believe this is because during a period of my life, when helping others with their business plans etc, I was surprised to find that a lot of people did not even know how to fill out a cheque!
Amongst some of the ebooks I have written, you will find a simple system of generating money at http://www.ez4u2gowebbusiness.com/indexmain.htm - this is an eBook which I am going to relaunch and for anyone who purchases it, they will get the updated new version.
It is definitely one way of becoming debt free.

Inspirational Tee Shirts - Debt - Fun
What has inspirational tee shirts,debt and fun all got to do with each other?
The simple matter is, by creating inspirational tee shirts within no time you will be on the road out of debt and at the same time having loads of fun.
This is an incredibly easy way of making money. All you have to do is to select some photos or graphics which inspire you, have them put on items and then sell them to anyone who likes them.
They have a very active forum. I've just spent the last hour in there and the information is excellent.
Can you imagine the fun you will have creating your own designs and then what about selling them and putting some money back into your pocket. It does'nt even cost anything to get started!
When I have the time, I am definitely going to do it myself because I have been carrying around in my head a lovely idea for the last few years.
Please can someone just tell me where more hours can come from.
In the meantime do give this idea some serious thought. The tee shirts can of any design you can think of, they obviously don't have to be just inspirational tee shirts.

Debts Challenge - Relaunch
I am in the final throws of relaunching Debts-Challenge's Help With Debt Problem System.
In the new edition there will be more information to help anyone who wants to get out of debt and at the same time, even have fun while you are in debt. Just because you have debts does not mean that you can't afford to have fun as well. Believe me, there are loads of ways that you can give your family memorable days without spending a fortune, even holidays ...
I've also written a new large section within the ebook which shows a method you can use for earning money without any assistance from anyone else other than yourself and working at home online. It is completely free to get going. It doesn't require you to ask anyone to sign up etc, as so many internet marketing systems do.
For all those who have previously bought the original eBook, I shall be sending each and every one of you a free copy. It's my intention to update this eBook yearly and anyone who buys will get an update, as long as they send me their receipt.
Wishing you debt free happiness.

Thank God For Positive Thinking - Bill Cullen Review
As it was a beautiful sunny day today, I took some time out to relax and read Bill Cullen's - 'It's A Long Way From Penny Apples. I've been reading it for a few weeks now as I can only snatch a few minutes here and there but I will get to the end one day.
It is a fantastic read. Bill Cullen relates his early life living in Dublin. The poverty his family went through, beggars belief - yet the strength and determination they had is also unbelieveable. Even though they had nothing, they were always finding ways to improve their lives.
I've put the link on the page and, as you can see, you can buy it for peanuts if you don't mind a second hand copy.
I've yet to reach the point where he starts to make his millions and this from a man who had to wrap his feet in newspaper to keep out the cold!
With the right thinking - positive thinking - we can achieve anything we set our mind to. Not forgetting that this blog is about debt - focussing on being free of debt, will bring that thought into reality. It is, afterall, the law of attraction!
Don't forget you can get a FREE REPORT on your debts challenge - or maybe I should rename it, help-with-debt-problem.
Also still on a positive note, check out this site. There is a FREE REPORT there as well!

Have Fun In Debt - You Can!
Have Fun In Debt!
Just because you are in debt, does not mean to say that you can't have fun. There are many things you can do which are free or cost very little.
The obvious ones are, inviting friends and family over for a get together, with each family bringing something in the way of food. You could use this time to bond with your family and even play 'old fashioned' games of cards etc.
Taking your small children to the local park and devising games for them to enjoy. By accessing and preparing the situation, you could plan an event which could also include many other local children.
Taking time out to read the books which are freely available from the library. You may also find that there are many local events listed in the library boards, which you had not thought about. Also many libraries have 'children story times', which will give the children a time to be with other children and yourself, some free time nearby.
That is just three simple things you could do. There are many suggestions in my eBook and please feel free to get the FREE REPORT.
Still on a positive note, have a look at this site ... I definitely recommend it.

HELP WITH DEBT PROBLEM
Click HERE to register for details of the relaunch of Debts-Challenge.
The reason why I am relaunching this eBook is because I have since found some excellent information which I want to include in it.
It all honesty, there is hardly a day goes by when I think of the people who have committed suicide, just because of their debts. You may have read that I was inspired to write this eBook last year because of a gentleman who lived in the next town to me, he killed himself because he could not afford to pay for his rent! I find that so incredibly sad. Also, there are many people who have fallen on hard times, now living with constant stress because of the lack of income.
Tomorrow I shall start a list of some of the reasons why people are in debt!

HELP WITH DEBT PROBLEM
Credit card debt is getting out of control for many people. They use one credit card to help get through one month when their income does not cover their normal daily expense. At first they don't worry about this as they know that within a certain period of time, they will at least get a rise to bring more money into their budget.
But when the rise comes, it's less then they expected. In the meantime, their bills are rising more each year than their salaries. Maybe they have not got the change of getting a better paid position because of where they live.
There are many reasons why people fall into debt and they are certainly not all because of irresponsible spending. In a vast amount of cases it is because they lose their jobs, became ill, had to look after someone else etc. etc.
If you are in that situation and want to start earning some money at home, on your computer without having to own a website, without asking other people to sign up for this that or the other, then you'll find the easiest method of earning money at here - www.ez4u2gowebbusiness.com

Joel Christopher's LIFE INTEGRATION (Marketing, Business & Personal) Blog: "My NEW YEAR's GIFT To You"
I have been to the above site and downloaded a very interesting diary for my desktop. Have a look yourself, if you use Outlook Express as they don't supply a calendar etc.
With the diary, you can put in all your payments due and keep notes on any comments you need to make for future reference.
I am going to give it a trial test as I think it is something we could get great benefit from.
If you decide to download it, please leave me a comment on what you think of the diary, because it could be a great help to many others.
Wishing you great success and happiness in 2007.

Debt Challenge - Can Credit Cards Help
Want your credit cards to do something for you? http://debts-challenge.ecreditdirectory.comWhen you are in debt, one of your worse fears is how to manage this debt so that it does not rise further. The answer can be Credit Cards.
You can use your credit cards as a project to manage your money.
Every day, spending a few minutes checking your expenses and daily spending, can very soon get you out of debt.
Yes, that's true! You'll find that the focus you give to managing your debts will start you on the road of taking complete control.
Using credit cards with 0% interest rate would be your first step in this direction. The link above will take you to a site which offer over 10 such sites. The sensible way of using these cards is to watch your dates carefully and then move balances as the date arrives for paying interest on your loans.
You obviously have to be very focussed so that you don't build up debts on them. But you can use them to clear off one card at a time.
Remember, the only person who can take complete control of your expenses and debts, is yourself.

The Mortgage Challenge
How often have you been tempted to spend some of the collateral in your property? Imagine spending some of the money on a luxury holiday, revamping your home or just putting some extra money into your current account so that you don't have to worry about the utility bills.
But then also imagine, instead of leaving an inheritance for your children, you leave a big mortgage.
A new mortgage has been introduced, named the 'inter-generational' mortgage. This enable a person to just pay the interest only with the capital sum remaining unpaid until the death of that person, the mortgagee – then the children of the mortgagee will have to decide if they want to take on the mortgage or sell the house. (Bearing in mind that the children may themselves be tied in with their own 'inter-generational' mortgage.)
Obviously there are concerns whether this is actually a good scheme. Even though it is cheaper at the beginning of the term, in the long run it works out much more expensively for the mortgagee. How, for instance, would people be able to pay the mortgage when they are in retirement?
It appears that the only people who would benefit from this would, surprisingly, be the mortgage landing companies.
Are we surprised though?
