28step update

I hope everyone is enjoing the holidays.
My doubling fund is now up to .53 cents from bottle deposits.
Being self employed "without a real job" it's easy to come up with ideas the hard part is not touching the funds to buy gas, food and so on. Thats what happaned to my last attempt at doubling.
I am currently working on buying a rental property to provide a steady income along with investments that pay a dividend.
The trick is paying bills while building capital for investments, ie. managing cashflow. Finding short term investments to park my money for 1or 2 months till its needed to pay bills can be a fulltime job in itself.

just ask, doubling game update

Stopped to see a friend today, I noticed an empty coke bottle so I ask if he'd sell it to me for 3 cents. After I told him about starting with a penny and trying to double my way to a million, he told me I could have the bottle and to keep my pennies.

When I left he offered to save all his empties for me. With a 10 cent deposit on each bottle this could add up pretty quick.

I am now up to $.13 which is between steps 5 & 6. Only 22 steps to go.

It's amazing what you can get just by asking. If your getting the wrong answers, you might want to change the questions your asking.

One Penny Project: Passive Income or Residual Income

here is a link to another like minded soul
One Penny Project: Passive Income or Residual Income

I have found that life is more fun when you not only think outside the box but live outside the box.
I have learned to relax and enjoy the trip and the thrill of doing something new rather than being tied to the results.

We need to have goals but the most important thing is the trip, because that is where live happens.
The goal is just an excuse to play the game.

I now have 3 cents in my doubling fund.
I told a friend what I was trying to do, he gave me 2 cents and told me to keep my penny and just remember him when I make my millions.

Double your way to a Million

Years ago, like about 30, I read that if you started with a penny and doubled it every day you would be a millionaire in less than a month. It didn't take long for me to realize that my weekly paycheck wasn't going to do it. So I forgot about it until, fast forward 30 years, a couple months ago. More like 9 months ago.
I ran across an e-book I downloaded about becoming a millionaire in 28 steps. After reading it I decided to give it a try, hence the name team28
. Than life happened and after step 7 I forgot about it and the money got mixed in with the rest of my change.
Well the other night I ran across a site named "oneredpaperclip". It tells the story about how the auther starts with one red paper clip and trades his way to a house.
The site is http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com It's worth checking out and reading his story.
It got me thinking about my failed attempt to double my way to a million dollars, so I desided I would try again.
I have my penny to get me started. Does anyone want to buy a shiny 2004 penny for 2 cents let me know, no telling how log it will last at this price.

What You Need To Know to Apply for a Credit Card

Since finances—especially money—is one of the major concerns of many people, a wide array of financial management services and financial options emerged. One of the most visible of the financial management services there are is the credit card.

Although many people testify for the financial convenience you get when you apply for a credit card, it doesn’t mean that every financing convenience right for you.

When people apply for a credit card, there is always a reason. It can be for managing their finances, needing extra money or in preparation to a big expenditure. People apply for a credit card because of the ultimate convenience it brings. By now, you may have had your share of ‘pre-approved’ credit card offers in your virtual and physical mail. Credit card issuers lure these people by giving low introductory APR, no annual fee offers among numerous perks, to attract the person who wants to apply for a credit card.

There are endless pros and cons when you apply for a credit card, but if you have decided to apply for a credit card, here are some helpful tips to guide you.

There are three easy steps you should follow if you have decided to apply for a credit card.

  • First, do some research on credit cards. By doing this, you can familiarize yourself with different credit card terms and types.
  • Third, apply for the credit card of your choice by filling out a credit card application by visiting a bank representative or through online.

Before you apply for a credit card, make sure you mastered the credit card terms. Being a form of borrowing that involves charges, credit cards usually have underlying credit terms and conditions affect your overall cost. So, it’s best to compare terms and fees before you apply for a credit card and agree to open an account. Some of the important terms to be understood well include the annual percentage rate or the APR.
When you apply for a credit card, you must know how the APR affects your credit account. Being a measure of the cost of credit expressed as a yearly rate, the APR should be disclosed before you apply for a credit card. Aside from APR, the periodic rate must be disclosed to the card holder before they completely apply for a credit card so they would have an idea of their outstanding balance and finance charge for each billing period. Other important terms to know before you apply for a credit card are free period or “grace period,” annual fees, transaction fees and other charges, other costs and feature, and balance computation method for the finance charge like average daily balance, adjusted balance, previous balance, and two-cycle balances. Make sure before you apply for a credit card, the issuer gives an explanation of how the balance is computed and it must appear on your monthly billing statements.

Credit card anyone?

The emergence of electronic age made almost everything possible to people. Everyday life is made easier by technology. We now have more convenient stores, easier means of transportation and a variety of gadgets that makes work and pleasure almost effortless.

When it comes to finances, technology—through efficient banking system and services—has given people better alternatives and options on how to manage their finances. Among the many financial management schemes that emerged, one alternative stands out among the rest—the credit card.

Credit cards, especially to working people and those who live very busy lives, has become an ultimate financial “savior.” More than just being a status symbol, credit cards have revolutionized the way people spend their money.

But, more than the convenience credit cards brings, there is more to these cards than most people imagine.

Credit Card 101
Before getting into the list of the advantages and disadvantages of having a credit card, it is very important for people to first realize what a credit card really is in order for them to maximize its potentials.

In simple terms a credit card is a card that allows a person to make purchases up to the limit set by the card issuer. One must then pay off the balance in installments with interest payments. Usually, credit card payment per month ranges from the minimum amount set by the bank to entire outstanding balance. And since it is a form of business, the longer the credit card holder wait to pay off his or her entire amount, the more interest piles up.

Since having a credit card is a responsibility, only those people who are of legal age and have the capability to pay off the amount they are going to spend through their credit card, is allowed to have one. Actually, most of the adults in the U.S. use credit card because this is very convenient compared to carrying cash or checks every time they have to purchase something.

It is also equally important to be familiar with the different types of credit cards before you begin to build up credit card balances and to avoid having a nightmare of debt. Since credit cards are indispensable to most consumers, it is a must that they understand the types of card that include charge cards, bankcards, retail cards, gold cards and secured cards.

All of these types come in one of two interest rate options—the fixed and variable. Actually, it doesn’t really matter if you decide to have a fixed-rate credit card because the interest rate remains the same. Compared to variable rate cards where rate may be subject to change depends upon the credit card issuer’s discretion, fixed-rate carry higher interest rates.

Basically, credit card grantors issue three types of accounts with basic account agreements like the revolving agreement which allows the payer to pay in full monthly or to have partial payments based on outstanding balance. While the Charge Agreement requires the payer to pay the full balance monthly so they won’t have to pay the interest charges, the Installment Agreement, on the other hand, asks the payer to sign a contract to repay a fixed amount of credit in equal payments in definite period of time.

Another category of credit card accounts includes the individual and joint accounts where the former asks the individual alone to repay the debt while the latter requires the partners responsible to pay.

The common types of credit cards available through banks and other financial institutions also include Standard Credit Cards like Balance Transfer Credit Cards and Low Interest Credit Cards; Credit Cards with Rewards Programs like Airline Miles Credit Cards, Cash Back Credit Cards and Rewards Credit Cards; Credit Cards for Bad Credit like Secured Credit Cards and Prepaid Debit Cards; and Specialty Credit Cards like Business Credit Cards and Student Credit Cards.

Now that you have an idea how many types of credit card there is, it is now time to review your goals before applying for one. Some of the things you should consider is, how much will you spend with the credit card monthly?, if you plan to carry a balance at the end of the month, how much are you willing to pay in annual fees?, do you have a strong credit history and is your credit in need of rehabilitation? Once you have an idea of what you are looking for choose the right credit card for you by researching the information you need that will fit your basic needs. You may also review the credit cards you’ve research and compare them.

Shopping for a credit card?
Regardless of the type of credit card you choose, be sure to discuss your specific financial needs with your financial advisor or accountant before applying for any credit card. It is a must that you understand the benefits of having a credit card, like safety, valuable consumer protections under the law, and the accessibility and availability of services. The most popular credit cards include Chase Manhattan Bank, Citibank, Bank of America, BankOne, American Express, Discover® Card, First Premier Bank, Advanta, HSBC Bank, and MasterCard Credit Cards.

Although having a credit card is convenient, it may trigger a person’s thirst for material things and may lead to the temptation of buying something they don’t really need. You should always keep in mind that having a credit card is a big responsibility. If you don’t use it carefully, you may end up owing more than you can repay. It can also damage your credit report, and create credit problems that are quite difficult to repair.
