Good day to you dear Friends, Closer and closer Christmas day comes.  And right afterwards looms something very attractive for wise shoppers: Boxing Day.  Its a time to spend money but also to carefully count your savings to see what deals you can best take advantage of for this special time.  What are you going to buy this boxing Day? Myself, I am looking for a good solid sweater with nice colors.  I am wearing a lovely lavender fleecy jacket but it is a trifle snug and a tad unflattering.  (too much good food you know).  And also some good tights.  And finally its time to look into a new computer.  That is going to be a tough one.  All this money talk makes ...

BMI36. Connecting the Dots, etc.Video

Image
Art Fabian and K. Fabian present Industry Expert or news Today: Our heroine reads about small businesses and making money. Mostly she finds information on how to better represent your product.  She reads about some tips about hos to use Linked in to find connections in your field. Also what happens if you are invited to speak free at a conference but you cannot advertise your product. See what she comes up with at: http://youtu.be/HEgcbWwXFKw There are some good tips to be learned if you listen carefully..  But there is still work to do about with the visual appearance and the way she speaks. Also she has still yet to find sound advice that will give her directly a good sized amount of capital.  But still there are many useful tips about arranging things if ever the opportunity for money comes in.

BMI32. A Horrible Conversation about Debt.

September 10, 2013 I had an extremely upsetting conversation with this person about 17:00 yesterday. I had written  Revenu Quebec  about the Shelter Allowance problem and the woman, after ringing my room about three full times separately in a small amount of time (I was unable to answer and heard it all three times), proclaimed that not only do I not qualify for this subsidy I was not entitled to receive  the Solidarity  Tax credit  as well.  In other words I would be receiving a lot less and would have to pay extra money to boot.  Now this is an enormous amount of  money .  We are talking about twenty percent of the money that I live off of. I tried to explain that I have a chartered accountant and that the rent is more than 1/3 of my living expenses but she insisted in saying the same thing.  Not only that, she called me late at the end of the day and gave the bad news with absolutely no concern about my  p...

BMI31. The Powerful and their Business

Just an aside, have you ever spoken to someone really rich?  I have spoken to Queen Elizabeth .  I asked the obvious a very poor person would.  How could you use all the space in a castle?   I mean why don't let some servants use some of those bedrooms? those places have lots of bedrooms.  This is what she replied. First of all I use all those bedrooms myself.  They all have different functions.  Second of all for me to be very rich I have to have an extraordinary amount of money and stuff.  Otherwise I wouldn't be really wealthy. So as for powerful religious orders who work with the poor.  Let me state they do not give to the poor.  Okay? They work to get money from the poor.  The money goes to very few wealthy people.  Otherwise they would not be a rich order okay. Its a business. Its a nice business as businesses goes.  Buts its a business and a cut throat one at that.  Just think of all those movies...

BMI30. Two Problems and a Solution

Okay so people have some deep problems when they come to my side of the house.  The way the problems are solved run into a few categories What I Cannot Solve. There are problems that are not solvable.  It is best to just live with them and not complain   People literally die that way.  In this house as in the house before, when the loss became too much we are called insane and given tranquillizers. it is best not to dwell on this. Or solve your problems and lose yourself in unpaid work.  No matter how much you go on pilgrimages and go to pray it is always the same solution. Work for the poor. There is only one way: unpaid. What I can Solve Okay now that I have done all that, it is time to break the cycle. First of all I should look for a place that encourages enjoyment of your accomplishments and payment for your labour.  If I even ventured a place that encourages the enjoyment of luxuries, would I be pushing it? Frankly if I do not think that ...

BMI29. Creative Insurgents: S. Goldsmith

I just finished listening to the Stephen Goldsmith interview on Creative Insurgents.  I will sebend you the link  below: http://creativeinsurgents.com/13/?utm_source=The+Abundant+Artist+List&utm_campaign=e22dd97fa0-CI_125_21_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8bc430d641-e22dd97fa0-390446353 Good stuff. Yes, the artist is good for the community.   I am good for the community.  I have to make a stand.  You see, as a muse which Ii was I was told to be silent all the time so I have a great deal of difficulty of speaking out.  But I, as an artist, use my artistic talent  to create in many ways.  This is what Mr. Goldsmith talks about.  The artists have a particular talent of creating and this can be used in many positive ways for all sorts of civil causes. Take Forward House where I lived.  It was located, as a half way house, in a very dangerous very centrally located neighborhood.  One of the ...

BMI28. Tiny Houses

http://t.money.msn.com/real-estate/12-tiny-tricked-out-homes#tscptmf Very cool and a times strikingly beautiful tiny houses. The adobe is lovely.

BMI27. Same with Material Possessions

Its the same thing with the material possessions.  After several times, working a huge a lot, being successful and getting money for that what happens?   it is immediately confiscated. you begin to think of other things to do with the money.  One is to collect furniture and stuff for the house so at least you can enjoy a reward from your work.  Another is to go travelling.  So okay my parents did that.  But what is left for me after they die? Never mind that, my father died bed ridden and my mother is now bedridden.  Can they benefit from selling some of the less important  furniture? No. So with all the taxes that are incurred when they are sold, it is almost not worth the effort to sell them in the first place.  Yes I know that the estate tax  is not a big one.  However there is another one. Forget about sixty percent. My brother is all for calling the Salvation Army and getting rid of the furniture...

BMI26. Put your Money in the Bank.2

So when I was a young adult I earned a windfall: several million dollars.  What happens.  I go to the bank to put the money there for safekeeping and the bank managers standing at the door.  He says go to hell. Ask your father. My father says you asshole.  You can't do anything.  So I ask what do I do with the money.  My father says Go to Hell. So he's my father right?  So I ask him if he wants it  because he will give something back in return. he says obscenities about me again and he says if he takes it he won't give me anything. The bank won't touch it.  No one will help me.  My fathers supposed to be my family.  So I give it to him.  What happens?  I I have been working really hard to go to university.  I go to school downtown really early in the morning and come back late at night.  My mother refuses to feed me.  As I lay down tired and hungry from the day the television and the news is blastin...

BMI25. Put Your Money in the bank.1

Okay so the traditional words of wisdom are (often said and quoted by Stacey Johnson of Money Talk News: "If you experience a windfall, before you do anything with the money put it in the bank and think about it at least for a month." Yeah but what if you don't have recourse to go to the bank? Case in point. When I reached eighteen years old, I was given sixteen million dollars by Prince Philip because he gave all his subjects an opportunity to work with a lot of money.  First thing I said was because the money wasn't stable so we should trade it into something that was international  "gold".  At that time one ounce of gold was thirty six dollars about.  We went to Fort Knox (I think that's where and we traded the sixteen  million dollars for its worth in gold.  Very soon the gold prices skyrocketed and the value went up about forty two times.(to two thousand dollars an ounce about that). What did I receive from ...

BMI23. A Gift from the Crown of Brussels

Finally I met some people who were interested enough to take the time to understand me. Why this happened  is not clear but it could be a gift from the Crown of Brussels.  I found several crowns of some children monarchs who had been murdered and I brought it back to Brussels because this is the monarchy that concerns itself with Royal matters.  It was there I met a benevolent group of people who offered me a very attractive place to stay. I was offered the opportunity to replace my hostile  family unit with a surrogate one made of member much more supportive that any of the original ones had been.  Many wounds were healed but I decided wonderful as the place was where I found refuge, I could not stay. I felt compelled to go back to the place in which I was so unhappy. One of the supporters was a police officer and he said that I had been tortured severely and that the reason I was so badly treated was because I did not want to do what they wanted me to d...

BMI22. Sixteen Million Dollars

The problem comes with an episode in my past when I was given sixteen million dollars by the Royal family to do what I wanted to.  When I went to take it to the bank the bank manager refused to accept to handle the money because it was against my father’s wishes.  So no one would take the money but my father and he took it every single bit.  That is when I became homeless and the family went on international travels and started furnished their extremely expensive house with high quality and rare antiques.  So disturbing was their lack of concern of my misery and their absolute unabashed confiscation of the money I am not sure that their windfall is the Royal money I was awarded.  This is a situation I would not want repeated with my brother.  Not only was that if the money taken by this family I wonder if they took ownership of it.  If they did not legally than the money and all they bought with it should be mine.   However the fact is hars...

BMI21. I Found Myself Despairing

I found myself at this late stage of my life very despairing of ever being understood.   I met several people who said that all people can be understood. It just involves interested people and their time  So Finally some people were interested enough to take the time to understand me.  i wished I could meet some policy makers who were also actors to piece together my  life by role playing. This led to  There was meeting of these benevolent others who assumed the roles of those who were supportive in my community.  It was there that my welfare was given over to benevolent protectors who not only had my interest in mind but were concerned with my peace of mind as well.  It was there a living plan was drafted so that I would be provided for according to my wishes. These people discussed my future by trying to piece together my life by using their experience as actors to get an idea of my life by role playing the people who were associated wit...

BMI19. Wealth-X Reveals The Top Ten Billionaire Skyscraper Homes

Image
http://www.wealthx.com/articles/minisite-post/wealth-x-reveals-the-top-ten-billionaire-skyscraper-homes/?utm_source=ZohoCampaigns&utm_campaign=Newsletter+Campaign+-+26+March+2014_2014-03-25&utm_medium=email Quote from the article: “Wealthy buyers want convenience,” said Joanna Leverett, head of international new developments at Savills. “Flagship developments provide services and facilities such as spas, wellness and restaurants that you wouldn’t normally get in a house, all within walking distance to the city’s restaurants and culture instead of being out in the sticks.” All right.  Why do people think that if you want quality in a home it has to be a pretty far car commute from the cultural hub? It would be delightful for someone to wake up in the morning and just saunter casually across the street to the best in breakfasts and culture that their city has to offer.

BMI18. Rupert Murdoch's New York Condo with style.

Rupert Murdoch, owner of the Wall Street Journal,  gets a new condo in New York. He is combining the penthouse and an apartment below into one place.  Fify seven million dollars only, if you please.

BMI17. The Bank Manager

So as I recall one of the warlocks also happened to be important in the local bank. And that is why he took under his wing and I have had not a penny for any work at all that I did throughout my life.  That's what I believe.  and the question, is does that go?  I mean is that legal? One thing that I was told is that victims although they get justice do not get compensation like money for being a victim of a crime.  Or malice.  If the malice is legal and the attacker is  a bank manager and he clears me from all payment of anything throughout my life.  is that legal too? You know what I think of?  I think of the bank manager that forced me clean out a bank account that a friend gave me access to.  She was wearing a curly wig that looks like the wig on Heart the rock group. No one understood that I was being threatened a horrible death if I did not do so and that I would not receive a cent of the money. The  person walked me through i...

BMI16. My Mother was Sick and How we Coped.

So my mother didn't feel  well most of the time.  So she decided that as a small child that the house was to crowded and so that the best solution was for me to live outside of it as much as possible and the nicest place to live outside was the park.  So I was there as often as I could stand it.  At the park there was a synagogue and it was the custom of criminals, both moral and immoral, to kill people there if the crime was to be horrible so that God could fix it up.  That is the way that criminals solved justice in my neighbourhood at the time. Needless to say I got in trouble with evil people.  That was practically witches and warlocks who actually acted and looked like everybody else at the time.  Perhaps they were more friendly. And as friendly as they were, They didn't like me trying to foolishly rescue any of their victims which the going rage at the synagogue was to scream for help and  that a long long time.  Freezing in the park...

BMI15. They are so Wealthy.

And the kidnappings.  The horrible kidnappings.  I have been in a horror movie because how painfully you have kidnapped me.  And why?  I find many  in a lifetime. and I fifty-five years old now, but many times I have found love and an honest marriage partner .  And no matter how high or how talented, no matter how much money or fame can be  made with a brilliant even beginning,  No matter how important a castle the place is, no matter much it hurts, no matter to any of this, I am kidnapped back to Montreal. And the kidnappings have never stopped.  My god I have been kidnapped to live back in the convent residence but two staff members.  Why?  What nonsense is this?  Why I  am not entitled to be a ballerina as a I was trained to be?  I had to leave because they said I was severely tortured?  I have everything I could have dreamed for.  Why do these people do this?  They are so wealthy  They spend...
