Recession Plans To Save Your Investments

So they are talking about a recession and a sluggish economy. Didn’t this start in 2001? I remember listening to CNBC and hearing television anchors like Carrie Lee telling us that we were through making money on the Internet: The internet boom is over. Making money in Internet investments has drawn to a close. Funny that as she was saying this I was tallying our Internet sales and we were still climbing and have been ever since. Here I am almost seven years –and 10,000 sales –after that recession (the start of this recession?) and our businesses are only now feeling some of the sluggishness of our country’s current state of financial recess. The last time things were this slow – based on my internet sales, reading and research, conversations with my accountant and friends in the real estate and construction market here in Tucson – was September 2001. For a short time after 9-11 many things came to a stand still (revenue in MonumentMasonry.com dried up for 26 straight days without a sale) I think everyone noticed a slight crunch. This recession feels, sounds and smacks of deeper trends. January sales have been slow in all four of our enterprises. I am afraid this recession is getting comfortable and stretching itself a nice little hammock and settling in for a lazy afternoon’s nap.

A good place to begin to overcome a sluggish economy is to start retarding our own outflow. I just read a great article about surviving a recession that you might find very refreshing and up lifting. There is no reason to panic or get depressed about the current economic trends. I was speaking with a friend yesterday who had read nothing but bad news - he needed cheering so I sent him this article and I thought perhaps a few of you could use the advice as well.

First let’s cover the obvious: Tighten your belts. We need to take a look at carbons any way, why not start by lowering your electric bill – read this article. Here is a great article on saving energy. One of the best investment strategies I ever read was to begin by saving money by better shopping. Utilize Costco, Sam’s Club different warehouse saving stores and buy more things in bulk. In a book I just read: “Gut Feeling – The intelligence of the Unconscious” by Gerd Gigerenzer where he refers to a test they did on American buyers: They took a popular peanut butter and put it in two different jars, one with the brand name on it and one with a generic label and over 85% chose the jar with the popular label. We can easily save money on brand names since many times they are the exact same ingredients. If you doubt this set up a taste test of your own and see how you do. By saving on your expenditures you can easily add to money that can be invested – whether in stocks, a saving account or in remodeling your home.

So, what can a measly retired bricklayer in Tucson Arizona possible have to say about rising above the recession?

That is what I am doing here on the Internet – that is what we have been doing here since 1998. I have helped over 15,000 students save over $10,000,000 (combined estimated total) I can help you improve and reevaluate one of your biggest investments: your home! For most people a home is the largest single investment they ever make, so it is very important that you take care of not just the actual home, but the resale value of that home. Heaven forbid we should see and sort of worst case scenario, but if we did you could manage to pull a lot of strings with some cash to mortgage equity. Curb appeal is one of the best way to access this potential emergency cash. An obvious way to beat the recession is to do your own concrete work. Pouring your own stamped concrete or trowel finished concrete is a sure fire way to save money and beat the recession. Do your own masonry by learning how to do your own glass block windows, showers and more. You can begin now for the next real estate boom by planning repairs and remodels on your existing landscape.

At the very least you can build a pond in the back yard so you have a sanctuary of your very own. A serene place you can peacefully sit and weather out the storm. This recession won’t last and it isn’t going to beat us, by God we are Americans and we don’t lie down and quit, we get up and fight. Isn’t that what they teach us to do? So get out there, dig your own footing. Build your own patio or retaining wall. Pour your own concrete. Lay that flagstone yourself. Learn to restore and repair your own brick, block and adobe. I will help you to learn to lay your own glass block. I can help you build your own pond. Build a straw bale house and drastically drop your energy bills. Save money by building your own patio or courtyard wall – nothing perks up the value of your home like great curb appeal.

I want to help you by offering our compilation of 7 Multitorials and the glass block DVD for over $85 off of the combined retail prices, that is going to start you working through this recession by saving you over eighty five dollars. I will go one further to help you through the recession, I am almost finished with the new Multitorial: “Build Your Own Outdoor Fireplace” – if you come on board with the compilation offer now, I will send you the new Multitorial: “Build Your Own Outdoor Fireplace” absolutely free of charge as soon as it is finished! So I will help you by showing you how to increase the value of your home and you help me by buying the compilation and voila, between us both we have just improved the economy!
