Finances are also be defined as the science of money management. A key point in finance is the time value of money, which states that one unit of currency today is worth more than one unit of currency tomorrow. Finance can be broken into three different sub-categories: public finances, corporate finances and personal finances.

BitCoin Investing and Beyond

Currency — the bills and coins you carry in your wallet and in your bank account — is founded on marketing, on the belief that banks and governments are trustworthy. Now, a walk through a new generation of currency, supported by that same marketing … but on behalf of a private brand. From Nike Sweat Points to bottles of Tide (which are finding an unexpected use in illegal markets), meet the non-bank future of currencies. BitCoin Investing

Is BitCoin Investing SAFE?

Robert Kiyosaki – Cash Flow Quadrant

Robert Kiyosaki – CASH FLOW QUADRANT

E = Employee

B = Business Owner

S = Self-Employed

I = Investor

The Cash Flow Quadrant concept in and of itself is valuable to understand. The basics are pretty simple. It is the cross over and application of the concepts into our everyday lives that make the real difference in whether we have TIME to enjoy our lives, or we are just bizzy being bizzy.

Take for example, the MLM or Network Marketing industry. The industry in general, expresses the ability for leveraged income and time freedom, when in REALITY, the leaders are constantly on the phone and presenting at meetings and conventions. I would not call this “time-freedom”, unless of course the individual THRIVES from being bizzy and on stage most of their lives.

Personally, I enjoy being spontaneous and living a casual lifestyle with minimal commitments and having the abiity to do what I want, when I want, if I want.

Intelligent REIT Investing | Real Estate Investment Trusts

Interview Dr. Brad Case, Senior VP with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts about REITs.

A real estate investment trust, or REIT, is a company that owns, operates or finances income-producing real estate. For a company to qualify as a REIT, it must meet certain regulatory guidelines. REITs often trades on major exchanges like other securities and provide investors with a liquid stake in real estate. Read more: Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)

REITs are not a new financial innovation. Established by Congress in 1960 as an amendment to the Cigar Excise Tax Extension of 1960, REITs operate in a manner comparable to mutual funds as they allow for individual investors to acquire ownership in commercial real estate portfolios that receive income from properties such as apartment complexes, hospitals, office buildings, timber land, warehouses, hotels and shopping malls. Most REITs specialize in a specific real-estate sector – for example office REITs or healthcare REITs. Within this space, REITS must purchase and operate its holdings as a part of its portfolio. In most cases, REITs operate by leasing space and passing on collected rent payments to its investors in the form of dividends.

Individuals can invest in REITs either by purchasing their shares directly on an open exchange or by investing in a mutual fund that specializes in public real estate. Some REITs are SEC-registered and public, but not listed on an exchange; others are private.

Many REITs will invest specifically in one area of real estate—shopping malls, for example—or in one specific region, state or country. Others are more diversified. There are several REIT ETFs available, most of which have fairly low expense ratios. The ETF format can help investors avoid over-dependence on one company, geographical area or industry.
