Now, you're all walking around saying debt ceiling like a three year old who just learned a new phrase. The debt ceiling, the debt ceiling, the debt ceiling! Or maybe you sound more like Dustin Hoffman in Rainman.

Chances are, if you're reading this, your own debt ceiling passed the… Read full post »

If you're reading Open Salon, chances are your financial situation is of your own making. Good, bad, or middling. I am not talking about those who have suffered illness or an accident. I mean, if you're able bodied, and intellectually functional, you are right where you… Read full post »

In my last few posts, I've talked about getting rid of your debt (and not through bankruptcy), tightening your belt, and considering offshore banking (ever heard of a bank run in the Grand Caymans?). 

The looming question is how you will amass a substantial fortune without worki… Read full post »

Offshore banking in The Grand Caymans is an idea whose time has  come. With current economic conditions, the state of peril in which we see bank runs, and an out of control tax rate, banking in The Cayman's is a great solution to a problem that won't be… Read full post »

 Did you know more millionaires are created out of economic depression than at any other time? The reason for this is simple-those who succeed out of nothing, see opportunity in wreckage. They know how to salvage. They know how to inspire people, they are mavericks and calculated… Read full post »

My aunt was glowing this morning. She said she loved her room here so much.

"It's perfect for me!" she smiled over her favorite very strong black tea.  "Victorian furnishings, candles, floral prints! A room of one's own!"

She explained to me what she was referring… Read full post »

 Lots has been said about building wealth. There is guilt around money and that is the numero uno thing keeping people from earning wealth.  That and a poverty mentality. Poverty as purity. Greed is not good, building financial empires is. Then, give it away. The question is: how d… Read full post »

 Suze means lots to my family-we think of her as one of our single greatest assets. We can make all the money we want, but if we don't know how to manage it, there isn't much point.

Here's a video from Suze telling like it is: The American Dream is… Read full post »

 Like attracts like. Sick attracts sick. Negative attracts negative.  Happy attracts happy, prosperous attracts prosperous, love attracts love. False love attracts false love.

I asked my aunt what she was focusing on in the two weeks before she got here. She had decided she… Read full post »

There seems to be an idea around that bloggers here are owed 'answers' about my aunt Robin. That had she or I or Katherine or my dad (The Loving Christ-the only real voice of sanity in these last few days) posted pictures of our family on… Read full post »

I can certainly see why there are bloggers on Open Salon who think Robin Sneed is crazy. Just look at the following footage and see her promoting the work of others on OS. That's just insane. We're glad she's with family now where she is working on her two forthcoming… Read full post »

I have decided to become my aunt Robin's press agent and she has agreed. Any questions, concerns, queries for interviews or readings  will go through me.  I don't mean to say that I will be answering her personal mail.  I will be answering her press. She is… Read full post »

 I'm a piss poor example. I just said piss. I have a faith. So much faith that I can call myself Weiner's Wiener and my family still loves me. We're all we've got.  My girlfriend loves me though she could do better.

Praises be, I'm the black sheep of… Read full post »
