Cash Flow & Wealth Building

Learn How You Can Build Wealth By Taking Appropriate Action

 

In the current economy we have talked with many who have been apprehensive in their approach toward reaching their goals—whether financial or otherwise.  It is not uncommon for many to lack the know-how and steps that are needed to achieve major success.  If you are in that group—now is the time for all of your uncertainty to subside—whether it be your approach towards your finances or uncertainty in other areas of your life!

 

First, I’m going to dive into the importance of creating a cash flow statement and show you ways that you can use that creation for your greater benefit.  Then we’ll look into highly practical ways that you can improve your cash flow and build lasting wealth.

 

Finally, I will provide closing thoughts on other ways that you can improve your cash flow and build lasting wealth in a more intelligent, consistent and proactive manner.

 

It is important that you realize that if you take the appropriate action at this time you can bring into existence that which you desire most—and it does not have to be of monetary value.  If you desire to achieve more and you have a plan in place to help you do just that—you are well ahead of most consumers.

 

However, even if you don’t have a plan in place—there is no reason that you—or anyone else should feel discouraged as you reach toward a higher level of excellence.  The success that you desire to attain can still happen if you take the right action and you use your determination and willpower to take the right action on a more consistent basis—even when it may appear to be the wrong action in the eyes of others.

 

Isn’t it time that you do your own thinking, your own analysis, your own decision making and determine what is best for you and your family at this time!

 

Many visitors to this site have made the decision to dig down deep and apply their mind at their highest level are now on a path to achieving major success in the management and improvement of their finances.  Will you be one of those who are on track to achieving major success or will you be one of those who complain daily and fail to look for—or expect a better future in all areas of your life.

 

Be sure to put on your “heavy duty” thinking cap and learn and comprehend all that you are about to read at your highest level.  It is important that you relate all that you have learned from birth until this day so that you can achieve more during your lifetime—whether it be financial or otherwise.

 

Hold on—here we go—now is the time that you obtain real results in your future that will show!

 

It is important that you realize at this time that the key to your future success is not only having the ability to overcome any and all adversity that you may face—you must also have a highly effective way of managing and improving your cash flow—and ultimately your net worth.

 

It is important that you realize at this time that adversity—or unplanned occurrences will occur in your life and at times in rapid succession—however it  should be your goal to respond positively to those occurrences at all times.

 

That positive response begins by conditioning your mind for continuous success by approaching your future in a more appropriate manner.   This discussion is designed to get you and your family started on a major path to success that has no limit.

 

  • You Must Know Your Cash Flow If You Are To Achieve Results That Will Show

 

It is important that you not approach your finances in a haphazard manner by focusing on what is not important.

 

Your monthly cash inflows and cash outflows are the starting point to getting you in position to achieve lasting success in your financial life.  You cannot guess your numbers or just go through the motions on a daily basis by spending your income in a random manner and paying your monthly bills as you see fit.

 

Even those with high discretionary income on a monthly basis could achieve far more if only they had an effective system in place that allowed them to manage their monthly cash inflows and outflows in a smarter and more beneficial manner.

 

Creating a realistic plan for building your wealth means that you know your monthly income and your monthly expenses and you have an understanding within your mind of how to manage your income and expenses effectively.

 

OPTIONS FOR IMPROVING YOUR MONTHLY CASH FLOW

1) Get more income

By increasing the amount of income that you bring in on a monthly basis you can use your creativity and enhance your skills and  get into  a financial position where you have the available monthly discretionary income that you need to achieve your future wealth building goal(s).

2) Reduce your expenses

By paying off or paying down your outstanding debt and cutting back on your monthly spending you can get to a point where you have the available monthly discretionary income that is needed to achieve your future wealth building goal(s).

3) Do a combination of the two

By increasing the amount of income that you bring in on a monthly basis and by using your creativity and enhancing your financial management skills you can pay off or pay down your outstanding debt and get to a point where you have the available monthly discretionary income that is needed to achieve your future wealth building goal(s).

 

  •   Use Your Income to Reach Your Desired Goals

 

Even if you have additional wealth building goals—you would now be in position to pursue them in a more effective manner because you know your “financial numbers” and you are now in a better position to achieve those goals.

 

If the wealth building goals that you aspire to achieve are not within the time table that you have for achieving them—you may have to modify your goals or time frame, or reduce the number of goals to a level that is achievable in the time frame that you establish.

 

You must always know how to make compounding work for you and your family and you must not let others use compounding against you and your family for an excessive period of time—if at all.

 

You can avoid the latter by putting a plan in place to pay off or pay down your credit card and/or other high interest debt that you are now carrying.

 

  •     Use Wisdom to Achieve What You Desire

 

Keep in mind that you must balance your goals and at the same time use wisdom in your approach! 

 

If your employer offers matching contributions on your retirement account up to a certain level—it normally makes sense to contribute up to the match at a minimum even if you currently do not have a properly funded emergency fund, you have outstanding debt—and you are coming up short on reaching your other goals such as saving for a house or investment property.

 

By saving on your taxes, getting basically free money from your employer with the retirement contributions match—you would normally put yourself in better position for your future (and possibly the present as well) by doing so.

 

Whether establishing an emergency fund, establishing a health savings account, establishing a retirement portfolio or investing outside of retirement—you want to choose the appropriate vehicle for getting you to your destination and you want to do your due diligence on the front end!

 

 

Final Thoughts On Cash Flow & Building Wealth

 

It is important that you have working knowledge of how to manage your monthly cash flow in a manner that serves your and your family’s best long-term interests.  Furthermore you must realize that the more diverse your investment mix—the more the odds are that your plan will stand the test of time.

 

As you build wealth be sure to consider index funds as well as actively managed funds, CD’s, and money market accounts—and be sure that you are comfortable and have a real understanding of how what you are investing in works whether it be stocks, bonds, mutual funds or whatever investment that you plan on utilizing to reach your investment and financial goals.

 

By doing all of the above at a minimum—you put yourself in position to control your future and at the same time you minimize letting others control your future and enhancing their bottom line at your expense.

 

Always realize that you have what it takes on the inside to improve your personal finances and build lasting wealth!  However you must have the attitude that you will bring it all out at this particular moment in time and achieve what you truly desire!

 

It is important that you focus on what you can do and achieve in your future, regardless of the problems or adversity that you may now face on a daily basis or on the actions that others are taking on a daily basis.

 

You must always realize that it takes more than just focus to be your best!  You must always have the attitude that you will attain success—and you must always put an effective plan in place and give it your best!

 

The Wealth Increaser is of the opinion that you are on a major path towards success by using your cash flow in a wiser manner and building your wealth in a more intelligent, consistent and proactive manner!

 

Keep moving…

Financial Management Skills & Wealth Accumulation

Learn  why you must have the needed Financial Management Skills if you want to achieve at a high level…

 

For those who desire to improve their financial management skills, the pathway to doing so resides inside of you!  For those who have a limited view of their future as it relates to comprehensive financial planning the pathway to success can seem daunting.

 

However it no longer has to be that way!

 

Successfully managing your credit and finances has been seen as the way to move forward and share wealth with future generations.  However, even that has come under fire lately as the current economy does not allow even those who want to manage their finances effectively the opportunity to do so in a manner that serves their and their family’s best interest.

 

It is important that you have the necessary financial management skills that are needed to manage your credit and finances effectively in the times that we now live in because if you lack the necessary skills you can put yourself and your family on the wrong path toward success.

 

It is a proven fact that if you lack the financial management skills that are required in today’s economic climate—you will lack the ability to manage your finances at a level that serves you and your family in the most beneficial manner possible.

 

So what will protect you and your family now and in the future when the economy experiences a downturn. In a word or two—financial skills—that can really give you the impetus to chart your own future in a style and manner that serves your and your family’s best interest.

 

Those who achieve success on a consistent basis possess certain skills that are necessary for success in any  economy.  Consumers now need certain skills that will propel them forward toward the lifestyle that they desire.

 

Most consumers who take control of their finances find that they should have not only done it a long time ago—but they should have acquired the skills of “wise money management” at a much earlier age.

 

If you lack the necessary skills to manage your credit and finances you must realize that you are at a real disadvantage from those who choose to manage their finances wisely.

 

The major question that you must now ask and begs to be answered is—do what I want at this time supersede the effort that I am willing to expend to make the management and improvement of my finances happen at this time?

 

The solution to effectively managing your credit and finances may require hard work!  Are you willing to expend the required effort?  In addition you may have to change your approach to reach your goals and you must realize upfront that many try to shield themselves from changing into what they should be—and what they could be because they see the task ahead as being too difficult.

 

Don’t let that be you!

 

You must realize that change is required if you truly desire to improve your financial management skills and positively respond to any adversity that comes your way—as success requires that you change to a more adaptive personality—and move in the direction of where success lives!

 

In the midst of your pain—you must visualize your future gain!  You must realize that if you approach your future in the right way—success will be there to stay!

 

It is also important that you realize that what you want to do may not be the answer—real effort will be required of you if you desire to make your dreams come true!  The solution that you are looking for often resides in hard work, expended effort, your ability to accept change and your ability to readily adapt to that change when you know that it will produce the desired outcome—or the outcome that you need to achieve.

 

If critics are accurate in their portrayal of what you present—you must respond positively to that criticism and move forward.

 

Never let the opinions of others deter you from reaching your goals!

 

If you lack the skills that are necessary to manage your finances effectively it is important that you realize that no one else will really care—generally speaking.  It is up to you to come up with a plan that will see you through—and make your dreams come true.

 

Would you rather be one who manages their credit and finances by guesswork or would you want to have a certain level of certainty about your future—and how you can enjoy it?

 

Wouldn’t you rather have the skills that are necessary to manage your finances for the rest of your life—or do you prefer living in uncertainty for an uncertain period of time?

 

You must be able to get results for yourself and your family with the financial management system that you choose—and not just be there for the ride to advance others.

 

Many consumers know that they lack the necessary financial management skills yet many are reluctant to try to correct that situation due to fear, being too cautious, thinking they lack the ability, frustration, worry and other factors that they feel they can’t control.

 

Those who have been managing their finances effectively for years are often the least reluctant to share their management style.

 

As a consumer it is important to realize that effectively managing your finances can be done successfully by obtaining the skills that are needed and applying them effectively in your daily life. If you demonstrate the ability to manage your credit and finances effectively you can pass it on to your future generations and start on a real path to success that has no limit.

 

Conclusion

 

It is important that you realize that your future financial success comes down to a few basic steps:

 

 

 

 

You can’t just dream or wish for it to happen—you must put a realistic written plan in place to make it happen—in time certain!   Are you now convinced that you have the skills to make your credit and financial dreams come true? Most people are not—however you can change that now by navigating this site on a consistent basis.

 

Keep in mind that your success can occur sooner than you think if you make the choice—RIGHT NOW to gain the SKILLS that are necessary to manage your finances for the rest of your life.

 

If you are truly sincere in gaining the necessary skills to manage your credit and finances you can change your future to that of TRUE success right now.

 

Are you ready to pursue real success?

 

  • Yes, I can and I will

 

  • I’m not sure

 

  • I have my doubts

 

Make the appropriate choice and success can be on the way and the skills that you desire and need can be in your mind to stay…

 

As someone who has been in the financial planning industry for 20 plus years I have every bit of confidence that you can transform your future and gain the necessary skills that are needed to make the rest of your life enjoyable and pleasurable regardless of your money management personality.

 

We have assisted many in the past towards financial success and you too can achieve just that—if you really WANT to achieve just that.

 

Always realize that success lives in you—if you believe it to be true!

We wish you untold success—regardless of what you choose to do!

 

We know from the past responses of consumers from all walks of life that you can improve your financial management skills from where you are now at to a very high level.

 

What separated the successful from the unsuccessful was the quality of the information that they received on a consistent basis—whether it was from family, friends, media, websites, books, blogs or any other source that provided high quality information that  took their mind and thought process to a much higher level.

 

If you make the choice right now—right where you are—you can go very far—and achieve above par!

 

Challenge yourself to do more at this time by improving your financial management skills and pursuing your future goals and objectives with the clarity and focus that you need and deserve.  Keep in mind the hardest thing that you will do is determining that you really want to improve your financial management skills and putting a sincere plan in place to do just that!

Bankruptcy & Wealth Accumulation

 

It is important that you realize that if you are facing difficult times—and you are considering filing bankruptcy—you must determine if filing is truly the best option for you to take.

 

If you now find yourself in a FINANCIAL BUBBLE you must take appropriate action if you are to avoid FUTURE TROUBLE!

 

Should I file Bankruptcy at this Time…

 

Are you now Broke on a routine basis and are you Unable to pay your monthly Bills on time?  Is the Balance on your monthly outstanding bills more than your monthly income?  Are you suffering from job Loss or a reduction of monthly income or are you Experiencing a major financial crisis such as high medical expenses, foreclosure, car repossession, eviction notice—or anything else that is making your future difficult to confront?

 

Do you have a false sense of where you are at financially?  You may be able to correct all of that if you confront what you need to confront in the appropriate manner.  You must not let confusion and uncertainty rule your future and you must have a clear view of whether filing bankruptcy is right for you!

 

Now is the time that you burst through your FINANCIAL BUBBLE and achieve the type of success that you always dreamed of in your heart and mind!

 

How to Determine if Bankruptcy is Right For Your Situation

 

Your analysis must start with analyzing your income and your expenses.  Is your total debt higher than your total income?

Does your monthly income exceed your monthly debt—or is there a shortfall.  For example—your monthly income is $4,000 but your monthly expenses total $4,500.

 

Are you currently juggling your credit cards to pay off debt—or meet your other monthly living expenses? 

 

Do you use high interest products (payday loans, title loans, pawn shop loans, borrow from others etc.) to pay your monthly bills—or meet your living expenses?

 

Are you currently unable to pay your monthly bills on time?

 

Have you recently loss your job, had your hours or income reduced—or have you recently faced a major financial crisis due to mounting medical expenses, foreclosure—or notice of default on your home or auto loan—or any other major crisis?

 

In spite of facing the above—do you have a future windfall (additional income such as retirement, social security, insurance proceeds, legal settlement—or anything else) that you are expecting that could possibly turn your situation around?

 

If not, your credit may already be damaged—and bankruptcy should be considered as a real option—if  you do not see a way to pay your debt off in the next five years or so!

 

Keep in mind that even if you turn over the keys to your house to the lender (friendly foreclosure) they can still come after you for the deficiency (shortfall) unless you settle with the lender—and include in the foreclosure “no recourse for the deficiency” and they agree to it—keep in mind that it must be done appropriately to withhold legal scrutiny.

 

By discharging your home loan through bankruptcy—the lender would not be able to come after you for the deficiency (shortfall).

 

Always keep in mind the fact that you may not be able to discharge child support orders—student loans or income taxes that you may owe, however you may be able to renegotiate them to more favorable terms.

 

Also keep in mind that damaged credit and/or filing bankruptcy may make your job seeking efforts more difficult, therefore if you are looking for a job—or considering a job change—be sure to maintain adequate credit if you can. 

 

However, for those who are beyond that point—and find meeting their monthly expense obligations difficult at this time—be sure to consider bankruptcy as a possible solution.

 

Keep in mind however, that it may not be the only solution, nor may it be the best solution for your particular situation.

 

You must look at your situation from all angles, therefore be sure to get several opinions (nacba.com) from competent professionals—prior to actually filing bankruptcy.

 

Also keep in mind that you will have to make a “sincere effort” to learn  wise money management habits after you file bankruptcy—so that you don’t find yourself in a similar position in the future.

 

This website—and other education will put you on solid footing where you can build a foundation that is strong and will better serve your and your family’s future concerns.

 

If you have high credit card debt that you have fallen behind on paying, you have fallen behind on paying your home mortgage loan or auto loan—and those amounts exceed your monthly income—and you are having difficulty meeting your monthly living expenses—you may be one who could really benefit from bankruptcy!

 

Many have fallen into hard times by poorly managing their finances and you now have an opportunity to avoid that pitfall in your future or start on a path to improving your situation—if you make the choice to do so at this time.

 

Final Thoughts on Bankruptcy & Wealth Accumulation

 

Filing bankruptcy is not only a major decision—it is often a difficult one and one that you must approach with caution.  You must consider bankruptcy in a timely manner so that it can be used by you and your family—more effectively.

 

While considering bankruptcy you must know in your heart and mind whether  filing bankruptcy is right for you and your situation.  You must realize that the adversity or what caused you to consider filing bankruptcy is only temporary and will not cause long-term harm if you look at it from the vantage point that it is only a challenge to see if you can dig deep within and achieve much more in your life.

 

You must realize that all things happen for the good if you remain strong minded, strong willed, strong-hearted and you have the mindset and spirit that you can not only overcome—but achieve far more in your future!.

 

You cannot do like many who wait too late to file for bankruptcy—and often deplete their retirement and other accounts (retirement accounts such as 401k’s, 403b’s, IRA’s etcetera—are protected from creditors) prior to filing and put themselves in an even deeper financial hole.

 

We have seen many take what they thought to be decisive action—and the right action as it relates to their finances and in the end still end up filing bankruptcy.

 

It is important that you not make the same mistake!

 

It is imperative that you get competent professional advice upfront—and don’t be afraid to get several opinions as the decision that you make will affect you and your family for years.

 

Of course the best advice is to get the right advice from the first professional you choose—however in the current corrupt and litigious marketplace that we now live in—advice on multiple fronts is usually the best approach!

 

We are hopeful that this discussion has given you meaningful direction and you will use this discussion as a launching pad to start on a path of managing your credit and finances in a highly efficient and effective manner!

 

You must live your life daily knowing with certainty that any obstacle that comes your way (even filing bankruptcy if it is in your best interest to do so) will not affect your future plans in a negative way and will not cause you undue delay.

 

You must know deep within that the success that you desire will not only come your way—you must also know what you need to do every day.  It is the desire of TheWealthIncreaser.com that you overcome from any adversity that you will face—and take your success to the right place!

Car Buying Strategies for Building Wealth

Learn Why You Must Properly Prepare for Your Car Purchase by Obtaining the Needed Knowledge on the Front End

 

On this day I felt the topic of car buying was worthy of discussing even though it is an area of wealth accumulation that I don’t usually focus on.  However, with the large number of people that I have seen buy cars in the wrong manner or a manner that is adverse to their long-term success—I felt it was now time to address this topic in a manner that could better serve those who are considering buying or leasing a car at this time.

 

 

Proven Car Buying Strategies for those in Various Financial Positions

 

Whether you decide on a new car, a used car or you decide to lease—you must choose in a wise manner!  In this discussion we will address car buying in the following areas:

 

 

Car Buying Options:

 

 

  • Purchase car from a dealer

 

  • Purchase car from a private seller

 

  • Lease car from a dealer (ok—not technically a buying option)

 

  • Occasional rental of car (again—not technically a buying option but may be helpful for your situation)

 

 

Purchasing Car from a Dealer

 

You can choose to “purchase a new or used car from a dealer” and you would want to have the right preparation and knowledge on the front end before even entering the dealership.

 

You would want to know the make and model that you were considering, the mileage if used, the yearly maintenance costs and the blue book price prior to going to the dealership.

 

You would also want to know your credit position and credit score, have your own financing in place and know all of the fees involved at that particular dealership.

 

Tag, Title and Taxes (3Ts) is fairly commonplace at most dealers, however many dealers also have additional fees so be sure you know what they are and/or be prepared to negotiate them out or take your business elsewhere.

 

Be aware of dealerships that offer to finance your vehicle as there are often language in the financing that works against (such as can’t pay loan off early without penalty, high interest rate or terms, a number of references required and many other terms and conditions) your best interests.

 

Purchasing Car from a Private Seller

 

Purchasing a car from a private seller varies depending on your Country and from state to state in the United States. In the State of Georgia private sales are now taxed at the state level.  Private sales can be a great bargain if you do your homework and you are properly positioned to purchase.

 

Again, you want to get your own financing upfront—or if paying cash be sure you know the true market value of the vehicle you are purchasing, the mileage on the vehicle you are purchasing and be sure to have the vehicle thoroughly inspected by a qualified auto technician prior to purchase.

 

In addition, be sure that you are purchasing from a responsible party who has properly taken care of the car by maintaining and driving the vehicle appropriately. You don’t want to purchase from a  “speed demon” or someone who has improperly maintained the vehicle.

 

In Georgia and many other states a bill of sale would normally consummate a sale between a private seller and a buyer—and in many states the vehicle is sold As Is with no “Implied Warranty.” Many sellers will include the AS-IS statement on the bill of sale or attached document and also state that there is no “Implied Warranty” whatsoever. The Certificate of Title would normally be signed over from the seller to the buyer.

 

Tag and Title Application would be applied for through the Department of Revenue (DOR) in many states so that you could get the new tag and new title that would provide ownership proof.  If you had a loan (lender involved purchase from a private seller) and purchased from a private seller—the lender would receive title and upon payoff of the loan you would then receive title.

 

Leasing Car from a Dealer

 

If you were uncertain as to whether leasing or buying would be more advantageous to you at this time you would want to compare whether leasing or buying was the best car option for you based on your mileage usage on an annual basis and other factors.

 

You must effectively run the numbers based on your expected annual mileage, your expected down payment and your expected monthly payment and other fees and determine if it is in your best interest to lease at this time.

 

You can normally shave several hundred dollars per month off a normal (financed) payment and based on your car usage patterns you may find that leasing is a better option for you than buying.

 

Occasional Rental of Car

 

You may determine that you have no need to purchase a vehicle and an occasional rental of a car may suit your intended goals.

 

If you live in a city where public transit is adequate you may be in position to rent occasionally for trips out of town, grocery shopping and the like and not have a need to buy or lease a vehicle.

 

Many cities now offer car rental kiosks at reasonable prices to those who qualify.

 

 

Final Thoughts on Car Buying in the Current—or Any Economy

 

 

  • Be sure to search online for the review and ratings of the car model that you anticipate purchasing or leasing—consider certified pre-owned and warranties especially if buying used

 

  • Be sure you are aware of road-test scores, fuel economy and whatever else you consider important to your driving habits and comfort

 

  • If purchasing new or used be aware of the best and worst cars available and avoid purchasing the worst at all costs

 

  • Be aware of the reliability ratings on the model that you are considering purchasing

 

  • Be aware of the yearly maintenance costs on the vehicle that you are considering for purchase

 

  • Be sure to pay particular concern of test results for safety, braking, real-world fuel economy and ride comfort

 

It is important that you accurately determine the market value of the vehicle that you are considering for purchase or lease.  You can use kelly blue book, edmonds.com, autotrader.com, carfax.com, truecar.com and other car sites to determine market value and get other reviews on the vehicle that you are considering for purchase or lease.

 

In addition be sure to purchase at the “right time” as car dealers and private sellers will increase the price when they know that money is readily circulating in the economy such as during the tax season, during economic stimulus times and any other time that they know that money is rapidly circulating in the economy (during boom times).

 

A better approach may be to purchase later, however by doing the research above and utilizing the knowledge that you will gain you can make the car buying experience a rewarding one for you and your family—regardless of the time of purchase.

 

 Other Car Buying Tips

 

Consider purchasing a new car every 10 years and invest the savings that you would be making for the car payment.   For example after the payment of a 60 month car loan at $500 per month in five years continue saving or investing the $500 payment in your retirement accounts or outside of your retirement accounts depending on your future goals.  By doing so that relatively painless strategy could provide you the cushion that you need so that you can live out your retirement years more abundantly.

 

If you are in a strong cash position and have addressed all areas of your finances effectively consider purchasing your vehicle with cash from a private seller or dealer.  Use your imagination and creativity to find other creative ways that you can make car purchasing or car leasing work better for your long-term interests.

 

Be sure not to over purchase on your home and auto and become house and car rich but cash poor.  You must ensure that you have money left over on a monthly basis to pay your house/rent payment and car payment and enjoy life at a comfortable level as well as save for your future.  Keeping your monthly debt at 50% or less of your income and having a six month emergency fund at a minimum in place will help mitigate against future emergencies whether car related or otherwise.

 

We have seen many purchase luxury cars and too much house and when major repairs were needed they had to borrow to repair due to an insufficient emergency fund reserve and high monthly debt.

 

Although they appeared to be living a lavish lifestyle many were living on the margins and when an unforseen  occurrence happened they found themselves in a difficult position.

 

Do your best to avoid that scenario in your life by keeping your finances in balance and making major purchases in a wise manner.

 

Regardless of the approach that you take be sure to follow the steps outlined in this discussion at a minimum—and additional steps if your car purchase situation warrants that you do so. Always keep safety and reliability in mind as you do not want to have breakdowns and other issues on the roadway.

 

It is the desire of TheWealthIncreaser.com that this discussion will help you if you are now contemplating a car purchase or you desire to prepare your mind now for a car purchase in your future.

Maine Whitewater Rafting

Guest Post by Matthew Polstein on 01/29/2015

 

 Learn About Maine Whitewater Rafting

 

Written by Matthew Polstein of www.neoc.com

 

 

Matthew Polstein is a registered Maine Guide. He is also the owner of the New England Outdoor Center which he founded in 1982. A pioneer of the Maine Whitewater Rafting Industry, you will usually find him paddling a river somewhere.

In Maine, whitewater rafting is enjoyed on our 3 main rivers: The Penobscot River, The Kennebec River and The Dead River. The Penobscot River is the second longest river system in Maine and the longest entirely in the state with a total length (including East and West Branch) of over 260 miles.

 

The portion of the Penobscot River that people whitewater raft on flows from Chesuncook Lake through Ripogenus Gorge and takes rafters through 11 named rapids including Exterminator, the Staircase and Big Heater, then on to the narrow shoots and big drops of the Cribworksand also include Big Ambejackmockamus Rapids, Nesowadnehunk Falls, and Abol and Pockwockamus Falls. The rapids over the 14 mile stretch are class I-V making it the most technical rafting river in Maine.

 

The Kennebec River is located in the heart of Maine and is 170-miles long. It rises in Moosehead Lake in west-central Maine and flows to the sea from there winding across the middle of the state. The portion of the Kennebec River where whitewater rafting occurs is named The Forks. This section of the river includes 12 miles of fast, deep water that flows daily and includes the upper Kennebec gorge thrilling roller coaster waves of Big Mama and the Three Sisters, then plunge into boiling Magic Falls.

 

 

The rapids on the Kennebec are class I-IV. The Dead River, sometimes called the West Branch, is a 42.6-mile-long river in central Maine. Its source is Flagstaff Lake, where its two main tributaries, South Branch Dead River and North Branch Dead River, join. It flows generally east to join the Kennebec River at The Forks.

 

 

It is a popular river for whitewater rafting and is dam controlled from Flagstaff Lake. The water release levels range from 1200 to 7000 ft³/s and range in difficulty from easy class II to class IV+. The length of the run is 15 miles (24 km) from the put-in at Spencer Stream to the take-out at West Forks with no easy access by road. Big whitewater is released only 10 times a year on The Dead and the river comes alive when spring run-off causes flooding and also in the fall when the lakes are drawn down to get ready for winter. Who can go whitewater rafting in Maine?

 

Pretty much anyone who enjoys the outdoors and is looking for adventure can. Whitewater rafts in Maine typically hold an eight-person crew and a guide. Most rivers in Maine have a limit on the number of people who can raft on a daily basis. Outfitters typically provide helmets, lifejackets, registered guides, rafts and paddles and usually will prepare some sort of river lunch for their guests. In the post trip section outfitters provide a slideshow or video of your trip.

 

Prices vary and range from $65 to $130 per person. When does whitewater rafting happen in Maine? The season on the Penobscot and Kennebec begins in late April and ends in mid-October. Controlled daily dam releases from hydropower dams on these rivers guarantee water levels throughout the season, even during the driest summers.

 

 

The Dead River has seven high-water release days of more than 5,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) in the spring and fall.  Whitewater Guide License Requirements (1) Anyone who seeks to work as a guide is required to obtain a Maine whitewater guide license and be employed by a licensed whitewater outfitter.

 

 

These requirements are state law and are in place to protect the people of the state. If a member of the public pays dues or fees or provides any form of compensation to a person or persons for providing whitewater-rafting services or for operating a whitewater rafting organization, the trip is commercial.

 

A whitewater trip would also be a commercial trip if a licensed whitewater guide received any remuneration for accompanying, assisting or instructing passengers on the river on whitewater trips. It is unlawful to hire an unlicensed Maine whitewater guide or outfitter to supply a commercial trip or to hire a licensed Maine guide who is working independently from a licensed Maine outfitter.

Dedication & Wealth Accumulation

Learn why maintaining a high level of Dedication is a Key to Wealth Accumulation

 

As you put together your plan to achieve your future goals you must realize fully on the front end that you must be dedicated to achieving what you desire.

Enjoy the links below—and the rest of this page—as we are certain that major success lies in the horizon for you and your family!

Imagination & Personal Finance—Learn why you must Dream Big—as you pursue your goals

Knowledge & Personal Finance—Learn why you must have the right knowledge if you are to attain true success

 

Preparation & Personal Finance—Learn how you can prepare your mind for the success that you desire

 

You can aim high or you can aim low—no one else can control your aim—as it is you who are in control of how you feel about yourself and the direction that your life can and will take!

 

Did you know that you are worth what you think you are worth and you can set goals that are meaningful and significant or you can set mediocre goals that will not take you where you need to be?

 

In this day and age consumers are being pulled in many different directions when it comes to their credit and finances.

 

Mixed messages are often sent by many—so how do you decipher through all of the noise to find information and advice that can truly move you and your family forward?

 

In the area of taxes you consistently hear rhetoric about eliminating the IRS, creating a flat tax system and other emotionally charged language about changing the financial structure of this country that are designed to spur the emotions that lie within you.

 

Whether Democrat, Independent, non-voter or Republican—you must understand that much of what you hear is basically rhetoric and political grandstanding as neither party is serious about eliminating the IRS.

 

From 2001 to 2006 the Republican party controlled all three levels of government and the Supreme Court to a more or lesser degree—and at that time you saw no determined movement to abolish the IRS despite them having the power to do so.

 

Currently the democrats control one of the three branches of government and if they wanted to abolish the IRS they could get the ball moving and gain bi-partisan support, however you see no movement to do so—and you won’t!

 

Although both parties talk about the unfairness of the IRS—it is congress who has implemented many of the rules and guidelines as it relates to credits, deductions and other tax shelters that benefit select groups of taxpayers—including themselves!

 

Whether you perceive your current situation to be caused by others, a lack of income, where you were born/raised—or any other factor, it is important that you have a view (and you actually do so) of your future that includes taking personal responsibility (doing what you need to do and not waiting on others to do it for you)!

 

I basically state all of that to say that for the most part the “actions of others” are out of your control as you either can’t do anything about it or you won’t do anything about it, and those in power have no real desire to abolish the IRS or do other functions that you may feel are in the best interest of the public!

 

However, you can do a lot about what you have under your control—and if you get your A I M right you can move forward in a more efficient and effective manner.

 

A—ttitude

 

I—ntellect

 

M—otivation

 

If you can get your A I M right (which you have absolute control over) you can pay off your outstanding consumer debt, retire in abundance, take that vacation that you always dreamed of—or attain any other goal(s) or objective(s) that you and your family may desire.

 

It is important that you cultivate an Attitude that will lead to success on a consistent basis and you use your brainpower  (Intelligence) appropriately—and you stay Motivated at a high level!

 

Did you know that your Attitude—or the way that you think and feel about someone or something—including how you look at and think about yourself and your finances—or a feeling or way of thinking that affects your behavior—or an expression of favor or disfavor toward a person, place, thing, or event is a key factor in determining your future success in many facets of your life?

 

It is important that you realize that what holds most people back is that they blame others or make excuses—when they themselves actually have the power to transform their situation to that of real and lasting success!

 

You must realize that the right Attitude allows you to control your outcomes and not blame others!  A mindset of personal responsibilty provides you the opportunity to manage distractions and attain the future success that you desire—in all areas of your life!

 

If you do what you are required to do you can advance forward—whether you did or did not cause your current situation!  You must have the mindset that asks—what can I do to make my dreams come true?  The right Attitude allows you to ask that question and answer it correctly and also puts your mind and thought process on a path to take—the right action on a more consistent basis!

 

Did you know that how you use your Intelligence in terms of the many different ways that you use your logicabstract thoughtunderstanding, self awarenesscommunicationlearningemotions,  knowledgememoryplanning, and problem solving etcetera—is a key factor in determining your future success in many facets of your life?

 

You possess inside the knowledge (or you will soon possess) of what you can do to make your dreams come true.  By approaching your credit and finances in a more intelligent manner you will greatly increase the odds of success in your future!

 

By attacking your credit and finances intelligently you understand fully that it is your responsibility to do what you need to do to see your way through—and you realize fully that it is never to your benefit to blame others or anything outside of yourself!

 

What are the future goals that I desire for myself—and my family?  What can I do to improve my A I M?

 

Did you know that the Motivation that lies within you is the driving force that causes you to “move to action” in a sincere manner and is a major determinant of your future success in all areas of your life?

 

Your Motivation for doing things causes you to optimize your well-being, minimize your physical painand maximize your pleasure.

 

Your Motivation can also originate from your specific physical needs such as eating, sleeping or resting, and other factors!

 

Motivation is an inner drive to behave or act in a certain manner.  Your inner conditions such as your wishes, your desires and your goals, activate you to move to action in a particular manner!

 

Your motivation initiates, guides and maintains goal-oriented behaviors that you now have or that you may have in the future.

 

Motivation is what causes you to act, whether it is getting a glass of water to reduce your thirst or reading and comprehending this site to gain the knowledge that you needto succeed!

 

Motivation requires that you use the biological, emotional, social and cognitive forces within you that activate behavior that moves you toward what you desire.

 

In everyday usage, the term motivation is frequently used to describe why you would do something.

 

For example, you might say that you are motivated to master the material on this page so that you can live your life on your terms—not on the terms of creditors and others who have no real concern for your future.  By doing so you can put yourself and your family in position to do what you really desire in your future!

 

As you pursue your goals you must never be disappointed by what you expect and you must never stop too soon as you can go further—you can push harder—your motivation must endure and you must ultimately expect success in your future!

 

Who says that you’ve done enough or accomplished enough?   Why stop now?    You can go higher and higher—the “right movement” creates positive momentum—consistent motivation and goal setting helps propel that momentum!

 

What goals are you motivated towards accomplishing at this time?

 

 

You must never settle too quickly for too little!  You must recognize success by the works that you provide and the success that you attain! 

 

Did you know that people can see your worth by the works that you do—not what you proclaim (their eyes will be opened)?

 

A high level of motivation causes you to taste it and see it!  Your actions and your movement toward your future goals must be so sincere—that it provides all that and more!

 

Gifts…talents…abilitiespeace and joy…you have all of that—and more within you—now is the time that you gain the knowledge of what you need to do!

 

You must realize that no one can make you read financial advice that is good for you—but financial advice can be made available that can provide you with what you need to succeed—for you and others who are motivated toward achievement at a high level and those who sincerely want to obtain empowering advice that can lead to lasting success!

 

What is inside of you that you can use to make your dreams come true?  By having the mindset that you will take personal responsibility in all that you do—the power that is needed to transform your situation will be presented to you—if you do what you need to do!

 

It is important that you use adversity that you may feel is happening to you for your and your family’s future benefit and you use Motivation to respond positively to that adversity!

 

It is also important to look at adversity from the vantage point that adversity is happening for you (your future benefit) as opposed to happening to you (why me)!

 

On this page I have tried to put together powerful information that you can learn in basic understandable English and apply in your everyday life to help you attain a very high level of lasting success—and improve your A I M!

 

Are you now just merely surviving (living for the now) or are you prospering (attaining success at a level that you can leave behind something for your heirs)?

 

Are you looking at new and more empowering ways of thinking and doing things or are you caught up in learning and doing things in the same manner as you did in the past because it is more comfortable to you—but not more comfortable for you?

 

It is important that you realize that change within your mind must occur if you are to prosper (attain a higher level of success that provides you more than merely surviving) and achieve the type of success that you need to attain—or the type of success that you desire to attain!

 

Did you know that at times what you need to do to improve your credit and finances may be difficult for your ears to hear, your eyes to see and your heart and mind to accept?  Even if you don’t like hearing or seeing it—you must still address what needs to be addressed!

 

Developing your heart and mind to where it needs to be financially is no walk at the beach, however it is something that you must do—if you desire to make your financial dreams come true!

 

Setting meaningful goals and taking the right actions consistently will get you to where you need to be in a much more efficient manner than if you fail to do so!

 

You must get to a point where you will not make excuses!  You cannot do like 90% of the population and make excuses—or give reasons—and never utilize their gift appropriately or attain their life purpose!

 

Now is the time that you not only obtain a breakthrough in your thinking—but now is the time that you use that breakthrough to make great things happen in your life!  Do it not only for your benefit—but your family’s and future generations yet unborn!

 

Now is the time for a mental re-awakening where you operate from the vantage point of success in all that you do!  Now is the time that you take action and do what will lead to success and not do what the other 90% do—which only leads to survival!

 

By landing on this page, you have much of what you need to succeed!  Now is the time to get it done without procrastination so that you can truly reach your destination.  And it will be due in large part because you AIMed high so that you could exceed the sky!

 

By taking the right AIM at this time, you can reach your credit and financial destination and leave a lasting legacy for the next generation!

 

Be sure to put your goals in writing and be sure to A I M high—so that you can exceed the sky!

 

You must always realize that you can achieve any goal as long as you believe and as long as you approach your future with the right—A ttitude—I ntellect—and M otivation—or by having the right—A I M—on a consistent basis!

 

By taking responsibility for your future you will improve your A I M and you won’t blame others or forces that you feel are beyond your control  Quite the contrary, you know that the power to do what needs to be done rests where it should be—inside of your heart and mind!

 

You must always realize that you are bigger than any adversity that you have faced—are now facing—or that you may face in your future!

 

You cannot let the adversity that you may face define you or destroy your determination and commitment level—quite the contrary—you must gain strength from the adversity that you will face and move forward in a positive and inspiring manner and with a very high level of motivation.

 

By setting meaningful goals and having every intention on reaching those goals—you will gain the strength that you need—to really succeed!

 

You will position your mind to gain the needed knowledge to move in the DIRECTION where SUCCESS lives—and it will be due in large part because you made the choice to A I M high at the right TIME!

 

We wish you untold success in your and your family’s future!

 

All the best as you AIM for a higher level of success and finally put procrastination to rest…

Re-focusing Your Mind for Success—5 Steps that you can take to work towards your financial success®

This article was featured on Yahoo Finance in 2014

5 Steps That You Can Take Now to Reach Financial Success

 

It is important that you realize that regardless of where you are now at—you can re-focus your mind for success or adjust your mind and daily habits to achieve more in your life.  You possess the ability to achieve at a much higher level on a daily basis and it all starts with using your mind and heart in more engaging and creative ways!

 

As it relates to your personal finances you can do so by being more conscious of your actions in the following areas:

 

1) Being more Aware of your financial outlook

2) Being more Mature about your finances

3) Having a Secure outlook about your future

4) Being of high Character at all times

5) Having an Action mindset on a daily basis

 

 Re-focusing Your Mind For Success By Increasing Your Financial Awareness

 

  • Awareness

 

You must be aware of what is going on and occurring in your financial life on a consistent basis.  You must take a “big picture” view of what is occurring in your financial life and it does not have to be made difficult if you have the right approach.  Are you AWARE of your monthly income and expenses?

 

Do you know your annual income and do you know your outstanding debt?  Do you know your net worth?

 

Do you know how to manage your credit effectively at this time?

 

Do you know all of the areas of your finances that you NEED to address or is it difficult for you to put them all together at this time in a logical manner in your mind?

 

You must have a highly effective mental system that you can carry within your mind that allows you to do all of the above on the front end—if you desire to maximize your future success!

 

Even if you do know all of the areas (most people don’t)—just knowing is not enough—you must have a systematic approach for improving in all of the above mentioned areas in a manner that will give you the results that you desire or  the results that you need to achieve.

 

Not being aware of any or all of the above could be adding unneeded stress and anxiety to your life that you could be living without.  If only you were AWARE of what you needed to know as it relates to your personal finances and you had an efficient manner for managing what you were aware of—you could significantly reduce the stress in your life.

 

Re-focusing Your Mind For Success By Being More Financially Mature

Final Thoughts on Re-focusing Your Mind for Success

 

You can develop the right habits that are needed for consistent success if you have the determination and commitment level that is needed to “re-focus your mind” on what is important to your future success.  You must have a “heightened awareness” as it relates to your finances and not be like others that you may be around who are only “going through the motions” and are not AWARE of what is “really” going on around them in their financial life.

 

You don’t have to live monthly with uncertainty about what you can and can’t do!  You don’t have to mismanage your credit and pay creditors huge amounts of interest while you sit by and earn paltry returns.  You don’t have to have a confused mind about how to address all areas of your finances in an appropriate manner.

 

You must approach your finances in a more intelligent, consistent and proactive manner (a more MATURE manner) if you desire to achieve at a high level and truly reach the goals that you desire.

 

You must have a SECURE outlook about your future and you must get a feeling on the inside of you that says in a sincere way—I CAN DO THIS and I WILL DO THIS!

 

As you pursue your goals you must always be of high CHARACTER and you must know that by pursuing your goals in a righteous manner—you can achieve more—and you can do more during your lifetime!

 

You must have an ACTIVE MINDSET as by having one you can do more and achieve more.  Whether you now know it or not—you have the ability to achieve much more on a daily basis and it all starts with  you thinking that you can do more—putting a plan in place to do more—and then actually doing more by taking action.

 

The active use of your mind will allow you to “re-focus on what you need to focus on” at a higher level of thought and will take you towards the future goals that you desire for yourself and your family—at a much faster pace than if you did not do so.

 

You must from this point forward realize that it is “your responsibility” to be aware of what needs to be done in your financial life.  Even if you are immature in other areas of your lifenow is the time to approach your finances in a mature manner.    You are responsible for securing a prosperous future for yourself and your family and you must be of high character as you take that journey.   You are responsible for gaining the right habits that can help you get to where you need or want to go in an efficient manner.

 

You must develop a mindset to take the right action when it is in your best interest to do so!  You must do so in an intense and immediate fashion and really put your heart into it if you desire to achieve at your highest level.

 

You must realize that it is your responsibility to bring into existence a new reality for yourself and your familyand you must fully understand that no one can do it but youand that is as it should beif you are sincere in making your dreams come true!

 

You must understand that even though we have seen many overnight sensationswe have seen far more who operate on a consistent basis over a period of time and achieve great results by doing soand you can do the same if you take the right actionconsistently!
