  • The Internet Business - It's Not For The Lazy
    Everyone wants to be their own boss. What a lot of people dreaming of an internet business don’t know is that they will likely work many, many more hours at their internet business than in a 9 to 5 job.

  • Is Purchasing A Beach Home A Good Idea?
    From the time I was a very little girl I have known of my father’s dream to have a little house by the sea.

While he doesn’t exactly have a house on the beach, he did live on a boat for a while and now resides in the US Virgin Islands. He’s most definitely in easy driving dista...
