8. High Credit Card Interest Rates

There are reasons which make credit card interest rates so high. High credit card interest rates make having this kind of debt a bad idea especially if it compounds very quickly after we bought things that quickly lose their value.

Local Thai Fresh Vegetables:
Written by Barry Gourmet & Raw © Copyright September 09 2011.

“It is my hope that after reading this article you will think and look at vegetables in a different way then previously thought of before? “

Photo Description:
This Picture was taken at my local Sea Gypsy Village at the Pier in Rawai Beach Phuket Thailand.
Only about 15 minutes away by Mountain Bike from my home in Chalong ,this wonderful place offers just about everything for the Gourmet in You.

The Thai Sea Gypsy people are indigenous to Phuket ,living many generations on the island by fishing the sea for the seafood restaurants,Thai outdoor open markets, for the Expatriate and Thai Families as well.It is not uncommon for me to stop by on the way back from my Mountain Bike ride to fill my pack sack up with a few fresh vegetables and maybe some fish and seaweed as well. The food will be for todays meals and maybe could carry over to the second day to keep things as fresh as possible.As you can see from the photo this Thai market place is an open air, located beside the sea called the Andaman. When you by your seafood or vegetables or both ,you have the opportunity to have some of your food cooked for you at near by restaurants of your choice.But make sure that you tell the cooks not to make it HOT because if you forget this part , for sure it will come back spicy hot, unless you like it that way? From the distant pier Thai long tail boats or speed boats can be hired to take you to near by islands such as Coral Island for snorkeling and relaxing by the beach.
More than 200 different kinds of vegetables are harvested in Thailand each year.

Thailand is an agricultural country blessed with a bounty of exotic herbs,spices,vegetables,fruits,nuts,seeds and grains.

The Thai venders table shows 4 rows of typical Thai produce that can be seen all over Phuket island.
Starting at the top row from left to right we see, starting with the blue basket of green beans,green pepper corns in the pink basket,Yellow Turmeric root in the pink basket,and a tub each of shrimp paste ,and fish paste fermented. Two bags of soy bean sprouts,Galangal Root (related to Ginger),Asparagus,and Carrots.

Second row from the top ,starting left to right is ,a blue basket of Thai Egg Plant, the red basket has green and red peppers,the pink basket with whole Garlic,followed by Onions.

Third row from the top starting left to right is, more Thai Egg plants,Baby Cucumbers,Medium Cucumbers, two baskets of Tomatoes,followed by a pink basket of Onions.

Fourth row from the top in front of the table is,Phak chi farang,Thai Celery,Spring Onion,Mature Thai Celery,Large Bitter Melons,Giant White Radish ,Thai Long Purple Egg Plant,followed by a green basket of limes and packaged Shiitake Mushrooms. Limes are used more and are much more popular then Lemons in Thai cuisine.Very rare that I see Thai Yellow Lemons in the market place.

Why Buy Organically?

This question gets tossed around for ever , because I believe that first the typical grocery store is selling mostly conventional treated produce for a few decades now, and more and more shoppers today until recently are less complacent about how their food is produced and handled.
And on the other hand, many consumers do not want to pay the higher price for organic ,fruits and vegetables and they believe that simply rinsing and washing conventional produce will take care of the problem. This second point is why I am so compelled to write this article.

I wish that it was that simple but it is not. The stark truth is, that all the washing , rinsing,scrubbing,soaking with biodegradable cleaning agents will not get rid of the pesticides in your produce. This is why!
First our food provides nutrition to us not directly from the actual plant that we eat ,but really from the nutrients mainly from the soil, that the plants root systems are systemically absorbing internally and through out their stems and leaves. Plus our produce feeds off the the air, and the sun creating the green pigment of chlorophyl and fibers that are missing in all our meat products.

For instance in the Laboratories of Bio Tech Science it is common procedure for the scientists to routinely test their pesticide agents by inoculating the plants root systems to create data of the plants absorption rate via the root system in the soil. This method will tell science what efficacy the chemical toxin or pesticide has for making the plant disease and insect resistant.
So we are eating conventional plants that is harmful to nature including insect pests, but its OK for us to eat them in the end?
The problem with this method of controlling nature is simple. When the top soil is stripped of its natural amendments of more than 50 prime and trace inorganic minerals with only 3 from the chemical fertilizing industry , plus on top of this, our soil is saturated repeatedly with chemical pesticides , herbicides,fungicides and human waste with mono agriculture (planting the same crop over the same area year after year) our soil becomes woefully deficient , weakening the plant over time.Did you know that on average the chemical application applied to crops,actually succeeds in killing only 2 % of the targeted insect or pest . The rest of the chemical contaminates our ground water, our rivers,lakes,streams and ultimately our drinking water ,because we are drinking the same water over and over again from millions of years of Earths history.The fact is our water has been on Earth a lot longer than we have, and the water never goes any where ,in fact we are consuming our own recycled water for all time including the agricultural chemical run off.
To recap this means that the chemical is not on the out side of the plant as a residue that most people are made to believe,but actually the toxins are stored inside the whole plant including the skin,pulp stem,leaf and even the seed.Hybrid seed have been chemically treated to with stand pest control ,and you get only at best one crop or a second with less satisfactory results.
The best seed to support and buy are Heirloom Organically saved seeds that has been protected and shared among farmers for centuries. Today this sustainable Organic practice is under threat from the US Governments subsidizing with your tax payers money, Agricultural Chemical industries to control our food choices.When you think about it , the USA congress has more than 14,000 special interest group lobbyists to contend with for 365 days in the year. This is just a short list of the most powerful influential lobby groups as followed, the Chemical industry comprised of Human and Animal Feed Pharmaceuticals,Monsanto GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) Chemical Fertilizer Manufactures,The Bio Tech Industry, FDA,(Food and Drug Administration),AMA,(American Medical Association),all the Food Giants that produce products of Meat ,Dairy, and Processed packaged foods are all linked together in some way or other to control the food industry in such a way that has us believing that it is all good for us.These powerful influential groups have lots of marketing revenue to pay for TV, Radio,Newspaper, magazine,and movie theater adds used for pitching their processed denatured products using clever advertising to get into our heads using famous celebrities,slick 3-D Animations and slogans to promote their image and branding and they know it works.
It works because any given conventional supermarket today anywhere in the world still devotes ,11 isles of meat ,dairy,and packaged processed goods ,to only one or two isles to fresh produce of fruits ,vegetables, nuts,seeds,legumes,herbs,and condiments of Nature.
It is a supply and demand scenario that is playing out,on mass every day we enter the sliding doors of our local grocery store in one grand experiment for our hard earned income.

Conventional soil treated with pesticides against insects, herbicides against unwanted weeds,
Fungicides against Fungus, and Petroleum Based Fertilizers of NPK (Nitrogen , Phosphorus, and Potassium, that only contain 3 prime soil amendments is really unsustainable in the long run. But we know that earths natural fertile soil can contain well over 50 minerals including the essential trace minerals for strong plant health. Over time the chemical treated soil can become more compacted , dry and promote erosion as large parts of China is now experiencing,through the use of this unsustainable practice today. China is the leading the world in Chemical Fertilizer applications right after the USA. It has gotten so bad that now with many Bee colonies collapsing around the world from agricultural chemical use,now in some parts of China the farmers are forced to hand feed their flowers with pollen to grow their harvest as the bees have become extinct in that area.
The problem with conventional agricultural chemical applications is the efficacy is not working.Insects have been around for a very long time ,much longer then us, and they have the ability to adapt to these situations and they mutate and pass their mutated genes off to their offspring to become resistant and immune to the chemical. This forces the Chemical industry to repeatedly, go back to the drawing board,to come up with even more toxic and powerful chemicals that has no end in sight.It becomes a vicious no win situation between man and Nature.The fact is Chemical farming practices are environmentally unsustainable depleting the top soils of our crop lands. And in stark contrast Organic Agricultural practices actually amend the soils with natures biodegradable green composts including bio-diverse marine vegetation to support and to build up our top soils.Our greatest unseen subterranean gardner, the humble Earth Worm is working hard to build tunnels and drainage and to release its castings into the soil to feed , to aerate ,and to add additional drainage to Organic crops root systems. The dry sterile lifeless soil of chemical agriculture has no Earthworms to be found.

The Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturers Association was founded in the year 1897,one hundred and fifteen years ago from 2011. This is a very short time in mans history when you think of how many industrial chemicals with no long terms test results on human populations are now in our own body, plus the thousands that we are exposed to every day of our lives. It is estimated that every human being on Earth today has at least 200 to 500 industrial chemicals , from our water,air,and foods that even though in trace amounts we still do not know what the accumulative effect is on individuals.This kind of exposure was unheard of just a mere 100 years ago before the industrial revolution kicked in to full operation.
More than a hundred years ago ,planet Earth had natural enriched top soil that sustained the human population by Organic means. Back then Organic agriculture was very labour intensive for some crops , and later more innovative ways of increasing crop yields spurred on a new industry to bring short term gains to family farms ,that later mushroomed into very large industrial factory farms that we have today.Today these chemical agricultural Giants , have primarily today replaced many of our ancestral small family farms of the past. But a few are still holding on as Organically grown produce is one of the fastest growing industries supported by a large enough consumer base to keep it going. More people are starting to become aware and informed of their healthy food choices and the information highway has made things easier for the Organic movement to sustain its marketable growth.

A lot of people will not be happy with the following information regarding red meat consumption but the story needs to be told, and the truth needs to be known. The fact is todays meat of every kind in comparison to fruits and vegetables, are much more contaminated with industrial chemicals, heavy metals,antibiotics,growth hormones,parasites,diseased parts,preservatives ,coloring agents,GMO and the list goes on. What Happened ?

"How can we possibly live with Pesticides when we have been living without for millions of years already ? Can Humans Gene pool keep up with the chemical load?"

High Savings Interest Is High Risk in Today’s Inflationary Financial Climate

by eyewash

Seeking high savings interest rates has been a goal for most investors. The question is – Is that philosophy wise in today’s economic climate.

We all get a financial education to some degree or another. Most of us probably start out with a simple bank savings account. Then many will listen to the self-serving advice from the financial industry and governments. We get involved with retirement savings plans and mutual funds. Many will go on to invest in stocks and bonds directly. But you may not realize that 80% of the population right now will not be able to afford to retire and will be forced to keep on working; if they had only taken an investing for beginners course years ago.

The 80/20 rule seems to hold true in the investment arena at every step of the way. Only 20% of the people upon hearing of other ways to invest will get educated in how to actually do it. And 20% of those will have the commitment, the tenacity to achieve real success.

So what’s the next step up the financial ladder? Some will get serious about stocks, some will find the real estate housing sector, some will get serious about commercial real estate and a few may even become developers. There are higher risk areas, such as commodities or Forex trading and a small percentage of people make a fortune in those areas.

There are others who step back and look at a bigger picture. I have mentioned several areas to invest in: cash (savings accounts), mutual funds, stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate etc. All these investment areas go up and down in cycles – from being overvalued to undervalued, relative to each other. A cycle investor continually monitors these cycles and switches from the overvalued areas to the undervalued areas – thus avoiding the inevitable crashes that happen in any given area. Imagine what your net worth would be if you missed all the down turns and only surfed the up waves.

]]>

We all find ourselves today in a very strange cycle. We have to take a further step back and look at the cycles involved with countries, empires and world economics. Economies crash: a walk through thousands of years of history shows this to be true. The really big crashes are so widely spaced in history that few actually get to live though one. I believe we are at just such a point in time!

Empires go through stages in their lives. First a country starts with good money usually backed by gold and silver. Second they institute social programs for the good of the people and taxes start to rise. Third their political influence grows and the fund a massive military. Fourth the military is used and expenses explode. Fifth fiat currencies are introduced to fund the wars and social programs. Sixth consumer price inflation starts to run rampant and the citizens lose faith in the currency. And seventh the currency collapses; wealth is transferred to gold, silver and other assets and major changes have to take place. Today there are several major world powers about to hit step seven at the same time. This has never happened before; usually it is just one country involved. This is the big one.

Of course I’m talking about the US currency, the American dollar. For the first time in history a single nation’s currency is having a worldwide effect since it is the currency of international trade. There are also many other nations with huge debts as well, and they are following the US lead and inflating their economies by printing currency. Many other nations see commodity prices going up, up and up due to the connection to the dollar.

Back to your investments – many people in the world are thinking in terms of the smaller picture. They won’t get it until after it has happened. Those that understand the big picture know this is the granddaddy of all cycles and are scared. A massive wealth transfer is taking place at this moment and will continue for a couple of years. Most middle class families are about to see their wealth wiped out. Those who position themselves in the right asset classes will become wealthy. Many investors are buying silver coins, gold coins, gold bars and silver bars. If you have a mortgage make sure you lock it in at a fixed rate because governments usually raise interest rates when they get serious about fighting inflation.

The time for action is now. Learn what’s happening around you. Take action. The rewards are big for those that do. The risks are huge for anyone doing nothing or following the old fashioned advice of the financial institutions. This situation is unique in history and will not repeat in our lifetimes. Action is required.

What Every Consumer Should Know About a High Yield Online Savings Account

by Joost J. Bakker IJmuiden

People are looking online for ways to make their money work even harder for them.  Fortunately, local, national and online banks are providing consumers with more reasons than ever to save.  A high yield online savings account is just one of the many ways that you can reach your financial goals even sooner.  Here’s what you should know before you sign up.

The Benefits of Compound Interest

One of the best advantages of saving in a high yield online savings account is that you get the benefit of compound interest.  This interest is added to your deposit amount every day, and posted to your account each month.  Compound interest helps you make money on your money.  The more you save, the faster the extra cash adds up.   A high yield online savings account is great for first-time earners, as well as anyone looking to save up for a special purchase, such as a down payment on a car, a new TV or a vacation.   Although a high interest savings account doesn’t pay as high of a rate as a CD, you get the added benefit of being able to make withdrawals and transfers without tying up your funds for a set period of time.  It’s this kind of trade-off between easy access and convenience that makes a high interest savings account an attractive choice for many people.

]]>

Flexible Deposit and Withdraw Arrangements

Ideally, the best high yield online savings account will give you convenient ways to grow your money – and the option to withdraw via an ATM card when you need fast access to cash.  As for deposits, you’ll want to look for a savings account that lets you enroll in direct deposit, mail in your deposit or transfer funds electronically. This added flexibility gives you an even greater incentive to earn while you save.

No Monthly Fees and Overdraft Protection

Finally, a high yield online savings account shouldn’t penalize you with monthly fees and maintenance charges.  Look for a bank that gives you multiple deposit arrangements with no monthly fees.  As long as you have a 0 balance in your high yield online savings account, you shouldn’t have to pay any management or maintenance fees on your account.  You can also link your savings account to other accounts to protect against overdraft charges.  All of these benefits are designed to help you earn money at competitive market rates without eating up your hard-earned savings in extra fees and charges.

Where Can I Find High Interest Money Market Accounts

by code_martial

Everyone wants the best return on their investment, and banks have stepped up to the plate to offer a wide variety of products and services that meet this demand.  So how can you find high interest money market accounts. Read on for important tips to help you get the most for your money.

A Simple Formula

Essentially, the interest paid on money market accounts works similarly to the interest paid on certificates of deposit.  You agree to “loan” the bank your money (by saving it in your money market account), and in return, the bank pays you an interest rate based on how much you’re willing to deposit.  Unlike a CD, money market accounts allow you to make a certain number of withdrawals every month.  This gives you the freedom and flexibility of having access to your money in the event of an emergency or other need.  Because you have the ability to make withdrawals, money market accounts don’t pay as much as CDs (where your money is left alone for a set time period) but the rates are comparable to traditional savings accounts.  High interest money market accounts are also FDIC insured for member banks, meaning they’re backed by the strength and stability of the U.S. government.  This means you are protected up to 0,000, per insured bank, on your investment.

]]>

Comparison Shop

The best way to find high interest money market accounts is to comparison shop.  Go beyond your local or national bank and do some research online.  There are plenty of banking sites which compare money market accounts, and explain the terms and risks up front – so you’ll know approximately how much of a return to expect.  Because the interest rate changes on a daily basis, the bank with the highest rate today could have the lowest rate tomorrow.  That’s why it’s important to look beyond the enticing rates and find a bank that has a high star rating for security and safety as well.

If you want the access ease of a checking account while earning the interest of a savings account, a money market account is the ideal, low-risk choice.  While CD interest rates are higher, money market accounts give you the freedom of accessing your money at any time, for any reason, without paying a penalty for early withdrawal.  Plus, the more you invest in a money market account, the more you can earn and reach your savings goals.  A blend of checking, savings and money market accounts is a great way for beginners to safely invest their funds.  Money market accounts are also beneficial for both short and long term savings goals, as you’ll continue to earn compound interest that has accrued, and have it added to your account every month.

As with any investment, research money market accounts so you understand the value each bank provides.
