- Do You Really Want To Help End Poverty In The U.s. And English-speaking Nations?
By: Bob C. Cleckler | - We often see articles in newspapers or magazines about the shocking extent of poverty in America or some other English-speaking nation. But how often do the articles examine the cause of the poverty? I cannot remember ever seeing such an article. Many persons of influence -- celebrities, educators, and politicians -- bemoan the extent of poverty. Many of them want to help. Some of them actually do help, but the help is almost always something involving providing money or physical items to tempor ...

- Leveraging The Power Of Markets With Microfranchising
By: Curtis Seare | - There has been growing interest lately in the use of market-based solutions to help alleviate poverty across the globe, especially as a result of the successes of the Acumen Fund. Although these kinds of solutions are no panacea, they have opened many opportunities for poverty relief and economic self reliance development that previous approaches (such as regulatory or simple charity) have not been able to accomplish. Market-based approaches have the ability to provide opportunities, change mi ...

- Why There's No Excuse For Poverty And How You Can Claim Your Greatest Asset
By: Dr Barnsley Brown | - I remember someone complaining about how she lost her house because her 7-year Adjustable Rate Mortgage expired and the payment went up. The way this woman was talking, I assumed the payment increased at least a thousand dollars. Curious, I asked her, "Wow, how much did it go up?" and she replied, "One hundred dollars."
She and her husband lost the house for one hundred dollars a month. Now there's just one word that comes to mind for this: Stupidity! For just one hundred dollars, ...

- Understanding The Health Care Debate Part 2
By: William Stephenson | - The problems associated with the exploding costs of health care in the United States are many. First and most importantly, costs are forcing people to choose between cheaper insurance plans that could place a family in jeopardy with the advent of a disastrous illness, while other families are choosing not to insure at all.
The worst position is not a choice at all, but for the estimated 7 million uninsured in the United States that simply cant afford insurance because of their cir ...

- Understanding The Health Care Debate Part 1
By: William Stephenson | - Any serious discussion of health care reform must begin with serious data. The often pronounced number of the uninsured being at 47 million in the United States just doesnt measure up in any serious way. When you start with the Census Bureaus latest statistics from their Current Population Survey of 2007, we find that 45.7 million people were without health insurance. A small correction, but hold on for the rest. Of that 45.7 million, 18 million have incomes over $50,000 a year and presumably ca ...

- The Degrading Paradox Of Welfare
By: Andrew Cort | - When someone speaks out against Welfare, some listeners become indignant and suspect an appalling lack of caring, a lack of charity and humanity. But shallow sentimentality is no substitute for intelligent policies and genuine compassion, and the fact is that our current welfare system treats its recipients - who are mostly black -- as if they were children, as if they were unable to understand the basic facts of a market economy, and as if they were unable to rise above a system of fantastic ex ...

- Overcoming Fear - Your Biggest Challenge
By: Mario Anthony Salvi | - One of the biggest challenges we confront on a daily basis is fear. It seems as soon as we begin to move our lives forward to attain our dreams, fear reveals itself. The sudden nature of its appearance only serves to make us even more terrified and pessimistic.
The challenge of fear isn't always the same. Depending on what it is we want, or want to achieve, there are many types of fear we may experience: fear of commitment, of poverty, of rejection or of change, fear of success an ...

- Five Minutes To Financial Freedom? Yes, It Can Be Done, Here Is How
By: Mercedes Oestermann van Essen | - If you are sceptical about bold claims like the above I don't blame you. You are probably wondering how anyone can get themselves out of a financial mess which probably took many years to get into? Your scepticism is justified, but wrong.
Let me explain: When you do not make headway with financial issues it is not so much due to outside circumstances that are out of your control, but something you are doing inside of your head that makes you miss opportunities or go for the wrong ...

- Poverty In Africa
By: Jeff Stats | - Poverty is a scary word for a lot of people. It resembles a disease which gets into every organ and kills it from inside. There is an easy cure to this illness-money, but in most cases it's an unreachable dream. There are poor people in every country in the world; however the extent of their poverty varies greatly from country to country. Taking for instance Switzerland with its profits and per capita earning, even assuming that there is a needy class of people, it is obvious that they have ...

- The Minimum Wage Trap
By: mikey777 | - The sad truth: You can hold a high school diploma and still only make minimum wage. Twelve years of hard work equals $5.85 an hour; the Federal governments idea of a cruel joke. A person making minimum wage earns $12,168 per year working 40 hours a week, which according to the powers that be, is below poverty level in most areas.
Unless you live at home, have no children and are unmarried it is nearly impossible to survive on such low wages. Most of us pay at least $7,000 per y ...

By: Kurt Green | - Last year I attended a conference called the Mindset Mentoring Conference, where a gentleman named Arch Bonnema spoke. He was talking about what God has taught him about giving. Mr. Bonnema and his wife felt the Lord lead them to increase their monthly giving and time substantially. They had just started a new business, and it wasn't the best idea to give more according to the worlds standards. They made the commitment to give anyway. Over the next five years, they went through their entire ...

By: Michael A. Verdicchio | - The cause of poverty is not a lack of money. Does that statement shock you? It's true. A lack of money may be an effect of poverty, but it is not the cause of poverty.
The cause of poverty is poverty thinking. Poverty comes from poverty beliefs and poverty attitudes; it comes from a poverty mindset.
Here's another statement that might shake you. Not having money does not mean you're impoverished. Let me explain. Suppose your checkbook gets all the way to zero. ...

By: Robert Hunt | - We are the architects of our lives and our destiny. Our lives do not hold joy that was not first born in our minds and imagination. Our circumstances are then outwardly crystallized through the power of our thoughts. Unhappiness, illness and failure are born from fear and negative thinking.
Fear is born out of the belief that we do not control our destiny. Don't we all at some point fear there will never be enough money for retirement, or to buy a home or make the next months rent ...
