Anxiety……… Do You Feel It?

March 10th, 2010

Let’s talk about Anxiety.

I had an email cross my desk that I believe many of us can relate to, some of the obstacles are ones you may be facing now or have in the past.

I’m talking about the anxiety that comes from the stress of not knowing what to do, how to make a different life for yourself and your loved ones.

I can remember a time in my life when I would get bills that I didn’t have the money to pay.

I can remember watching my family members struggling and feeling ANXIETY because I couldn’t help them.

I can remember losing jobs that were paying my bills and not knowing how I’d make ends meet the following month.

I can remember watching family members and friends going through exactly the same thing, wondering when will it end?

In those situations, there was NO QUICK FIX for the anxiety that I or others felt.

Can you relate to this feeling? Do you sometimes ask yourself the same questions?

As I’ve studied the psychology and the PROCESS of creating business and money success, the more I realize that there are problems that you can’t solve instantly.

And the longer they go without being solved, the worse they get.

It’s like a vicious cycle…

You don’t have the money to buy the things you want or pay your bills, so you feel anxiety.

The anxiety sucks up your energy and attention, so you don’t work on a plan to get on the right track.

This creates a literal downward spiral…..and it keeps getting worse.

So what’s the ANSWER?

Well, if you’ve read the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad then you know that probably the BEST way to fix this downward loop is by starting your own BUSINESS.

That’s the way almost all of the really successful, financially independent people alive have done it.

That’s the way I’ve done it.

And that’s the way YOU are probably going to have to do it - if you want to escape the ‘water treading’ of debt and anxiety.

Now, I realize that this is a little bit of a heavy emotional message.

But it helped me to remember how it FEELS to really be under INDIVIDUAL financial pressure.

And it reminded me that the only consistent, predictable, proven way OUT of that problem is to create your own foundation of solid cash flow with a BUSINESS.

So that’s my message to you today.

You can’t do big things for yourself or for others if you’re constantly feeling a ton of pressure and anxiety.

And you can’t create long-term security for yourself in the old ‘job’ model of the world.

We don’t live in 1960 anymore .

The big corporations aren’t going to take care of you, your friends, and your family.

If you want to control your financial life and your financial future, then you’re going to have to take matters into your own hands.

And I’d like to help you do it!
Check this out.  It just may be the solution to your financial pressures and anxieties:

Interest Rates Stay Put as Speculation Continues

March 9th, 2010

The Bank of Canada’s plan to maintain the key interest rate has been spot-on for the past 11 months, but there is speculation the trend could be ending soon.

“Based on information circulating….the pendulum has swung in the direction that we’ll probably see an increase in rates sooner than we originally thought,” says a Kitchener based broker. ”Economics 101 in high school taught me if you print more money [you’ll see] inflation. And if you have inflation, you’re going to get an increase in rates.”

Interest rates have been held at 0.25 per cent since April 2009, four per cent lower than they were in January 2008. The last time the central bank raised the overnight rate was July 2007.

“With rates as low as they are right now people are taking a hard look before they go out and either looking at getting a lower rate seeing if it’s worth their while or getting their equity takeout now,” says another broker commenting on this.

A release from the central bank reports the economy grew at an annual rate of five per cent in 2009’s fourth quarter thanks to strong domestic spending, increased confidence and policy stimulus. The next interest rate announcement is April 20.

New Rules Announced for Insured Mortgages…….

February 16th, 2010

Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced three new rule changes connected to government-backed insured mortgages Tuesday morning, saying the government is “taking proactive, prudent and cautious steps” to prevent a housing bubble.  

The biggest change is the requirement that all borrowers be qualified at a five-year fixed mortgage rate even if they choose a shorter-term, lower-interest product. The government also lowered the maximum amount Canadians can withdraw in refinancing their mortgages from 95 to 90 per cent, and introduced a minimum down payment of 20 per cent for government-backed mortgage insurance on non-owner occupied properties purchased “for speculation.”

US Government Plans Exit from Mortgage Market

February 10th, 2010

After investing more than $1 trillion to keep mortgage rates low, the U.S. government is expected to pull back and exit over the next two months. 

  

The program of buying mortgage-backed securities in an effort to reduce fixed-rate mortgage rates is set to end this quarter.

If that happens, many in the housing industry are concerned about what impact it will have. The government’s housing assistance enabled homebuyers to get cheap loans and help revive much of the U.S. housing market, but the lasting impact is unclear.

A rise in interest rates, however small, would likely do damage to the fragile confidence of those considering buying real estate in 2010. The Federal Reserve said last week that it will keep the target rate for overnight bank lending near zero to help nurture the recovery.

Foreclosures will probably reach three million this year, surpassing last year’s record of 2.82 million, according to RealtyTrac Inc.

 

Mortgage Fraud Increases in U. S.

February 8th, 2010

The number of mortgage fraud cases increased last year in the U.S., with the highest concentration in areas with high property foreclosure rates.  

According to MortgageDaily.com’s fourth quarter 2009 mortgage fraud index, the activity was worst in Florida and Nevada, with a combined 1,780 cases last year.

Last week in the U.S., a former Beverly Hills real estate appraiser was sentenced to three years in federal prison for her role in a large-scale mortgage fraud.

Prosecutors say Lila Rizk was part of a ring that obtained dozens of inflated mortgage loans for homes in wealthy Southern California neighborhoods. She was ordered by the judge to pay her part of a $46 million restitution to Bank of America Corp. and others.

Canada Mortgage Bonds Grow Under the Radar

February 5th, 2010

The CMHC-backed Canada Housing Trust issued $47 billion worth of mortgage bonds in 2009 - the biggest issuance in the Canadian marketplace last year, according to a story in The Financial Post.

The growth is another sign of success for the Canada Mortgage Bonds program, which was launched in 2001 as a way for financial institutions to sell some of their mortgages to the government for liquidity and to lower borrowing costs. The program has proved popular among both financial institutions and investors, the Post said.

“Investors have responded extremely well to the safety and security of Canada’s mortgage market as well as the AAA backing from the Canadian government,” Doug Bartlett, managing director and head of government finance for CIBC World Markets, told the Post.

The five-year bonds are still the most popular product in the CMB program, but the 10-year bonds have also done well since being introduced to the market in November 2008, with a total of $9.2 billion being sold as of December. Despite the high numbers, CIBC executive director Warren Lovely told the Post the program is “very mature” after the explosive growth it has experienced in the past few years.
