Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Singapore Funeral Parlour: Preparing For The Unpredictable

By Ericka Jackson


Death can transpire anyone at any time. It is an unavoidable event, but you are given just enough time to make all needed arrangement before it happens. To some, these preparations are unnecessary. But to those who already encountered being in charge of such preparations, they're the ones who recognise the burden of doing such obligations while mourning. The following are some of the crucial preparations that one must pay attention to.

One, choosing a Singapore funeral parlour prior to making other preparations is essential due to the fact that this is where many of the needed funeral services will be obtained. In the selection process, an aspect that one must take into account is the availability of the specific services that you desire to take advantage of. For example, a large viewing room is preferred because of the possibility that a large number of men and women will be visiting for the duration of the wake.

Second, if you opt to be cremated rather than buried, therefore the next item on your list is to search for a crematorium Singapore. Now and then, a funeral parlour Singapore also offers cremation services. But, this does not necessarily mean that you're bound to avail of their service; you still have the freedom to choose a crematorium according to your preference.

Lastly, be in contact with the funeral director. He/ she is your confidant regarding the arrangements that you are about to make. Additional details that you must discuss with him/ her are the coffin type, the ceremony, alongside the duration of the wake.

The departing of a loved one is said to be the most saddening and stressful instance in a person's existence. Imagine the pain inflicted by the loss and the stress caused by the need to make arrangements for the wake and burial. So instead of them worrying about the said information details, all they have to do is to receive guests and grieve.

The New Way to Eliminate Unsecured Debt in America

By Cheryl P. Rivera


Grab a piece of paper and a pencil, sit down and make a list of all of your monthly expenses and be honest. Write down all that money you spend on coffee or eating out or a spontaneous trip to the mall to buy some new shoes. These things all have to be factored in.Once you have a complete (and possibly dismal) picture of your finances you can start to whittle away at some of the places where you waste money. I did the exact same thing once, I wrote down everything and was astonished to find that in just 3 months I had spent over $600 eating out! I'm not even talking about fancy restaurants, just fast food and casual dining.

When you see those types of numbers in black and white it can be a real eye opener. So do that too, find out where you spend more money than you should and plug that hole. You may find yourself with several hundred more dollars than you thought you had.Of course, if you have a lot of debt you should take the money you have freed up in your budget and apply it to pay down that debt. Do that before you start saving or investing since the interest you are paying on your debt is probably more than you would make on an investment.

Avoid Debt Consolidation Programs.There are many programs online that offer debt relief assistance, but they come with a price. Often you will have to pay them to consolidate all your debt. So that's just another payment to add with all your other payments. Doesn't makes sense to me.Seek Guidance.Talk to people who are doing better than you.See what they are doing and learn from them chances are they have been where you are now and can give you golden advice.

The stimulus package has been introduced primary to encourage the average consumer on the street to spend more money. Giving money directly to the consumer is a very bad precedent. No service provider wants to adopt such an approach to overcome the recession.that is a reason why relief has been offered to credit card issuers and other sources of finance in the phone. This puts them in a position to offer generous relief to the average individual. This in turn, it is expected, will encourage the average individual to spend more.

The presence of the government money also has a significant impact on the confidence of the consumers. When the government has pumped in 787 billion dollars when it promises to deposit and other installment close to the same amount if needed, you certainly can rely on things to get better soon. You do not have to be pessimistic about your finances.Thirdly, the stimulus packages offered to credit card issuers and this has reduced to the possibility of the card issuers taking the moral high ground. When they could approach the government for relief when they were in trouble, what is wrong if the average individual approaches the government for relief?

The stimulus package is a part of taxpayers' money and there is nothing wrong if the average consumer wants a share in the pie.Finally, the stimulus package has reduced the chances of failure of credit card issuers and other secured lenders. These institutions were deemed too big to fail. The chances of their failure have come down drastically. This bodes well for the overall economy. Small businesses will now have their own source of capital and need not take the risk of dealing with expensive sources of capital.

If you have no special roles in the community to provide in the notes, be honest with them. The last thing that you want to happen between you and the grants department is to be blacklisted from applying for any grants in the future.Due to increasing number of unemployment rate, average Americans are facing hardship in making payments toward their credit card bills and mortgage. As a result, many have to opt for bankruptcy. To save yourself from this situation, it is better to take help of a company that offers debt relief services. Recently, the Federal Trade Commission has introduced a new rule, which bans debt relief companies from charging any upfront fees from consumers, before they can actually achieve some success in reducing the debt. However, this restriction is applicable to only telemarketing companies. So, they apply only to those debt relief services sold over the phone.

Some of the debt relief services offered by a company are as follows:Debt consolidation: You may go for this, if you have multiple credit card loans. Your multiple loans will get replaced by a single loan, with lower rate of interest. You have to make a single monthly payment to your consolidation company. The company will distribute the money to your creditors.Debt settlement: If you have a huge amount of debt, you may opt for this debt solutions program. The settlement company, on your behalf, will negotiate with your creditors. They will try to reduce your outstanding balance by 40-60%. The company usually charges 25-35% of the loan amount that is forgiven. You have to pay a fixed amount of money to the company every month. Once the monthly payments accumulate into a lump sum amount; it is paid off to your creditors.

Prior to using the assets to purchase these new things debt must be eliminated. The money coming in from the assets should be used toward debt relief. Set up all of your debt on a snowball. The method of using a debt snowball is the fastest way to financial freedom when utilizing the assets. A snowball takes the payment from a recently paid off debt to be used toward the next debt in line to be paid off and this process continues compounding all of the payments.Conclusively, a person must focus on creating financial freedom for debt relief through the use of assets. Refrain from purchasing liabilities until you have the asset to get what you want. Implement the debt snowball to quickly eliminate debt.
