Thinking about 2009.

Real Estate Information is the name of this blog. I guess we all have a place to lay our head at night so we all have some need for information.

While we were in Michigan, spending time with the kin folks, I got to thinking about all the people in that state that are recently out of work. All of the economic turmoil happening right before Christmas. It just breaks my heart to know that in the greatest country in the world that our elected officials are giving money in "bail out plans" to executives who are responsible for not keeping their companies profitable. Then those executives secure their financial future (Golden Parachutes) and run their companies with what's left over. I pray that the "Change" that we want as a country doesn't push us backwards toward the Carter Administration days, or worse.

Now is the time to learn about the Technology that we have and are so slow to adopt. The Internet is a powerful tool. I don't believe the majority of the world's people can fathom the power that the internet brings into our homes, businesses and our hands through cell phones.

There was a time when people thought that they wouldn't need indoor plumbing, cars, color TV, home computers, cell phones... and now Social Media. Just 10 days ago a Continental Airlines 737 veered off the runway on take-off and burst into flames. From the instant this was happening there was a passenger on board broadcasting LIVE the news about what was happening on Twtter. Hurricane Ike and the Mumbai terrorists attacks were all reported in real time on Twitter.

Yes, Social Media has it's problems, but so does the internet as a whole. We just have to learn to program safeguards in the system where the freaks of the world will use it to get their kicks.

With that said, there are always going to be Pros and Cons to any type of technology that is developed. We, as an educated generation, have to learn to use the technology for the good of mankind. We have to learn to use the Internet to help our daily lives. Now is a great time for people to learn how and start a home based internet business. You don't have to try all the get rich quick scheems. What if you made an extra $500 per month. Wouldn't that help out? There are all kinds of things to learn about. The easiest of which is ebay. How much stuff is in the garage or attic or better yet in that mini storage building that has a monthly fee? Do some Spring cleaning often and find things you don't want anymore and sell them on ebay.

Another learning avenue is through Rhea Perry. Rhea hosts events throughout the year teaching people different ways to work from home using the Internet. On of those events is Entrepreneur Days is held in the Fall. You can check out her blog at RheaPerry.com. Money can be made by Blogging, writing e-books, Affiliate Marketing (selling someone else's product for a fee) etc.

2009 is going to a year of change. The only question I have is: Who will be able to change with it? I will and I hope you will be able to follow that change right here at www.Educating4Wealth.info.

May you have a Prosperous and Happy New Year.

Thank you for reading my blog.
