Understandably, people everywhere are feeling that the old paradigm has let them down. They worked hard for years and years in order to create some security for their senior years and for their children and now they see it melting away. They are losing their jobs, their homes, their pensions and savings. They feel angry and betrayed about the American Dream having been shown to be just that - a dream.

Is this how you are feeling? I don’t blame you. You are entitled to be angry and, as usual, I encourage you to feel it. There is no doubt that the future looks very bleak for many of us. That is, unless we begin to see it differently. How?

Well, how about putting a new paradigm to the test? After all, what better time than now to try embracing the possibility that you can attract money to you through the Law of Attraction using the technology of Radical Manifestation?

In previous articles I have said that you can either stay transfixed by the apparent reality of the situation and remain a victim of it, or you can see it differently and rise above it using Radical Forgiveness. Well, now that it’s come down to issues of everyday financial survival, you have a similar choice. You can either struggle with whatever financial misfortune strikes, if it should happen, and do the best you can in the circumstances, or you can once again rise above it by shifting your belief system.

Even with our current economic times and the failure of several financial institutions, mortgages are here to stay. In fact, over 80% of all homeowners have mortgages. But, is this a wise decision or are these people asking for trouble? In this article, we will discuss whether it is wise to get a mortgagee as well as who you can trust in the mortgage industry. Lastly, we will provide you with some tips in dealing with the mortgage industry. Sound good? Let’s get started.

First all, let’s discuss the benefits of a mortgage. Well, there are many benefits of getting a mortgage. First, mortgages allows people to purchase property that they were not otherwise able to buy and actually provides them with a long term investment. In addition, having property provides most people with a sense of financial peace and also gives them immediate tax breaks from the government.

Be that as it may, there are many mortgage pitfalls that you must watch out for if you’re considering a mortgage. They are as follows:

I have to admit to being slightly in awe of my accountant Michael. My visits with him are rather like those with my doctor, except Michael’s never once asked me to unbutton my blouse. Instead, he intimately exposes my financial vulnerability, running a slender finger down the trail of indecent consumerism that has become my life of late. He looks at me almost tenderly, like a father to a small child, one eyebrow raised in Roger Moorish amusement. Smiles an easy smile, and tells me that ‘managing money is not my forte’.

In our modern, pampered world, many people don’t want to take care of themselves and are always whining for the government to “do something” about whatever it is that is causing discomfort in their situation.

Unfortunately for all of us, those cries for the government to “do something” do not fall on deaf ears. Politicians are always eager to buy more votes for themselves by “doing something” that gives the appearance that they are helping people.

When government response is applied to the field of economics and prices, just about every action the government takes is going to cause more pain and discomfort than it relieves.

The free market, with honest weights and measures, is the most efficient method available to humanity for providing the highest standard of living for the global population. Inevitably, if some outside force, such as government, interferes with the free market, it will cause everyone to experience a lower standard of living (with the possible exception of those who directly benefit by the government action, but even then, that is not always the case).

Prices are merely the free market’s method of finding a balance between supply and demand.

Let’s use an extreme example of prices for a new Lexus in order to understand the point. Suppose that the price to buy a new Lexus, in today’s dollars, was only $10.00. Yes, ten dollars apiece. How many would you buy? I’d probably get 50. That would cost about $1,000.00. I would only be limited by the space it required to store them. Everyone would certainly want to buy more than just one, and many people would want dozens of them for that price.
