For your consideration: WTH!

Some of you might be wondering:

Well, this is an easy question to answer. We took a vacation.

Here are five top reasons to take a vacation, and why they can ultimately benefit the rule of your money:

1. Everyone needs a break: No person on earth can work each day, all day on the same thing. This is rudimentary management. If you don’t take a break, you get burned out. What’s more, when you take a physical break from what you’re doing, you usually wind up increasing your cognitive concentration on the philosophies and motivations behind what you do with your time. In essence, a vacation will produce less work, but foster more ideas for improvement.
2. Sometimes you save money on vacation: Of course, if you’re going to Disney, then this doesn’t apply. If you’re staying at home, however, for a week or two and not doing your typical Subway or McDonald’s lunch each day. You’re saving.
3. You can use that vacation time to look for a new job: This is one of our favorite activities to do on vacation. You’re not working, but you’re looking for more investments and avenues for riches. You’re applying full-time, rather than part-time, effort to this task.
4. You reconnect with your personal life: Let’s face it. You gotta have friends and family. This is where most of our money comes from—the hook ups. Focusing less on activities, like work, that take you away from your personal relationships leaves you emotionally and LITERALLY alone. And, as much as the media likes to expound the virtues of the reverential power of people like Sam Zell and Warren Buffett, The Money Kings promise you that these “god” don’t act alone.
5. What are you living for?: This is the final benefit. You gotta be living for something. Vacation is a great time to refocus on this idea and then plan accordingly. The more likely you’re in tune with what you really enjoy in life, the more likely you’ll perform in all aspects therein.

Happy Vacationing.

For your consideration: King Of The Bastards.

For some reason this idea of the King of the Bastards has been rolling around in MoneyKing’s head all day.

Oh, you know who he is . . .

In a financial sense, the King of the Bastards is:

1. The guy that invented automated phone systems for the utility companies when you’re short on time and don’t want to repeat yourself 400 times.
2. The guy that raised your property taxes, again.
3. The guy that sucks dollars out of your pocket by being the laziest worker on earth that’s completely untouchable, because of his union.
4. The guy that eliminates your position at work, because he needs to hire his daughter’s boyfriend or some other less deserving spank.
5. The repulsive guy that keeps asking you to go out on a date via your cell phone voice mail soaking up your minutes each and every day.
6. The home inspector that inspects your place and leaves the air on and the windows open, before he leaves.
7. The tenant that cuts the water pipes in your place, and then patches the hole over so when you turn on the water, you’re flooded inside your walls.

See . . . we told you you know who he is.

For your consideration: Cats Or Dogs?

Well . . .

Regardless of your EMOTIONS, which shouldn’t be driving your money decisions anyway, there’s a clear choice when choosing to get a cat or a dog.

Cats are the way to go.

Cats = take care of themselves
Dogs = you have to pick up their sh*t
Cats = are self-trained
Dogs = you gotta take time out of your LIFE to train them
Cats = can easily get them de-clawed so they don’t tear up your sh*t
Dogs = not a good idea to get them de-clawed
Cats = less of an area for fleas
Dogs = more of an area for fleas
Cats = have little to no smell in their hair and skin
Dogs = wet hair smells nasty
Cats = quiet
Dogs = loud
Cats = can let them outside and they’ll either come back or get picked up
Dogs = if you let them outside, your neighbors will probably try to prosecute you for abuse

The list goes on an on and on. The point is that if you’re letting your money run your pet choices, the choice is simple. Get the stupid cat.

Good luck out there.

For your consideration: There’s NO Silver Bullet, People.

Let Money King break it down for you:

1. Ethanol isn’t the answer.
2. Drilling for more fossil fuels isn’t the answer.
3. More mass transit isn’t the answer.
4. Electric cars aren’t the answer.
5. Hybrid vehicles aren’t the answer.
6. Bicycles aren’t the answer.
7. Horses aren’t the answer.
8. Wind power isn’t the answer.
9. Water power isn’t the answer.
10. Nuke power isn’t the answer.

For your consideration: Where’s It All Gonna Come From?

This post is about government pensions. We keep hearing over and over again that government pensions can’t be funded going forward. There are too many people eligible for benefits and not enough tax payer to pay for it all.

You’re looking at:

1. Social Security.
2. State department workers.
3. Teachers.
4. Firefighters.

Are these services worth paying for? Are these services that people will perform if they’re not guaranteed 80% (some little less; some a little more) of their last 5 years pay? Well, are they?

Are we all willing to pay more taxes for these services so government workers can retire at the age of 60, or in some cases 70, or in some cases 55?

If we are willing to pay for all of this, The Money Kings ask:

If we’re not willing to pay for all of this, then what are we gonna do? The Money Kings assume that someone somewhere will do the job of a policeman or maybe even a Senator without a pension that guarantees income for life. If this assumption is true, then why don’t we move to this model now? Besides the fact that our government does nothing quickly, what’s the reason that we haven’t solved this problem yet—since we’re the most advanced society ever?

Maybe the answer is that we really DO have to money. If this is true, then why do we hear crap about how we don’t and we’re going to run out of money, etc., etc., we’re going to have to pay quadruple the taxes we pay now, blah, blah, blah.

You got any answers? Interested in running for office?

Good luck out there.

For your consideration: A Money Kings Diet??!!!

Everyone else has one. Why not us? Hmmmmm.

Seriously, though, food and money are related and we maintain that the human body is an instrument worth investment. What we’re gonna do is give you all an insight into a personal email sent by MoneyKing to one of his friends asking him how he stays in such great shape.

if you're asking for my thoughts on what to do to improve your overall health (heart, blood, bmi, etc.) here are my tips:

your body's an investment too.

Good luck out there.
