I wrote these classes and will teach these ideas to you in my home or if necessary I will come to your house. There are four classes we do together as a group and one that we do individually.

So pick up the phone and call 402-564-3001

It will cost you $75 for one person and $125 if you attend as a couple.

Some cost saving ideas.

The other day my wife and I went to buy groceries. She had taken the time to cut out a lot of coupons. Our bill before the coupons was $107, and then they started to subtract the coupons. The final bill totaled $91, saving us $16 dollars. If you buys groceries twice a month, you can save somewhere around $380 a year.

Something else we do, to save money on children’s clothing, is swap clothes. My oldest child has a cousin a year younger; we have been giving her clothes for a very long time. Plus we have friends who have daughters who are older than my daughter and we have gotten clothes from them. Last winter someone gave my wife tons of clothes that were perfect for my youngest. We didn’t have to buy any summer clothes this year for her. I have no idea how much that saves people, but it’s huge. When we are totally done with these clothes we take them to the Goodwill or we might have a garage sale. When the garage sale is all done we load everything up and take it to Goodwill. When you’re buying clothes for kids, Goodwill is a great way to get what you need and not pay retail prices for things.

I hear a lot of people say Walmart is a bad company and they run the small guy out of business, sometimes this may be true. I think in times that are very tight for the normal person, it's important to remember you need to save every dollar that you can.

Something I’m working on is to enter the Columbus Day’s Parade. My plan is to make some banner that says Moore Money. I also ordered magnets to hand out to the crowd. Another project I’m working on is expanding to real estate. I have found a nice property that needs some TLC. I can get it for a reasonable price and should be able to rent it out or even might try selling it to see if I can get a quick return on my money. Time will tell. They told us they will sell to a person who wants to live there first. If no one puts in an offer then I can put my offer into the company.

Well that is all for tonight. Take care and if you think it’s a bargain, think twice and do the math. If it’s good, jump on it. Otherwise take a step back and see if you really need it.

Something to think about

I’ve been doing some research on money; I just read a great article about sharing things with your neighbor, like internet, lawn mowers, garbage pickup and many more ideas. One idea I’m looking into is the adding extra people to your cell phone lines for only $10 dollars each. Many of us have moms who don’t use their cell phone much so we can add her, save them money and do a good deed in the end. Then I thought why stop with our moms and dads. Why not add our friends, then split the cost of you service two ways. It would be worth looking into. It's more important today than ever to tighten our belts, Use coupons, shop the clearance rack, we bought my daughter two new pairs of shoes for a total of $12 dollars, they should last her most of the school year unless she grows out of them. Now for my new offer if you have a friend who could use some help with money matters, I’m looking to offer free of charge two couples or three people who are single. I need to get my service out there in the public eye. So tell your friends and or families. I believe if I can help these people and they can help spread the word then my business will start to take off and then I can start helping people more and more.

Hello everyone.
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything (sorry). Today we are going to look at smart buys. My question is this when you go to buy an item that is 50% off is this really a good buy or just a way to get us in there store? I used to work at a stereo store and they used this trick all the time. What they did is raise the prices up to full retail price, and then they would mark those 50% off. Many times the price you paid was close to the original price or just a couple of dollars off. That got us to buy something we truly didn’t need and spend money that we could have saved or used to pay extra on some debt.
One of my favorite stores is JC Penny’s. We get coupons every week promoting a new sale. After a purchase the receipt shows how much you saved by shopping at their store. I always wondered if they would just price things at the sale price all the time, wouldn’t sales go up? I just don’t know. To make my point even more, I bought some new Golf Balls. I wanted a certain kind so I went looking on-line for them. I found them for a pretty good price, but when I went to “check out” there was a notice that I could buy 2 boxes for only $5 dollars more. So I could buy 12 for $15 or buy 24 for $20. So I did it, but to tell the truth I really don’t need any Golf Balls because I have a whole bunch of them down stairs. So I wonder if this was a good buy or not?
The course I golf at has a deal if you show up before they open you can golf for $7 per nine holes. If you wait until the person shows up and opens the club house it is $13.50 for the same 9 holes. It’s kind of early to get up, but the money I save I can golf twice as much for the price as going after they open. Plus since they’re not open I take water with me or Gatorade which has been on sale lately. So I save more money because I don’t buy from the club house where everything is twice the price.
One more thing to remember a lot of times we see sales where you have to buy 10 boxes of something and we get a sweet deal. Many times I’ve checked this out up front and ask if the deal is if you buy 10 or does the sale work if you buy 3 or 4. If you’re not careful many times you will end up with 10 items and you won’t use them up very fast. So it’s very important to make sure they last as long as it will take to use them up.
As for my business it’s moving very slow (very slow). I can’t give up now. Edison tried to make a light bulb and it took many, many times before he got it to work.
So I leave you a story I love. This young boy is out behind his house with a bat and ball. He throws the ball up in the air and swings, he misses it. All the time saying out load he was the greatest batter in the whole world. After three tries of missing the ball he looks up and says I guess I’m the greatest pitcher in the world. So remember to never give up and always fight the fights you can win, don’t waste your time fighting the ones that just don’t matter.

The Basics-Lesson #2


Today I want to talk “over spending” of your hard earned money.

I was reading an article about how people who buy things with their credit cards. They tend to spend more than if paying with a check or cash.

I asked myself the question, was I guilty of this, too?

The answer is yes.

I don’t want to use my debit card or credit card on a $2 purchase, so I buy more than I need, so I spend $10 on some things I don’t need instead of just spending the $2 dollars.

If a person does this enough of the time then we are getting ourselves in a very bad habit.

Then, if you don’t or can’t pay off your credit cards every month you pay interest.

The longer we do this the worse off we get.

If we would look back at all the times we spent more than we needed, and then added up all the extras, we would see that we probably wouldn’t owe anything on our card at all.

$8 doesn’t seem like much, but over a year’s time and doing this every week, it adds up to $416. That’s a good chunk of money.

Just what would you do with that money? That’s up to you.

So here’s my advice, always have some cash on hand. You can use it for the little purchases. Keep your debit or credit cards for the big ticket items.

Remember to always pay off your credit card bills every month.

If using the debit card make sure to keep a good record of where and when you use it.

The Basics-Lesson #1


Good evening to my followers all 5 of you.
I want to discuss money with you.
Let me ask you a question--What does it mean to say someone is rich, many of you will say that means they have more money than they need and don’t ever have to worry about paying their bills or where their next meal comes from right.
One of my goals with my business is to take the everyday person and teach them to pay their bills and have enough left over so they worry less about money and enjoy life more.
Also I want to stress they usually can accomplish this with the money they already make.
There are always exceptions to this and I know people who tried and tried and their money situation didn’t have a happy ending.
For the rest of you I believe with some common sense and some hard choices, we can fix your situation and help you breathe easier.
I looking forward to this and will love telling the success stories afterwards.
