Design Your Coin
I came across an article about your own personalized challenge coin. When I followed the link, I was surprised on how great the coins look. This seems like a great idea for corporate giveaways or tokens for small organizations and clubs. Just take a look at the samples below. I would love to have one designed for me and my friends.
Cash In, Cash Out
Thanks to my non-existent maternity leave, I’m expecting a not so insignificant amount of money at the end of the month. I wonder if I should splurge it on a vacation, a shopping spree or spend it on another type of investment such as gold bullion? I heard gold is doing great these days. In fact, it’s the most stable investment instrument out there compared to paper and stocks. I have to think about this carefully. I do like to invest but we need new clothes (a month’s worth at least) and a vacation so bad too. This is the problem when your funds are limited. Unlike some people I know, we do have to save before we can splurge on high ticket items, making us enjoy our purchases or vacations more because we worked hard for it.

Gold – Safest Bet
One way to preserve wealth and purchasing power is trough gold investment. Unlike paper, gold is durable, does not wear out from being passed hand to hand and universally accepted. It also protects you from inflation and natural disasters.
If you’re interested, check out Monex.com for their gold coins, bullions and other precious metals. They have been in the industry for more than 40 years so you can guarantee that your investment is in good hands.
New Investment
Many financial analysts feel that gold and silver, and specifically US gold and silver coins, present outstanding investment opportunities. More importantly, there may never be a better time for buying these commodities than right now. The demand for silver worldwide, for example, has been exceeding annual production rates since 1990. Another good reason for investing in silver is that the US Government is now replenishing its silver reserves after it had made huge amounts available to the world market in the years immediately after World War II; silver investors are practically assured a bulk-buyer outright. As investment products, gold and silver are available as coins or ingots. Ingots are generally gold or silver of pure bullion cast, presented in a convenient size and shape.
Coins have a currency value and are actually sometimes defined as ingots. Monex Deposit Company (MDC) lets you purchase silver, gold or other precious metals and coins for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America’s gold, silver and precious metals investment leader. For those interested, MDC currently offers American eagle gold coins (.9167 fine gold) in units of 10 one-ounce coins for personal delivery only. These are legal tender in the USA, with a $50 face value. Fractional sizes (ounce and 1/10 ounce) in units of 20 coins each are also available for personal delivery.
To Switch or Not To Switch
I really want an iMac. My brother’s company just bought him one and he won’t stop bragging about it. I was actually thinking of buying a Macbook Air but when I personally saw the new iMac from an Apple store here, I was just blown away. Charging it to credit card can get very expensive so I’m considering getting a cash advance instead. I heard the rates are much lower and you can get the money overnight. I tried one of those pre-approved requirements and found that I’m eligible up to $2,500. Not bad huh? I don’t need that amount exactly because I’d rather pay the 50% of total cost in cash. Anyway, I have to check my month’s earnings so I can see how much more I’d need to get my dream machine.
Extra Cash?
My mom sent a text message asking if I can lend one of our distant relatives some cash. I am hesitant because one, we’re not really close (did I say distant? LOL) and two, we have no extra cash lying around. And even if I have money, I’d rather loan it to someone who needs money for medicine or their kids’ tuition, not someone who just probably ran out of cash from too much shopping. I suggested they try payday loans. It’s easy to get approved these days if you have a steady income and an active bank account which I’m sure they have. We have tried this several times whenever pay day is too far and we need to pay the bills ASAP. However, we make sure to pay settle the loans as soon as we have money to avoid high interest.

Extra Room
Been thinking of a nice small business that I can put up at my parents house. Since my brother moved out, the whole house downstairs has been empty. My brother wanted to turn it into a small printing company but I’m thinking of something smaller. Perhaps a computer rental or even a small sari-sari store will do. This should keep my father busy plus the income generated should be enough for their daily expenses at home.
Laundry Shop?
I wonder how much a Metropole franchise cost these days? A friend of mine wants to put up a Laundromat and deciding if franchising is the way to go. I used to have this website which URL escapes me now that lists the most popular shops that you can franchise and the cost. I know it’s more expensive but the good thing about it is that the name’s already established. For someone like me who doesn’t have the brains for business, franchising is the best way to go if I want to be my own boss.
