Pumping Up Your Real Estate Career
If you're a real estate agent, you are well aware of the downsides that people outside the field know little or nothing about. Before you could begin working for a broker, you had to acquire a thorough knowledge of real estate law, terminology and math. Regardless of which state you live in, you had to pass a test for your license, and pay a hefty fee for the privilege of holding it.
While you may not have had much trouble finding an office to work through, you might not have expected to have to pay for advertisements for your listings and possibly for desk space at the agency. Health insurance? Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll have the opportunity to pay the full premium for a group policy. Of course, you've got to sell some stuff before you can afford to do that. You have to get lots of listings. You have to close sales and set aside an emergency fund for the tough months when few or no sales come your way. Otherwise, you won't be able to pay your own bills, much less the ones the broker keeps reminding you of.
Talk about an independent contractor! Not only that. You sometimes get the feeling you're surrounded by vultures. Maybe not in your own office-but in the ones down the street and around the block and everywhere else in town.
Yes, you're well aware that you're in a heavy-competition business. You've got someone really interested in a $450,000 home you showed them last week. They're practically ready to put the money down today-only when you check to make sure it's still on the market, you find out it sold yesterday. The disappointed couple doesn't want to see anything else, they say, edging their way to the door. You just know someone else showed them their second-choice, and they're on their way to that other office now.

How to Become Wealthy
Accumulating Wealth:The Opportunity Has Never Been Better
Horatio Alger may have been right in the 1800s when he claimed that anyone willing to work hard could succeed. Today, the picture is different. It is painfully possible to work very, very hard and not get ahead. If you live from paycheck to paycheck and worry constantly about how you will meet your financial obligations, you're living in a world of stress. You don't even have the luxury of worrying about the stock market, because you've got nothing to invest.Yet more people are amassing wealth today than at any other time.
True, the financial picture for many of us doesn't measure up to the rosy pictures we hear of a growing economy. We worry about the war on terror, how we'll afford gas to get to work, and whether our jobs will still be there for us tomorrow. Yet you can begin your journey to financial success today.
Instead of the dubious prospect of accumulating wealth working for someone else, you can take control of your finances by owning your own business. It is much, much easier than you can imagine because you can do it with your own home-based business.Did you know that two thirds of all American millionaires are self-employed?Think about it. Who makes the most money? The restaurant manager or the restaurant owner? The car salesman or the dealership owner?
Owners are self-employed, and they are much more likely to be wealthy than the people who work for them.We're not suggesting that you buy a restaurant or an automobile dealership. It isn't necessary to take that kind of risk or put in that kind of work. Your own home-based business can be every bit as lucrative and much less stressful than a bricks-and-mortar business. You probably already have the only equipment you'll need-a computer and a telephone. That's all! Now all you need is the information that has transformed so many people's lives.

Becoming Wealthy or Wealth Accumulation
Wealth Accumulation
Is America Still The Land Of Opportunity?
A recent Survey of Consumer Finances conducted by the Federal Reserve Board revealed these statistics about the state of America's finances.
Do any of these facts hit home with you?
The typical American family earns about $45,000 per year. From 2001 to 2004, family debt increased 33% (adjusted for inflation). Surprisingly little of this debt stems from unnecessary spending. Instead, credit is being used to pay for necessities like housing, household expenses and health care, particularly in low- and middle-income families.
Average net worth, which grew rapidly during the boom of the 1990s, rose only 1.5% between 2001 and 2004 for the average American family. In other words, for most of us, the worth of our investments is not keeping up with the inflation rate.
The middle class is being squeezed more tightly than ever. Among the wealthiest 10% of Americans, net worth rose to $831,600, or a 6.5% increase from 2001. Meanwhile, the net worth of those in the bottom 25% fell 1.5% to $13,300.
More than a third -- 36% -- of those who owe more than $10,000 on their cards have household incomes under $50,000. 13% who owe that much have household incomes under $30,000. The percentage of disposable income used to pay debts is near record highs.
