A Job Is Just One Income Stream

A job is just “one” source of income. If it ends or you are not able to work it. It ends. This means that if your income source is gone, you have no money coming in or the ability to make income unless you get another job immediately. A job is not permanent. It is not guaranteed. It has limitations. You can only work when the employer says you can, you can only make what the employer allows, you can can only be paid what the employer offers. And in some states, employment is at will. This means that the employer or the employee can end the relationship at any time. A job is an active source of income. If your employer does things right, you are paid on a certain date, for the time you worked. You are paid wages for the “active time” you spent or put in working the job. Once you stop, that’s it.

Multiple Streams Of Income

Multiple streams of income are just that. Multiple. More than one.

Income is coming in or the ability to make income is present from multiple sources. It is having more than having a job. It is not dependent upon your initial job. It is other income streams that you have set up for income, to receive income. For multiple streams of income to flow.

Why Should You Have More Than One Stream Of Income?

Multiple streams of income guarantee income or the possibility of income. You are not dependent on a job or an employer. If you should lose your job, you have other streams set up to make income or obtain income. It increases your net worth. It increases your personal finances.

Types of Income Streams

Passive, Residual, Stocks, Real Estate, Businesses, Products, Trading, Blogs and more. These assets allow your money to work for you without you having to physically work. The initial set up and maintenance of these assets is all that is needed. In some instances, you can make money while you are sleeping.

It Gives You Time Freedom

Multiple streams of income, give you wealth. For some, wealth is time freedom. The ability to use your time doing the things you want to do. You are not tied down to a job or putting in sweat equity. You are free and your money is working for you. Time freedom may look like the picture above or traveling. It may be working on the mission project that you are passionate about. It may be starting or working on a non profit. It may be volunteering somewhere. It’s the freedom to do what you want to do with your time.

by Effortless Beauty™, posted in Actively Trading, Cashless, Credit, Cryptocurrency, Currency, Day Trading, Debit, Digital, Digital Currency, EFT, Expense, Finance, Finances, Financial Wealth Management, Forex, Income, Investing, Money, Money Management, Personal Finance, Shopping, Spending, Stock Market, Tithe, Trading, Travel, Wealth, Wealth Management, Wisdom

The World Of Currency IS Changing

The world is already heading towards a cashless society. China is already a digital currency society. During this pandemic, we experienced the effects of a coin shortage. Grocery stores did not have coins, there was a big emphasis on “card only” transactions. Cashless by Google definition, is characterized by the exchanged funds of cheque, debit or credit card, or electronic methods, rather than the use of cash.

Here are 10 items that will assist and accommodate your transition into cashless transaction:

  1. Debit Card, most widely used today, by Google definition, a debit card, is a card allowing the holder to transfer money electronically from their bank account when making a purchase.

A debit card can be obtained with a checking account from a financial institution such as a bank or from a fintech company such as Stash or Cash App. Accounts with the bank or fintech company source the funds of the holder, allowing the holder to transfer money electronically from their accounts when making a purchase.

2. Credit Card, also most widely used today, by Google definition, a credit is a small plastic card issued by a bank, business, etc., allowing the holder to purchase goods or services on credit.

A credit card is based on credit worthiness. Approval of a credit card can be where you are given credit by the issuing credit card company or where you fund the credit card limit with your funds. This type of credit is called a secured credit card and is usually given to those whose credit is not that good and need to rebuild their credit.

3. Zelle

Zelle allows it’s user to send or receive money via email or a U.S. mobile phone number. With Zelle, you have to have a participating bank that offers Zelle in order to sign up for it. Zelle sends money to U.S. bank accounts only. My primary bank does offer the option to sign up with Zelle, I personally have been trying to sign up for Zelle for a while now. To see if your bank is a participating bank, click here.

4. PayPal

Allows it’s users to send and receive money, to buy and pay with cryptocurrency, to raise funds, to purchase products and pay in 4 payments, to pay at check out and more.

Sign up for PayPal here.

5. Cash App

Cash App allows it’s users to send and receive money, to invest in stocks or Bitcoin, and to bank with a deposit account, receive a debit card, and to add cash to their Cash App balance by stopping in participating stores to load the cash. You cannot pay for items directly at check out by scanning Cash App. You can get Cash App today along with $5 when you send your first $5! Get it here.

6. Google Pay

Google Pay allows it’s users to send and receive money. To hold their cards in a digital wallet, to view their finances, getting a fuller picture. It claims to safer than swiping your card or carrying cash. If you already have a Google Account (i.e. Gmail) you can sign up online by adding a payment method. You can also sign up by downloading the app.

7. Apple Pay

Apple Pay allows Apple users to easily, securely, and privately pay using an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac without a physical card or cash present. A credit, debit, or prepaid card must be added to Wallet in order to use Apple Pay. It can be used to buy things in stores, within apps, on the Safari web, to ride transit, to send and receive money in messages app with Apple Cash. If a user uses a credit, debit, or prepaid card, they will continue to get the rewards, benefits, and security that each one provides. If Apple Card is used with Apple Pay, the user can get daily cash on their purchases.

8. Bitcoin

What Is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a form of buy, sell, payment and exchange. It is not money. However, it can be used like money. In the United States it is not a currency. The United States government controls what is currency in the United States. Bitcoin is property. You can own it, you can buy it, you can sell it, you can use it to exchange for goods and services, you can build a hedge against the U.S. dollar with it. However, it is not money. It is not apart of the currency issued by the United States government. You don’t have an actual coin in hand to own, buy, sell, use, or exchange Bitcoin it is used digitally.

9. NFT

NFT (Non Fungible Token) is a special cryptoasset in which each token in unique. It is different than Bitcoin and dollars. Bitcoin and dollar bills are worth the exactly the same amount. NFT can be used to authenticate ownership of digital assets (e.g. digital works.)

10. Smartphone

Yes, a smartphone.

This is how most of China’s economy operates on a daily basis. With a scan of their phone a payment is made. Where is the money coming from? An app on their phone or a digital wallet. Instead of wallets, they carry smartphones. In the U.S. you can easily check out at some stores with your smartphone. This is where the world is heading. No physical in hand money needed.

Choose A U.S. Binary Options Broker | Binary Options

So You Want To Trade Binary Options As A U.S. Resident, First Know The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) & The Commodity Exchange Act & Regulations (CEA)

Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission was created in 1974 with the enactment of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Act. Prior to this, futures contracts for agricultural commodities were traded in the United States for over 150 years and since 1920, under Federal regulation. The (CFTC)’s mission is to promote integrity, resilience, and vibrancy of the U.S. derivatives market through sound regulation. (Bold emphasis added.)

You can visit the (CFTC) website directly here.

The Commodity Exchange Act (CEA)

The Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) regulates the trading of commodity futures in the United States. It establishes the statutory framework under which the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) operates. Under the (CEA) the (CFTC) has the authority to establish regulations that are published in title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Binary Options Brokers Who Use Arbitrage Services

There are a lot of binary options brokers who offer arbitrage services that allow you to trade binary options. Some of these arbitrage services are located in countries outside of the United States of America. Some U.S. residents opt to trade using the arbitrage services that are in these countries, however, if you live in the United States of America your binary options broker should be registered in the United States of America. You want to trade legally and ethically. You don’t want to be intertwined with, caught up in, or connected to an off shore broker that could possibly get you in legal trouble because they aren’t following U.S. Regulations and requirements and indirectly you, whether you are aware of it or not, would not be following U.S. Regulations and requirements.

You Could Lose All Of Your Money With An Off Shore Broker

Another reason why you want to use a U.S. based broker is, you could lose all of your money. Without regulation to protect you and your funds you could lose everything you invested and gain while trading with an off shore broker. You want to be at ease while trading and know that your investments are regulated and you want to profit.

U.S. Binary Options Brokers

You can check whether a broker is registered with the (CFTC) in the United states BEFORE you trade. You can actually check registration and backgrounds before you trade. This can be done by visiting the NFA BASIC database to check. You can get there directly from a webpage on the CFTC’s website here.

Per the CFTC,

Before working with any person or firm to trade in commodity futures, commodity pools, options, forex, or other derivatives, verify that the entity is properly registered with the CFTC. The Commodity Exchange Act requires certain firms and individuals to be registered with the (CFTC). Registration and examination of intermediaries is conducted on behalf of the (CFTC) by the National Futures Association (NFA) under the supervision of the (CFTC).

CFTC Commodity Futures Trading Commission

With a check via NFA BASIC database, you receive registration, disciplinary or regulatory history, and financial information.

Here are some U.S. Based Brokers that are NFA Member Approved

TD Ameritrade Futures & Forex

TD Ameritrade Futures & Forex LLC

Webull

The best way to use this site is to enter the name of the Broker that you want information for and it see what results that you receive.

Non US Based Binary Brokers

These are some Non US Based Binary Brokers. The list is not all inclusive. They are not apart of the (CFTC) and are off shore brokers. They may be regulated with an International Broker or a broker for their country.

How I Stayed Two Nights At A Hilton Garden Inn For $9.22 | Hilton Honor Points

by Effortless Beauty™, posted in Budget, Currency, Expense, Finance, Finances, Financial Wealth Management, Gain, Gifts, Giving, Income, Increase, Invest, Investing, Investment, Investor, Loyalty Rewards, Money, Money Management, Multiplication, Personal Finance, Points, Rewards, Seed, Travel

Hotels

Hotels are varied in class, safety, and preference. I have had the opportunity to stay in a variety of hotels. Hilton Garden Inn is apart of the Hilton Brand.

How I Did It

One night, I didn’t have any place to go and asked if I could charge the laptop I was using in the lobby of a Hampton Inn that was in the area of the previous hotel I had stayed at. I ended up staying close to a month, maybe more at that particular Hampton Inn. This was also during the pandemic, executive orders for Michigan. Because I signed up that night for Hilton Honors, I accumulated points for the stays that were under my name and Honors Member number at the hotel. Needless to say, the points were enough for me to book a free two–night stay at the Hilton Garden Inn. I paid $9.22 in taxes and fees. If you are familiar with the prices at Hilton Garden Inn, some nights a hotel room can be over $100.00, like $102 -$109 dollars before taxes and fees. Points are really a benefit. Being a Hilton Honors Member is a benefit. Outside of point accumulation, you also can receive Honor Rates when available.

I booked the room online using my points and my debit card to make the reservation. It was $9.22. Once, I got to the hotel, there was a refundable incidental fee, that I also had to have authorized on my debit card. After, checking out, my final price for the room was $9.22. That is a great deal!

What Are Points?

Points are a system of value that works like money but isn’t money! You can’t redeem it for money. You can earn points from stays, flights, rideshare, etc., Depending on the brand or merchant that is giving the points determines ways you can earn the points and how you can use them. With Hilton Honors, you can earn points and you can buy points. I earned points. With every stay and for listening to calls after talking with a Hilton Honors Representative via phone.

How You Can Do It

  1. Sign up to be a Hilton Honors member.
  2. Stay at any Hilton hotel to accumulate points.
  3. Earn any of the ways listed on the Hilton Honors Website.
  4. Listen to phone calls when offered after talking to a live Hilton Honors Representative.
  5. You can also purchase points. They recently had a match points promotion going on, where if you buy a certain amount of points, they match the points.
  6. You can also take surveys when offered to you to earn Hilton Honors points.
  7. Once you accumulate enough points, find a Hilton Garden Inn or any Hilton Hotel that you would like to stay at and book it!

What Is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a form of buy, sell, payment and exchange.

It is not money. However, it can be used like money. In the United States it is not a currency. The United States government controls what is currency in the United States. Bitcoin is property. You can own it, you can buy it, you can sell it, you can use it to exchange for goods and services, you can build a hedge against the U.S. dollar with it. However, it is not money. It is not apart of the currency issued by the United States government.

Bitcoin is a type of digital currency in which a record of transactions is maintained and new units of currency are generated by the computational solution of mathematical problems, and which operates independently of a central bank. (Google)

Bitcoin was created by a person. The name most associated with the person who created it is Satoshi Nakamoto. There is only a limited amount of Bitcoin available worldwide. Once that limit is reached no more exists.

It can be used like money. It is deregulated. It is not regulated by banks or the government. It is digital. It is also known as Cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency is “a digital currency in which transactions are verified and records maintained by a decentralized system using cryptography, rather than by a centralized authority.” (Google)

Bitcoin can be bought with U.S. Dollars or whatever your currency is in your country and it can be used to buy, exchange and pay for things that you would buy with regular fiat money. You can also sell Bitcoin for U.S. dollars. It is legit. There are even ATM’s for it. In the U.S., you do have to report your buys and sells (your transactions) to the IRS.

Bitcoin is an investment and is like a hedge against the U.S. Dollar. It can be comparable to gold. In the U.S., if the U.S. dollar fails, then Bitcoin and other hard assets like gold come into play and hedge against it. You would be able to still buy, sell, exchange, make payments because of the value, accessibility, and ability of Bitcoin. People are building their portfolios and investing in it and obtaining it now. Companies and businesses are implementing it in their form of payment options, where the consumer can pay with/in Bitcoin. PayPal most recently, implemented the ability of its users to buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin. National retailers are now accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment. Games offer rewards in Bitcoin and Lolli offers rewards when using their service when you shop at top stores.

To learn more about Bitcoin and earn Bitcoin while you learn about Bitcoin visit Coinbase. Coinbase also provides a digital wallet for Bitcoin users which is also needed to store Bitcoin. For current and more information on digital assets and blockchain technology visit Coindesk.
