Are we in deflation?

Did you notice that the price of gas is going down every day? Is this a good sign? To ordinary people like me, it's a good sign. After the sky-high price of gas 6 months ago, at least we could breathe now. If you go to department stores, you will notice clothing is cheaper now. Let's see if the price of food will go down too. I don't see any development yet. But I am kinda worried why the prices of goods went down during recession or economic crisis. Are we in deflation?

Clear your debt

It is sad to hear about the economic crisis we are facing now in the U.S. There are many business establishments went out of business. This situation has immensely and greatly affected everyone. Do you think we are heading for another great depression? I hope not. It is not only the United States suffers from economic crisis but the whole world. In this current situation, it is time for us to be more practical and live within our means. I’m very glad that I married a man who knows how to handle finances well. My husband is very conservative with our money and has taught me a lot of things about finances.


I believe it is really helpful when one lives within his/her means. The average Japanese saves 20% of his/her net income, the average European saves 18% of his/her net income and unfortunately, the average American spends 1% more of his net income. Many people are in great debt and they do not know what to do. A friend of ours was greatly in debt from many different creditors. What he did was consolidated all his debts into one. He got a helpful advice and hired a great non-profit debt consolidation company. And now, he is almost debt free. By the way, what is a non-profit consolidation? It is a program intended to primarily help people to minimize their debt problems and teach them how to handle their finances well.


Consolidating your debts will
  • Lead you to a debt-free life and financial freedom
  • Eradicate or reduce your interest rates
  • Bring you to a lower and fixed interest rate
  • Combine your liabilities/debts into one low monthly payments
  • Bring back your credit rating

Moreover, if you are in debt, you should try to clear your debt. Pay all your liabilities by debt consolidation. This is one of ways to survive from this economic crisis.

World Biofuels Industry Open Letter to OPEC

The inevitable constant change of gas price greatly affects the world’s economy. Many businesses, people, food and many others are affected by this crisis. I think it’s about time to find alternative solutions to this problem. I do think biofuel is the solution. The World Biofuels Industry has made a haul over the coals to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries or simply OPEC. The World Biofuels Industry Open Letter to OPEC, that states biofuel will solve the world’s energy crisis. The letter is a rebuke to the statement from OPEC, which said that biofuel would do nothing to recover the energy crisis enthralling the world. The World Biofuels Industry strongly believed that biofuel, particularly, ethanol is a great threat to their trade. I strongly agree with them-- the time has come for us to use alternative fuel. It saves the mother earth too. For details about this recent issue, just click on the link that I provided here.

gas price

The gas is inevitably increasing every week and it is believed that it will go up to $7 a gallon. Can't you believe that? The World Market predicted it to happen in 2010 . If that happens, people would start taking a bus, carpool and drive a bicycle or motorcycle to work. It is very sad that the price of gas is continually increasing. The wage is still the same. How can people survive with this crisis? People from around the world are suffering. I think it is about time to plant vegetables and fruits in the yard to lessen in going to grocery stores. Can you imagine $7 a gallon?

The price of gas is ridiculously and inevitably increasing almost every week. Many people would rather sacrifice and take a bus to their respective destinations. I was amazed that the highest regular gas price is now $4.81 and the cheaper price of $4.09 for the last 48 hours here in San Diego, Ca. I was glad that I work close to my home, which is a mile away. I am using a toyota truck and it is really a fuel economy car. I have that gas since April 26. Thank God, I don't have to buy too soon.

In this day and age, identity theft is rampant in the net. There are many hackers that are trying to steal much personal information from online users. I know there are many websites that are hacker-safe but don’t just rely on that. Overall, you have to be wary in giving your information in the marketplace. I, myself, am skeptical in giving my personal info even to a grocery store. You see, here in the U.S., most grocery stores requires you to get a club card for you to be able to get discounts. I thought it was dumb. I can understand that they are doing that for inventory purposes but you don’t know that they are selling your info to the market. That’s why you get a bunch of unwanted mails every day in your email and mail box, and you have many unwanted calls from telemarketers every day. To be more protected from these issues, I’d recommend www.lifelock.com for Identity Theft Protection. What is this? It protects your identity before you anyone steals it from you. They ask the credit bureaus for fraud alerts, your name will be removed from pre-approved credit and telemarketers, if you lost your wallet with credit cards they will call your credit companies and will do the job for you.
