Real quick… I received this email in my Facebook Inbox today in response to an article I posted:
Name Withheld April 13, 2010 at 3:38pm
Subject: Your article
Jim,
Read the article you sent out last evening. Hit home on MANY MANY levels. I am in the process of trying to save my home – not in nearly as bad a situation as Mr. Brown in that I’ve been able to find a job – but a lot of my dreams have been put on hold. I have thought for a LONG time about real estate investing, but for various reasons have never gotten started. I’m anxious to get started and this article really hit me hard. I’m going to finally make it to one of your trainings and see how I can get myself going. Thanks for the nudge…NAME WITHHELD
I’ve gotta tell you – this one’s hit home for a bunch of folks, so if you haven’t read this article now! Here’s the original email:
SUBJECT: Over 1.2M Homes Destroyed…How To Save Yours!
In the midst of all this “economic recovery” talk, I’ve often wondered
what’s happening to many regular folks, like you and I, as the talking
heads focus on a 29 point gain in the Stock Market.
I found this piece last night on MSNBC and thought that you’d
appreciate reading it:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36231884/ns/business-eye_on_the_economy/
Here’s the skinny: Over 1.2 million homes have been destroyed in the
current recession. That’s NOT jobs lost…it’s how many families have
lost jobs, been downsized and gone so broke that they’ve lost their
homes and have no chance of getting into a new one any time soon!
WARNING: Reading the article CAN BE depressing…but it shouldn’t be!
I have a few well-tested ideas on how you can prevent this from
happening to you! AND if it’s already happened to you–I’ll show you
how you can get back on your feet FAST!
Just click here to find out how:

For the record–we WILL NOT try to sell you some books, tapes or CD’s
when you get there…in fact, I’ll GIVE THEM TO YOU! You’ve got
nothing to lose so register now!

What you learn over Spring Break could easily buy you the whole summer

Did You Know?
About 42 million Americans say that if they missed one paycheck, they would have to pay an important bill (like their rent, utilities, or car payment) late or with a credit card. In other words, a lot of hard-working folks are living paycheck to paycheck!
It’s not a comfortable way to live, that’s for sure—I mean, what happens if you get sick, or have an accident, or have an unexpected expense like a car bill, or what if you get laid off? And yet, if you’re used to living paycheck to paycheck it might feel like you don’t have many other choices, right?
Well, I’ve got good news! Getting out of this cycle *can be* simple. Sure, it’ll take a bit of time, effort and energy from you, but after just a few months you’ll be so glad you did it.
Here’s the plan:
1. Change your mind!
It all starts and ends in your mind! Living paycheck to paycheck is basically a countdown to zero…Zero dollars in your bank account, that is! And believe it or not, having money left over at the end of each month can take a little getting used to. As you build your emergency fund (which we’ll talk about next), your ideas about money will start to change–and getting close to zero in the bank will feel uncomfortable! That feeling is a very good sign that your mindset is starting to change!
2. Start an emergency fund!
A so-called “emergency fund” is the safety net that you use to pay for those “unexpected expenses”. For example after a particularly bad snow storm here I hit a pothole that flattened my tire! The tire cost $250 that I wasn’t expecting… but that’s not all! Just a week later I came out to the driveway and the same tire was flat…Again! I figured the tire was just defective, so I went back to the mechanic to get a new one under my warranty. It turns out that the tire was fine – BUT the rim that the tire was sitting on was cracked (and badly) because of the same pothole! Whammo! Another $800! That’s what the “emergency fund” is for! It takes care of hard times, unexpected problems, and other money troubles that would otherwise keep you up at night. Start by setting aside just $10 or $20 each week, and don’t touch it! Give yourself time to get used to having slightly less money in your pocket…you’ll find that in no time that you hardly miss that money at all! Of course you can increase the amount you put into the emergency fund.
3. Cut Your Expenses
I know! Can you believe that I just said that? Well, cutting expenses might seem impossible right now, but take some time to track your spending! Spend 30 days trying to figure out exactly where your money is going. You might find that making a few simple changes can free up a small chunk of money each month, which you can add to your cushion. Some great places to look include social activities, lunch money, Starbucks (No way!), or entertainment. Maybe you don’t watch ALL of the premium movie channels you’re paying for. If you’re unsure whether or not you can cut it, you probably can. Add up how much you cut, and stash that money in your emergency fund.
4. Increase your income
This is the one that I’m an expert in…and it’s FUN, too! I’m sure you’re already working hard enough, so that can’t be your problem. Asking the boss for a raise is just plain crazy in these economic times, and if you’re like most people, you don’t have much free time to squeeze a second (or third) job in either! Well, good news…Working harder, asking for a raise, and getting a second job aren’t the solutions that I’m going to offer you! Not by a long shot!
Instead of doing more of the same old stuff that never gets us ahead anyway–try this advice:
“Work Smarter Instead of Harder!”
I know…easy for me to say, right? Well it wasn’t always that way! I had the exact same problem as you…I would work all week long and get paid for just one week’s work. Nothing wrong with that, but I still had the same bills every month and I just couldn’t put in any more hours in order to get ahead! In other words, I’d work once and then get paid once! I had to figure out how to work once and get paid FOREVER!
And that’s what Real Estate Investing has done for me (and thousands of others)! I now have the ability to give myself a raise when I want to, get money to pay for the things I want-a whole lot easier, and create all the “emergency fund” money that I need to feel comfortable when things just aren’t going my way!
Would you like to learn how to do the same thing for yourself and your family? Well, you’re in luck because next week at 7PM I’m going to teach you how!
Monday, April 5 at the Glendora Fire Company in Glendora, NJ
Tuesday, April 6 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in King of Prussia, PA
Wednesday, April 7 at the Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia in Bensalem, PA
Thursday, April 8 at the Radnor Hotel in St. David’s, PA
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done Real Estate before, or if you have no money or even bad credit! It doesn’t matter how busy you are, or even if you love your job! Real Estate can be effortless and easy…when it’s done the right way!
In just a few short months, you could be sitting on a nice cushion. And as long as you keep these new habits up, you could be free from the paycheck-to-paycheck life forever!
Just call 866-522-2621 and we’ll save you a seat for next week’s training sessions!
Did I mention it’s FREE, too! In fact…I’m NOT going to try to sell you some books and tapes, either! Instead–I’ll GIVE them to you just for showing up! You’ll get your own copy of my book, Live The Real Estate Lifestyle: Seven Steps You Can Take Today to Leave the Rat Race and Start Living the Lifestyle You’ve Always Wanted! AND a CD Audio Training Program called The 3 Biggest Mistakes In Real Estate Investing Today and How To Avoid Them! Together, these two retail for over $79, but you’ll get them both for FREE – Not to mention the terrific Real Estate Investor education that I’m going to give you there!
Again, all you’ve got to do is call the Toll Free registration hotline at 866-522-2621! I look forward to seeing you there next week!
Good Fortune,

First I want to say “Thank you!” for all the great feedback on yesterday’s emails. It seems as though I am not the only person that’s frustrated by the downs and downs of his 401(k)…it looks like many of you have been looking for a lifeline in these uncertain times and I’m happy to be the one that can provide it to you!
If you haven’t done so yet — feel free to reach out to me by email at jim@realestatelifestyle.com and share your thoughts. But more importantly let’s take some action together! Register for one of my upcoming training nights for next week at www.realestatelifestyle.com/freetraining right now…You’ll be glad you did!
So I was browsing around the Yahoo! Finance website and found this neat little article that I’ll be discussing on today’s Real Estate Lifestyle Radio Program:
For many, their backup plan for a bad 401(k) is Social Security, right? After all this IS the United States and if the stock market fails us, our government will certainly be there for us with a bailout, right? Right? Well think again…
I turns out that they don’t have any money either! And they’ve been “borrowing” from the Social Security Trust Fund so quickly that it is now empty. You see, it had been projected that SS wouldn’t run out of money until 2043. Then the estimate was changed to 2024. And now just one short year later – Social Security is now running a 28 billion dollar deficit for THIS YEAR!
Here’s a quick snippet from the article, although I do hope you’ll read the whole thing at the link I gave you above:
“Social Security hasn’t been cash-negative since the early 1980s, when it came so close to running out of money that it was making plans to stop sending out benefit checks. That led to the famous Greenspan Commission report, which recommended trimming benefits and raising taxes, which Congress did. Those actions produced hefty cash surpluses, which until this year have helped finance the rest of the government.”
How the heck did this happen? Well, when you borrow more than you can or plan to pay back you run a ‘deficit’ – - and that’s exactly what they’ve done with OUR Social Security Taxes! Spent it before we could! Do you really think the government (regardless of its intent) can take care of your money better than you can? Not with a running National Debt of $12,357,554,517,349.07 as of today (February 9, 2010). It seems that they know less about money than ANY of us!
Do you want the power to take control of your own retirement nest egg? Next week, I’ll be holding a f.r..e.e- training in your area to teach you exactly how to do it for yourself! It won’t cost you anything but a few hours of your time, but you’ll gain a skill that will enrich your family for generations to come!

I wanted to send a quick update to today’s earlier email – the stock market and the Dow Jones Industrial Average just closed the day DOWN yet another 103.84 at 9,908.39. This is yet another crushing blow to the safety and security of your personal retirement plan…and your wealth.
How do you deal with your 401(k) when you can’t even control it? Well the simple truth is that you cannot…
But I have good news! There is one sure-fire way to guarantee your retirement income and it has nothing to do with risky stocks. It has to do with an absolute staple of the American diet, the ultimate necessity for all human beings, an investment that refuses to be ignored and never goes out of style…That’s Real Estate! Why? Well let’s see if you can complete this statement:
Food, Clothing and ___________!
If you said “shelter” then, congratulations — you’ve got it right. These are three recession-proof industries that will never go out of style!
For example, Kraft Foods (you know, the mac n’ cheese folks) are the #1 food company in the US and the #2 food company in the world – they’ve reported record earnings in a time when other (non-food) companies are busy singing the blues! Did you know that Warren Buffett owns over 9% of Kraft Foods? As long as people insist on eating, Kraft (and lots of other well-run food makers) will continue to do well.
Same with Real Estate! As long as people insist on living indoors, and as long as the population continues to increase — Real Estate will continue to do well. That’s why you should be in Real Estate, too! Your 401(k) may be taking the beating of a lifetime, but it’s a Buyer’s Market for real estate investors. Right now we can name our price, and take advantage of great financing options, too!
What’s that?
Well never fear! Next week, I’ll be holding a free- training in your area to teach you exactly how to do it! It won’t cost you anything but a few hours of your time, but you’ll gain a skill that will enrich your family for generations to come!

So the DOW Jones Industrial Average is back at the 10,000 range…once again! With over 600 points lost in just the last 30 days, people are finally beginning to wonder:
“How will I ever retire with just a 401(k)?”
My argument is this…You’re just starting to wonder about this now? The truth is that the DOW Jones – - arguably loaded with the Gold Standard U.S. Companies has gone exactly NOWHERE in over 10 years! Compare almost any of your mutual funds and you’ll see that they’ve gone virtually nowhere*** as well!
The chart below shows that the DOW also traded in the 10,000 all the way back in April of 1999! Nope…That is NOT a typo!
So look at it this way…If you had put $10,000 into the DOW (or into your mutual funds) in April of 1999 you’d have even LESS money today – Over 10 solid years later! And even less if you you consider taxes and your Fund Manager’s fees! So my question for you is:
“How will you EVER retire with just a 401(k)?”
The obvious answer is that you can’t! No matter what your Fund Manager says, no matter what Forbes, or Obama or the Union says. They already have their retirement plans set up and the truth is – YOU and I are the ones paying for it. We need to take matters into our own hands…and we need to do it now, before it’s too late!
That’s why I’m offering you a free training next week that will teach you how to understand another asset class (Real Estate) that’s based on cashflow, instead of appreciation. It’s a common sense approach in an uncommon financial world. Investing just a few short hours of your time will open your eyes to the type of financial security you never knew existed!

***On January 5, 2010 USA Today reports that mutual funds returned only 1.11% on average over the last 10 years! Next week, I’ll show you how to get at least a 25% return in under 90 days…that’d be worth seeing wouldn’t it?
Let’s make 2010 a success together!

The spring buying season typically takes off in March and runs through May. But buyers who want to claim this year’s tax credit — up to $8,000 for first-time buyers and up to $6,500 for repeat buyers — must have signed purchase contracts by April 30. And they have to complete the deal by June 30.
So my earlier post talked about the rebound of the housing market as identified by the 2009 S&P/Case Schiller Home Price Indices Report. You’ve had the opportunity to think about it – maybe even read the whole CNBC article…And now you know that you should be in the Real Estate game – or risk kicking yourself for missing out on the next Real Estate boom. After all, your patience has won out – you had the suspicion that prices were overvalued back then – but now…a whole different ball of wax!
Real Estate Prices are low but on the way back UP and that’s when the smart money arrives to the game, right? But where’s the money gonna come from? Well it turns out that Mortgage Interest Rates have fallen for a 3rd straight week! The full CNBC article is here:
bankrate.com/finance/mortgages/rates-move-lower-for-3rd-week.aspx
Here’s a snippet:
The benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell 8 basis points this week, to 5.15 percent, according to the Bankrate.com national survey of large lenders. A basis point is one-hundredth of 1 percentage point. The mortgages in this week’s survey had an average total of 0.45 discount and origination points. One year ago, the mortgage index was 5.59 percent; four weeks ago, it was 5.24 percent.
The benchmark 15-year fixed-rate mortgage fell 6 basis points, to 4.56 percent. The benchmark 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage fell 5 basis points, to 4.63 percent.
Mortgages are dirt cheap – but we know that can’t last forever! That’s why YOU’VE gotta take action, NOW!
The best Real Estate in the country is changing hands right now – for pennies on the dollar! So how do you get your piece of the pie? Easy! All next week I’m holding my F^re3 Real Estate Lifestyle Trainings – and you’re invited! In fact, my own Banker, Mike Bajsec is going to be there to teach you exactly how to get primo financing today!
