The app now has 2 million downloads. Estimates are that if Nay had released his game for the usual price of a dollar instead of having it be free, he would have been able to pay for a full college education 13 plus times.

Displaced by an unthreatening physics based foe... Irony?

This goes to show you that with a bit of ambition and an understanding of the role that microtransactions have taken on in our society, that it is possible to find financial opportunities nearly anywhere.

Thanks to some fantastic holiday sales that stores are offering, CNN has reported that retails sales have boosted considerably. This is a good sign for our economy. Sales exceeded expectations, and went up as high as 6%. Fortune 500 companies have been particularly pleased with these results. Sales at teen/young adult chain Abercrombie & Fitch soared 22% last month, and specialty clothing and accessories seller Zumiez posted a 20% increase in its sales. Limited Brands, parent of Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works chains, logged a 10% gain, trouncing analysts’ expectations for a 4% rise. This is good news for the everyman as well, as jobs will begin to increase with this gain in revenue.

Adherence to these rules help our customers mitigate losses, while at the same time, access profits. Some of the people who have been unsuccessful with Optioneer are those who have ignored the risk management rules and have taken on more risk than recommended.

Some customers have said.
1.”I began telling my family and friends, how pleased I was with the Optioneer. Since then, four of my children are trading with Optioneer; and five of my brothers and sisters. My ex-wife has her own account as well. We are all happy and excited about the Optioneer method of trading.”

2. “Optioneer is a trading strategy that is risk tolerant and requires very little of my time. As a retiree I want freedom to do my own “thing” and not have to spend hours looking at the daily market activity. While any type of trading has some risk, I believe that Optioneer’s strategy minimizes that risk. The staff at Optioneer are very dedicated and informative. They know their stuff! I highly recommend Optioneer.”

3. “I have now realized that if the rules are followed, that the Optioneer strategy fits hand in hand with my current investments. I feel if done properly Optioneer is a truly amazing risk management strategy.”

There is a risk of loss in trading futures & options This website refers to “Testimonials”. No representation is being made that the use of the trading methodology will generate profits or eliminate losses from trading. In fact, some Optioneer customers have had significant losses even if they have followed all the rules. None of the results referenced in any testimonial are necessarily indicative of trading results that may or will be experienced in the future. In addition, losses may have been incurred subsequent to the date on which the testimonial was provided.

Here is the beauty of it for us, we can manipulate the system if we just do a few things.  Its kind of like that idea that taking a test doesn’t show how knowledgeable you are, it shows you are good at taking that test.  A good credit score doesn’t show how good you are at paying off debt, but how good you are at building credit.

If we can learn how to build credit and implement those principles in our lives than we can be given more opportunities at financial success through our higher credit.  Getting your credit score back in shape is like getting back in shape physically.  You can’t just decide to do it and expect it to happen in a couple weeks. 

To fix your credit score you will have to have sustained effort in following the tricks to building credit.  This article gives some great ideas on how to build up your credit from top, to bottom.  I would also love to hear any of your tricks to build credit.

How to win the credit-score game

Unsurprisingly the credit card companies have taken another help themselves stance on how to squeeze the world dry of more cash.  I won’t spoil the surprise for you, but I will tell you that fees and initiatives have increased and their charity hasn’t.  Again, big surprise.

So here is all that I am trying to say.  No one, but you and your loved ones (even then sometimes not) care about how you are doing financially.

What does this mean?  You are going to have to stand up for you.  Control your finances.  Lets use this credit card deal.  If your creditor makes changes on you, you make changes to adapt to them.  Don’t let them be a step ahead of you.

That is why reviewing your finances is a huge nessesity every so often.  Watch the economy, watch your creditors and watch yourself in all that you do financially.

If you don’t care about your finances than likely no one does and you can plan on being in a world of hurt real soon.
