Major NeoWide Changes

October 31st, 2008 | View all NeoWide news

As NeoWide has past through the most important months of it’s existence, we looked back to analyze and count our profit. The results of our analysis have driven us to conclusions that will change the face of our project.

First and foremost we realized that in spite of the fact that all articles are unique, Google did not generate enough visits to our site.
The bad news is that we won’t be able to pay any of you for the articles you posted. As some of you suggested, we decided to return to the revenue sharing system and so, you will be paid by Google AdSense. We found this to be a fair way to pay writers since some of your articles have generated more visits and others less. This is a better way for you to earn money, even MORE money, as this is an active type of income, not a passive one - meaning you will be paid monthly for the same article (in accordance with the number of visitors your ads have brought), not just once when you publish it. In this case, the more articles, the merrier. Just as a tip, you can bring a lot of visits if you use social networks such as digg.com, stumbleupon.com or others out there. A great tool to do that faster is Social Marker.

We will soon post on the “write 4 money” page a more detailed description of how this system works. I’m sure though, that most of you already know.

Keeping weights off during the holiday

October 31st, 2008 | View all NeoWide news

The holiday is here and there are plenty of chances for us to be exposing to foods and drinks. It should be one of our goals this year to keep our weight intact and still look good on New Year’s day. It’s easy to fall off of our goal and indulge almost everything that we see. You usually get carry away during the holiday but don’t this year. Learn to eat a healthy way even though it’s the holiday and there are plenty of sugars around.

You will see a lot of cookies, cakes and pies and these are small pieces with large calories and fats. It’s like eating one cookie and it has as much fat as one of your full meal. Little desserts are high in calories and fats. You must avoid this at all cost and eat healthier holiday food. It’s even healthier if you eat turkey then eating cakes and pies. Turkey meat will fill you up fast and it’s healthy and not that high in fats. It doesn’t contain much sugar which is also good for the diabetics.

You should also stay away from oily foods like fries foods. Oils will make you gain weight very quickly even though it looks harmless but it’s very high in fats. This is not good for those with heart problems. You can drink red wine throughout the holiday because it can get rid of your heart congestion sometimes. Research has shown that red wine can be good for heart health.

The French eat lots of cheese and fat foods but they have very low heart disease and that is because they drink plenty of red wine. You can include red wine into your daily diet. They are affordable and good for your health. They are different from alcohol though and you should try to drink red wine and not heavy alcohol. Heavy alcohol can be bad for your health.

You will get to be around a lot of parties and they will serve plenty of sweets but stay away from those. Alcohol drinks and milk shakes also have lots of calories in them and you should refrain from those and try to drink something lighter like tea or juice which is more healthy for you. It’s about the lifestyles changes that will make a difference in your weight. They usually play a fitness TV show after January because they know people have gained a lot of weight during the holiday.

You know how to eat healthy but sometimes you don’t do it. People know well what is good for them but they won’t do it. It’s just human nature. Just practice some self discipline and stay away from those bad foods. Lifestyle change in eating habit is what will make you lose weight steadily instead of swing diets. Swing diet is the worst because you often gain all the weight back in no time.

One thing that can help you stay away from unhealthy foods is to eat a full healthy meal before you go to a party. Eating enough will prevent you from being hungry later on. When you’re hungry you’re likely to eat anything that comes your way. Remember those times that you’re hungry. You eat anything that you see even all the chocolate bar in front of you that have so much calories and fats.

Letting yourself go hungry is not a good idea. Drinking a lot of water or tea will also make you feel fuller and make you not want to eat. You can also drink green tea to suppress your appetite and don’t eat as much. The holiday can be a bad thing for those who are trying to lose weight or not gain weight. You’ll be around so much foods that it’ll be hard to keep your hands off of them because they’re good foods. In order to survive the weight gain during the holiday just eat healthy full meal and avoid sugary foods with high fats content.

Cause of Poverty

October 31st, 2008 | View all NeoWide news

What is poverty?

Many of us always ask why and what is poverty. When we say poverty, it is dealing of the condition of being poor. Being poor means a person is lacking of money or property or he is needy, penniless with little or no money or property. If you own nothing at all or having not enough necessities in your life then you will be consider poor or in the stage of poverty and it is the main problem of the whole world.

What causes Poverty?

Well first of all if you mismanage the money then it will be simply gonna be gone in months, days or seconds. If you abuse of oneself  like drugs, gambling, smoking, women, revelers or wild parties then you will be poor sooner or later if you cannot handle it.

Another thing is lack of knowledge. You need to have enough knowledge of all the things around you and what are the consequences in every thing that you made and you need to have a solution in every problem you take.

The worst one is laziness. If you practice this then don’t expect for any money that will come into your life. You need to think that if you will not work then you cannot eat and provide something for yourself and your family so bare in your mind that being lazy is one of the main reasons why poverty exist. If just people are hard worker except for people who are disable then you will not experience poverty.

Exercising and Cancer

October 31st, 2008 | View all NeoWide news

After being diagnosed with cancer I needed to work out more.  I needed to find something that would help me get the exercise he wanted me to have, but not over exert myself too much which I was still going through chemotherapy.  It didn’t take much for me to get really tired after a chemotherapy treatment, but I knew that exercising just a little would go a long way for my recovery and helping me maintain some weight after the treatments were over.  Exercise can help regulate weight, and most importantly help keep you healthy and strong.  While my immune system was weak and barely there exercise helped give me energy and I could feel better the more I do it.  The energy exercising gave me allowed me to be able to do the things I loved more.  I was able to walk down the aisle when my best friend got married, because I exercised a little each day.  Exercising can give you that extra boost to do more and try to be more of the person you used to be before getting diagnosed with cancer.  I remember feeling like a part of me was lost, but when I would exercise I felt like I got a little more of myself back.  But the point was I needed to find something that would work for me.

So what did I start to do?  I started to do yoga.  It was the perfect thing for me to start doing because I was able to do some of the poses while I was sitting or laying in bed.  I didn’t need to really exert myself all that much, but I was still exercising and stretching and toning my muscles even though I was sick.  It didn’t take a lot of work and strength to do different poses.  I was able to lay in bed and use my arms to pull my legs closer to my chest in an effort to stretch my hamstrings.  The more I did yoga the better I felt, the better my appetite came back.  The more I ate and worked out the less sick I felt.  I felt like I was able to conquer anything because I was feeling so much better.  Sure I was still sick and I still got tired and weak a lot, but I still felt great because I was able to do more than I normally would simply because I tried to do yoga, even a little bit each night before bed or in the morning when I woke up.

There are poses that help your respiratory system which was good because my doctor told me that certain medication in my chemotherapy treatments would effect my lungs, so the stronger my lungs were the easier it would be for them to fight against the toxins that could have damaged them.  Doing yoga didn’t just make my lungs and muscles stronger, but my whole body.  It was easier for my body to fight against the toxins from the chemotherapy, the infections from the cancer as well as just strengthening itself.  I honestly think that I got better quicker because I was working out a little bit.  I think the more I worked out, I was helping my body be able to attack and respond to the cancerous cells within my body.  I did try some of the standing poses that are a little harder than sitting and laying down poses.  When I did poses like downward dog, I could feel my blood pressure getting better and I saw it when my nurse took my blood pressure.

Since I was working out throughout my treatments it was easier to step up the workouts after the treatments were over.  It was easier to get into a routine and I found my body wasn’t being so resistant to doing different things like walking a long while.  Granted I felt some pressure and pain after walking say a mile, but it still felt good, I was able to do it and now after several months I can walk farther without the pain.  I was able to focus my attention on working out more because I had already started a little while I was going through treatments.  I maintained a healthy weight throughout the treatments and was able to increase it and maintain it afterward.  Exercising more helps give me an edge and helps keep me healthy as it brings oxygen and stuff to my muscles and organs that they need.  The more you work out the more oxygen and things get to your body and the better it functions through daily activities.

Yoga is such a great exercise because you can do so much without straining your body.  You can tone and strengthen your body without causing pain to yourself, unless you do a pose wrong, which I did and it can be painful.  While I was working out I was able to get rid of body fat and create muscle fat, so the weight that I put on was all good fat.  I look and feel a lot better than I did before I was diagnosed and I think that has to do in part because I have been doing yoga and some other exercises.  Yoga makes your body stronger and tone.  It also has other benefits such as bringing oxygen to your muscles, strengthening different bodily systems and opening different areas that might be tight.  Because there is a focus on listening to your body, I learned how to listen to mine and realize when something was wrong, or when something got better.  I knew what kind of foods I needed to eat and what I needed to drink: milk, water, teas, because I became more in tuned with my body and how it functions.

Another thing that yoga has helped me learn was how to focus on breathing and regulate it more.  The more I did yoga and breathed a certain way I was able to hold my breath longer for the pulmonary tests as well as when I needed to hold my breath for the CT Scans.  Also when I was getting the treatments, I learned that if I breathed a certain way, I felt less nausea and I was able to block out the pain when I got shots and blood work.  Doing yoga through my cancer treatments had so many benefits.  One of the big things was I was able to sit still during radiation and I learned how to hold still and not move which could have been dangerous.  Because I strengthened my arms and shoulders as well I didn’t get pains in them when I held them above my head for fifteen minutes which was how long my radiation treatment was.  I felt strong and I am stronger because of the yoga that I did throughout my treatments.

Now that my treatments are over I am still doing yoga, going for walks on the treadmill as well as Pilates each day.  The more I do the healthier I feel and I think I improve my chances of not having a relapse.  Sure cancer is unpredictable, but exercising and eating right help reduce the risks.  I find myself with a better energy and a healthier appetite.  Yoga has helped my life so much and helped me deal with the stress and emotions related to having cancer.  I still need to exercise and keep myself healthy, so I will keep doing yoga and of course add some extra things into it.  I told my doctor I have been doing yoga and he was very happy.  For anyone who needs to deal with the stresses of cancer, yoga might be the exercise for you.  There are moves you can do while laying down or sitting, so you can do them in bed and you won’t overexert yourself while doing it.

We Need To Read More

October 31st, 2008 | View all NeoWide news

In Thoreau’s third chapter he talks about reading and the importance of reading.  Too often now a days reading has become something that we see as boring and un-entertaining.  We don’t want to read a book when it rains and the sale of books seem to have gone down a little, especially if the book is a collection of poetry.  We don’t want to read anymore because it seems to take to long.  We want things now at this very moment and it is so hard for us to get entertain with a book.  Novels don’t seem to hold our attentions anymore which is why it is so hard to get teens to read a good book like Walden.  That is why too many people think Walden is boring that it is hard to understand.  Thoreau sys many different things about reading and what reading can do for us.  His ideas in this chapter are just as powerful and thought provoking as the past two chapters.

The very first line in the chapter is one that makes you really think about what it says.  With a little more deliberation in the choice of their pursuits, all men would perhaps become essentially students.  What Thoreau is saying is that we are all students no matter if we are in school or not.  Everyday we live we are actively learning new things.  Whenever we decide to do something we learn everything we can about that thing.  We become students to that specific thing.  For example I know someone who has been studying tuba playing for ten years or more and one who has been studying pipe organ performance for longer than ten years.  We chose or pursuits in things and we become students of those things.  We are always students no matter the age, gender, income level, or occupation.  We are students of the world.  Students of life and no matter what there is something more us to learn each day and there is a saying that follows that idea: you learn something new everyday.  Learning is something we constantly do.  Learning doesn’t end when we graduate from high school or college.

With more deliberation we can become better people based on the things we decide to do or not do.  We can decide to take time a hike through the woods and learn about the different trees and see how different animals act in the wild.  We need to take an active role in learning, but even if we don’t we still learn new things just by talking to the people around us.  We are deliberate in our choices of what we want to learn and pay attention to, even if we don’t think about it.  We still make choices about what we want to do and what we want to learn.  We need to be deliberate in our learnings and the things we allow to take up our times.  When we become students of the world we pay attention to different things and the dependence on the luxuries like computers and televisions wouldn’t matter and would become less important.  The quote continues to say and observers, for certainly their nature and destiny are interesting to all alike.  Is Thoreau saying when we make it a point to learn more we become more interesting?  I should say so, because we will be able to have more to talk about on many different subjects.  We become someone interesting to talk about because of our ideas and theories based on what we learned.

Another quote that can make a difference is A written word is the choicest of relics.  It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art.  It is the work of art nearest to life itself.  When he says the written word is choices of relics means that the written word will be around forever.  No one can stop the written word from being produced as long as we have writers and we always will.  The written word was seen as a way to preserve a person, making them almost immortal because they were written about.  Literature is more intimate with us because we need to think and form our own ideas with it.  It provokes our imagination and makes us imagine the setting, characters and time.  Nothing else can make us do that, sure art is thought provoking and makes us think about the work itself.  But it doesn’t make us think of other things the way literature does.  A written word is the choicest of relics.  The written word is something that people will keep going back to in order to learn about the past.  We read classic literature to help us understand things of the past.  Thoreau’s book, even if he didn’t realize it helps us understand the thinking of transcendentalists in his time because the movement was big then.

Literature, according to Thoreau is the only form of art that is closest to life because it is life itself.  People have written about life no matter if it is non-fiction or not.  Even if a story is fiction, there are still some non-fiction elements to it.  “The Awakening” for example is a great work of art that displays the norms and values place on women during the time that Kate Chopin wrote it.  While it is a fiction novel the expectation of women were still true.  When an author writes something they put a little bit of themselves into it, making it life itself.  No matter who you are, you will find something to relate to in almost any story that you read whether it is a mystery, romance or Christian fiction.  While artwork (paintings, sculptures) have reallife aspects, it doesn’t come to life the same way literature does.  He says that it is the work of art is the nearest to life is because it makes us think about life the most.  There are books and novels that provoke emotion in our hearts and makes us pay attention to what has happened in the past.  Books like Eli Weisel’s novel “Night” help us understand what it was like to survive the Holocaust, Malcolm X’s biography helps us understand why he did the things he did and why he believed what he did.  Langston Hughes’ poetry makes us think about the struggle African Americans had to endure to get the rights the so deserved.

This reading, in a high sense, not that which lulls us as a luxury and suffers the nobler facilities to sleep.  What Henry David Thoreau is saying in this part is that reading no longer is a luxury.  It puts people to sleep because they see it as boring and many do not give it half a chance.  It is already in the mind set that it boring and will put us to sleep so it does.  Reading was once such a luxury, something done as a past-time and it was seen as a high honor if someone read your work.  It was a desired quality in women to be readers and read to their husbands or children.  Now a days there aren’t too many men who would want a woman who reads a lot.  It is even rarer to find a man who reads for the fun of it.  Reading is no longer seen as a great quality; no longer a luxury for some, but a hinderance and burden for some.  Students in high school or college groan and complain when they need to read and then write about what they read.

As we see reading can have great advantages and helps us form ideas about things we wouldn’t normally think about.  Going back to the quote about the written word being the choicest of relics, it should be seen as a luxury and a accomplishment to be well read in many genres of literature.  Instead of reading a book we turn the television on.  Television and computer softwares have taken the place of luxury that books once had.  Reading was once considered something that you did to show you education, and standing but now a lot of people think reading is a sign of geekdom or being a shut in.  People relate reading to something that like their grandmother would do or something that “old people” do.  It is rare for someone in their teens to want to read and then really discuss what they read the way it was done in the time Thoreau wrote “Walden.”

When it comes to our level of reading, Henry David Thoreau is a little harsh.  He says yet we learn to read only as far as Easy reading, the primers and class-books, and when we leave school, the “Little Reading and story books, which are for boys and beginners; and our reading, our conversation and thinking, are all on a very low level.  He basically says that our reading level has become the equivalent to grade school.  He thinks that we learn to read only for the basics, only the minimum of what we would need to get a job or something.  He thinks we don’t increase our reading level to read more challenging books other than beginner books and story books that young children would be reading.  He says we learn easy reading and don’t really challenge ourselves with something harder than say Little Red Ridinghood.  And honestly how many of us can say we read and understand Shakespeare?

When our reading is on a low level, Thoreau says our thinking and our conversation levels become lower in level as well.  Which would make sense because the lower your reading ability is, the less you will be able to talk about.  It takes us back to the quote about being essential students.  When we read we learn and our reading level increases as well as our thinking and conversation levels.  So as students we learn to increase every level which helps us grow as people; but when we spend too much time focused and dependant on the so called luxuries of life like watching television all the time or spending the day on the computer instead of reading we don’t really grow higher.  We are stuck at a certain level and it is possible that the level can decrease as well.  I mean the more you read Shakespeare, Thoreau, Emerson, Euripides and others the easier it is to understand them.

Thoreau talks about so many different things in his novel.  He goes from luxuries hindering us, to us needing to cut back on things in our lives to the importance of reading.  And we are only in the third chapter! What else could this man talk about simply from spending two years in nature.  He thought about everything he dealt with on a daily basis and how the things in oure lives effect ourselves for good or for bad.  It is how we use the things we have in life that matters.  Sure computers are a luxury and they can help us keep in touch with friends and family, some use it to earn some money, others use it to shop, but it can also hinder  us because we can spend too much time on it and waste away the day doing frivolous things like watching videos on youtube.  It has become so difficult for us to sit down with a book on the porch to read.  We cannot spend two minutes away from the computer or television, so our cell phones have internet capabilities and video messaging so we can watch different things via our cell phones and other hand held things.  We need to get back to reading more.

One thing we can do to help inprove those levels, is we can <gasp> read more.  We can pick up different books and read them.  We can read a little Emerson, then a little McCourt.  If we really want a challenge try Dante’s Divine Comedy and something easier with John Grishom.  There are always things we can read to learn more and improve our reading levels and the more we read the better our levels in everything can become.  When we read the newspaper we can improve our knowledge in politics, economics and more.  We need to be more well rounded with the things we read and have for conversation purposes.  When we read more we can develop our ideas and theories more.  I have noticed the more I have read the more developed my theology has become.  Read more and become more well rounded.  I know we all have something we find interesting to read.  We can be deliberate as Thoreau said and become well versed in mystery novels.  Read.  Develop those conversation skills and thinking levels.  Thoreau was harsh, but for a reason.

Working at home: Is it productive?

October 31st, 2008 | View all NeoWide news

Working at home is one of the options that we have nowadays with the growing of the internet businesses. There are website owners that just work out of the comfort of their own home. There are also a lot of other jobs that allow people to work at the comfort of their own home. Some people make a great income and other are just making a little here and there. This will depend on what you do and how it’s working out for you. Some Ebay sellers are doing good while other are not selling much. It all depends on your types of career.

Is it productive to work at home? This will be a yes and a no. It’ll all depends on your career choice. Graphic designers do make a good income working out of their own home and so do web developer. It will just depend on your occupation but working at home could be easier and give you more time to hang around your children. You don’t have to pay for gas and you don’t have to deal with bad co-workers. You don’t have to deal with demanding customers either or demanding boss. You can work at your own pace and you don’t have to wake up at 5am in the morning to get ready.

There are people who have a website of their own products and they do make a good living just working at home. There will be more and more opportunities online for people to work at home since most businesses are moving to the net. Every business now has some sort of position online that people can apply for from anywhere in the US and in some cases outside of the US.

These jobs are account managers, marketing agent, graphic designers, customer relations, web developer, writer, editor and so forth. There are even entertainment work at home but most people will not fit in this category. You can teach online and work out of your laptop. It’s the coolest thing to be able to teach and sip on a Margarita at the same time whereas you couldn’t do this inside a classroom.

There’s more freedom and flexibility working from home. You could ultimately be happier than people who work at a physical location. There are many demands and stressors at a physical location. You do have fun and meet new people but you also have stress too. Working at home just cut out all of those stressors. Working at home can provide a good income or a secondary income for most people. It just depends on what you do and how much time and effort you put into it. However, the mainstream type of income still comes from a physical location job.

There are certain people that makes 100K or more per year working at home and there are those that just make like around 20K. It just depends on what you do and how much money you make from it. It depends your knowledge and skills. There are website owners that makes millions per month at home. Not all at home jobs are low income. It all depends again.

If you want to make more money working at home just try to update your skills and learn new skills. If you want to be a graphic designer but didn’t have the education. You can try to get the education and then work at home as a graphic designer. You can even take the classes online. The internet is where most businesses occur nowadays.

Even television is going online. You have watch webisode on Myspace and watch tons of movies on youtube. These people make their money from their TV shows and their youtube videos from ads revenues too. The internet is taking over brick and mortal buildings jobs.

It’s something that will even boom more in the years to come as we see new opportunities are constantly coming up. If you’re creative you can even make up a new business online like an advertising agency where you sit there all day long and work on ads for companies. There are plenty of possibilities online.

Why you need to monitor your children’s internet usage

October 31st, 2008 | View all NeoWide news

The internet is so easily accessible by children nowadays. With the use of the laptop you can get free internet wifi and you don’t even have to set up an account. Therefore children can go online anytime they like and do anything that they want without you even knowing it. This poses a great risk for children. It’s not safe at all for under age children to do anything that they wanted online. Sometimes they can be lure in by predators and they won’t know it. At least adult know exactly what to look for but not underage kids.

It’s important that parent have a talking session about internet use with their children. After all they can even access the internet with their phone or even download stuff to their ipods. Children grow up fast in this day and age and most know about a lot of things that they shouldn’t need to worry about at those ages. We have seen teen getting pregnant at the age of 14 years old. This is kind of young to be having a baby but it’s not uncommon nowadays.

Children should focus on their schooling and worrying about being a kid instead of having to be exposing to weird stuff on the net and even weird people. Adults can handle the profanity online but not children. They often don’t even understand it a maybe even feel oppressed by it. The information that is available on the web could be too much for your child.

They need to know about it and how to use it at time but you should never let them browse it without your supervision because they can be going to website that are no good for them. Children talking in chat room are not a good thing either. There are plenty of predators waiting for a gullible kid. Most website allow kids to be as old as 13 to enter the site. We do see this on my space. There has been a lot of crime resulting from kids joining services on the net and meeting strangers.

Children that are under 18 years of age, you still are their legal guardian and you should watch over them and not only that you’re ultimately responsible for their well being and safety. If you allow them to venture too much on their own then you allow them to be at risk.

There are kids that grow up to be addicted to certain things on the net that are not good for their well being at all. Using the internet is a great thing but it could lead to some serious problems. It’s important that you really have a talking session with your children and tell them what you want them to avoid doing.

For example, you can tell them that they should avoid the chat room because they don’t know who is on the other screen and that they should never give out their contact information or decide to meet up with them. Predators know how to trick children or to pretend to be a good friend. They can offer your children money and things that children love. There are a lot of weird people on the chat room. People that are chatting should at least be 18 years of age or at least be wise enough to chat there.

Most parent nowadays even allow their little thirteen years old to do anything that they wanted on the net and sometimes this might not be in their best interest. It’s ok to have fun on the net but you should at least supervise your children on their activities so that they are safe. How can you do this? You should not allow a laptop in their room. You can hold the laptop and then give it to them when you are home so that you can supervise your children. They can have a pc with no internet if they need to type up their work.

If your children are under 18 you have every right as their legal guardian to supervise their work. Have you seen some movies rating and how they said that certain movies can only be watched with parental supervision? Even movies have this standard to protect children from being exposing to things that they’re not ready for or not even legal for them. Sometimes it’s not legal to impose certain things on underage kids.

The goal is to let your children use the net but it should be with your supervision. You can sit next to them while they’re searching and helping them along the way. You should never allow them to use it alone in their room by themselves. You can explain to them those certain places on the net are not safe for them and that they shouldn’t visit those sites. Good children should listen to you.

It’s just that most parents nowadays seem to let their kids do whatever they wanted on the internet and may regret it one day if their kids are missing. The internet is a safety hazard for some children. It’s alright for children who are beyond intelligent and know how to protect themselves and know how to be safe. We don’t have to worry about these children but the rest we do need to worry about. In the US children can do whatever that they wanted when they reach 18 years of age but until them it’s the parent’s responsibility to help keep their children safe.

What to do about family conflict

October 31st, 2008 | View all NeoWide news

What do you do if you have family conflict? It seems that nowadays most of us run into these questions a lot. There is a good of number of families that are dysfunctional and their children and wife suffer from the result of it. A bad family will ruin everything for a child. If you even look at history you will see that there are a great of number of people and even celebrities to mention have come from really bad families.

Some people manage to rise above their problems and other have not. It’s not easy trying to move out of your home and trying to support yourself. It’s one of the most difficult things you have to do in life. Yet, there is at least half of the population that is experiencing family problems. Why is this so when the family is the most loving thing for us? Strangers don’t take care of us and they don’t provide a roof over our head but the people that do help us are also giving us a hard time. It’s a paradox sometimes.

There are people who have so much family problems that they stop doing everything in life and fall apart over their problems. Some people go to the extreme of doing harmful things to themselves. This is not how it should be but it does happen all the time. You probably have seen enough of it.

What kind of problems do people have in the family? Most of the time is the issue of finance. People are stressed over money. They work hard and they don’t have much to flow around. They have to take care of many kids and they are just not happy. They work too much and they don’t have time for themselves.

One of the spouses doesn’t work and then things start to tension up. One of the reasons why family has problems is that it’s the issue of finance. If you ask people they will tell you that it’s over finance. I have seen my uncle’s family fall apart over finance. They can get really bad with money. Yes! Money comes in between all relationships.

One thing that you can do to help out your situation is to find out what the problem is and then work on it. There must be plenty of clues to find out what the problem is. It’s not that hard to figure out. Usually the dad works too hard and he get stressed out if your mom doesn’t work. He is working hard to provide for everyone and this is driving him to the ground. It can get really bad.

I have seen it with one of my rep at work. He did some physical harm to his wife and children after he got laid off from his job. It’s not that hard to find a job after having so much experience but I guess people really overact. They overact over a little thing. Just calm down and take a deep breath and start solving your problems instead of imposing it on others.

If you have at least gone through college they would have already taught you how to handle personal stress. Losing your job is a depressing thing but it’s not the end of the world. You can get unemployment benefit for up to one year and in the mean time you can find other work. You should save for a rainy day so that you don’t lose your mind when you lose your job. Some people live on pay check to paycheck and this is never the best solutions. Plan early and get ready for the unexpected. This is what most people would tell you and yet not a lot of people follow this advice. You never know when the hurricane is going to hit your town just like in Texas recently. A lot of people in Texas lost everything and now they’re barely starting over again. You never know when a natural disaster might hit your location and you could lose everything. The same with a job you will never know when you’ll get laid off so plan to save for that rainy day.

Family run into problems but one of those will mostly be based on financial problems. Couple fights over money. They fight over writing a will. They fight over each others spending habit. They get stressed out if there’s not enough money to flow around for their daily livings. Finance will always be the culprit of most family’s problems. What can you do to help? If only one spouse works then you can join force and get a job.

This will alleviate their stress and you’ll have more money flowing around. If you’re the children and you’re old enough to get a job then do so and help out your folks. Parents have to take care of children all of their lives and it get depressing sometimes. If your family has become a place where you can’t thrive anymore then move out to another place. Move in with your grandmother or your boyfriend. Do something about it but don’t sit around hoping for it to end. Take action and have control over your life.
