Leading economic expert Jim Rogers traveled to 150 countries over 150000 miles in three years - follow his adventures here on FentonReport. In this video Jim and Paige visit Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan in Japan Copyright Jim Rogers - provided as a special contribution to The Fenton Report. www.fentonreport.com The Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is one of the largest public aquariums in the world. It is located in the ward of Minato in Osaka, Japan, near Osaka Bay. The walk-through aquarium displays several habitats in 16 tanks, along with the marine life inside them. The habitats are from the Ring of Fire and the Ring of Life areas of the Pacific Ocean. The largest tank holds 5400 cubic metres of water, and a variety of fish including a manta-ray and a whale shark. The tanks used in the aquarium are made of 314 tonnes of acrylic glass - roughly 1.5 times the world's annual production. The largest single pane measures six meters by five meters by thirty centimeters and weighs roughly 10 tons. At the thicknesses used, regular glass would not only be unwieldy, but would not have a desirable amount of transparency. Kaiyukan is located five minutes' walk from Osakako Station on the Osaka Municipal Subway Chuo Line. The Tempozan Harbor Village Ferris wheel is located next to the aquarium.

Let's face it, adults and children often have very different definitions of the word vacation. Kids aren't likely to stay excited long on shopping trips or sight seeing excursions, just as parents aren't thrilled with the thought of amusement parks and miniature golf courses day after day. This makes it tough when planning any trip, from a weekend getaway to a month-long retreat. Still, there are those special places that offer the perfect blend of activities that both kids and adults can not only enjoy, but can enjoy together. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, Breckenridge, Colorado, is one of these towns. While the list is seemingly endless, here are a few ideas of activities to get your family started on the right foot in Breckenridge.
Go for a ride. Because a ride in the car might have your kids screaming in less than ten minutes, gearing up the family for a bike ride is a better option in Breckenridge. Voted one of the top ten best places to take kids on a bike ride, Breckenridge boasts trails that range from easy to moderate to difficult, making it a perfect spot for the whole family.
Give the kids some time off. Breckenridge hosts a day and an evening program specifically designed to give your kids some time away to participate in fun activities with other kids. Known as "Kids Day Off" and "Kids Night Out," these programs include gold mine tours, pottery painting, swimming, and various other kid-friendly activities. Plus, this program lets the parents have some time away too!
Skate to it. The Breckenridge Public Skateboard Park is complete with rails, ramps, and jumps that will give your kids a place to practice on their boards or in-line skates.
Dream and play. The Mountain Top Children's Museum is a great place for kids of all ages to learn and participate in interactive creative activities. Additionally, exhibits such as "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Winter Wonders" dazzle the imagination.
Recreate. Breckenridge's recreation center is a fantastic place for both kids and adults. With two climbing walls, an indoor pool, basketball, racquetball, soccer, softball, and tennis, the kids aren't likely to get bored quickly.
Raft away. Take the whole family on a guided rafting adventure in Colorado's ripping white water.
Get out and hike. When the snow is melted, hiking is a great family activity that changes as the seasons change. Involve the kids in wildflower hunting, pine tree identification, or wildlife viewing. And, when the snow does fall, strap on snow shoes and take a walk in the winter wonderland of fresh powder.
Take a lesson. Breckenridge is a great place to get kids out on the slopes, for the first time or for the hundredth. For beginners, rest assured that Breckenridge Ski Resort offers top notch ski and snowboard instructors that will take your kids on half day or full day lessons, giving you a chance to tackle the mountain on your own.
Get some air. Take the family up the BreckConnect Gondola, granting breathtaking views of Breckenridge, Summit County, and Cumberland Gulch, all while suspended high in the air.
Fly in the sky. A hot air balloon ride is more than just a good view in Breckenridge. It's an exhilarating experience that the whole family will be talking about for months. Breckenridge offers both summer and winter rides.
If your family wants to put a twist on its normal routine, Breckenridge is the perfect place to explore. Kids have endless outdoor activities to satisfy their wild side, and adults can have just as much fun by their side.
Entertaining the Kids is an Easy Task in Breckenridge

Great Wall of China outside of Beijing - Travel - Jim Rogers World Adventure Tube. Duration : 3.88 Mins.
Leading economic expert Jim Rogers traveled to 150 countries over 150000 miles in three years - follow his adventures here on FentonReport. In this video Jim and Paige learning about living in China. Copyright Jim Rogers - provided as a special contribution to The Fenton Report. www.fentonreport.com The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire from Xiongnu attacks during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall stretches over approximately 6400 km (4000 miles) from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia, but stretches to over 6700 km (4160 miles) in total. At its peak, the Ming Wall was guarded by more than one million men. It has been estimated that somewhere in the range of 2 to 3 million Chinese died as part of the centuries-long project of building the wall.

Interview with Jeff Maziareck, author of "Spirituality Simplified"
Today we are pleased to have Jeff Maziareck with us. Jeff, after much study and research into the subject of spirituality has written a book that is not like any other book on the topic. Jeff, welcome to Reader Views.
Irene: "Spirituality Simplified" - seems like a book that gives a novice understanding of the basics of spirituality. What inspired you to write such a book?
Jeff: In the late 1980s when I first discovered the subject of "spirituality", it didn't take very long for me to become thoroughly engrossed in it. In fact, over a period of ten years I ultimately purchased and read nearly 200 books in this category. In that process it occurred to me one day in early 1999 there really wasn't, at least to my knowledge, an existing book that could be described as the ideal "first book" for a person who was new to the spiritual path--a book that could effectively introduce the subject, and at the same time serve as a "road map" to other content that I felt could assist them in their process of self-discovery.
While I thought the idea had some merit, it wasn't until I visited a friend of mine in Florida by the name of Kaye O'Bara that I was actually inspired to move forward and begin to write the book. Kaye and her daughter, Edwarda, were the subject of a book by Wayne Dyer called "A Promise is a Promise." I had initially met her in 1998 after reading that book and then stopping by her home in N. Miami for a visit. During February of 1999 on a return trip to see her, we spent an entire afternoon together, and that is when the subject of my idea for the book arose. After hearing me speak about it, Kaye immediately voiced her opinion on the matter; namely, that I need to write the book because it was obvious I had great passion for the subject. I decided to take her advice, and began work on the book promptly upon my return home. At the beginning of the project I didn't really expect to ever publish a book, but proceeded anyway because I felt it would be an excellent way for me to crystallize my philosophy to that point, and come to better understand myself.
Irene: What is spirituality in your terms?
Jeff: In my terms spirituality is coming to the awareness that each and very person has within them a "spark" of the Creator, or God if you prefer. In essence, we are all connected to the very force that created us, and each of us therefore has the innate potential to be deeply compassionate and unconditionally loving. Spirituality also requires each of us to accept that our connection to the Creator/God also means, by default, that at some level we are connected to all other people as well. In addition, the path of spirituality requires an individual be willing to leave no stone unturned in the process of coming to truly know themselves. That means being ready to question literally everything they have been taught about spirituality, and for that matter, religion as well.
Irene: Some people would disagree with you that we are all connected. They believe that their path to God is the only way and feel that they have been chosen to convince others of the same. How do you justify your belief?
Jeff: To answer the question first, I don't really feel that I must justify my belief to anyone. I have come to believe what I believe based on my own research and study, and my objective in writing the book was not to persuade anyone to believe exactly the same way. The purpose of writing the book was to share information, ideas, and experiences that hopefully would be of some value to spiritual seekers. If people profit from it great, they are responsible for that; if they are annoyed by it that is their responsibility as well. As for people who would disagree that we are all connected, I would recommend they spend some time reading about what quantum physicists have known for quite sometime, which is the raw material of creation is, in reality, a field of energy that permeates every square inch of the Universe, and as such, connects everything, including people. Finally, for those who feel that their way to God is the only way, it's not my business to convince them otherwise, and I wouldn't ever make an effort to do so.
Irene: Many people interchange the terms spirituality and religion. What is the difference?
Jeff: In my view spirituality and religion are not equivalent terms. As I say in the final chapter of the book, spiritual growth is a lot like walking a high wire without a safety net, because unlike traditional religious practice there is no rigid dogma that exists to provide one with all of the 'answers'. Instead, on this path an individual takes on the responsibility for finding his or her own answers to serious questions such as: Who or what is God? What is the purpose of my life? What is the meaning of life in general? With religion, one simply has to accept the dogma is the truth because someone says that it is; questioning of the dogma is typically frowned upon, and particularly so in sects that are firmly attached to particular teachings. Spiritual growth is a never-ending process that requires the individual to continually refine their philosophy based on their personal process of discovery. As such, it requires a commitment to do the work, to dig and dig for answers that resonate positively within. It's really not about "getting somewhere," it's about "being" fully with the process of self-discovery.
Irene: Spiritual people often call themselves "enlightened." What is your view in this area?
Jeff: There is an old saying I heard a while back, the origin of which I cannot recall, that essentially states the following: 'he who speaks does not know, he who doesn't speak, knows.' For someone to outwardly claim they are enlightened suggests to me they are trying to somehow distinguish themselves as being ahead of the pack, so to speak. Rhetorically speaking, what is the standard by which to judge whether someone is truly enlightened? In my experience it is all an individual process and looking to put one's self on some kind of grading scale of progress is a desire rooted in ego, not in Spirit.
Irene: What spiritual teachers have you used as a basis of your information?
Jeff: Within the book there are nearly 80 quotations from about 40 different books. That translates into a wealth of content from a number of different authors. The intent was to use the "best of the best" content that I had uncovered over the various books I read. In that process, I've come to feel that there are a handful of teachers that have had the most impact on my continually evolving spiritual philosophy, they are: Fr. Anthony DeMello, because I greatly enjoy his very practical, no-nonsense approach to the topic; Stuart Wilde, because he never tries to appear like he has it all solved, and honestly his irreverent approach makes me laugh; and Wayne Dyer, because the very first book I read was his title "You'll See It When You Believe It", and it truly was a life-changing work for me.
Irene: Wayne Dyer certainly brought a message in that book. Would you tell our reading audience a little more about what the title really means? The adage is reversed.
Jeff: The essence of what Mr. Dyer is saying is this: our thoughts are real "things" or energy impulses if you will, that go out into the world and serve as attractors to experience(s). Or to say it another way, we become what we think about all day long. If we focus our thoughts (and feelings) on that which we want to manifest in our lives, then over time that manifestation will come to pass; the same applies to focusing our thoughts on what we don't want. This is by no means a concept that originated with Dyer, as centuries ago the Buddha reportedly said the following: "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world." With that said, the meaning of the title of Dyer's book is therefore the more accurate way of presenting how things work--since our thoughts create our world, we will only see things arrive up in our life when we think (or believe) that they will.
Irene: There are many spiritual concepts that seem to overlap into the metaphysical realm. What are some of them and how do you view the overlap?
Jeff: There clearly is some overlap between spiritual and metaphysical concepts. The primary difference in my experience is that pure metaphysics doesn't seem to have as much focus on the Creator/God itself; instead it appears to concentrate more on the human being's place in the universe, while also describing so-called universal principles or laws. In addition, it incorporates things like astrology, channeling, and other paranormal phenomena, whereas spirituality is typically less concerned with these subjects. The area of universal principles or laws is one in which the overlap can be seen. For example, both talk about the existence of the principle (or law) of cause and effect, as well as others including oneness, detachment, and abundance. I think the key for spiritual seekers is not to get caught up in labels and categorizations, but instead to be willing to consider information from all kinds of sources as they traverse their path of self-discovery.
Irene: You talk about "spiritual principles" in your book. What are some of them?
Jeff: Within the book I specifically address six principles I felt were most important for the novice spiritual seeker in particular. The principles described in the book are the following: Cause & Effect, Present Moment Awareness, Oneness, Abundance, Non-attachment (or Detachment), and Forgiveness. At the end of each chapter I also include a "related reading list" driven down to the chapter level to assist the reader in learning more about these principles, and in turn, others as well depending on the book they reference.
Irene: Some of them seem so mystical, especially when people are encouraged to connect with their Higher Self. Tell us about the Higher Self.
Jeff: To me the Higher Self is the aspect of ourselves that is Divine in nature, the part of us that looks out upon our life as a "witness" of all that is occurring here in the physical world, and which always knows the most appropriate choice for us in any given moment. Our primary challenge is to learn to consistently and consciously connect with this higher aspect by developing the ability to truly quiet our mind and be open to its advice and counsel. Clearly, this is not easy given all of the distractions of daily life combined with the effects of all the emotional and intellectual programming we have been exposed to since our arrival on earth in a physical body. Nonetheless, as my favorite musical artist Todd Rundgren once said, "If you want different choices, you've got to hear the quiet voices."
Irene: In your book you talk about "cause and effect." Do you believe this is Karmic?
Jeff: As I say in the book, the principle of cause & effect essentially serves as our personal boomerang, bringing back to us at some point, and in some form, whatever we put out into the world. According to this principle, every effect one experiences had to have a cause. In my view, the primary lesson to be learned is that in order to progress in life we simply must do our best to become more conscious of the choices we are making, for they are causes that in turn create effects. This includes choices about what we think about as well. The challenge we face in this area is that over time so much of our decision-making/choice-making, and our thoughts themselves for that matter, emerge from subconscious programs that operate in the background, so to speak.
As for "karma", as I say in the book, it is a bit unnerving when one stops to think about all the causes one may have initiated in the past (i.e., from this lifetime and perhaps even past lifetimes), that could ultimately emerge as some type of negative effect. Rather than getting all caught up in that, in my experience the most constructive approach is to 1. Focus on creating new causes in each present moment (i.e., thoughts, feelings, actions) that will ultimately lead to positive effects, and 2. Make best efforts to "reframe" negative circumstances into positive ones by looking for the lesson embedded within the experience (i.e., what is the Universe/Spirit trying to teach me here?). From my perspective, accepting cause & effect as a working principle in one's life is very empowering, because it compels you to acknowledge your role as an active creator of life circumstances rather than as a helpless roulette ball on the wheel of life.
Irene: You quote Tamura "We may fool ourselves into believing that we are fundamentally different from the person we are judging, but, in truth, we can never recognize in another what we don't have in ourselves." That's a pretty scary thought. Explain this to our reading audience.
Jeff: According to the theory, each of us consciously and subconsciously "project" ourselves energetically out into the world, and other people then "mirror" these projections back to us. I don't feel it's frightening at all; it's just another piece of the puzzle of self-discovery. For example, if we judge someone for being intolerant, then at some level we ourselves are intolerant, and the message is that we need to acknowledge that "shadow" aspect so that can completely accept ourselves exactly as we are, even with our hidden/repressed aspects.
Since learning about this "mirroring" process years ago, I make it a regular practice to carefully consider what my judgments are saying about me, and the result has been very educational. As a case in point, last year I announced to one of my clients that I would be taking an extended vacation, and the response was not very supportive. I was of course displeased and began having negative feelings about it, wondering how this individual could feel that way given that I hadn't taken any time off in two years. In the midst of my "stewing" about the matter, this thought came to me, "all this person is showing you, is that part of you that doesn't feel you deserve the time off." I knew immediately this insight was completely accurate, and I promptly stopped running the negative thoughts about the client, and instead affirmed to myself that I did indeed deserve the break.
Irene: You talk about detaching in your book. Why is it so important to "detach from the outcome"?
Jeff: Detachment is key to manifesting desires, because it all comes down to the point of focus. Whenever we are attached to a particular result, meaning that we really, really want to have some item, or to have something occur, the focus is on what we don't have rather than on what we intend to have. In essence, we are subconsciously focused on the wanting, and not the having. We simply need to get to a point where we get in the feeling space of actually having what we desire, and let the universe take care of the details. This goes against the traditional "make it happen" approach that is so prevalent in business, but that approach takes so much energy, and once one realizes that there is indeed an unseen "force" that is there to assist us in our creative efforts, it's unnecessary to resort to that approach. This doesn't mean that one doesn't "do" anything, not at all; one follows their inspiration and still puts energy out into the world to manifest desires. However, the difference is that the actions are supported by an attitude of trust that "this, or something better will manifest." This is one other critical advantage of detachment, namely that being detached from a specific outcome opens the door for something even better to arrive or occur.
Irene: Your explanation gives meaning to "showing up." Would you tell us some experiences you've had when you were detached from the outcome but showed up.
Jeff: In 1994 I started a business that was originally intended to one offering marketing consulting services for high-tech firms. I began marketing the firm through various means, and made little progress for three months. At this point, I decided to step away from taking physical "action", and instead begin using affirmations and prayer as techniques to generate connections that would lead to work. In doing this, I made best efforts to put the energy out there and then detach from the outcome as best as I could. I kept myself busy with reading and household projects. Then, one day the phone rang and it was some woman from a high technology public relations firm who had heard about my high-tech background from a friend of a friend. She asked if I would drive up to meet her for lunch to discuss the concept of my writing draft press releases for the firm. The lunch meeting went well and I began work the next week. By the time 5 years had passed, I had written nearly 1,200 releases for that firm.
Approximately six months after I began writing for that firm, I received a letter in the mail from an ex-girlfriend who had just moved back to the area from the West Coast, within which she indicated that she felt I could very well be a great writing resource for her firm. I then phoned her and arranged to have lunch with her in April of 1995; six months later I began working as a freelance writer for her company. Today, more than 10 years later, I continue to work for that firm on a freelance basis as a senior technical writer. Clearly, I did nothing to make either of these situations happen; I simply put some energy out there and in time something good manifested all on its own.
Irene: What is a simple test to find out if one is spiritually inclined?
Jeff: I am not really certain there is a simple test in this regard. From my experience, at the root of an orientation towards spirituality is a deeply-held desire to truly come to an understanding of the purpose of life, and willingness to explore any and all avenues available to reach that understanding. The path of spiritual growth is not one that lends itself to the "quick fix," yet once it is embarked upon this path will yield rewards that are more than commensurate with the effort.
Irene: There is much buzz around find the purpose of life, and many different beliefs of what that means. What is your understanding of "purpose of life"?
Jeff: To me, the purpose of life is a fairly esoteric subject, and it can be interpreted in various ways. There's the purpose of life in general, and then there's the purpose of an individual's life. As for the former, I've personally come to believe that one reason each of us is here is to come to understand who we really are, namely (as stated earlier) "sparks" of the Divine that have the innate potential to be as compassionate and unconditionally loving as the very force that created us.. As for individual purpose, I feel that each person was created to bring some form of service to the world, and that purpose will ultimately reveal itself to each individual who is sincerely dedicated to learning about, and meeting that purpose. The purpose may not always be easily discovered or understood, and perhaps at times it may turn out that the purpose requires the individual to face significant life challenges. In addition, because each living soul has freewill choice a given purpose may not always be realized. When it is not, then one can only hope that the infinite intelligence of the Creator provided for backup plans. Seriously, though, this is a very complex subject.
Irene: Jeff, it has been a real pleasure talking with you. I know our reading audience would like to know more about you and your book. Do you have a website where people can learn more?
Jeff: Thank you and it really was wonderful to have this opportunity to dialog with you about the subject of spirituality.

Copyright Jim Rogers all rights reserved - provided as a special contribution to the FentonReport Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia. Situated on the Timor Sea, Darwin has a population of 120900, making it by far the largest and most populated city in the sparsely peopled Northern Territory, but the least populous of all Australia's capital cities. It is the smallest and most northerly of the Australian capital cities, and acts as the Top End's regional centre. Over time Darwin has grown from a pioneer outpost and small port into one of Australia's most modern and multicultural cities. Its proximity to Asia makes it an important Australian gateway to countries such as Indonesia and East Timor. The Stuart Highway begins in Darwin, ending at Port Augusta in South Australia. The city itself is built on a low bluff overlooking the harbour. Its suburbs spread out over some area, beginning at Lee Point in the north and stretching to Berrimah in the east past Berrimah, the Stuart Highway goes on to Darwin's satellite city, Palmerston, and its suburbs. The region, like the rest of the Top End, has a tropical climate, with a wet season and a dry season. It receives heavy rainfall during the Wet, and is well-known for its spectacular lightning.

Travelers from the United States are the most common tourists found in Mexico. This is a list of the hottest vacations destinations in this great country. The best time to travel to Mexico is between September and May, although anytime is a great time to go!
Cabo San Lucas
Cabo is an extremely popular destination, especially among people living on the west coast. Flights from California and nearby areas are affordable and fast. Once in Cabo you will experience a party like never before. The marina, which is the anchor of downtown, is always bustling with locals and tourists alike. Bars line the border of the marina and all types of nightclubs an lounges can be found one block over. The city offers a wide variety of excellent restaurants. You can find anything from Thai to Mexican food and casual to gourmet. One restaurant that you must visit is called "Mi Casa." You will experience the essence of the Mexican culture and spirit while eating authentic Mexican specialties.
Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is a more lush and semi-tropical destination. You will find a lot of all-inclusive resorts in Puerto Vallarta because the town is very spread out. Be sure to choose a hotel that you can imagine staying at the majority of your vacation because cab rides to downtown are quite pricey. There are clubs and disco-techs downtown but most all-inclusive resorts have their own selection of nightlife entertainment. One of the best hotels in Puerto Vallarta is the Riu. Guests can dine at seven different gourmet restaurants at any time of the day.
Cancun
Cancun is known as the spring break capital of the world. It boasts some of the nicest beaches in the country. Because of it Caribbean location, the sand is white with clear and warm water.

You can find both all-inclusive and traditional resorts in Cancun.
These are just a few of the most popular destinations in Mexico. Before planning a trip you need to research each city and determine which one will fit your needs and expectations the best. Look for family friendly resorts if traveling with a family. Some resorts are all about the "party" and are not suitable for children. Remember, the country is not as violent as the reputation it carries but tourists should still be cautious, especially in the towns. Don't carry valuables and stay in groups of people. Regardless, have fun and enjoy your Mexican vacation! It's sure to be one you won't soon forget!

When Dumpty Humpty fell off the wall the creditors started calling and sending threatening letters all about what they were going to do to you and your credit. With speed dialers and predictive dialing systems there is no escape from this onslaught of harassment. Only a positive and proactive plan can meet and beat this bombardment from the creditors. The pieces after the fall can be put together again and it won't take all the king's men, you can do it yourself. I'm assuming there is some cash flow and some continuing employment for what follows.
Like other challenges, whether it is medical, academic, work or whatever the case, a proper assessment of where you are at is the first step and by recognizing there is a problem is in the forefront and foremost to a solution. An inventory has to be taken of income, living expenses, luxury items, and monthly debt that must be met. If it is a married couple, both have to participate in this process from start to finish to have a chance at any success. A foreign term to many households is the word "budget". After the eye rolling and plowing through the denials of any existence of a problem a decision needs to be made to address the challenge of being upside down on consumer debt. The alternatives are not pleasant. This single issue of consumer debt has plunged many a marriage into the divorce courts further complicating an already challenging situation. If an individual or a couple can come to grips with saying yes to working out a plan that is a winning point in the first skirmish of this battle.
All the credit debt has to be laid out on say the kitchen table from: the home mortgage payment obligations, all credit cards with balances, utility bills, cable bills, cell phone bills, water and sewer bills, garbage bills, club memberships, spas, book clubs, day care requirements, lawn service, health insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, maintenance contracts, gasoline cards, auto repair bills, auto insurance, school supplies and expenses, internet service, magazine subscriptions, team sports and leagues, recreational activities, vacation plans, 401(k) and IRA status or other retirement accounts, religious donations and pledges, charitable contributions, your current with holding exemptions for income tax and any other type of expenditure that is made on a monthly or yearly basis. From this step you can start prioritizing each expenditure by establishing separate piles and stacks of bills from the most important to the least important.
In most cases the mortgage payment obligation will be in the highest priority pile then home utilities. Everything else would be secondary, otherwise, you may be moving soon. The credit cards would be stacked in a pile and by priority other stacks may be separated as well. All this information needs to be listed on a sheet with due dates with balances and required payments. The customer service numbers need to be listed along each item together with the account numbers. It is here that brutal honesty must prevail on what absolutely must be paid. If there are children involved and can be included in the discussion then all the cards must be laid on the table. They will figure it out by themselves soon enough. It will be an important life lesson for the future when they have the opportunity to start making their own way and have credit choices to make. The vision of the pile of bills stacked on kitchen table will be a strong example if credit privileges are abused. Likewise, when this situation is turned around the children can feel a real sense of accomplishment, as they were part of the process to a winning resolution.
There are many books at the local bookstore, which contain budget forms to guide you through this daunting process of putting the financial pieces back together for you and your family. When this information is quantified so that you can see the big picture then a strategy can be laid out to turn this predicament around. If necessary, depending on the severity of the shortfall, each credit card company can be contacted immediately and work out a repayment plan at a reduced monthly payment. Other items in the stack need to be dealt with similarly to get an accommodation for repayment. Cards need to be cut up and perhaps settling on using a debit card only. Ways to increase income including a part time job need to be considered right away.
If you have been getting an income tax refund every year, adjust your W-4 for exemptions immediately and get more cash flow now. Once you decide to dig out and turn this around, there are really only three options. (1) Make more money. (2) Reduce expenditures. (3) Do Both. This situation can be turned around in a few years. A budget with a planned savings program has to be primary then start paying off the mortgage early and save even more cash. You can win this game.
