Is a Secure Job Still a Reality?
October 30, 2009 by Hanna08
I think that is a question we all need to ask ourselves because there is no guarantee who will have a job tomorrow. Its kind of crazy we have to give that a thought, but today we do because the reality is, job security just isn’t there anymore.
I mean who would have thought The Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and AIG, would ever file for bankruptcy?
The question just has to be asked?
- How does a 158 year company go into bankruptcy?
- How does the leading wealth management, capital market and advisory company get bought buy another bank?
- How does the No 1 insurance company in the world get in-tangled up in the fall out?
While this situation is truly sad, I personally believe the couple of companies I have mentioned above will end up being just the tip of the iceberg. There is still much more to come in this story.
Here are a couple more questions I think you should be asking yourself:-
- How secure is your job or business today?
- How well prepared are you for taking retirement? [your "big holiday"]
- Or early retirement in the case of downsizing, suffering a sickness or accident?
Did you know that statistically:-
- a 25 year old starting work today will have 9 career changes and be made redundant 16 times. Ouch!
- 1 in 3 [1 in 2 by 2015] will suffer from cancer Whew!
- there is a 100% chance we will die. Wow!
If “Murphy” has any thing to do with it they will likely show up at the worst possible time to create the most havoc in your life just so you really get it.
How Secure is YOUR Financial Future and how can you prepare?
The first step is to start taking responsibility for creating your own financial security.
Realise that having a solid education is a “corner stone” that education doesn’t stop when we leave school, college or university. It has just started.
Understand that if you do find yourself living from pay check to pay check the “alarm bells” are already sounding for you that your chance of becoming financially independant are remote.
Your way out is to create a “Plan B” and start doing it sooner rather than later just in case you walk into work one morning and it isn’t there anymore. I encourage you to find your niche and educate yourself now because the reality of a secure J.O.B. doesn’t exist now.
You may believe that you aren’t capable of creating your own “Plan B”. Or maybe you are already looking to change your current situation but don’t know where to start.
If that sounds like you you’re in luck because there is a short cut to creating financial security…… You just have to find the right mentor/coach. By following in the steps of a successful person who has already travelled the road you want to travel you increase your chance of success hugely.
Perhaps I can be that person for you.
If you’re an individual that has a clear vision, you are willing to work and you are willing to follow instructions to start creating you “Plan B” , then visit me at a super alternative.
There’s no such thing as a fair tax. In order to make the system more fair for a particular group of individuals, someone else inevitably has to get screwed. A good tax system will always charge more to the people who can afford to pay and less to the people who can’t. That’s the fairest you can get. There’s no such thing as a fair tax and people need to get over this idea.
The answer is they are a household name and have great marketing. It is interesting to me that so many people don't do their homework when it comes to financial things, you are absolutely correct they have a horrible track record.

рекомендую поступить как было сделано в одном фильме, когда для усиления драматизма концовки просто повесили спасательный круг с надписью "Титаник". усильте композицию за счет попадания в кадр хорошо узнаваемых для банкиров брендов (Merrill Lynch. Goldman Sachs, PWC and others).

Calipari is shadier than even Bob Huggins…also, I'm curious to know how high the name 'Adolf' is ranked in baby books. As far as commercials go, I fear that no one else loathes those brutal E-Trade commercials as much as I do. I don't get it? Maybe it means that some people were just born as douchebags and never had to turn into one. While we're on wealth management, nothing says success like soliciting your wealth mgmt practices on tv following a Cash-4-Gold spot.
April,
Thanks for the comment. Love the Italian translation. I agree with you on the tendencyto be impatient these days. That's not how POM rolls, I'm sure! April founded a company with another former banker that helps individuals with wealth management, paperwork, processes and projects related to their personal finances. You should check it out!
