All you have to do is turn on the news or open a newspaper and you hear about government bailouts, let alone this being an election year and there is always some uncertainty there as well.
So, how do you survive in this uncertain economy? Give It Away.
Call me crazy but I believe that the fastest way to come into money is to give money away as well as your knowledge, experience, wisdom, time, talent, attention, encouragement and compliments.
I'm not the only one who believes this as well.
Sir John Marks Templeton who founded the Templeton Fund said the following:

Tithing always gives the greatest return on your investment.

Tithing is a money multiplier.
For example, if you pick an apple off an apple tree, what happens? The next year there are two apples for the one apple that was picked.
Money is the same way.
Others who believe in this same philosophy are Bill Gates, Oprah, John D.
Rockefeller and many, many more.
Pay yourself a minimum of 10%.
You have to pay yourself.
This is also called saving.
Take that 10% and invest it in yourself.
Isn't that what you are doing? Diversify your investments.
I'm not going to tell you where you should invest your money.
I am going to tell you that if you put your money all in one basket, you could very well be sorry in the long run.

Multiple Streams of Income.
Make sure that you have more than one source of income.
That might be a second job in addition to your main one.
How about royalties, interest on accounts, dividends on stocks, real estate.
You get the picture.
Why would you want multiple streams of income? I want you to stop and think about how secure you are if you have only one stream of income.
You never know when that stream just might dry up.
I'm sure the folks at Lehman Brothers, Enron, AIG, and many more never thought their company would go belly up or be caught in a financial crisis.
