Movie Fun Savings for Families

A night at the movies can be a great get-together for the entire family whether at the theater or at home. Hollywood is getting more family conscious and producing more movies for general audiences so the selection is better than in times past.

If you’re not sure about a certain movie’s content, go online and do your research. You can’t always go by the rating but that’s a good place to start. You might wonder sometimes how a movie got a PG rating.

Movies, like most everything else in life, are not as affordable as they used to be. Depending on what city you live in you can expect to spend $7 to $10 or more for an adult ticket and about $2 less for children under 12. Discounts are available for students who provide a valid school ID.

What time you go to a movie makes a difference. Most theaters offer a matinee discount of several dollars if you catch the afternoon showings. These usually are the movies shown before 5 PM.

Some theaters also have super value days when you get matinee prices all day. This is typically on a slow day such as Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Unfortunately, there still is no discount at the concession counter no matter what time you go.

Find a dollar movie theater or at least one that offers very cheap tickets. They show the same features although a few weeks later than first run theaters. It’s worth a wait if you want to save money.

You’ll probably also save money on popcorn, candy and drinks but perhaps have to forego some comforts like stadium seating. Most discount movies are shown in the older theaters and may not be as plush as the modern ones.

Drive-In theaters are still found in some cities and are as a rule bargains and fun. Some offer first run movies at a discount or even allow the entire carload to get in for one price. Drive-In movies are ideal for families because you can bring in food and drinks. Bring your lawn chairs too and sit outside if you want.

Dive-In movies are gaining popularity in pools and parks. Many swimming pools and parks offer free movies and popcorn. Families can lounge poolside if they don’t want to get wet or watch the movie from the cool water.

Have a movie night at home for the family. But, do more than just rent a DVD by involving the entire family and creating a more theater like atmosphere. Pop some popcorn for the aroma and darken the room. With a DVD, you’re in control and can schedule an intermission for bathroom breaks and snacks of pickles, candy and ice cream in addition to the popcorn.

To save money on movie DVDs join a movie club and get your movies by mail. Finish one and they’ll mail you another one. Families can enjoy selecting the movies together. Movies are a great way to escape and provide the family an affordable night together.

TOP 10 PURCHASES THAT SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED ON CREDIT CARDS

1. Traffic tickets: You look reckless. And tickets can push up your insurance rates, which could put a strain on your finances, which could make it harder for you to pay your bills. A lot of people who have charged traffic tickets have defaulted on their cards.

2. Retreading your tires: You’d be surprised how many people do this. Why? Usually, because they can’t afford new tires. If you’ve bought new tires in the past, this can look like a desperate move. Credit card companies don’t like desperation.

3. Bargain binges: If you haven’t used your credit card at a 99-cent store or at Wal-Mart, don’t start now! Downshifting to lower-cost retailers — or shopping at places that attract financially pinched shoppers — makes it look like you’re worried about your finances or about your job. American Express has been accused of cutting people’s credit because they shopped at Wal-Mart.

4. Adult Playthings: No one’s judging you — just your purchases. Porn is seen as escapism by card companies. And guess what they’re thinking you’re trying to escape from? Financial worries. Ditto for strip clubs. Use cash. Swipe your card, get your credit cut.

5. Marriage Counseling and Therapy: Money is at the root of many psychological problems. And plenty of relationship problems, too. Relationship problems can lead to divorce. Divorce can destroy your finances. Needing therapy may also make it look like you’re unstable.

6. Lottery Tickets: Yes, hope springs eternal, but lottery tickets don’t count as a sound financial plan, and you don’t want your card company to think you’re irresponsible — or a gambler. Oh yeah, don’t take your Visa to Vegas.

7. Cash Advances: Credit-card companies used to love these products because they brought in loads in interest charges. But tapping your card for cash? Or using a credit-card check to pay other bills? Not a good look.

8. Personal pampering: If you don’t normally splurge at the spa, don’t put your facial or massage on your plastic. It may look like you’re trying to relax because you’re worried about — what else — money. Or, that you’re trying to reduce stress from a job loss, or pretty up for a job search.

9. Income Taxes: Whenever you rack up one bill (by using your credit card) to pay another bill (your taxes) it raises a red flag. Could be your debts and bills are overwhelming you.

10. Booze: Carry cash to the bar, especially if you were there last night, too. Springing for too many drinks may be a sign of job stress, financial stress, or relationship stress. And charging booze several times in a row will make it seem like your bar binge was not a fluke.

Build Your Million Dollar Dream Team Before Success Comes Knocking

Success is just a mindset; you hear this old saying all of the time or what about “Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. Did you ever stop and think about these words and phrases as you go about your everyday life? Have you ever paused and truly thought about the message that is being conveyed?

If I had a nickel for every anecdotal quote that I have heard directed toward success and failure I would be a rich man by now. What I would like you to consider is how to achieve success and the advantages of being successful. Carve a new path, where the imagery of success ends begin a strategy to make success a reality. The rich do it all of the time and I am here to tell you how you can apply the very same principles to your lifestyle.

The wealthy have great systems in place to manage their money beforehand. Most individuals wait until after they have achieved success before they find top flight Realtors, Accountants, Attorneys, or CPA firms. This is backwards thinking. You may not have acquired your first million yet but think like a winner and a success person. Success is a mentality that shapes the future. Elaine Maxwell states “Whether you fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but your own. You are the force; you can clear any obstacle before you or be lost in the maze. It is your choice; your responsibility; win or loose; only you hold the key to your destiny”.
It has been documented that most lottery winners end up just as penniless as they began. Sad but true. Most failed to find investment vehicles that would accurately manage their wealth. They had no strategy in place to alter their incentives, motives, or life changes. Do you have a trusted advisor or financial planner that can and will provide analysis and guidance in making investment decisions or recommendations? Has this planner ever worked with someone who acquired wealth quickly? Who are his clients now and what were his recommendations?
So I suggest that if you are looking to purchase that high end home, go out and find the Top Realtor in the area. Put him or her on speed dial. Find a great attorney who has built his reputation on assisting clients of wealth. As we all know all attorneys are not created equal? Most importantly, locate a first-rate accountant. He or she can be self employed or employed with an outstanding firm. This is imperative. There are mechanisms in place whereby the rich will pay single digits in taxes if the accountant knows his stuff. So do your research. There is another old saying that I find to be true and it is “Poor preparation leads to poor performance”.
Now I’ve said all of this to say, if you prepare ahead of time and hold on to the thought that “Success is a mindset” and this is the mindset that you want to maintain you will be ahead of the game. Have the stick-to-it-ness to stay focused on the prize by building your Million Dollar Dream Team before success comes knocking. Eliminate that microwave mentality, live in the Life of Expectancy. Remember what John F Kenney said, “Things do not happen. Things are made to happen”.

Man rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

Finally , the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear " the Rules "
From the female side.

Now here are the rules from the male side.


These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
ON PURPOSE!





1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports, It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.


Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes or No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem

only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.


1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
And if you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but i t is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question that you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer that you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, hockey
or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can -
to give them a laugh.

Pass this to as many women as you can -

to give them a bigger laugh.

New law delays Michigan home foreclosures by 90 days

LANSING (AP) — A new law gives Michigan homeowners facing foreclosure a 90-day window to stay in their house and potentially work out a resolution with their lender.

The law went into effect July 5.

The legislation lets homeowners delay foreclosure proceedings for 90 days after getting a notice of foreclosure if they meet with a housing counselor and the bank. Lenders refusing to rework loans for those qualified homeowners would have to go to court to finish the foreclosure.
Only homeowners meeting certain financial standards could qualify for modified mortgage payments.

Counselors are available at no cost through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
