Debt Consolidation: Crisis Planning is the Answer
So many Americans take their finances very easily resulting in a blackout if a crisis occurs. Though you might have planned ahead, many times financial crisis may get you unprepared. Here are a few suggestions if you do not know what to do if you face financial difficulties.
We all love spending money, but many do not like to pay it back. This may lead to a situation of debt. For what most people handling that situation comes easy, something like paying the electricity and mortgage bill every month. But it may happen that though a situation has been going well, but a sudden financial crisis can turn the situation into an uncomfortable one without any planning for the future.
The key to prevent such crisis is to plan for the future. It is accepted that it is never so simple but a well cut financial strategy can help at the moment when things come to any problem. In a perfect scenario, you must separate expenses for the next two or three months in cash.
Obviously it is not feasible all the time to stash away sex months’ expenditure in cash. A better option will be to plan to take out a home equity line of credit. A line of credit is a loan against the portion of your house that is already in your ownership. If your house is worth $150,000 and you owe $100,000, your equity will come to $50,000. You can take a loan against that amount, a line of credit of $30,000, for example, will not be exceptional. A line of credit typically represents money that is ready for you whenever there is a requirement, unlike a home equity loan where you will receive the cash as a lump sum and give it back on a strict dating of payment. You can take out a small bit at a time, or the whole of it, or none of it, as per your needs. Then you just return the amount you loaned. It is a great shelter during emergencies, but it is difficult to get one when you already are in an emergency. It should be got when your finances are very much in order, and hence ahead of any disaster.
If there is no planning ahead and all of a sudden you find yourself with financial crisis like an unforeseen sickness or loss of job, give a call to your creditors as soon as you can. Do not wait for your most vulnerable financial situation to strike you, cal them then and there and let them know of he problems you are having. Chances are that they will cooperate to work out a solution with you.

Understanding Debt Settlement
If you are in serious debt crisis right now and you are at a lost of what to do, have you considered hiring a third party to settle your debts for you? A debt settlement company is recommended for those who wish to have their original debts possibly lowered to as much as 30 to 60 percent markdown. Moreover, if pressuring tactics from your creditor has taken a toll on your well being, then negotiations may be better off in the hands of someone else other than that of yours.
If this is the first time that you have entertained the thought of allowing a third party to settle your debt, pay attention to facts about debt settlement, which will be discussed below.
Factors included in debt settlements include the following:
1. Principal debt amount: This refers to the original amount that you owe your creditor. This amount can be negotiated by your debt settlement company, and you may end up with a significantly lowered amount to pay for.
2. Late fee charges: These are fees associated with overdue payments. Your agent may be able to waive this off for you and save you a huge amount.
3. Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the actual cost of borrowing money from your creditor. This involves the interest rate for the money you borrowed along with other charges that come with it. Your agent may be able to negotiate for a lowered APR with your creditor.
4. Monthly settlements refers to monthly payments that you make through your debt settlement company, which will eventually forward the money to your creditor in due time.
5. Annual timeframe: This involves the deadlines for which payments are expected to be received. Even this can be negotiated by your agent where extensions may be made to allow you to pay off the debt at a longer period of time.
The choice of hiring a debt settlement company to do the dirty work for you also has its disadvantages. For one, it will reflect badly on your credit history and will remain there for a period of seven to 10 years. On the other hand, this may still be the better option compared to bankruptcy. Also, hiring a third party has its costs. At an average, it will charge up to 8 to 15 percent of your total debt as fee for their services. And despite the presence of a third party, some creditors still continue to harass the debtor.
Ultimately, weighing the pros and the cons will help you come up with a decision on how you plan to do your debt settlement. Regardless of your decision, the objective of paying back the money that you owe must always be kept in mind.

Are the global financial markets going to collapse ?
Global GDP is estimated to be about $60 trillion while the global derivative markets is estimated to be above $1000trillion.
1. do these derivatives have any intrinsic value ?
2. once a major bank or hedge fund collapses with say even $5trillion exposure what is the likely knock on effect to the rest to the rest of the derivative market ?
3. how can the global markets continue if these derivatives have no monetary value ?
4. what will be the likely effects on the currency markets if derivatives are shown to have no value ?
When asking Western school children about the significance of Waterloo, the answer will be something along the lines of ‘the decisive battle between Napoleon and an English lead European coalition’. In fact, the future of the European continent was perceived to depend upon the battle of Waterloo. If Napoleon won, France would have been confirmed as the undisputed master of Europe. If Napoleon was beaten, England would have become the leading power in Europe and greatly expand its sphere of influence.
What Western school children are not taught – for obvious reasons – is the much bigger story behind the official narrative, the story of one of the biggest frauds in human history. Nathan Rothschild, the head of the English branch of the Rothschild crime family, took advantage of his advance knowledge of the outcome of the battle by tricking the London Stock Exchange into believing that Napoleon had won. The resulting crash of the Exchange enabled Nathan Rothschild’s agents to buy the entire London stock market for a Penny in the Pound and seize control of the Bank of England.
This shameless fraud was ruthlessly repeated in 1929. The private owners of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Rothschild subsidiaries J.P. Morgan, City Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank were awash with money earned by financing World War I. Using their market power, Rothschild’s agents first engineered an artificial boom in the stock market, tricking smaller banks and private investors into putting huge amounts of money into the stock market and then deliberately crashed it, enabling the Rothschild agents to buy most of the U.S. stock market. The ripple effect of the New York crash also enabled Rothschild agents in other countries, such as Germany, to buy local corporations at a fraction of their actual value.
Eighty years later, it looks like our ruling psychopaths are at it again. They are systematically destroying trust in the U.S. dollar, causing holders of large amounts of green bags to sell them. At the same time, the Rothschild’s are preventing the European Central Bank from printing sufficient Euros for U.S. Dollar owners to exchange all of their holdings into Euros. That way Dollar owners are forced to buy gold instead, causing the gold price to explode.
Simultaneously, the Rothschild’s are using their influence on the media sector to spread rumours of an imminent crash of the U.S. Dollar and international stock markets. As per usual, in the day and age of infowar, those rumours first started in the alternative Internet based media, only to spread into the mainstream business media. Last week’s ‘global stock and credit market warning’ of the Rothschild owned Royal Bank of Scotland means that the next Waterloo must be imminent.
All it takes is a trigger such as a thwarted Israeli attack on Iran or the blocking of the Persian Gulf for oil transports, followed by a major stock sell-off by Rothschild agents. Once the world’s stock and credit markets have completely crashed, the price of an ounce of gold will be in the thousands, enabling the Rothschild’s and other owners of large gold holdings to buy the market for a fraction of their true value.
Most of the population are not aware of the Federal Reserve Scams. Do you know who owns the Federal Reserve Bank? Private business men who include the Morgan’s, Rothschild’s and the Rockefeller family. What they do is print money out of thin air, as much as they like and it’s not regulated!!!
They lend money to the government in large interest rates so that the Government is in debt to them. So they control the world economy.
How does the Government pay of their debt to the Federal Bank, they don’t WE do, in the form of Income Tax from our wages. In 1913 (as well as funding Hitler, Bushes grandfather was included in the funding) these private business men convinced congress that the public should pay Income tax and Congress did what they were told.
There is NO law written down anywhere that states that we have to pay Income tax…it’s a fraud. Not one cent or penny of peoples Income Tax payments goes to the government. It ALL goes directly into the private bankers pockets of the Federal Bank and the bank of England, Don’t believe me get the DVD documentary by Aaron Russo called Freedom to Fascism’.
They decide what you read and watch. If you get your information and knowledge from the T.V. and papers then you will be brainwashed. Rupert Murdoch owns 160 newspapers, many tv channels including sky and all news programmes, (they are not called PROGRAMMES for nothing) he also own a Hollywood studio. George Orwell used to work for the BBC, where do you think he got his ideas for 1984? Don’t buy newspapers and switch the tv off! Research your own information on the web.
