Using your cellphone just to talk to people? Well, you're in the minority. According to a Nielsen report, text messaging has become the primary function of cellphones. The average mobile user receives 350 texts per month, versus 200 voice calls.
The report cites teenagers as the main drivers of this trend. The typical teen receives an average of 1,700 texts a month! But businesspeople are also avid texters. They've taken advantage of the widespread availability of the QWERTY keyboard (similar to your computer's keyboard) on cellphones, which makes texting quick and easy.

Bailout
With all of the turmoil in the financial industry, one word that keeps making the rounds is "bailout." So here's what you need to know.
A bailout is when the government extends a loan (or takes over) a private company because it is deemed "too large to fail." Bailouts are nothing new, although they never happened in the U.S. to the extent that we've been seeing recently.
One of the most famous bailouts was that of Chrysler Corporation back in 1979. They were on the verge of bankruptcy. But instead of letting a huge job provider fail, the government extended a $1.5 billion loan. (They also bought a bunch of Chrysler's Jeeps for military use.) This helped Chrysler get back on its feet.
AIG, the country's largest insurer, recently received an estimated $85 billion bailout. And the bailout engineered for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could cost over $200 billion.
If you own stock in a company being bailed out by the government, your shares will be worth next to nothing. Selling is usually your best option. But hold your bonds. Bondholders make out like bandits, since the bailout usually ensures that their interest payments are made on time.

California Most Expensive RE Market
The Coldwell Banker Home Price Comparison Index found the nation's most affordable real estate market to be Sioux City, Iowa, while the San Diego neighborhood of La Jolla, Calif., is the most expensive.
The index looks at the cost of similar 2,200 square foot, four bedroom, two-and-one-half bathroom homes in 315 U.S. markets. However, due to a lack of comparable properties, the borough of Manhattan in New York City is not included in the study.
In fact of the 10 most expensive markets, eight are in California; the two that weren't are Greenwich, Conn., ranked second, and Boston, ranked ninth.
All told, 13 markets had an average sales price above $1 million, with Wellesley, Mass., being the third one outside of California.
Not all of California is high-end. Bakersfield is the most affordable city, with an average sales price of $273,457.
Attend the live webcast about the Home Seller Assist program created by John Alexander each Tues and Wed evening at 7pm - Central at http://www.fastbuyerloans.com and see how you can profit from all of this.

The Ideal Vehicle For Getting Wealthy In The 21st Century?

Today you have a rare and exciting opportunity to take advantage
of one of the largest industries on earth. And it is - most experts
agree - the one that has the greatest growth potential.
I am referring to the home seller assist industry.
Now don't be intimidated by that phrase. You won't need an education
in real estate or financing.
And, with the implosion of the big banks, it is catching on like
wild fire.
Because of that low cost-of-entry and growth potential, it is the ideal
vehicle for getting wealthy in the 21st century. Taking advantage of these
forces is the best and easiest way to achieve fast success and acquire great wealth.
We normally have a live webcast on Tues and Wed evenings at www.fastbuyerloans.com,
but with the hurricane that hit the Houston area, the webcasts may not be
presented this week. But don't despair, the last one was recorded and is
online for you to view now at www.buyerloans.com
View it now and then feel free to call me at 847-872-4047, if you have
any questions. As one of the top three leaders, I am here to help you and
provide you with all the things I have done to bring me over $21,000 since
mid-June.
Hope you will make the decision to get off of the fence and take part in
this business. And the good thing about it is you don't have to talk to people
if you don't want to. You just merely send them to a site like www.fastbuyerloans.com
and that is it. Then you just sit back and get paid when people like you join!
If you join now, I will see you at the live training under the username "wallmann".
See you there.

Being a Business Builder

For me, hard work boils down to one of two things:
Doing something that bores me.
Doing something I don't care about.
One of the best things about owning your own business is that you can make it into anything you want. That means you're doing something that interests you at every stage of its development. And since you have control over your company's future direction, you can't help but care about it.
How do you keep your work interesting?
The answer, for me, is simple: What is new and challenging is always interesting. It's the old, routine work that is dull and boring.
I don't think I'm unusual in that respect. I think almost everybody feels the same way. Yes, routines are comfortable and relaxing. But it's the new and challenging work that makes life exciting and fun.
By changing your role as your business grows - from primarily employee to primarily manager, and then to primarily business builder and wealth builder - you fill your business life with interesting challenges. At every stage of your company's growth, you have to overcome new obstacles. To do so, you have to learn new skills... and work hard.
You may feel, as I did years ago, that you don't want to work harder; you want to work easier. That's good. Because that's exactly what's going to happen.
In fact, looking back at my career, I see a pattern of starting work and then trying to make it easy. I get an idea. It seems very exciting. I work with someone to help me launch the business. And from then on, I'm trying to get other people to take over my work so I can do something new... and, therefore, more interesting.
With this in mind, We Provide The Cash, suggest you visit the Home Seller Assist site created by John Alexander and explore this opportunity that exists today.
This niche is only getting hotter as FHA tightens up guidelines and you have the chance to make $500 - $3000 for each loan applicant you send to our site!
