Hello all,
As my family and I went out to go see a movie the other night, I was rather irked by the price. Now granted that my kids or at least one of them is free, the price just for tickets was $27.00 (keep in mind that was the price of 2 adults and just 1 child). I realize that this price is normal now-a-days, but if you think about it 7 years ago when my husband and I started dating the price of a ticket at night for an adult was like $6.00 now it has climbed to $10.00 a piece and kids are up to $6.00 or more. That just tells you how much inflation has affected our society, and no, we don't have to go to the movies but there is one thing in modern society that most of us need and are having trouble affording...yep you guessed it GAS!! $3.00 A GALLON OR MORE!!! I'm sure most of you out there are cussing at the costs of gasoline just like me and are leaning on credit cards just to be able to afford it.
This amongst a few other ideas is why I decided that a career in note investment was a good idea, and not just for me. By this I mean, for those of you out there who own a note and are receiving those monthly payments, that $300.00 to whatever the payment may be a month may have not been what you wanted when you had to go so far as to create the note in the first place. I'm sure when you sold your house, car, Mobile home, or whatever it may be, you were looking forward to that lump sum of money you would be receiving at the end of the sale. You probably thought you would be able to invest that money into a new home or a vacation, whatever your wants and needs were at the time. And whatever the circumstances were that forced you to create that note I'm sure were for a good reason, and I am also sure that you made the best of it. But it truly is amazing how that monthly payment at first was like a bonus, and soon got lost in this frenzy of a thing we call our economy, with inflation it just disappears like every other paycheck and soon is no longer a bonus because you need more. Every one now and again has a need outside of their usual paycheck for more money, whether it be for fun (a visit to Maui) or medical (an emergency or your 12 year old's braces) or even if you wanted to invest that money somewhere else and double your income. Either way that is where I come in, if you own a note and have a need or just want that lump sum of money, you can sell that monthly payment for a lump sum of cash (whole amount or even just partial). Just an observation from an average American. If you do happen to have an interest in looking into selling your note or are just curious here is our website cash 4 cash flows .
As matter of fact I was looking around and found another blogger who has post regarding the recent decrease in sales for middle class Americans because of inflation, check it out at 5 Blogs Before Lunch it's called: "Is One of the "Two Americas" Slowing Thier Spending Behavior Patterns?"
For now,
