Wow has it been a long time since I have been working on my blog!
My life has really been spinning for the past two months, filled with tons of work, travel to foreign contries and the biggest and most hard hitting event, the passing of my Father. I might write a little bit about that event when I feel a bit more up to it but at the moment I want to talk about something which is closer to everyone and that is finances, credit cards to be exact. I was looking at a website which consolidates credit card deals from a myriad of credit card providers. It seems that in America there are a number of different types of offers which credit card providers can offer to their potential customers, I thought was quite interesting. If anyone knows how the banking system works in South Africa, you know how we are ripped off, especially when it comes to credit cards and petrol cards. As an example, if you take a look at the gasoline credit card offers section on the website you will notice that there are some cards with rebates and other types of offers when you use the card to purchase fuel, well in South Africa, it is illegal to offer any sort of reward or discount on petrol, the price of which is strictly controlled by the government. Our government figures that if we get a rebate on petrol then that is almost like getting the tax back that we paid on the fuel, and that is a no-no.
When it comes to credit cards, they are not my most favourite thing in the world. Don’t get me wrong, they have their place, but too many people have adopted bad habits when it comes to credit cards. A common problem with credit cards is a practice known as revolving credit or rolling credit. This involves having multiple credit cards and paying them off using each other. In theory this results getting a certain amount of money which you never have to pay back. In reality though it involves the banks making huge sums of money from you while making you think like you are getting free money.
The place for credit cards in our lives is not to be over looked though. Using credit wisely can allow you to juggle your positive bank balance around for a few days until you have to pay off the credit card balance. Obviously this will only work if you get some interest free credit from your credit or you will end up paying for the privilege of borrowing a small sum for a few days.
Credit cards are also useful in emergencies, such as for example an urgent car repair or helping you with payments on an unexpected medical expense.
Needless to say, although I mentioned not being a big fan of credit cards, I feel that every one should have at least one card which, managed correctly will help rather than hinder your financial situation.

I went to see the Lion King at Teatro in Montecasino. Man is it awesome, I really enjoyed it. The music was awesome, although sometimes the words to the songs were a bit fuzzy and you couldn’t hear what they were singing. The costumes, wow the costumes were awesome. I was really amazed by the Mufasa and Scar costumes. The way the animal puppets are brought to life by the cast is really amazing, you can actually imagine them jumping through the grass.
The use of shadows was very well done, I was blown away by how the shadows built the story for us.
Well its pretty late so I am just gonna say :-
GO SEE IT!!

Today I would like to review an eBook which is pretty good. If you are interested in seeing how someone can go from losing everything to haveing a profitable internet business up and running in one month, then this book is for you.
Synopsis In the book, which is called The One Month Magnate, the author, Tony Shepherd, takes you step by step through building a profitable income from the internet. He does not try and con you into thinking you will be rich within a week, he simply states facts and helps you to see where you could also create a profitable web business.
About the Author Tony Shepherd is one of the UK’s most private Internet Marketers.
Co-owner of Laycock Publishing with marketing guru Sara Brown, Tony has written several books and made his living from the Internet for a number of years.
Tony usually writes under different names and keeps his private life away from work, making sure the latter is kept to a minimum!
About the eBook The eBook is written under the premise that if the author lost everything except 30 days before he had to pay any debt like a house mortgage, he would be able to have a profitable business in 30 days, and already earned a bit of profit.
I thought the book was written very well and owners of the book will learn some very profitable ways of building an online business. This is all done in a usefull step by step format starting with day one and ending with day 30.
If you are at all interested in earning some extra cash on the side, I recommend this book. Follow the instructions and you will be wishing you had seen it ages ago.
Well it happened, I got into a situation where I don’t have anything to write about. Then I remembered thaat I had marked a couple of posts for comment in Google Reader.
So today I am going to talk about one of the sites I frequently read called The Bespeckled SEO
One of the latest posts actually requested a review and the owner would give $2. However I decided to do a quick review without requesting the $2 (although I would certainly not say no to it if you still have any spots open David )
Basically the posts coming through the above blog talk about various topics but spend alot of time talking Search Engine optimisation. I recommend reading a few posts and see if you like it. The site shows some really interesting topics and I really think it’s great.
I recommend signing up at Google Reader so that you can subscribe to any blogs you like and get notified immedialtly when new posts are available.
