Posted by cashflowcreation in Uncategorized on March 31st, 2009
My husband and i have been in texas for about 5 months now. I found a jod in a daycare and i know both english and spanish. Now he on the other hand does not know english but he does have much experience in many things such as construction, machinery ect many other things. The only little english he knows hes learned with my daughter who is 3 years old. Its hard being the only one working having to pay the bill but at least he helps me by watching her so that i dont have to pay for day care or depend on the state to pay for it. Does any body have any ideas on what he could do to get some cash flowing in?, more

Open Question: Working in the accounting field…in second year of college?
Posted by cashflowcreation in Uncategorized on March 31st, 2009
I’m 18, going on 19, and I was wondering this today:
What are my options considering employment? I’m currently in college for Accounting, and I really want to get some type of job in the field so that I can keep fresh on it and have working experience since this semester is almost over and it’s a longggg time until next semester. I feel it would help me more to actually be out in the field doing it on a daily basis as opposed to just reading the book every once in awhile.
So far, I have taken 2 Accounting courses. We have covered 14 chapters & when I’m done this semester it will be 17. What we have covered in these chapters is:
Chapter 1 - Accounting in Business
Chapter 2 - Analzying and Recording Transactions
Chapter 3 - Adjusting Accounts & Preparing Financial Statements
Chapter 4 - Completing the Accounting Cycle
Chapter 5 - Accounting for Merchandising Operations
Chapter 6 - Inventories & Cost of Sales
Chapter 7 - Accounting Information Systems
Chapter 8 - Cash & Internal Controls
Chapter 9 - Accounting for Receivables
Chapter 10 - Plant Assets, Natural Resources, and Intangibles
Chapter 11 - Current Liabilities and Payroll Accounting
Chapter 12 - Accounting for Partnerships
Chapter 13 - Accounting for Corporations
Chapter 14 - Long-Term Liabilities (mostly bonds)
Chapter 15 - Investments & International Operations
Chapter 16 - Reporting the Statement of Cash Flows
Chapter 17 - Analysis of Financial Statements
The website for the book is [url]www.mhhe.com/wildFAP18e[/url]
So, based on what I’ve learned so far, what do you think my chances are of getting SOMETHING in the field under a private accountant or something? Are there any chances? What could I do? I just really want to do the work so I have hands on experience instead of just classroom experience.
What are your suggestions?, more

Open Question: Primerica Financial Services - Has anyone actually succeeded?
Posted by cashflowcreation in Uncategorized on March 31st, 2009
I live in Maryland, and I have been with PFS for about a year and a half now. In this area, the company has an awful reputation of being a non-stop recruiting machine that churns through the unsuspecting while not writing enough business to support the average agent.
In our organization (as far up as I can see), only 2 people are really living the life. After that, VPs have an office overhead to pay for as well as their own health care benefits (which significantly reduces the value of their gross cash flow), and the agents gather together and jump around like crack addicts, pretending that everything is better than it really is.
I realize this question will get a lot of people together to say “InsurancePyramidCultScam”, and it will also get about as many to defend the opportunity. If anyone can describe a model where business is written and clients are served, and where incoming agents can expect to be paid for their efforts, please step up and identify the VP and baseshop who I can contact.
Also, I am about 2 seconds from taking my licenses to another more sensible provider (Edward Jones, MetLife, etc. etc. etc.). I am open to suggestions in that area too., more
