What yould you do if you had some extra money and you wanted to put them at work? Here are a few possibilities:
Forex trade: buy and sell currency, and you can get a nice profit. I don’t know how to do it, but I’d like to learn some day.
Economy deposits: not the most profitable way of using your money, but considering the lower risk involved, this could be a solution for the mosyt fearsome of you.
Stock market shares trading: I do have a friend who is passionate about the stock market. she doesn’t win all the time, but overall, her investments were wisely placed, so she can say that she was successful. It is true that she has a very good broker.
Buy land: this may not work in all countries, but if you take the Eastern Europe for example, buying land five years ago was an excellent investment, because prices exploded over the past 2-3 years, making such investments highly profitable.
Buy jewelry: besides a good investment, you’ll make yourself a pleasure, because you can wear them without losing any value (if you don’t break them or lose the, of course)
What do you do with your extra money? Do you invest?

This article is not about saving money, but it is rather about making your fiancee happy. It is true that girls like new things, but in this particular case, of antique jewelry, I don’t know what girl wouldn’t be impressed with such a gift.
But do you know where to find such antique pieces of jewelry, besides your grandmother’s lockers? For example, at LangAntiques you can find an impressive collection of antique and estate diamond rings, as well as a wide variety of broches, pins, bracelets, necklaces or watches. They are not for the poor, but if you have that kind of money to spend on jewelry, then you landed in the right place (I’ve seen this Art Deco engagement ring which made my breath stop for a second).
Another service offered my LangAntiques is buying your old jewelery. They determine the value, according to a well-established procedure, and they help you sell your jewelery pieces without taking any hidden commissions for their consignment service.
I’m not rich, but I surely enjoyed the visit to their website, as it displays good photos of all those rings and gems, making me dream with my eyes open. But who knows what future brings us? Maybe one day I’ll see one on my finger.

There are a lot of people who believe in the Law of Attraction. Briefly, this law is about making things happen, solely by your strong intention. If you intend to be rich, this law claims it is perfectly possible. All you have to do is focus your mind on the future you, surrounded by all the things you want to have, depict yourself in a happy future, and the good things will route your way as by a kind of magic.
While I cannot tell if this works or not, I cannot stop myself from thinking that everything in my life went so smoothly, and that all my wishes became reality, and maybe that’s because of my optimistic nature.
I tried to figure out some steps to follow, if anybody wishes to give it a try:
- Every morning, lay in bed for a few minutes after you awaken, keep your eyes closed and imagine yourself in a happy situation that you desire to happen
- Behave like you’ve already got where you want to be. If you want to be rich, don’t behave like poor, although you are far from being rich. Think of yourself as being in a temporary cash flow lack situation, and be sure you’ll get out of it very soon
- Exercise mentally several times a day: whenever you have a few spare minutes, say to yourself encouraging words, such as “I’m smart”, or “I’m rich”, or “people like me” or whatever else you wish for yourself.
I think that everything we want to do and to be is in our power. We just have to find the button to unleash this power, and the world can be ours.
Is it so? What do you think?

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
Donald Trump (1946 - ), “Trump: Art of the Deal”
Reading biographies of famous rich people, you’ll notice that in most cases, money was not the driving factor for their ascension. Most of them were driven by passion, by the need for adventure, for exploration, or for knowledge.
Take Donald Trump for example: he has built an empire, not for the financial reward (which came, anyway), but for the excitement that is playing the game. His vision of money as a way to keep the score of the game is very interesting, and if we think that at least once he was almost broke, we realize that sometimes he has just ignored the score and kept on playing.
What about you: are you in for the money? Do you do your job only for the paycheck? Do you suffer every single work day, from 9 to 5, only to be able to support yourself and your family?
It shouldn’t be like that: if only you could define your dreams and make them come true, then you’ll be mixing the family support with the pleasure of doing what you really enjoy. If you like your trade, every new day is a reason of joy, a reason for new discoveries, new learnings, or maybe new disciples that you’d lead on the same path as you followed.
If it is not like that, maybe you should start to consider a change. What do you think?
