Understanding Your Credit with SpringCoinCarrie Smith
A complete presentation from SpringCoin on Understanding and Improving Your Credit Score. How to establish or re-establish credit properly to save money and pay down debt.
Credit involves borrowing and lending money, with interest charged for the cost of borrowing. A credit score is calculated based on factors like payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, and number of accounts, and shows how risky a borrower is. Maintaining good credit involves paying bills on time, keeping balances low relative to credit limits, and allowing an established credit history. Managing needs versus wants carefully and avoiding overspending can help keep debts under control and credit in good standing.

This document summarizes various sources of credit in the Philippines, including individual money lenders, retail stores like sari-sari stores, pawnshops, commercial banks, commercial paper houses, savings banks, rural banks, development banks, investment banks, savings and loan associations, finance companies, credit unions, and insurance companies. It provides details on the origins and operations of each type of credit source.
Credit allows individuals to borrow money and pay it back over time, usually with interest. There are various types of credit like credit cards, loans, mortgages, and student loans offered through banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. While credit provides advantages like convenience and flexibility to make purchases, it also carries costs like interest fees and penalties if not managed responsibly. When applying for credit, lenders will consider an individual's credit history, income, existing debts, and assets to determine if they qualify.
This document discusses strategies for handling money and building wealth. It begins by asserting that most people fall into one of three categories: money chasers, who are focused on acquiring money and possessions; money wasters, who spend excessively and don't save; and wealth creators, who leverage borrowing to earn interest and grow their money over time. The document then outlines strategies used by wealth creators, including collateralized borrowing through a properly structured permanent life insurance policy. This allows individuals to treat the policy as a private banking system, borrowing funds at low interest rates.
Banks are able to create money through the process of lending. When a bank makes a loan, it credits the borrower's account with a deposit which is created out of nothing. This new deposit becomes part of the money supply. Banks are only required to hold a fraction of deposits as reserves, allowing the money supply to multiply in this way. The amount of money created depends on the reserve ratio and the initial monetary base provided by the central bank. Traditionally, the money supply was determined by the interaction of the monetary base, reserve ratios, and the public's demand for cash holdings.
Atlantic International Bank offers a wide range of credit facilities including loans, lines of credit, international credit cards, and overdraft facilities.

The document recommends working with a financial professional to properly coordinate debt reduction and liquidity goals.
The document discusses various topics related to providing loans to businesses and consumers by banks. It covers the types of loans banks offer like real estate loans, personal loans, and educational loans.

The document discusses several key concepts related to macroeconomic policy including:
1) The functions and supply of money, including different types of monetary aggregates (M1, M2, M3).
2) The roles and tools of central banks in conducting monetary policy, including open market operations and reserve requirements.
3) How monetary policy is transmitted through interest rates and aggregate demand to impact output and prices.
4) Fiscal policy tools like government spending and taxation and how they can be used in a discretionary manner for stabilization.
5) The multiplier effect whereby an initial change in spending is magnified in its impact on aggregate demand and output.
This document discusses the transition from Market 1.0 which was decentralized and disconnected, to Market 2.0 which is centralized and connected through intermediaries, and the emergence of Market 3.0 which aims to be decentralized and connected through networks. It argues that the problems created by peak credit and the housing bubble cannot be solved with 20th century solutions. It proposes moving to a community partnership enterprise model using a legal framework called "nondominium" and an investment instrument called "Stock 1.0" or "Stock 2.0" to provide a more sustainable and collaborative approach.
This document presents an uncommon approach to financial decision making using a living balance sheet framework. It summarizes that traditional needs/goal planning has problems, is inefficient and requires guesswork. Instead, it advocates assessing a client's full financial picture including assets, liabilities, protection, and cash flow to achieve optimal financial balance. The living balance sheet approach provides tools to gather client data, offers strategic solutions, and creates action steps to implement decisions for improved long-term financial results.
Planning and Development of a Trust for First Nationsmarienationtalk
The document discusses different models for structuring trusts for First Nations communities. It describes a traditional "corporate trustee" model where a corporate trustee holds and manages the trust capital and funds are disbursed to the community. It also outlines a "community trust" model where an administrative trustee holds the funds but nation trustees have more decision-making power over trust activities and funds flow. The document compares the pros and cons of each approach and how they balance community involvement with protecting trust assets.
Working capital refers to short-term assets like cash, receivables, and inventory, as well as short-term liabilities. Managing working capital involves matching the timing of short-term assets and liabilities to minimize costs while meeting operational needs. Current assets can be broken into permanent and fluctuating components, with permanent assets financed long-term for stability and fluctuating assets financed short-term for flexibility. Effective working capital management optimizes the balances and financing of current assets and liabilities.
I understand saving can be difficult. But even a small amount, like $50, can really add up over time with the interest savings bonds earn. Why don't we try ordering just $50 worth to get you started? You never have to save more if it doesn't work for you right now.

4. Key terms related to banking like balance sheets, capital ratios, and liquidity ratios.
Prof.Richard Werner:Solutions for Greece-other than default, euro exit or giv...Nikolaos Karatsoris
This document discusses solutions for Greece's economic troubles other than defaulting, exiting the euro, or giving up national sovereignty. It summarizes that Greece's problems started when it lost control over its money by joining the euro. Since then, the ECB's monetary policy of excessive credit growth led to a large asset bubble in Greece from 1994-2009. This unsustainable bubble eventually burst and caused Greece's banking and fiscal crises. The document argues the ECB's proposed solutions of more borrowing and austerity will only deepen Greece's economic slump, and that stimulating growth through monetary policy is needed.
Credit refers to buying something now and paying for it later. There are several types of credit available to students including student loans, lines of credit, and credit cards. It is important to understand credit terms like annual percentage rate, minimum payment, and interest rates when using credit. Maintaining good credit involves paying bills on time, keeping credit utilization low, and establishing a history of responsible credit use over time.
The document discusses various topics related to borrowing money, including:
- Things to consider before borrowing, such as whether an item is needed, if the money could be saved up or raised in other ways, and if repayments can be afforded.

Global debt crisis honors forum 9 28-11John Bradford
The document summarizes key concepts related to the global debt crisis, including:
1. Exponential growth in areas like population, money supply, and oil extraction cannot continue indefinitely in a finite world and have contributed to current economic problems.
2. Money is a social construct representing credit and debt relationships, but the modern financial system treats money and debt as assets subject to exponential growth through practices like fractional-reserve banking and securitization.
3. Inequality has increased substantially in recent decades as wealth has concentrated among a small percentage of the population while debt levels have risen exponentially, posing risks to economic and financial stability.
- Banks act as financial intermediaries that accept deposits from savers and lend funds to borrowers. The main types of banks are central banks, commercial banks, and development banks.
- Commercial banks solicit deposits and use those funds to issue loans. Their main objective is profit-making. They accept various types of deposits like demand deposits, savings accounts, and fixed/time deposits.
- In addition to deposit and lending functions, commercial banks facilitate payments through instruments like checks, transfer funds, provide agency services, and offer other financial services. They also engage in credit creation by lending out deposits received, thereby expanding the money supply.

This document discusses various options for financing a business, including debt and equity financing. It addresses four key questions about financing needs and uses: how much is needed, what the funds will be used for, where to find the funds, and how they will be paid back. Debt financing involves taking a loan that must be repaid with interest, while equity financing involves raising money in exchange for ownership. Common sources of financing mentioned include bank loans, SBA loans, private investors, and crowdfunding. The business plan is identified as an important tool for communicating financing needs and managing the business.
Banks provide essential services like storing money, paying interest, and lending money to businesses and individuals. They make money through interest on loans and fees. Customers can choose from savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, or certificates of deposit (CDs) to save their money. CDs and money markets generally pay higher interest rates than savings or checking but have restrictions on withdrawals. Using compound interest over time and higher interest rates can significantly increase savings returns. Banks practice fractional reserve banking by keeping a portion of deposits and lending out the rest to earn more interest.

Sperry & Sons - Private Lending Presentationsperryandsons
This document discusses private lending as an investment opportunity that provides high returns through secured loans to real estate investors. It outlines the basics of private lending, including how loans are typically structured at 60% loan-to-value backed by real estate collateral. Benefits highlighted are monthly payments, lower risk due to collateral, and borrower demand for fast access to capital. Risks addressed include potential late payments and defaults, though protective equity provides downside protection. The document pitches private lending as a safer, more passive investment than stocks with potential for higher returns. It concludes by asking the reader if they know someone who may want to take advantage of this opportunity.

Banks allow customers to deposit money for safekeeping. The bank then lends this money to others and earns interest, using more money than they hold in deposits. Banks play a critical economic role by channeling deposits into loans that fund homes, businesses, and more. While regulated, banks face risk if all customers withdraw funds at once, though deposits up to $100,000 are insured. Banks earn money through interest on loans and fees, investing deposits to generate returns.

The document outlines the benefits of private lending such as high returns, monthly payments, and low risk since the loans are secured by tangible property. It provides examples of typical private lending deals with 60% loan-to-value ratios, 6-36 month terms, 7-10% interest rates. While some loans may default, the document argues protective equity in the property value provides security for investors. In conclusion, private lending is presented as one of the safest, highest returning passive income opportunities available.
Financial institutions exist to facilitate transactions between surplus and deficit economic units. Direct financing between individuals is inefficient, so financial intermediaries like banks emerged to channel funds from savers to borrowers. Banks accept deposits from surplus units and lend to deficit units, engaging in indirect financing. Wholesale banks also facilitate large transactions between corporations through activities like securities brokering, asset management, and mergers/acquisitions advice.
Investment Strategies To Grow Your IncomeCurtis Rose
While it’s wise to have a concern for increasing your assets, you may also wish to focus on using your investments to augment your income.
For example, if you inherited a valuable piece of artwork worth $1 million, you could hang it on your wall and increase your assets by $1 million. However, that picture on your wall does little to help you pay your expenses.
Investment strategies that focus on growing assets will generally result in greater wealth over the long-term, but it’s also possible to generate a significant income via the proper investment channels.
Investment strategies that focus on income make more sense as you near retirement age. With income-producing investments, you can lower your risk. This might be especially important to you if you’re too close to retirement to have the time to recover from significant asset loss.
Also, once you’re retired, you’ll want a reliable and consistent source of income.
The document discusses different levels of property investment and strategies, including having 1 property, 2-4 properties, or 5+ properties. It also covers barriers to financing property investments such as equity, cash flow, credit records, and personal character. Strategies are presented for never running out of borrowing power again through equity, debt service ratios, reducing consumer debt, and converting property debt to interest only.
The document discusses alternative strategies for financing large purchases and saving for retirement compared to traditional bank loans and qualified retirement plans. It introduces the concept of an "IRC 7702(a) Private Plan", which allows savings to grow tax-free and be withdrawn tax-free, unlike qualified plans. The plan is presented as a way for baby boomers to better plan for retirement outside of the current system, which many have not saved enough through. Contact information is provided to learn more about setting up a private plan.
Fiduciary or paper money is issued by the Central Bank on the basis of
computation of estimated demand for cash. Monetary policy guides the Central
Bank’s supply of money in order to achieve the objectives of price stability (or low
inflation rate), full employment, and growth in aggregate income.
This document discusses an approach called "The Equity Well" for helping clients access and utilize the equity in their homes. The key points are:
1) Traditionally, clients are advised to pay down their mortgage quickly, but this ties up capital that could be earning a better return elsewhere.
2) The Equity Well approach accesses a client's home equity and places it in an accessible "payment bucket" account from which their mortgage is automatically paid for up to 2 years.
3) This frees up tens of thousands in income that was previously locked in mortgage payments, allowing it to be reallocated to safer, higher-yielding investments for the client's long-term financial goals.

Banks are a proven investment that gives fair returns with little risk
• For every $1 deposited they can loan out $10
• The spread is used to fund operations and create earnings for
shareholders
10. There is tremendous money in banking
• Banks make, on average, between 200%-400% on
YOUR money, through fractional reserve lending (1
to 15 leverage)
• That includes overdraft charges and miscellaneous
account costs and fees.

Most of us spend our entire lives focusing on Rate of

15. Directing Interest Payments
Banking is about redirecting interest payments that you
would normally make to a lending institution, to an entity that
you own and control.
And starting
your own
financing
strategy permits
you to move
income off of the
tax rolls,
forever…
16. If, over your lifetime, you could redirect
$250,000 of interest payments away from the
Wells Fargo and Chase banks of the world…
and deposit that money into your personal
financing system…
Would that inspire and motivate you to explore
the opportunities that this strategy offers?

52. POINTS TO CONSIDER
1. There are only two sources of income -- people
at work and money at work.
2. If you knew, at passive income time, that you
would be getting back every thing that you paid
into a system -- tax free -- would you object to
putting more money in it?
3. When you get paid for your work, you put all of it
into “someone else’s bank” and then write checks
from the account to buy the things of life. So,
“someone else’s bank” gets all of your money. If
you owned a banking system, wouldn’t you want
to run all of your business through your bank?
53. POINTS TO CONSIDER
4. When government creates a problem (onerous
taxation) and then turns around and grants you an
exception to the problem they created (any tax-
qualified plan) aren’t you just a little bit suspicious that
you are being manipulated?
5. Tax-qualified retirement plans were all created under
the guise of “giving you a break.” First, there were
pension plans for corporate employees, then came HR-
10 plans for partners and sole proprietors, and finally,
IRA’s for individuals. Now everyone “had an exception”
to the IRS Code. If the government really wanted to
“give you a break” -- all they had to do is cut out the
taxes! Do you really think they want to do that?
54. POINTS TO CONSIDER
6. Wealth has got to reside somewhere. Where would you
prefer to have it reside? Real Estate? The Stock Market?
Or, free contract with other free persons (Life Insurance)?
7. You finance everything you buy. You either pay interest to
someone else or you give up interest you could have
earned elsewhere. There are no exceptions.
8. Your need for finance, during your lifetime, exceeds your
need for life insurance protection. If you solve for your
need for finance through life insurance cash values, you will
end up with so much life insurance, you can’t get it past the
underwriters. You will have to insure every person in which
you have an insurable interest.
55. Understanding Taxes
U.S. Supreme Court Justice
“... few people know that the free bridge exists” Louis D. Brandeis (1916 – 1939)
“I live in Alexandria, Virginia. Near the Court Chambers is a toll bridge across the Potomac.
When in a rush, I pay the dollar toll and get home early. However, I usually drive outside the
downtown section of the city and cross the Potomac on a free bridge.
The bridge was placed outside the downtown Washington, D.C. area to serve a useful social
service – getting drivers to drive the extra mile and help alleviate congestion during the rush
hour.
If I went over the toll bridge and through the barrier without paying a toll, I would be committing
tax evasion.
If I drive the extra mile and drive outside the city of Washington to the free bridge, I am using a
legitimate, logical and suitable method of tax avoidance, and I am performing a useful social
service by doing so.
For my tax evasion, I should be punished. For my tax avoidance, I should be commended.
The tragedy of life today is that so few people know that the free bridge even exists.”

Editor's Notes
Now, when the day comes that you want to stop working and start living off your savings, you will start using your policy differently than you did while you were in accumulation mode.On that day, you will stop sending premiums into your life policy, and start taking “policy loans”. Your policy will still receive interest or indexing credits, and there will still be costs of insurance – although, typically your agent will reduce your death benefit to keep those costs low.These “policy loans” that you use to create income, are different than taking a loan out from a bank. First of all, the best of these types of policies have a feature called “participating policy loans”. This means, that although you have taken a loan out, that money will still receive interest or indexing credits – as if the money were still in the policy.Also, the loan is designed never to be repaid by you. The loan is meant to be left to accumulate.How will this loan be paid back? The death benefit of your life insurance policy will repay the loan when you pass away. Don’t worry… your spouse or children won’t be left with a big bill. In fact, there is usually a good amount of life insurance left over for their needs as well. The specifics of this can be found in the life insurance illustration.
