Dreaming of a One World Currency
I’ve always believed that one of the signs that we would be near the One World Order that marked the beginning of the tribulation period would be the rise of a One World Currency. The widely popular Left Behind Series has three currencies at the beginning of it, and they become one during the series.
However, I wasn’t too sure how a one world currency would work—and why each nation would give up control of their money. It seems much more possible now…

The Bailout and Duck Tales
Who would have guessed you could learn so much about inflation from a kid’s cartoon?
I used to watch Duck Tales and the whole Disney afternoon back in the 80s and 90s, and though I don’t remember the episode you’ll see after the jump, there’s quite the simple explanation of why just pumping more money into the economy will not help the situation. It’s just extending the bubble and pushing the delaying the crash.

How’s Your Financial Health?
So, this morning I was presented with a chance to go through some questions about my fiscal health. Getting out of debt was an extremely freeing experience that I recommend for everyone. Contrary to the image at the right, I received a 92% A from billsIQ for my financial health—but they reminded me of a few problem areas I still have.

Caring for One Another in the Age of Affluence
Over this weekend tragedy struck a family in our church. It happened right at the end of my garage sale—or at least that’s when I saw it.
I was on my way back to the church to return some tables that I had borrowed when I saw smoke billowing across the main artery I was on. I figured it was a house on fire based on the amount of smoke and the number of fire engines in the area.
It didn’t even occur to me that it could be someone I knew.

SocialSpark: PayPerPost with Friends!
Many of you have probably heard of PayPerPost, but have you heard of the new service from IZEA called SocialSpark?
The main difference between SocialSpark and PayPerPost is that there is a social network surrounding SocialSpark that is only on the forums of PPP.
So, that means that you have a profile, that you can make friends, establish links to other people, send them messages, and the line between advertiser and post writer are more blurred.
This is my profile, and, as you can see, there have already been some views and I’ve already been networking.

How to Show Your Finances Who is Boss
One of the hardest things about easy credit is not spending money. Somewhere, lurking in the back of your mind is a voice that only speaks when they see something that they want and that you cannot afford. It tells you that there’s extra money in an account. It helps you justify going against your better judgment. And judging by just how much debt the average American carries it is very persuasive!

Federal Government Announces Gas-Guzzler Initiative
WASHINGTON - Faced with the rising cost of gas, the Democratic Presidential candidates announced their support for a bill that would create a new program for those owners of SUVs, trucks and vans who have suddenly found themselves with vehicles with poor gas mileage and the inability to sell them.
The bill, nicknamed “Too Much Car”, would give tax credits for car dealerships that trade these larger vehicles for small or midsize cars– and double the credit for those who trade for a hybrid.

We Should Do Something About This
Suli is a thirteen year old girl that’s about to follow one of the two acceptable paths for women to take in India– that of a prostitute. She is going to sell her virginity, and then her body daily, to make money for her community. This poor community has built up customs to try to take the edge off– by having a non-wedding party after her virginity is sold to the highest bidder. After this, she will continue to sell her body until she’s considered undesirable, at which time she will hope to live off of any children she has had.
