Site of the day - PickyDomains.com, world's first risk free naming service http://learnvest.com You just got yourself a huge performance bonus. Elated, you headed over to some fancy shopping destination to spend a good portion of the amount, telling yourself you deserve the pampering because you had been working too hard. You got yourself some new clothes, shoes, accessories, top-of-the-line smartphone, even got your mom that pair of earrings she has been raving about for a week now. All in all, it was a day to smile about. Before you went to bed that night, at the same time you’re imagining a weekend getaway with some friends, you went ahead and checked your bank balance. This time, however, no matter how hard you tried, all you managed to come up with was an ironic little smile: Where did my money go? The above scenario is a classic example of money controlling you, and not the other way around, which is a surefire way to mess up your financial life. Millions and millions of peo...

Site of the day - PickyDomains.com, world's first risk free naming service   http://moneymizerfranchises.com/ Father-son road trips can be powerful and life-changing. But while most excursions wind up at Cooperstown or the Grand Canyon, Robbie Whitten's yearlong odyssey with his dad ended with him behind the counter of a pawn shop--and eventually, at the helm of an empire. In 1979 the billionaire Hunt brothers were working to corner the market on silver, ultimately driving up the price from $11 per ounce to almost $50 per ounce. That was when Robbie, then 18, and his father, Robert, hit the road, setting up booths in hotel lobbies around the South, buying unwanted gold and silver jewelry and selling it to a smelter. It turned out to be a genius business, and by the end of the year they had 30 teams of buyers crisscrossing the country. But when the market collapsed a year later, the Whittens found themselves with a warehouse full of jewelry in Columbus, Ga. "We ended up wit...

Site of the day - PickyDomains.com, world's first risk free naming service     http://www.ohgoodypartyfavors.com/ I started my company, Oh Goody! Party Favors, in March, and I launched the website in April. We sell affordable, quality party favors -- about $3 to $8 each -- for kids' birthday parties. I have an 11-year-old and was surprised at the money parents spend on goody bags for guests, and they're just filled with junk. For one of my older son's birthday parties a few years ago, I went online and bought a bunch of unique Beanie Babies from eBay to give out as party favors, and parents just raved about it. That got the wheels turning. After I had my second son two years ago, I started looking for a career change. I'd had a Web design company before, but that business is so much about building relationships, and I don't have that much time anymore. I kept coming back to this idea of party favors. I spent the last couple of years writing the business plan and...

Site of the day - PickyDomains.com, world's first risk free naming service   http://vinaudit.com Finance gurus claim that a brand-new car loses about 20% of its original retail value after the first year. Even after being driven off the lot, as a matter of fact. Still, buying a used car is an investment and should be regarded with utmost consideration, especially since with some used cars, more than the initial amount shelled out, safety and hidden costs can be issues. In the United States, CARFAX is perhaps the leading platform when it comes to conducting history checks on pre-owned cars. Information provided include vehicle registration, title information, structural damage, accident indicators, odometer readings, service and repair information, among a bunch of other things. For most people, however, shelling out $35 for information on a car that they might not even buy can be a total waste. VinAudit.com ( TRY FREE coupon ) thinks so, too, which is why for just a fraction of the...

Site of the day - PickyDomains.com, world's first risk free naming service   http://www.archermen.com/ Entrepreneurs: John Bleeden, Todd Durston and Berk Wasserman, founders of Archer Air Superiority, a line of air fresheners aimed at male consumers. "Aha" moment: In 2011 the three colleagues at a Chicago ad agency decided to fill a hole they saw in the housekeeping market. "We're really tuned in to trends, given our backgrounds," Bleeden says. "We wondered why men weren't represented. Each of us contributes to the shopping and cleaning duties at home, and we don't want fragrances that smell like cinnamon-apple pie or spring meadows. We realized we're the guys we should be targeting." Man caves: Archer Air's first collection of three sprays strives to replicate the smell of "manly places." Hunting Lodge combines scents of stone, gunpowder and "damp timber"; Distillery is inspired by bourbon, with notes of charred...

Site of the day - PickyDomains.com, world's first risk free naming service   http://PrePaidAutoClub.com Commuting on Florida's highways often feels like bumper cars with Ferrari engines. So what would happen if those heavy-footed douches no longer faced the specter of speeding tickets? Thanks to a couple of enterprising young entrepreneurs, we might just find out. Indian River County's Ian Sidles, age 25, and Dustin Boring, 30, incorporated Pre-Paid Auto Club in August. The company provides "speeding insurance." Pay dues starting at $9.99 a month, and when you receive a moving violation, the club takes care of associated fines, traffic school costs, and legal fees. It's like the Hair Club for Men. Sidles and Boring are not only presidents of the firm, but they'd also make good clients. Sidles says epiphany struck when he was nailed for speeding twice in a week. He says he was wrongly accused of blasting his Dodge Charger past a police radar gun at 90 mph i...

Site of the day - PickyDomains.com, world's first risk free naming service   http://imemories.com A lot of people go to great lengths to capture memories that are worth remembering – weddings, anniversaries, birthday celebrations, little Janey’s first steps, her first day in kindergarten, the list goes on and on.  The problem with these old films, videos and photos, however, they are rarely shared and are likely tucked away in the basement fading away and waiting to be sorted and/or converted to digital format one day. And if one isn’t so lucky, natural disasters such as fire or flooding may just speed up the “fading away” process. iMemories, recognizing this innate human need to stay connected to fond memories that can be relived over and over, is a startup that digitizes old photographs, VHS videos, slides and films, and gives the user the option to edit and share, and finally, have them burned onto crystal-clear and cinema-quality DVDs. With the help of modern technolo...
