Life Lesson

First off, I'm on the ING website!! Yay!

I realize that I am blessed to have 2 jobs. My new one is totally chill- I get to go on Twitter and Facebook. I get to find tidbits of useless information but also totally cool stuff like making $5 dinners! ING has been going well. Mid-May and prospects are turning into clients.

Life lesson learned this past Mother's Day weekend: Don't let others dictate your life. I get a lot of crap from people saying being licensed in life insurance is not a 'real' job. It discouraged me but I know what I do is legitimate and helps a lot of people. I wouldn't be in the job otherwise. I am not a natural at sales!! (Why would I be wasting my time!?) This is fuel for me to work harder and prove myself. When I roll in mounds of green don't come knocking at my door! Millionaire here I come!

Haha, well maybe not in 10 years....

'Til next time!

MAY!

It's already MAY!! Time flies!!

As for work, ING has been a super support system in my new career. I have new confidence in my abilities to succeed and realize the potential I have yet to achieve.

ING has a great new product out called the Global Index Universal Life (GIUL). It is indexed to the S+P 500 as well as 2 other international markets. This is a great tool to utilize the ups of the market (NO CAP on interest earned!!) but protect you from the downs (GUARANTEED 1% return). Ask me if you want more info! I am going to switch my policy to this one because it is a great retirement tool as well as building up my savings.

Other news: I picked up another job on the side to help me with living expenses. I will be starting work next week. Kind of excited. I will be a Sales and Marketing Assistant for an Online Accounting Software company.

Life is full of new things in store.

I hope to make the most of my time and help people along the way.

I leave you with an article about SS. Baby boomers are eating up the money saved for everyone for retirement. In the best case scenario, people in their 20s and 30s will see about 30% of their SS income. SUCKS right!?! Take a look here. Consider building your own SS Fund so that you can combat the losses and have money for retirement.

Cheers!
