Are You the Next Suze Orman,” internationally acclaimed personal finance expert”?
I don’t typically watch Suze Orman – because a) I don’t like her style and b) I don’t watch QVC or Oprah where she is televised a lot. Many middle class American women seem to resonate with her strong personality and focus on the psychology and relationships of money, but many others are just plain turned off by her approach and basic financial advice.
Whether you like her or not, you must admit that she has made herself a fortune as a financial ‘expert’.

HostGator Hosting Special – 50% off Hosting
My web host provider, HostGator, is running a one day special on Cyber Monday, 2011 for 50% off your first month’s hosting fee. Here are some samples of the cost:
Shared hosting: As low as $4.95 Now only: $2.48
Reseller Hosting: As low as $24.95 Now Only: $12.48
VPS Hosting: As low as $19.95 Now Only: $9.98
Dedicated Servers: As low as $174 Now Only $87
I have used HostGator for 2 years and highly recommend them. Their service is excellant. I especially like the live chat – the folks in Texas at HostGator have walked me through multiple problems in live chats. They are well known to be good providers if you use Joomla or WordPress for your site. They won my business not only due to that but also because they do NOT outsource their service!
To get this great discount, click on my HostGator link at the bottom of my Home Page - you’ll need to scroll down to get there once you click. I am a Host Gator affiliate and will get a monetary award if you do order hosting services through this link – so thanks in advance if you take advantage of this special.

What Is Your Legacy?
Do you ever think about what you want your legacy to be? What are the things for which you want to be remembered? What are the things you want to pass along to your children and grandchildren or to the world when you are gone?
I find that holidays are a good time to ponder some of the more esoteric things in life, like leaving a legacy. As you celebrate Thanksgiving today, enjoying visits from friends and family or watching the parade and games why not think about, and maybe talk about your personal legacy, your work legacy and your family’s legacy?
Life is fleeting, death is certain. What do you want your role in the fabric of time and humanity to be? If you think about what you want to leave behind, you may discover that you want to do things differently, or do different things!
