While Florida and Arizona used to be the best cities to retire in now days there is a list of some different kinds of places! Apparently the cliché Florida retiree bit just doesn’t fit the mold for everyone out there. This is mostly in part to new retiree ages and they are of a whole different generation than the baby boomers were. The new generation of retirees seems to be attracted to different things and these cities have made the list for being the best to retire in, and here is why.best cities to retire

 

Best Cities To Retire In

1.      Austin, Texas: The amount of people ages 55-64 have increased by 110 percent in Austin just in the past 10 years and it expected to go higher than that. Austin Universities and city colleges have started offering classes that allow people to continue their education and this is one of the reasons it has become one of the best cities to retire in.

2.      Atlanta, Georgia: Thanks to the diversity and low cost of living in Atlanta more and more retirees are choosing the Peaches State to live out the retired part of their lives. In the suburbs of Atlanta you can really find low costs of living but plenty to do as far as keeping yourself busy.

3.      Portland, Oregon: With so many parks, trails and activities for retirees to participate in no wonder Portland is one of the top cities for people to retire in.

4.      Boston, Mass: Whether it is the history or the beauty, Boston has definitely increased the number of retirees and potential retirees in the past few years.

5.      Milwaukee, Wisconsin: If you can stand the super frigid winters with snow this beauty of a city may appeal to you. While it is a bit too cold for me it seems more and more people are choosing the beautiful but cold scenery to retire to.

6.      Sante Fe, New Mexico: Warm weather, breath taking views and very rich history are just a few of the things that make Sante Fe one of the best cities to retire in. Continue reading →

Start A Website With Love

If your looking to get some attention, think outside of the box and people will love you for it as it will help in your creation when you start a website.

 When you Start A Website

Especially when it's one of your first, make the first one of passion. It's hard enough to do something on a consistent basis and harder to just get it started. If your going to invest time and money into a “project” tap into the love of why.

There is a lot that goes into starting a website but when you decide to build one it's best to start before hitting the technical parts.

Think of the reason why and decide what your trying to do online.

 

 Focusing On Direction

Figuring out what you want from your online property so you can build a focused project that will convert is essential. Too many times projects online don't have a focused market and generating traffic, leads, fans or income just doesn't pan out the way it was supposed to.

So when your ready to start a website online that comes from passion or love, click the start a website banner below and I'll take you through some training to prepare you on your journey online.

 

Start A Website With HTML

Now don't get me wrong. You can build a website from scratch with straight up HTML but why would you? If your into that sure be my guest. Most don't build a website for the love of making one. The reason you start a website is because you want to have the benefits of running one.

  • fame
  • fortune
  • love

The vast majority of people I speak with have no urge to dive into the actual creation of starting a website because they want the end result. So let's not make it harder than it needs to be.

Sure if you want to do what I do online and build multiple websites as a income generator but I don't particularly like making the websites. What I like is collecting on their sales. So, I make websites to make money. I think that's pretty straight forward.

Figure out what you want and realize you can have a fantastic website with little to no HTML experience. All you need to know is how to follow some simple video directions and just get to it.

Many will just make one website but as long as you own that website you are better than 90% of the people I meet online who don't even own their web properties.

 

Your Website Won't Complain

You are taking your first steps into the unknown but the rewards are huge if you can envision them. Think about what your website can do for you because it's one of the most LEVERAGED assets you can have.

Think of your website as a super star employee.

  • Works 24hrs a day
  • Doesn't give you lip
  • Won't ask for a raise
  • Will do the tasks asked of them
  • Costs peanuts to maintain
  • Never goes on vacation

What more can you ask for?

So let's start a website you can be proud of and get ready to rock the internet.

If you are looking for a little side income or a new way to make a living, starting up your own business could be a great venture. However, unless you already have a hobby or venture in mind, you may need some help coming up with business ideas for women to pursue.

One very popular way to start up your company is considering opening up an in home day care and preschool facility. You simply just need to be approved by your state (which I found isn’t too hard) and then get some parents to be your first clients. If kids are not really your thing I have quite a few women friends who make different arts, crafts and jewelry to be sold. Anything that can be handmade usually attracts people and can be a great way to at least have a small side income.business ideas for women

For the collectors and garage sale stoppers you may find that getting involved in antiques may be one of the best business ideas for women you should try out. Some women already have quite a collection of different antiques and collectibles so starting up isn’t as expensive or hard as other ventures may be for them. In all honesty, I have found you can pretty much make a career out of anything as long as there is a market for it and people will buy it. I have seen some pretty strange, weird, cool, unique and even creepy things make some of my friends quite a bit of money simply because there was a demand for it. Continue reading →

Thanks to scholarships for minorities being available more and more kids and continuing their education in order to get ahead in life. Minorities such as Hispanics, African Americans and Native American (but not so much Asian, why is that?) often have more scholarship opportunities because of the external companies that sympathize with the struggle of being a minority. Since I am a minority myself I understand how important it is to find a way to further your education.Scholarships for Minorities

I have found out that there are even quite a few Universities and Community Colleges that offer scholarships for minorities in order to get more students to enroll. It is almost impossible to not encounter another race in your area and when you are allowed to get the same education as others then you are just as qualified for the better paying jobs.

What Kind of Scholarships for Minorities Can I Get?

There are so many different kinds and amounts of scholarships out there for minorities so I always say that it is best to shop around first. Pick out which scholarships meet the criteria you are looking for as well as you meeting the criteria the scholarship is looking for. The available scholarships to you will really depend on where you want to further your education and in what career field as too. There are millions of dollars handed out each year to minorities by these scholarships in order for them to further their education to get a career. With all of that money being handed out don’t you think you should take advantage? I know I would! Continue reading →

There are quite a few jobs for 17 year olds out there you should be able to get in your area. Retail, fast good, restaurants, and warehouses are some of the most common jobs that 17 year olds have and they can often pay pretty well. Fast food jobs are pretty easy to get and depending if you have already graduated or not you could get the day or evening shift. These jobs are good ways to make a steady pay check and can often offer some advancement later down the road.

Another popular jobs for 17 year olds is in the retail industry like working at a mall or mass merchandise store. These jobs typically do not offer much advancement but can be a good way to make some extra money in the summer or part time.

Unique and Different Jobs for 17 Year Olds

I have found that the typical jobs for teens doesn’t make everyone happy I went and found some unique and fun jobs that 17 years old can get hired to do, if they are available in the area. Working at an amusement park is a great job for a teen to have because it is a fun environment with perks too. Zoos are another example of a fun job if you have one around you but you may be limited to the jobs you can do here.

Babysitting has been one of the top jobs for 17 year olds for years and if you like spending time with kids then go for it. I know a few different teenagers personally that babysit and bring home more money than some of my adult friends do. You may be able to pick up a job at the local movie theater as well which always comes with some moving watching perks here and there. Plus, the job is pretty easy and is a pretty fun and family friendly environment.

Online Marketing Jobs for 17 Year Olds

These local jobs are great for 17 year olds however; online marketing can prove to be an even better job without technically being a “job”. There are several ways you can make money online from taking surveys, testing products, taking part in affiliate programs, even reading emails sent to you.

When it comes down to it I think that these online marketing jobs are even better for the 17 year old for a number of reasons. The payment isn’t being taxed (almost all of the time), you are working on your own schedule so you don’t have to give up your social life, and often times the money is even better than you would be making if you worked at a fast food restaurant or retail store. When it comes to finding some of the best jobs for 17 year olds there are definitely plenty of options locally, but if you want to make good money on your own schedule then the online marketing jobs are definitely a better choice.
