A Whole New World.

If, like me, your career in life has not involved any Form of marketing or selling, then to get involved In internet marketing is one hell of a giant leap.

I was first introduced into internet marketing through An email that I receive twice weekly. I kept seeing an Advert for something called GoogleAds. Now ,at this Point, all I usedrepparttar internet for was either playing games Or just browsing in general for any information that I needed On any subject matter underrepparttar 101328 sun. The advert said that all I needed to do to make any money was place adverts onto Google’s search engine and people would buy products and I Would receive a generous commission. Simple ,I thought ,that is Until you try it as an uneducated marketer.

I lost more money than I made, but this can be quite normal forrepparttar 101329 Beginner .I acceptedrepparttar 101330 fact that I had lost money but vowed to continue looking for something that I could do.

So, being curious about money making onrepparttar 101331 internet I decided To investigate further. I came across many money making opportunities That promise this that andrepparttar 101332 other, which I am sure a lot of you have seen Yourselves.

Anyway, after a while I found an offer that I thought I could try out And see what happens without losing an absolute fortune.

Money's Sad Lack of Intrinsic Value

Written by Terry Mitchell


A good number of my columns deal with finances and money-related issues. Obviously, these are issues we have to confront everyday. However, I have to try to keep in mindrepparttar fact that money has only a limited value in our lives. Many of us, including myself, often lost sight ofrepparttar 101327 fact that money is a means to an end, not an end in itself. It has no intrinsic value. It is only worthrepparttar 101328 benefit or enjoyment that a person can get from it. If someone is unable to glean any benefit or enjoyment fromrepparttar 101329 things it can buy, then it is worthless to that person. We all know (or at least we should know) that money can't buy happiness, but I'd like to go a few steps further in demonstrating how money lacks intrinsic value.

I have trouble getting excited about my retirement that may or may not occur 25 years from now. A few weeks ago, I received my annual statement fromrepparttar 101330 Social Security Administration, informing me about how much my monthly benefit would be for each ofrepparttar 101331 following scenarios: working until age 62, age 67, age 70, and upon becoming disabled. I wasn't impressed with those figures. Also, so what if I might have hundreds of thousands of dollars in my various retirement savings accounts by then? I'm not impressed with those figures either. In fact, I wouldn't be impressed by any dollar figure. The two main reasons that I can't get excited about retirement only serve to highlight money's lack of intrinsic value.

First, I know that, not even counting inflation, time devalues money for almost every individual. Here's an example of what I mean. At my current age, I can now afford most ofrepparttar 101332 things I wanted at age 20 but could not afford. However, I have not gone out and bought them because now I no longer want them. At age 60, I'll probably be able to afford most ofrepparttar 101333 things I want now but cannot afford. But, when that time comes, will I still want them? I doubt it. I fear that when I finally reach retirement, I'll no longer be interested in spending any money on anything exceptrepparttar 101334 basic needs of life like food, clothing, and shelter. While it's important to be able to afford those things in your twilight years (many seniors can't), I can't gleefully anticipate retirement to live a life of mere existence that allrepparttar 101335 money inrepparttar 101336 world can't remedy.

In honesty, no amount of money of can sufficiently make up forrepparttar 101337 damage done, both physically and psychologically, byrepparttar 101338 aging process. The old saying goes that "youth is wasted onrepparttar 101339 young." Well, I'm going to addrepparttar 101340 following corollary: "High incomes and large bank accounts are wasted onrepparttar 101341 old." It's too bad we can't have our retirement (along withrepparttar 101342 retirement money) when we are young and can still enjoy it. But such arerepparttar 101343 consequences of money's lack of intrinsic value.

Second, allrepparttar 101344 money inrepparttar 101345 world could not adequately compensate a person for being disabled, sick, or dead. Don'trepparttar 101346 people who are so excitedly looking forward to retirement realize they could die or lose their health before (or shortly into) their retirement? That has happened to countless numbers of people and continues to do so every day.
