HOW TO PROTECT YOUR WINNINGS SO YOU DON’T GO BROKE

Written by Scott Britner


It’s been proven time and time again thatrepparttar majority lottery or other gambling cash prize winners will be broke within a few years of winning. What a very depressing statistic.

Many lottery or other gambling systems are created to win whenrepparttar 109860 player loses. The odds are inrepparttar 109861 favor of “the house.” Sad but true.

However,repparttar 109862 WeeklyWinning.com lottery system was designed to win because you,repparttar 109863 player, wins. With a member-driven system that has increasing jackpots, guaranteed winners, unlimited chances to win and no limits…repparttar 109864 odds are stacked in your favor.

With allrepparttar 109865 work to develop such a player-focused lottery system, we want to gorepparttar 109866 extra mile and make sure when you do win – no matter whatrepparttar 109867 amount – you have a plan that will help you not return to your same financial situation prior to winning.

I call itrepparttar 109868 10/20/70 plan.

The great thing is this plan can be used for your winnings at WeeklyWinning.com or any money you receive including lotteries, other cash prizes, tax returns… even your paycheck.

Practice this system with your “winnings” and then try to migrate it into your “regular” paycheck. I promise you an exciting financial future once you do.

Let's allocate it inrepparttar 109870 following ways:

1) 10% to Charity

Before you spend a dime, you should take 10% “offrepparttar 109871 top” and give it to charity.

Charity isrepparttar 109872 act of giving back torepparttar 109873 community. Contributing 10% is a good amount to strive for. You can certainly decide to go larger or smaller -- it's your plan.

This act of giving should be taught early in life. But it’s never too late. Take a tour of a place where people are truly helpless so you can learn to feel compassion. Once you understand what some are going through daily, you won't have any trouble parting with a dime out of your dollar.

The reason I said you should start practicing with any extra money you have is because you should practice whilerepparttar 109874 amounts are small: It's pretty easy to take a dime out of a dollar. But it's considerably harder to give away ten thousand out of one hundred thousand.

I know you say, "Oh, if I had a hundred thousand I'd have no trouble giving ten thousand." I'm not so sure. Ten thousand is a lot of money. Start practicing with a little so you'll developrepparttar 109875 habit beforerepparttar 109876 big money comes your way.

2) 20% to Save/Invest

Withrepparttar 109877 next 20% you're going to create wealth. How? Well, there are lots of ways to create wealth with this 20%.

The Various Countries - A Rant About Country Music

Written by Sarah Francis


It is no secret that overrepparttar past couple decades country music has struggled with it’s identity far more than any other genre inrepparttar 109859 industry. At this point nobody can really claim to be a country music fan without being questioned what kind of country fan? The answers being seemingly endless, I’ve broken them down into a few main categories (but really, there could be so many more).

Pop Country

This category could really be referred to as “Nashville Country.” It hosts probably about 90% ofrepparttar 109860 country music out there. I often find people not wanting to admit in conversation that they’re fans of this category. They like to talk about how they love Willie Nelson and mouthrepparttar 109861 words to Merle Haggard songs even though it’s obvious their faking it. Then they get alone in their cars and unwind by driving downrepparttar 109862 highway, blasting Shania Twain onrepparttar 109863 radio, and singing along atrepparttar 109864 top of their lungs. Let me just say, there’s nothing wrong with that, like what you like. Nashville record labels pick very talented, often attractive singers that perform with some great bands. They also have some ofrepparttar 109865 top songwriters and composers inrepparttar 109866 industry working for them.

One criticism I would have against this category…In recent years, there has been a rebellion of sorts against Nashville music from musicians in bothrepparttar 109867 Rebel and Texas sub categories (see below) with songs booing Nashville and praisingrepparttar 109868 old timers. Sometimes this gains them popularity and they get so popular that they land a big contract with a Nashville record company and for some reason everybody is perfectly comfortable with this phenomenon. This is what I like to refer to as “Pat Green Syndrome”.

Rebel/Rock Country

Very liberal people are who you tend to find in this category. These artist just do whatever they feel like doing, and consequently there are not many of them, or at least not many of them that stay popular after their initial shock value wears off. They are usually independent and like letting it all hang out. A good example currently inrepparttar 109869 limelight is Gretchen Wilson. Others that haven’t quite reached her popularity level, but have been around for a while include Ray Wylie Hubbard and Todd Snider.

Sometimesrepparttar 109870 guys in this category derive quite a bit of their rebelness from incorporating rock into their music. Good examples of this are Robert Earl Keen and James McMurty (I highly recommend both of them).

Texas Country

This category has developed into somewhat of a music cult, and it stretches all overrepparttar 109871 United Sates. (Note, this last month there was a huge three day Texas music festival in Colorado). It’s popularity started off withrepparttar 109872 likes of Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Gary P. Nunn. What really sent it off in recent years wasrepparttar 109873 popularity of Robert Earl Keen, Cory Morrow, Pat Green, and Jack Ingram. It plays extremely well in frat houses acrossrepparttar 109874 Lone Star State. Whilerepparttar 109875 guys mentioned earlier have taken off in a different direction, new artists like Max Stalling, Mark David Manders, and Ed Burleson have started to take their place. If you ever watch this development, it’s easy to see thatrepparttar 109876 Texas music industry is growing so fast that it will probably soon be just as big as Nashville’s.
