For a lot of people the reasons behind it are obvious, however there are a lot of people out there who don’t know exactly what its all about. In the end a lot of these people don’t really need to know why it happened, however if your reading this then you should know. You should know because financial literacy and being aware of the events in the market is important for everyone.

Recently i was pointed to a great flash video which explains with diagrams and simple terminology the basics of what caused the credit crisis which has led to the current market situation.

So watch and learn (and enjoy!)

Well i, like many others, like money. Its great stuff.. you can buy things with it, and it generally helps to have some in life. Lots of people look to the internet to make some money, and there are many ways to do it. There are also many scams and traps that people can fall into.

I was looking into a particular way of making a bit of income, using blogs to generate advertising revenue. However i lacked one thing, the spark. The idea that sets in motion a great blog, with fans rushing to hear what i have to say. I had looked for hours.. site after site.. but they couldn’t help me with the one thing i required, that idea.

Then it hit me. There’s no-one talking about people like me out there. No-one really talking to the people who have the time, the people who are eager to do somthing, but would like some guidance. So why not me?

So i plan for this to be a blog about how to make money, yes. Don’t expect promises of thousands and thousands of dollars within weeks because, well frankly thats unrealistic. I would like this to be as down to earth as possible, to tell the truth about whats possible. And on the way, i would like to tell the story about myself. Because as of today i’m starting with nothing (well close to it).

So enjoy!
