The young urban professionals of two decades ago are developing financial difficulties today, a new study has revealed.
According to research conducted by LV=, many of those people who are now aged between 45 and 55 - and were branded as yuppies during the 80s - are struggling to manage their money. The news comes as just under half of these people (45 per cent) admit that they are currently experiencing problems living within their means, which in turn could see them struggling to meet repayments on mortgages, utility bills and loans. In addition, just 15 per cent of consumers claim to have over 500,000 pounds in assets, including their property. Meanwhile, 46 per cent of respondents state they have less than 250,000 pounds in worldly possessions.
The majority (70 per cent) of former yuppies believe that they should have saved more money earlier on in their careers. The study also showed that about a third of consumers state that they would be worried as to how they would cope financially should their income stop unexpectedly. Some 35 per cent of yesterday’s yuppies, meanwhile, feel that they are currently earning less money than the average person within their age bracket.
Overall, a third (34 per cent) of such consumers view paying off debts, whether acquired through home loans or other means, as their main monetary objective. Meanwhile, saving for retirement and making repayments on mortgages account for 54 and 40 per cent of former yuppies’ financial aims respectively.
Commenting on the statistics, Nigel Snell, communications director of LV=, said: "Our research on yuppies has found that yesterday’s privileged minority appears to have become part of today’s anxious majority. Their concerns span not only their own financial and family commitments, but also the wider environmental and social agenda.
"Despite the champagne lifestyle and optimism of the time, our research reveals that many former high flyers have ended up no better off than the average midlife family. They are just as worried about meeting the monthly bills, the cost of bringing up their kids and how they will fund their old age."
Mr Snell added that the upcoming generation of young professionals will not be able to rely on their family for help with money, as their parents are likely to be "equally financially stretched". However, he pointed out that older people can "play a vital role" in encouraging their offspring to develop a good attitude towards savings, loans, debt and other monetary issues in the future.
For those struggling with their finances, no matter what their age is, it is wise to compare loans available to them then take out a low-rate loan as a means of paying numerous creditors quickly could help many consumers to reduce the pressure on their finances. A study carried out by the Alliance Trust Research Centre in September showed that the under-30s and people between the ages of 30 and 49 witnessed the highest increase in inflation costs during August, which in turn could impact their ability to meet demands on their money such as mortgages, utility bills and saving for retirement.

Don’t Let a Disability Hold You Back Work From Home
This is one of my first ventures into article writing and so I thought that I would explain how I got into working from home.I am a widow aged 60 and I nursed my husband through terminal cancer.We had been marrird since 1970 and wasn’t just my husband,he was also my best friend my mentor and my carer.
In 1993 I was diagnosed with an incurable and progressive neurological disease which though it would not kill me would make me more and more incapacitated and the future for me was a wheelchair. However I was referred to the National Hospital for neurology in London and offered pioneering brain surgery which might improve my physical symptoms. I decided to go ahead and had the surgery at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth. Unfortunately within a couple of months of my surgery my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died just under 12 months later,I am proud to say that my daughters and I nursed him at home until the very end.
The stress of my husband’s illness and death meant that the surgery was ineffective and my condition actually got worse. I was under the care of an amazing Neurologist by the name of DR.Nick Fletcher at Walton hospital in Liverpool. Dr. Fletcher tried everything to control my erratic movements and tremors, he regularly injected massive doses of botulinum toxin into my neck and spine to paralyse some of my muscles.
Along with anti-parkinsons drugs this improved things for a few years, until I developed a resistance to the toxin. Luckily for me a second toxin was developed however it was excruciatingly painful and many patients could not tolerate the pain. Bad as it was I managed as I had no alternative until a couple of years ago when DR.Fletcher put my name forward for a new procedure called Deep Brain Stimulation. This entailed some pretty drastic brain surgery to place two rods through the top of my skull deep into the base of my brain and wired under the skin in my head to a battery box in my abdomen.
The idea was that every time my muscles worked to jerk my body about the stimulator would give a small jolt of electricity to paralyse the nerves causing the involuntary movements. This worked well for me, it does not cure the disease but it helps to control the symptoms. The only small downside is that I have to have surgery every twenty months or so to replace the battery and I also have to remain on the anti -parkinsons drugs for life. To me this is a small price to pay to be able to do so much more.
Just when I thought nothing else could go wrong I had a couple more kicks in the teeth. Firstly I had to sell my house as I could not afford the upkeep. I moved to a small village outside Chester and bought myself a small house, unfortunately for me I inherited the neighbour from hell and things got so bad that I had to sell up and practically give the house away, leaving me with no equity to buy another property.
I was however lucky to be allocated a house on the William Ewart Gladstone Estate in North Wales. For those who don’t recognise the name he was a British Prime Minister in the 1800s. He was also a great benefactor to the village that I live in and his family still run and own most of the properties in our village. I am very fortunate to live in a lovely grade two listed house.
Again when I thought that things couldn’t get any worse a couple of years ago I was diagnosed with a facial cancer. Once more I was fortunate as the surgeon who removed it did a fantastic job in getting it all out but even more so in the plastic surgery that she performed, leaving me today with barely a mark to show where the growth was.
As you can appreciate I needed to earn a living and though I was a Registered Nurse with a teaching qualification there was no way I could do a job outside the home and most home based jobs were very labour intensive and paid a pittance.
Luckily for me I came across a guy on the Internet who introduced me to a system which really opened my eyes to the potential of working from home using the Internet. I started off with a free site and then had a much bigger and better site built for myself.
My message to everyone is despite any lack of knowledge or any physical disability you can succeed especially with the help of a structured system and I am living proof of this.
I hope that I haven’t bored everyone to sleep .So my advice is give it a go and see for yourself what you are capable of, you might amaze yourself.Good luck in your venture,remember if you don’t try you will never know how successful you might have been.

Internet Web Site Design Made Easy
Part of the challenge is that internet web site design has the usual demands. These include color, shape, layout, and juxtaposition.
One of the biggest limitations is that while what you see is what you get, what others see might not be the same. How a webpage is rendered depends on the kind of computer the end user has, the browser they use, and the settings that the user has on his or her computer.
One of the biggest mistakes is to choose a font that is not standard. It might look great on your machine but on my machine, it can look really bad. It might even show up as odd characters and not as letters at all. This can be disaster for you because not only can the person not read your message, your web site will look dreadful. One of the best fonts for the internet is Verdana and Georgia. These fonts that are considered optimal for internet readability.
Choosing colors is another challenge and some colors that look great together on paper may not look so good on the internet. Just to see what I mean, take a look at a site on your computer and then take a look at that same site on four other computers. You will likely notice a difference in the colors. This is not so obvious in a workplace situation where the computers are likely similar and the monitors are likely similar. However if you look at your friend’s computer and your brother’s computer and the next door neighbor’s computer, the same page may very well look different on each one.
Coming up with the very basics like font and color scheme are easy compared with the other choices. There are decisions to make about whether to use a premade template, to design your own, to use php, css, or tables. What about fancy effects like flash and video and sound?
If you are totally new to internet web site design, then your first step should be to look at sites that are popular and see what you like about them and what makes them well-liked. You will find that the look of the site and the purpose of the site are usually related. The basic Google page, for instance, is no-frills. People who go there are looking for something else and don’t want to spend time admiring Google. They want a nice simple entry into their search.

Lessons in Options Trading Strategies - The ’Roll’
Rolling is defined in options as moving a position from one strike to another either vertically in the same month, horizontally to another month or some combination thereof.
Other times, you may have to buy your short call back so that you will not lose your stock. Sometimes, you may even want to allow the stock to be called away if you have decided that the stock has reached a level were you want to take your profits and begin to look for another opportunity.
The term ’roll’ means to move your position either out to the next strike or to move your position up or down a strike in the same month. The term ’roll’ means to move.’
Rolling is normally done via time spread and/or vertical spreads. Without getting into the trading of spreads, which is a unique strategy in itself and a topic for future Options University courses, we will talk a little about the roll.
As stated before, the covered call strategy is most effective when executed month in and month out over an extended period of time.
In order to do this, an investor must re-initiate the position every month at the option’s expiration. The re-initiation of the position every month is where the term rolling comes from. However, there may be times when you may want to give yourself a little more upside room for capital appreciation. In those rare
cases, you will not want to ’roll’ the position, because it might be called away if the call you sold is exercised when it becomes ’in the money.’
When an option’s expiration approaches, your short option can either be in-the-money or out-of-the-money. As we discuss the two potential outcomes, let’s first assume that we want to hold onto our stock.
If the option is going to finish out of the money, you would let it expire worthless and then sell the next month’s call. If the option is going to expire in-the-money and you want to keep the stock you will need to buy the short option back and sell the next month’s call.
This trade will consist of two option trades. You will be buying one option and selling another, which is commonly known as a spread and is referred to as a single trade.
So, when you roll out your covered call or buy-write, you do it by doing a spread. The front month option, the one that you happen to be short, will be bought back thus ensuring you keep your stock.
The second month option will be sold short thus re-initiating your covered call strategy. The position that remains is long stock and short calls. As far as the selection process of the spread used for the rolling of the position, there will be some choices.
Of course, there is no choice as to the front month option, you must buy back the option you are short. However, you do have a choice as to the next month option you are going to sell, whether it be near term or farther out in expiration.
This goes back to our earlier conversation about lean. If you are no longer bullish then you would not have bought back your short call and instead allowed it to be exercised and have the stock called away from you. If you choose to roll the position then you must be somewhat bullish on the stock. Your lean will dictate to you which new option to sell.
Other times, you may have to buy your short call back so that you will not lose your stock. Sometimes, you may even want to allow the stock to be called away if you have decided that the stock has reached a level were you want to take your profits and begin to look for another opportunity.

Mailing List For Affiliate Marketers, Anyone?
If you are an affiliate marketer who wants to make a comfortable living from referring your prospects to other people’s product or service for decent commissions, then you must consider building your own mailing list.
Building your mailing list of hungry prospects can be one of the best investments you will ever make, as it is time and effort worth spending on. When you strike on a Joint Venture and have a new product or service to endorse, you can look no further than your own mailing list.
Granted, that most affiliates, as in more than 90 percent of them, are not making money from affiliate programs, but this often results from the same amount of effort focused on least effective methods.
While having your own mailing list is, by a long mile, not the only effective affiliate marketing method, you can make affiliate sales very quickly even in the next few hours after sending a sales message, provided that your mailing list is huge and responsive.
This is often true, because owning your own mailing list for you to endorse products and services to is one of the fastest-producing results, beating other affiliate marketing methods imaginable.
In a nutshell, the affiliate marketer who gets ahead of the pack is the one who owns a huge and responsive mailing list of prospects.
If you would ask this question, "Which one is more important? The mailing list or the product?" Any savvy marketer would answer you, "The mailing list".
Principally, any wise business person puts the importance of hungry demand (and not just any demand) in front of the product. In other words, there is no product if there is no demand! And a mailing list represents the demand or your business if you would like to call it.
If you frequent the Joint Venture forums and membership sites of any kind, you will find that product and service owners need mailing list owners more than the other way round. This is because the mailing list owners have the prospects that the other type of partner is looking for to sell to.
And if you are a mailing list owner, you do not have to necessarily make money from selling your own product. You can sell advertising space or craft a Joint Venture with product owners in return of commissions, recurring or not.
Most of the biggest success web businesses on the Internet today often establish the mailing list (or subscribers) first before the product. One fine example is Friendster.com.
Friendster.com, in the nutshell, is a website that connects friends and potential friends from around the world through a free membership access.
While Friendster.com does not make money from the number of members who join the site, the business makes money from selling advertising space and partnering with other big time merchants and businesses, owing to the established number of members Friendster.com has recruited.
This business is perfect example that demonstrates why every business should establish a need or demand before the product itself, and why you should do the same, whether you run a friends site or not.
