Help for the not so young!

I was thumbing through a copy of Good Housekeeping today, as you do, whilst sat in the hospital waiting room waiting for my Dad who was having his post operation check up with the surgeon. An article caught my attention which was about Pensions, specifically the state pension which I read was £97.65 per week for the tax year 2010/2011. Essentially, it asked five women to keep a watchful eye on their spending over a week to see how they would fare, were they on a basic state pension. As you can imagine, it was none too pretty and they all agreed that it would be an enormous struggle.

One lady however stood out as she was honest enough to admit that, and I apologise but I can't remember the exact words, but the premise was that her family budget just didn't have enough spare capacity to fund a personal pension for her. She was 38, had two children and was training to be a book keeper, obviously preparing to make a living at it.

Therefore, my thoughts turned to the question which I think about all the time, "who might be interested in making some additional money?" The answer to the question is of course in these difficult times we live in, practically everyone. I have made mention of the difficulties faced by the under 25's in the posting entitled "Help for the young" and this posting is just the same really, but aimed at those a little older! Essentially, even if we have work, we tend to live to our means and a couple with two children and a dog, the obligatory people carrier and perhaps good salaries, probably spend all of it to maintain their lifestyle, leaving little to prepare for the future. There is the well used phrase "there is always too much month left at the end of the money" and for many people how true it is!

Involvement with a business like LGN Prosperity therefore can help ease the burden somewhat, it can help give people additional income to fund things like in the case of the lady I read about, a pension for example, or just get the car through it's next service and MOT. All it takes is an open mind, the desire to make a change and the application of a little persistence and determination. Success and achievement is both exciting and motivating too. When you see success it makes you realise that if you do what you did again, and again you will become even more successful and may even influence the amount of effort and focus you apply to your new found business venture.

Simple business structures, good support structures and open mind, persistence and determination can all add up to a more exciting future with less pressure and more time to do the things you want to do, when you want to do them. How exciting :-)
