The Mighty Dollar

Welcome to The Mighty Dollar blog.

As this is my very first post I should probably provide some context. What is The Mighty Dollar? What sort of topics will I be covering? All of that sort of stuff.

First and foremost this blog is about money - cash, moolllah, dosh, spots, dough, bread, loot, scratch, the green stuff - call it what you will. We need to get that straight right up front. Now I know that money is not the most important thing in the world but let’s face it - having money makes all of the other stuff much easier. Should you pursue money to the exclusion of all else? Of course not. But by the same token you shouldn’t ignore it either. Cash doesn’t just materialize out of mid air - you have to work for it.

Or more specifically, you need to work on ways of generating cash. Ideally you’ll be making the most money with the least effort. But that doesn’t mean there is no hard work involved. There’s heaps of work to do. The main thing is to work out what you’re going to do then (to borrow a slogan from Nike) just do it.

Okay, so what are we going to talk about. Topics include, but aren’t limited to, how to earn more from your day job, how to earn money when you’re not at work, how to invest your money, how to start a business, how to make money online and the list goes on. I might even talk about how to marry into money.

Of course the flip side of the coin is spending money. Do you spend it wisely? Do you get the most bang for your buck. Are you putting some away for a raining day? Or do you blow it before it’s even been earned? Thrift and frugality is not everybody’s cup of tea but we do need to strike a balance.

That’s all I really have for today. One final word of warning - posting on The Mighty Dollar might be somewhat sporadic. I intend to post when I feel like it - or when I feel inspired to post something. If I don’t have anything to say, I wont post. You don’t want to see another blog filled with verbal diarrhea do you?
