Let’s dream for a few minutes. What would you do with your life…what kind of goals would you have if you no longer had to work for a living? Imagine the possibilities! What if you were able to make enough money purely from investing money you’ve already earned?

If I found myself in this enviable situation, I would love to travel. There are lots of places I’d love to visit and explore.

If this were to become a reality, I’d imagine that it would be very important to establish a good relationship with your financial advisor. The personal relationship you would develop with your Relationship Manager at Northern Trust would be instrumental in guiding your financial decisions through every stage and need in your life.

SurfRecon is a new tool that you can use to quickly and discreetly scan almost any computer system for pornographic content.

Home users may be interested in this tool as a new level of Internet safety. This would allow them to actively scan any computer to see whether there is pornographic content.

Business owners can use it to make sure their employees are not surfing porn and to make sure that their employees are not reviewing porn-cluttered computers as part of their job.

In addition, law enforcement is using it to perform various searches.

This is a multi-faceted tool that can be invaluable for just about any sector of the computer using population.

I love the look of nice, gold, chunky cuff links. To me, they show a very well put together man who pays attention to detail.

Cuff Daddy has some really great looking cufflinks and I would have no trouble at all finding a really nice pair of gold cufflinks for my husband. There are some great prices on this site, too!

Off to New York? I would love to see the sights in the Big Apple. I’m not crazy about the prospect of riding the subway, though.

If I were going to vacation in New York, I would use a limo service Manhattan for sure.

NYC Car Service provides affordable transportation to and from Manhattan, Brooklyn, NJ and New York City. They have a fleet of over 450 late model sedans and Town Cars. This sounds to me to be a safe and reliable transportation option that just makes sense. When you are in unfamiliar territory, why not just play it safe and go with something that is high quality like this?

Do you know what your Financial IQ is? Well…I had never heard of this before, but I just took an online test (took about 3 minutes for me to answer about 6 screens of questions) and my Financial IQ is 93%, which is an A! I love getting A’s!

Thanks to this quiz, I learned a lot about subjects that include credit reports, credit balances, and credit scores, too. I also was able to get some good information about how to consolidate my debt, which is invaluable information these days.

With the economy the way it is, understanding your overall financial health is important. Using BillsIQ to improve your financial score is another very useful outcome of this service. Entering into a economic downturn, it really is good to have your credit be as healthy as possible. This will help insulate you for as long as possible from possible financial hardship and difficulties.

Another added benefit is the ability to find tips and advice to improve your financial health if you have less-than-great credit. Now would be a great time to spend a little time trying to make these improvements before the economy gets any worse.

Overall - I think this service is an excellent starting point to see what your current situation is and find out what you can do to improve.
