For some, the thought of dealing with their financial life sounds dreary and stressful. Maybe you assume that if you have enough money to pay for your necessities, it does not matter what you do with the rest of it. Maybe you have anxiety around finances because you grew up in a family that was always worried about them. Maybe you just feel like you do not really understand much about personal finance because no one ever taught you anything about it. These are all common situations, but there are several reasons that your life can be improved if you get a handle on the money in your life.

Paying Off Student Loans

If, like many people, you’re carrying student loans, it is in your best interest to pay them off sooner rather than later. Student loans can become overwhelming, particularly if the interest that you owe on them is mounting. If you find a way to pay them off quickly, it can free up money that you can use to buy a home or make other smart investments.

Having multiple student loans can also be difficult because you may have different terms for repayment and different due dates. One strategy for dealing with multiple balances is to consolidate them. Not only does this simplify payment for you, but you may end up with lower payments each month. You can review a guide that gives you more information on…

Online gambling industry took many turns in the US, going from completely banned to finally legalized and available in a big part of the country.

The history of gambling in the USA is a long one and not without bumps along the way. Both live and online gambling establishments have run into legal trouble in the US over the years thanks to conflicting lobbies and a variety of interests that could often not see eye to eye.

Today, online gambling is finally legal in some capacity in the vast majority of the country, but this was not always the case.

In fact, eGaming operators were prosecuted by the US authorities for many years, often even beyond American borders and in spectacular fashion.

Even today, most of the eGaming sites you can find in places like captaingambling.com are still banned in the US, but legal operators do finally exist, so we take a look at how we got here and how things were in the past.

Street Renaming Petition To Honor Mario D’Agostino
The Bronx Daily | Bronx.com

Mario D’Agostino, who passed away June 14, 2020, was a true leader in his community in the Bronx and left his mark on the neighborhood and everyone, who had the pleasure of knowing him. 

Mario was an honorable man, who changed people’s lives with his beautiful mind, strong work ethic, positive outlook on life and investing in his favorite part of New York City, the Bronx.

Editorial

You should know that in one of his first public appearances, after having resigned as Governor for New York State, Andrew Cuomo will be visiting the South Bronx. His visit to the Bronx is to meet with Members of “The New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, which I preside over.

As you know, last summer Governor Cuomo resigned, when he was accused and practically abandoned by all his friends, politicians, and community groups, whom he had helped in the past. These so-called friends, and groups that were all too happy to kiss his ring, joined the “cancel culture” environment, that plaques us all, without due process, they washed their hands with a dismissive attitude, sending the message “Crucify him, crucify him”.

Several courts and judges have dismissed the allegations of “sexual harassment” against Governor Cuomo. With this episode behind him, Governor Cuomo has begun to visit and make public appearances by visiting different faith-based organizations and community groups.

It is very important for you to know that Governor Cuomo’s first public visit was to “God’s Battalion of Prayer Temple” in East Flatbush, Brooklyn on Sunday March 06, 2022. His next planned visit is to the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization” in the South Bronx.

You should also know that in a recent poll, Governor Cuomo, without being a candidate nor having announced his political aspirations, has polled with just four (4) points behind Governor Kathy Hochul.

As you know, Governor Hochul was a friend and she was handpicked by Cuomo to be his Lieutenant Governor. However, she was among one of the first to throw him under the bus, in the midst of the allegations, launched against him.

I imagine that those four (4) points will evaporate very soon and Governor Hochul will have to consider asking Governor Cuomo for his support, if she wishes to be officially elected by the people to the governorship.

As President of the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, I am looking forward to hosting Governor Cuomo on Thursday, March 17, 2022. We welcome him to the South…

These are the secrets that professional horse handicappers use to keep winning consistently while surrounded by thousands of losing punters every day.
By / Publisher

Horse racing is a sport with a long tradition and one that has an entire legion of people surrounding it and trying to decipher every slightest hint at who the next victor might be so they could get rich off it.

Horse handicapping is a very real way for some people to make money, while it is simultaneously an empty pastime for thousands and a dangerous gamble for many others.

Today, we take a look at the secrets of actual professional horse handicappers and try to find out what separates them from the rest of the crowd and gives them the ability to actually consistently win money betting on horse races.

Come Prepared

Most people who show up at the track every week get there without having any idea what they are walking into.

Do not get us wrong, they know they are there for some races, but they have no idea who is racing, who is in form, which jockeys will be riding the horses, or much of anything else.

In fact, there are countless thousands of horse bettors who place their bets by looking at the odds alone and without doing any homework at all.

One thing to know is that, if you come unprepared, you are going to be losing money, and there isn’t really anything you can do about it.
