EVERYONE... this is probably one of the most single important websites I've featured. This goes BEYOND just saving you some cash. The guy who authors this site has been through the trenches of financial woes... and he's come out of it just by changing his life style and making smart decisions.

On this website... for free... he explains how people get in debt... and how they can get out.

He really is quite brilliant, but please ignore his one entry on "turning off the TV." ;-)

That's right... give this site your phone number... and they will call you at anytime you want and keep calling you until you acknowledge that you are actually awake. It's not free, but it's not expensive. It does have a free trial period.

Any heavy sleepers in here? I'm not... in fact... I usually wake up 2 or 3 minutes before my alarm goes off. What a body clock! I am constantly amazed by my ability to do that. Does that happen to anyone else?

Pollution from cars, electricity, agriculture and other human activities is a major cause of global warming. We have launched this site as a wake-up call for a fundamental issue that has a serious impact on us all. We have all contributed to global warming and we all need to be part of the solution.

Animals are also affected by our actions. More than 1,000 are endangered all over te world, while around 100 animal species go extinct each day. We believe that making people aware is the first step towards recovery of the Planet and the animals inhabiting it.

Gambling Therapy has a wealth of skills and experience in helping those affected by compulsive gambling or affected by a loved one's compulsive gambling.

I think an addiction to gambling is one of the most terrifying things. You have to go on the above site and look at their discussion forum. Some of these people have absolutely no control and have gambled away EVERYTHING they have. The strange thing is... this is more common than you think... yet no one ever talks about it.

Do you think people are more embarassed to be a gambling addict than an alcoholic?
