Now, How Did That Happen?
Even Superman can have his identity stolen.
There was Episode 36 of the old TV Superman series called “The Face and the Voice (1953),” where an evildoer captures Superman’s identity, though not his super-powers. No, that crook wasn’t very smart, or very successful, but even Superman had to scramble to defeat him. In the 21st century, where technology has magnified the risk of identity theft, your name and your digits need to be under careful and permanent lockdown. And guess which age group, according to the Federal Trade Commission, has the highest incidence of i.d. theft? Yes, the new digerati, those 18-29 years old. Behind their high affinity for technology and the dangers of unwittingly sharing critical personal data, there is also a bit of purposeful ignorance around the possibility of theft. It always happens to someone else, doesn’t it?
There is probably no greater hassle than trying to re-capture a stolen identity. It can take years.
Why identity theft? The money-making ideas are only limited by your imagination:

I'm Good...But I'm Expensive
X2. There it is.
Sometimes a formula is so simple that even a round of calculus can’t add to its meaning. DINK is a way to double your income overnight…if you dare. You see, DINK comes with a hitch, or maybe a bunch of hitches. It all starts with getting “hitched.”
Double Income-No Kids. Yes, it is that simple. All you have to do to is marry or live with a significant other to increase your household income exponentially overnight. You make $50K, your spouse or partner makes $75K. Bingo! $125,000 a year, just like that. Yes, two can live more cheaply than one, but three…or four? That’s where things get tricky.

Talkin' the Talk
Google “earn,” and before you can blink you will have 122 million possible links, or about the same number of Tetris games sold since 1984. If you spend one minute per link, it will take you 232 eye-boggling years to complete your searches, with not even an extra minute for a smoothie or a bathroom break.
Now, search Plentii under “earn,” and you have 5 categories, each with essential advice and expert knowledge to help you make sense of your financial “in-box.” Each offers the power and potential to convert your talent and education to ready cash, excellent lifestyle choices and lasting prosperity. You won’t need to stay for 200 years, or even 200 minutes, but for every minute you do stay, you will find authentic, radical presorts of what it means to earn, who is doing the earning, where it’s being done, why you need to pay attention and how you can benefit.

Another great vid from plentii. This one talks about a Business Week article which spells long-term financial doom and gloom for Gen Y. Is Gen Y on the permanent financial skids?

Is That All There Is?
“Death is Nature’s expert advice to get plenty of Life.” ~ Goethe
The land of plentii is a state-of-mind, not a place. It is not filled with coffers of gold, $80,000 sport cars, designer handbags or fabulous penthouses. It is definitely not found in the greedy rubble of Wall Street, or in the pockets of swindlers and crooks. The land of plentii is a way of self reliance, abundance and prosperity…and a way to manage your lifestyle.
Yes, but what are these things we call abundance and prosperity?

Time Can Only Be Spent
“I’m living my life, not buying a lifestyle.” ~ B. Kruger, Artist
One of the things I realized early on while braining things up with our great team at Plentii is that we are not really just about smart money and personal finance. We are also very focused on the choices one makes about earning, spending and saving; and how those choices create your lifestyle and your very own version of prosperity. No, you really can’t ignore the importance of money in your life; but you can influence its impacts by your attitude and decisions.
A friend recently sent me this as part of a “good luck” chain letter:
