The Business of Making Beats
These days, the music business, particularly the urban and R&B sector, is driven by producers. For those with an ear for unique sound, opportunities abound to profit from making beats, although it takes more than skill at the mixing board to make money. [The Atlanta Post]
God In Me
Most people DO think that money, cars, homes, clothes, and even bling is a sin. Well, not me. I tend to think that God wants and intends for me what I want and intend for myself. That is one of the many reasons we have free will. [Brown Sista]

I have a new found respect for Will.i.am, he always seems kinda deep to me, but he is really sweet and extremely sensitive. I can appreciate that. I wish him the best in his endeavors.

Unfortunately, in todays financial market option 3 is probably the most sensible. If you can;t afford current payment now, Chapter 13 is out of the question because you have to make those payments through the plan and prove enough income to do so over 5 years. Paying a reinstatement amount will stop the foreclosure for the time being, but you will end up back in the same position in a few months with nothing saved to start fresh with. I'm in Michigan and we are in the sewer as far as home values and sales and the job market is so bad you may not even find a second job in a fast food place. Take the loss, as hard as it is to swallow, and move on......

To Will, talking a miracle, I need one. I have been struggling with my mortgages for about 10 years and still 10 mos. behind. I'm on a fixed income and I have to buy medicine and pay light bill and all of that without any help and it's hard.
I do not want to lose my home, that's my home I do not have any place to go Please help me? Because I do not know what to do at this point. What will be the right thing.

Iwas wondering if Will.iam had it in his heart to help another family in need of assistance with a mortgage payment my company is willing to settle for 7,000 dollars and we can't even come up with that. Due to cuts in pay and other obstacles. I wish I to could be debt free. It would greatly help my very low income family. Thanks for any response.
