The current financial climate has left may people looking for a personal financial rescue plan.  Particularly, those people who have decided to leave the rat-race and live their dream in France, are finding that their financial resources cannot accommodate the recent changes in currency values, investment returns and interest rates.  As a result, many are coming to the conclusion that it is necessary to return to the hurly burly of work if they are to survive.

But does that mean giving up their dreams?

For some the answer is “yes” – but in my view it doesn’t have to be so.

I have been involved in several different businesses throughout my “working” career and have long held the view that, in order to survive financially, it is important to generate income from several different sources and in different currencies.

Money was invented to be a tool for facilitating trade, but has now become a tool used by the rich to govern the world. If you have any doubt about that, please read on.

Originally introduced into the market as sertraline, this SSRI (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor) is a popular anti-depressant. The drug hit a bit of a row in recent history largely because new research suggests that SSRIs have little to no effect on clinical depression, despite the high rates of use among those with health insurance

The side effects alone should help you get over your depression!

Wow – those side effects!
