I didn't bust my butt all my life to give some charity a bigger advertising budget and another luxury summer home for their director.

I have been a Title Examiner and Director for over 7 years now handling many of the title processes from the basic re-fi's, to purchases, short sales, HELOC's, and reverse mortgages, taking loans from what we like to call 'from soup to nuts'.

I just silently sat in my chair and remembered she was cutting my hair, and making a living off $10 hair cuts.

The whole thing seems like a scam to me on so many levels -1 ) The "arrears" are listed as a single line item on the bill with no explanation of how they were derived2 ) We have never ever received a bill for any of the previous years (except for last years fee of $60)3 ) There are no minutes or any information about their policies or decisions on thier website4 ) I googled the "directors" of the homeowners association and they appear to be property investor types rather than local residents5 ) My wife was 13 when she received the land - whatever she signed (almost 30 years ago!!)

The Dr 'needs' 240k/year to live off of (which means withdrawals of 300k-350k from a retirement account) while the engineer needs 60k.I had a morning meeting with a client (late 60s) who fell out of his chair when we told him that in a couple of years when he is forced to start withdrawing from his IRA that his yearly income would be 100k.

I also was the Director of Sales and Marketing for a national lifestyle publication and under my direction their annual revenue went from $750k to $1.6M in 3 years.

After all this, he gets blind sided by some crazy defensive linbacker during a blitz :lol: , and he ends up in a wheel chair.

There are three great strategies for doing this:•Local media interviews – The best way of getting your name in front of News Directors and Program Directors is by issuing pertinent press releases.

I've been a graphic designer/creative director in design shops and ad agencies for almost 20 years and am looking to make the switch to a different career path.
