ACKOWLEDGEMENTS
No one walks alone on the journey of life. With all that I have shared my life with just where you start to thank those that joined you, walked beside you, and helped you along the way. Many have continuously urged me to write a book, to put my thoughts down on paper. Over the years, those that I have met and worked with have encouraged me to share my insights together with the secrets to my continual, positive approach to life and all that life throws at us. So at last, here it is. So, perhaps this book, other books I wrote and all their pages will be seen as thanks
to the many of you who have both tolerated me and helped make my life what is today; happy, fulfilled, rich and content.
I also need to thank a wonderful lady who changed me completely, and that is my wife. I thank Ginny, with whom I have had the pleasure of sharing a warm, wonderful and loving relationship with and whose words, over the years has taught me much about myself and the mysterious ways of life. She taught me humility and how to value the lives, thoughts and expressions of others, how to care for and understand their needs.

Chapter One – Opening a Financial Account
You might be planning to open a new bank account for several reasons. This could be your first checking account or you could be migrating to a new area so you are looking to join a new bank. Whatever your reason following are four main considerations you should consider before establishing your new financial account.
Which is the Best a Credit Union or Bank?
Are you looking for a loan and do not know where to start? Well, it is good to know that both the credit union and bank can help you secure a loan. However, you need to expect different rules between a credit union and bank.
The main difference between a credit union and bank is their state of ownership. To explain, credit unions are non-organizations owned by their customers who are known as members. This means that a credit union usually has many advantages since you will not be demanded to pay the higher bottom line (as a result of user fees, advertising, interest, checking fees, etc.) banks demand to achieve their high profit margins. These are a few reasons why there are so many people choosing to tender loans from credit unions as compared to banks. However, you need to be careful which credit union you are approaching since now days some act just like banks. Thus you will be expected to pay higher fees for offered services.
Before using any credit union, you should take time to learn more about the specific union and how it works, so as to avoid any unseen surprises. We will go into more detail about service fees later okay?
Well, of course it is good to know that both the bank and credit union keep your money safe. Though it is important to be sure your union or bank has insurance so as to be assured your money is safe in case of natural disasters, criminal activity fire or some other trauma. Remember, now is not the time to be shy.
Compare the products (service fees, interest rates and so forth) being offered among the many financial institutions available to you. Many times, the products that banks and credit unions offer are very much alike. The primary difference usually is their rates and interest when you negotiate a loan. Just make sure you choose the one that has what you are really looking for.
Customer service is an amenity in both the credit union and banks. Customer service is usually very different in both credit union and bank environments. In a credit union, customer service is usually more personalized as the staff know their customers very well. The employees are also fewer compared to the bank. On the other hand, banks usually offer 24/7 customer support despite not knowing their customers personally. Most of the time, they will attend to your problem online or via call centers without necessarily knowing who you are as long as you are a patron of their bank.
Whether you choose to do business with a credit union or bank to facilitate a loan, you need to undertake enough research (due diligence) carefully before making your informed final decision. It is a great idea to consider having a savings account in both platforms. Make sure you borrow a loan from the one that provides adequate time for paying off the loan
