    Everything that happens in the world affects our abilities to earn, invest, and make money. And believe it or not, affecting the change in the world that you would like to see is driven by what you choose to do with your money. But how do you know what to do? Where do you begin to answer the question "What Should I Do with My Money?"What Should I Do with My Money? provides a sweeping look at how economies and markets are directly affected by the way people live, work, play, love, and hate: these issues, he explains, are the same ones that determine how groups, corporations, and nations make money or lose money. Certified Financial Planner™ Bryan M. Kuderna demystifies the future of economics by breaking it down into the most important categories—Population, Entitlements, Education, Economic Philosophy, Environment, Technology, War, Religion, and Personal Finances—and how they impact markets.Each chapter includes special features explaining the "macro problem," and what that looks like on your personal "micro" scale—helping you connect the dots of the global issues to your own financial life. Introspective questions throughout, along with the same financial and economic insights Kuderna offers to his own clients, help you apply your newfound understanding of why what you do with your money goes beyond the kitchen table.

    What is your relationship with money? How do you view it? I asked you these two questions because the way that you feel, think and act towards money formulates your “Money Blueprint” and determines whether or not you will be financially successful. Your “Money Blueprint” is ingrained in your subconscious mind and it has been immensely influenced and formulated by your interactions with others and their views of money like your parents, relatives, and the various institutions you have encountered in your lifetime like school, the church etc. 
    In his book entitled Money Blueprint: The Secrets To Creating Instant Wealth author and serial entrepreneur Omar Johnson examines how exactly your “Money Blueprint” has been formulated and how it has possibly hindered you from achieving financial success. Maybe you are the type that has an aversion to money and believe that “money is the root of all evil”, or maybe you are the type that feel that rich people are “greedy”, or maybe you are the type who makes money only to sabotage yourself by giving it all away or by going broke like most people do when they win the million dollar or the professional athlete or entertainer who has squander it all. No matter what your case maybe in this book you will find the solutions that will enable you to create a new, healthy and ideal Money Blueprint.

    Open source software finds its connections with free software and is part of free and open source software over the extended term. Open-source software (OSS) is a form of computer software program that releases source code under a licensing legitimacy wherein the copyright holder allows users the privilege to analyze, modify and share the software to anyone and for any productive purpose. Open-source software may be created either freely and collaboratively. Open-source software is a case in point of open collaboration. 
    The progress of open-source software will offer assorted perspectives beyond those of a single enterprise A 2008 study from the Standish Group reported that the implementation of open-source software models culminated in savings for customers of around $60 billion (£ 48 billion) annually. Initiatives of open source software are undertaken and managed by a network of voluntary programming associations and are commonly used in the gamut of both free and commercial outputs.
