It’s the New Year, and this is my first post from Becoming Financially Savvy, the financial education and wealth creation blog of Butterfly Wealth Creation, for 2011. As such the subject of this article is very dear to my heart. Financial Equality!

Financial equality, in this context, refers to bringing financially stability to individuals from the poorest parts of the world, both here in the western world and developing countries. Financial freedom and financial education is a right for all, and it is amazing what one will do for it and what one can do with it, once they understand it, have it, and implement the core teachings of it.

We all know the world is much bigger than the EU, USA and UK and that although times are economically hard, globally, we have a lot more than most in other parts of the world, as such what are your thoughts on the following quote.

‘The purpose of wealth is to serve others’.

Doing what I do – promoting the importance of financial education and creating wealth – financial equality is very central to my belief that money is an energy and should be shared and used as a source of good throughout the world; as such this quote resonates deeply with me and for the last several months I have participated in a programme that promotes this, and that programme is called Club Asteria.

Financial equality is prevalent in the arena of micro-economics, alternatively referred to as microfinance, as well as micro-credit.  In MoneyWeek, the UK’s best selling finance magazine, they reported on this rising sector stating that it is an area that emerging markets have not yet tapped into, thus it is a good area to research as a potential revenue stream for investors and non investors, alike. For the full report click here.

The World Bank is a great promoter of micro-finance as it is the base root to helping developing countries grow; thus it is not surprising to know that the highly respected ex-finance director of The World Bank, Andrea Lucas, is head of the online organization, Club Asteria, which helps to create opportunities for individuals around the world to share in today’s wealth, in an ethical and transparent manner. This is an experienced woman who not only knows how money works and finance works but most importantly, for you and me, how compound interest works; and has applied it to the membership weekly commission program.

I have been with Club Asteria, as a gold member, for several months now and haven’t looked back! It is an organization for entrepreneurs and those interested in global social issues; immigrants or expatriates looking to save on money transfers; a motivated and ambitious individual from an underdeveloped region of the world; and those interested in benefitting from Club Asteria’s products and services, of which there are many.

Here, Andrea Lucas, MD of Club Asteria, speaks about the organisation: -

So How Do You Make Money with Club Asteria?

Well there are three memberships types:  Free, Silver and Gold. Silver membership is $10 and gold membership is $20 a month. For those more entrepreneurial there is also the option to become a network director and country wide network director.

When you pay your monthly membership fee you purchase points called Asterios and depending on how many points you have will determine how much commission you will receive as a paying member.  For further information on membership fees click here and weekly commission structure click here and download the Excel sheet, from there you will see how with the use of compound interest your asterios (points) will increase, thus your commission, also, up to a maximum of 10% weekly.

In addition to consistently receiving my weekly membership commissions  from Club Asteria, one of the things I am proud to say I have contributed towards via the organisation is in the providing of necessary nutritious food to many needy communities and making clean drinking water available by digging deep wells.  These projects are only the beginning of what Club Asteria can and will accomplish in providing life’s most basic needs to those most in need.

As well as the above Club Asteria has helped many individuals around the world to increase their income and improve their lifestyle. To view the 100’s of testimonials please click here.

The focus and generosity of Club Asteria cannot be questioned; as such I have a huge amount of respect for them to the point that I am offering one lucky reader the opportunity to have their first month refunded as a gold member.  To enter this competition please do the following:

1. Click here and sign up as a FREE member in the first instance

2. Fill in all your required details and then upgrade to gold membership ($20) via Paypal or AlertPay. (If you do not have a credit/debit card you can order a CashX card for $5 from Club Asteria)

3.  Then at the end of the month – Monday January 31^st I will pick one lucky winner whose 1^st month gold membership fee will be refunded to them.  An email will be sent out stating the winner as well as stated here at http://BecomingFinanciallySavvy.com

This is a serious business, so again, please only sign up if you understand and believe in the premise of Club Asteria.
