We are not advocating the overthrow of the government (Note to National Security Agency: Don't worry).

We are promoting an online community or network of people that have a common goal of increasing our knowledge of personal finance and taking control over our finances. Besides, why should only the political blogs have all the fun on the internet.

Rebelcapitalist.com will provide information and advice about personal finance in an interesting way. But most importantly, people will be communicating with each other about personal finance and learning from each other.

Together, we can defeat the Predator Class that is out there in our neighborhoods, in corporate board rooms or on the telephone.

The foundation for this rebellion is contained in the following Rebelcapitalist.com Creed:

1) Debt is evil. Particularly, credit card debt. We should work to eliminate or limit the amount of debt we carry.

2) Vote. This means in elections or proxy statements. Our votes do matter. It is our means for holding politicians and corporate officials accountable.

3) Save income regularly. Saving part of our pay checks should be routine and happen regularly (eg. weekly, monthly).

4) Invest wisely. Be informed before investing.

5) Read and understand everything we sign. We will not sign a document if we don't understand it.

6) Beware of those who promise quick money. It is usually too good to be true.

7) Be open to learning from others.We must listen to others and respect each others opinions.

8) Understand current events and how they may affect us. We need to read newspapers, get news online or listen to nightly news.

9) Always ask "Why?"!!! The dumbest question is the one that is not asked.

10) Operation Financial Security. This is what we want and need. This means no more living paycheck to paycheck. But Financial Security requires a plan.
