When Frank Yan was young, living in London, England, Thanksgiving was not a celebration he celebrated. As soon Frank arrived in Sacramento, California at the age of 9 years old, Frank realized that Thanksgiving is a holiday the United States celebrated.
Frank used to think the Thanksgiving holidays was boring. We all eat delicious foods, however we do not receive any presents like we would on Christmas. Now since Frank is older, he had a greater appreciation of the Thanksgiving holiday but the most important is the celebrating with the family, friends, and all the blessings in his life.
It is so very easy to feel as if nothing is going in your way, but remember it’s the trails and tribulations that will turn into something to be grateful for brand new a new lesson and a new opportunity to grow stronger and wiser.
This year in Sacramento, Thanksgiving, Frank is thankful for all the strengths and the all the flaws that come together to make Frank Yan who he is. He has grown so much but yet he still has so much growing to do, and he’s thankful who the people who have been there every step of the way.
Happy Thanksgiving Sacramento and all those around the world. Enjoy this year Thanksgiving with those you love.

The recession hasn’t shaken Americansconfidence in home ownership, according to a new survey of 1,000 adults nationwide by NeighborWorks America.
About two-thirds of survey respondents say their opinion on home ownership has not changed over the past five years. Eighty-eight percent say owning a home is an important element of their “American Dream.
“Although the housing market took one of the largest hits ever, with home prices falling nationally and foreclosures rising to more than one million homes annually, home ownership remains a goal many want to achieve,says Eileen Fitzgerald, CEO of NeighborWorks America. “But it’s important to also note that the poll also underscores that we need to have quality and affordable rental homes available for those people who simply prefer to rent.”
The majority of renters and home owners surveyed say they believe the home buying process is complicated. They attribute the major obstacles to personal finance issues, such as lack of job security or not having enough money for a down payment. One in four surveyed say they have no familiarity with the mortgage products available.
Still, about half of those surveyed say they feel more prepared today than five years ago to buy a home. Forty percent, though, say they are less prepared.
“These results tell us that most consumers believe that they know when the time is right for them to buy a home and feel strongly that home ownership is important but that their personal situation may have been affected in the past five years and is holding them back from pursuing home ownership,Fitzgerald says.

Sacramento resident Frank Yan asks, in today's society, what is it that makes a sports car a sports car? Could it be a higher caliber of performance? Frank Yan agrees so. So this increased performance out of these machines means that it also comes at a higher price tag. The prices of a these performance vehicles are generally and always higher than its more average counterpart. The replacement of parts are also more expensive and the it's typical for labor times to work on them are higher too. Sports cars on the most part require higher insurance policies. The category of “sports carcan be very subjective in some areas, and the insurance companies could have various definitions for what does not count and what does count as a sports car. Nonetheless, there are many elements that the insurance take into account:
Engine Size The larger of engines the better the performance and the indicative of speed and performance. However, this isn't always the case. Some SUV's and or trucks may carry 8 cylinder to 12 cylinder engine to increase its hauling power. But there's cars that offer 4 cylinder engines as basic to their standard. So driving a car with a 6 cylinder or greater may suit the insurance company’s sports car definition.
The number of doors a 4 door sports car are not common. However a few manufactures do produce them. Typically a 4 door vehicle indicates the car is designed for families. Those cars with 2 doors normally state a smaller vehicle, like a coup built with maneuverability in mind and or speed. A car with 2 doors might indicate the insurance company to offer its sports car-style coverage.
Weight and HeightTo maximize performance and speed in a sports cars they are normally weigh less than those cars that are non sporty and a lot lower to the ground. Many insurance companies may take these factors into consideration.

Consumers [...]
Why did Frank Yan have us thinking like this? Because there is so many people that spend the majority of their life in the pursuit of this “manmade” invention. For the most part money is really a necessary, yet it is an insidious detour away from everything that really matters.
Like a bottomless abyss in the sea, there’s money smack dab in the middle of almost everything meaningful that you want to do. You can’t ignore it at all and it’s almost impossible to get anything done without it, so you are forced to deal with it.
Does Money call all the shots?
In the name of money and the careers, we may invest years of our lives on specialized education and training we may seek. Why is that? So we can spend another 30-50 years earning a living here in Sacramento. What’s really at the end of our rainbow? The hope of being able to retire with enough money to enjoy whatever time and health we have left.
It does become especially challenging to maintain a balanced view of money when we are confronted by economic hardship. The lack of legal tender can corrupt our sense of self-worth, and even threaten our sense of security. Not any inanimate object is more emotionally charged. That is a tremendous amount of leverage for an artificial commodity we call money, don’t you think?
Can people really imagine if there was no more money?
It is going to be difficult to wrap our minds around this concept of no more money because it is bound to be outside the realm of our experience. How would our Sacramento city society be structured if there were no such thing as money anymore? What would we all focus on and how would we make value comparisons?
We do not really know because it has never been tried on such a large scale. One thing is for sure; is most people’s lives would probably be a lot more true and realistic without it. Maybe we should just abolish the stuff and start focusing on things of real value.
Frank Yan asks: What’s your take on money today? Are you able to imagine no more money anymore?
