An eclectic mix of current events, news of the weird, and the lighter side of sports, AmpMagazine.com is the creation of David Young, a student at the University of Miami. With a passion for writing, this is where David comes to let it all out. (And talk in the third person.)
A little about David. I have a passion for all things that make life a better experience. I urge people to strive for the best in life. For some, this means changing habits. As an active CROSSFIT guy, I had to make some changes. I quit smoking. I started using electronic cigarettes instead. I am a believer in health, wellness, and living a long, long time. This is my blog that will discuss my many views on staying fit, being a better person, and overcoming obstacles to be #1.
So, I learned the power of spreading messages and getting clicks after checking out a course on the topic of getting more people to your website. It was called AffiliateU.com Affiliate Marketing course. Pretty good material in there. I’m trying to “get edgy” with my blogging in the hopes that I can get more clicks here and you know, maybe turn a profit one day!

Today I’m going to talk about something very controversial, something that is getting a lot of run on social media. And that, my friends, is the #narcos of Mexico and their relentless pushing of their lavish lifestyles on social media.
All Eyes on the “Narco Lifestyle” Thanks to Social Media
When I read about the crazy social media battle going on in Mexico in the DailyMail, I had mixed emotions. In all honesty, one side of me loves to be entertained by the lavish lifestyle featuring scantily clad beautiful women, rare animals, and gold plated guns. It’s intriguing to see just how far some people have made it financially in life to be able to have luxuries some people only see in movies based on fiction.
My favorite photo from the Daily Mail story.
The parenting side of me has a bit of outrage at how a lifestyle that’s obviously frowned upon is becoming a trending topic thanks in part to social media.
While it’s not a proven fact, the social media account that is glamorizing the Cartel member’s lifestyle is thought to be the children of “El Chapo” Guzman.
If you want to do some searching for just how virall this lifestyle has gone, simply search for #narcostyle, or simply #narcos. You’ll find plenty of content to keep yourself busy that will range from people praising their financial success to many comments of dissent and expressing hatred.
In the social media circuit, there really is no stopping the spreading of photos that highlight the perks of the narco lifestyle. When a gold plated AK-47 is photographed inside a Ferrari, it’s something we just don’t see every day. “Likes, retweets, and shares,” happen instantaneously.
One photo even shows famous American icon Paris Hilton among the fold with El Chapo’s son Joaquin.
But it doesn’t stop there. There are many photos of well-equipped known associates showing off the most powerful weapons known to man., even more powerful than arms owned by the Mexican military. Criminal activity such as shot up police vehicles are also posted on social media.
In the United States, imagine all the comments professional athletes on social media would get if they started highlighting their lives. Sure, there are men out there who post photos of their celebrity girlfriends, their yachts, cars, and other material items, but guns and police violence have never entered the fray.
To put the magnitude of this in perspective, imagine the public reaction if a well paid lawyer, fresh off a controversial victory in the court room, were to post celebratory photos of himself with similar signs of wealth?
Whether you enjoy the glamorizing of the narco lifestyle, or are disgusted by it, this is certainly one time in our society where social media is NOT helping the situation. Instead, it’s giving further life to the operations and acting as a free recruiting board to any narco organization looking for supporters.
So my friend became a short sale expert in Miami. He literally buys people’s homes when they owe more money on them than they have in equity. I’ve always wanted to emulate his success, but I didn’t even know what a short sale was!
So, I sat down with Antonio Lopez of Antlop Investment Properties and learned about it. Pretty neat stuff actually. This is something I could really get my mind around and try to make a career out of.
Definition of a Short Sale
A short sale is when a lender which is typically a bank allows the loan taker to give a smaller and discounted amount back after he or she has already defaulted on payments. The bank accepts a smaller amount by the first loan taker himself or from a buyer from the real estate market.
Even though on the outside it may seem that the bank is incurring a loss, they are actually saving themselves from a lengthy foreclosure process.
The bank or the lender which can be a financial institution will actually prefer a short sale since foreclosures look like failures on their accounting books and they will want to avoid such entries. However the homeowner does need written consent from the lender in order to start any kind of proceedings like this.
The homeowner can approach the lender at any point before the formal foreclosure starts. It is best to go to the lender directly before a notice is issued regarding loan default. The homeowner must write a letter regarding his or her hardships and must elaborate on them in detail.
This will serve as an official document which will be a prelude to the lender giving permission for the short sale to be handled by a real estate agent.
Particular real estate agents make it a point to specialize in short sales because the process is often a little more complicated and tricky than regular real estate deals. Real estate investors also take an interest in short sales because it offers them an opportunity to make a quick buck by buying a house or apartment for less than it is worth or less than what the market price is.
Investors prefer to even put their money in houses that require a significant fixer upper because the asking price and the market price are not the same. It can prove to be a good deal even after money for repairs has been taken out. The reverse can also happen as the house can go for more than it is worth especially if the buyers responds well to marketing tactics and does not read the market analysis of that location.
Essentially the short sale is a discount and for a homeowner who can no longer meet mortgage payments, it can be an attractive offer when compared with eviction and being homeless. It also gives the homeowner back a small measure of control.

So, while I’m not the wealthiest guy in the world, I do have a few bucks because I earn money here and there from various business ventures I’ve been fortunate enough to own and operate for some years.
Finding a match can be easy if you have some cash.
While I’m not the “sugar daddy” – nor old – I do have experience in dating women of a younger age who are looking for some handouts. Today I’ll recap what I’m talking about and explain a bit further for those following along at home.
Sugar daddy dating sites cater to people who are looking for something slightly different than the average person who registers on a dating site. These sites cater to slightly aged but wealthy men who want a young, attractive female to answer to all their sexual whims in exchange for money or access to a certain type of lifestyle.
These websites usually have a proper financial clause attached to them which means that if you are a man, you cannot register unless you fall into a certain income bracket. Without that you cannot be sugar daddy even if you are interested in online dating or sexual relationships for money. These sites have various tools which they employ to check whether their members earn a certain amount of money or not.
SugarDaddie.com
This is a site which is one of the first few to market this phenomenon and practice and create a safe platform for people to connect with each other for the purpose of sex for money. This website has gained a lot of publicity and has even been mentioned on the program ‘Dr.Phil’. The entire layout of the site is very sophisticated which makes it a joy to use and easy to navigate. For a mere $30 a month you can enjoy a premium membership. Hooking up has never been this easy or effortless.
SeekingArrangment.com
This is a site for the ladies who are looking for some action. With a gorgeous red and white user interface, it boasts that it can get you arrangements which are on your own terms. Mutually beneficial arrangements are also advertised here. The only catch is that not everyone is allowed to be a member on this site. You need to put in a fair degree of effort in order to be worthy. I joined up after reading about it here. I was sold. I loved it.
They won’t admit you to apply for a membership even if you belong to certain, specified blacklisted country so bear that in mind. They are also very particular about profiles which have not been completed and which do not have display photos and both of these actions are enough to get you kicked off permanently.
Whenever you are choosing to make an account, you should opt for sites which have a fair degree of exclusivity. This just means you won’t get scammed or victimized through fraud. These sites will be able to check up on their members which just means increased safety for you.
