Salvation Army Bell-Ringers Now Asking: Cash or Credit?

December 20th, 2009 admin No Comments »

We knew it had to happen eventually, in a world where cash transactions are rapidly becoming extinct. Yes, I’m talking to you -those of you who use the excuse “I don’t carry cash, sorry” as you avert your eyes and scurry past the Salvation Army bell-ringer with a red kettle, who merrily wishes you a nice Christmas after all. It is the same line I heard over and over this past fall standing in front of the grocery store with my cub-scouting son, who was trying to convince shoppers to purchase a $5 scout-o-rama coupon sheet. Is this the best you can do?

Well, sounds like it may be time to come up with an alternate line folks, because the Salvation Army now takes credit and debit cards for donations at the red kettles. This is not

Do you dare tap your home equity?

December 18th, 2009 admin No Comments »

You’ve heard by now that one-quarter of U.S. homeowners with a mortgage are “underwater” on their loans, owing more than their houses are worth.

That percentage is likely to grow. Deutsche Bank predicts nearly half of mortgaged homeowners, or 25 million households, will be underwater by the time the housing recession ends. That’s grim, but the flip side is that most U.S. homeowners still have equity in their homes — sometimes a lot of equity.

Twenty-three million households have 20% or more equity in their homes, according to First American CoreLogic; 24 million households own their houses free and clear.

The question now is what, if anything, they should do with that wealth.

There are many, in fact dozens of reasons having adequate life insurance coverage is important. Remember, when selling life insurance, you’re not just out there making a living for yourself and YOUR family, you’re laying the groundwork to protect the FUTURE of someone ELSE’s family.

If you’re not a parent, it’s easy to dismiss the absolute nuclear level of chaos that having a baby or two can create in a previously well ordered household! But those children, while throwing their new mommy and daddy into several years of sleep depravation, are THE MOST IMPORTANT reason for reaching out to this segment of the market. Financial Freedom

As a parent I know first-hand that parents want what’s best for their children. We want their future as secured as possible. We want to

Bankruptcy Debt Discharge

December 17th, 2009 admin No Comments »

The most common form of bankruptcy is Chapter 7. Bankruptcy debt discharge is essentially when the court officially releases a debtor of being held personally liable to repay debts incurred prior to filing bankruptcy. This occurs within a certain time frame following bankruptcy proceedings.  Not all debts will be discharged so it is wise to know in advance which types of debts you the debtor are still held personally and legally accountable for.

Be Prepared, Opposites do Attract

So what’s the difference between how men and women spend their money? That is a tough question to answer since not everyone behaves the same way. We can make generalizations about the two sexes and compare.

Most people like to get straight to the bottom line. Do men or women spend more? Different studies will give you different results, but it is safe to say that women generally spend more often, but it is a toss-up to decide who spends more money. What

Cut Your Grocery Bill With A Cookbook And Some Real Food.

December 15th, 2009 admin No Comments »

Looking for a real way to cut that grocery bill? Tired of spending hours every weekend cutting coupons for frozen, pre-packaged, processed food? I know of a much easier way – buy yourself a good cookbook and learn to cook. Don’t believe me? In the last 3 weeks I have bought only fresh fruits and vegetables to cook with and have significantly cut my grocery bill. And that is with buying from Whole Foods! For years I always bought a ton of organic prepared foods and then some raw vegetables to do some cooking with, but now that I have switched away from that entirely and am buying “raw” food every week, my bill has really gone down by quote a bit.
