Does Past Debt Got You Scratching Your Head

Does money issues have you putting those credit cards on hold? Has it got so bad where you have stopped paying credit cards? Did you know there are places out there that can help you lower those bills so you can pay them. I knew long ago I would be bad when it came to those credit cards so I never got one. Having one would be great for emergency reasons; however, those who get them for that reason end up charging them up for other non-emergency items. Don't let that credit card debt keep piling up, and stop those annoying calls by making plans to pay off that debt. With Christmas coming up most will probably be going over board and making several charges, if at all possible try saving so much out of your pay check each week and make this holiday a non credit card one, if you don't have the cash for the item, don't get it. How many of you have several credit cards? … [Read more...]

Monster High Costumes

We went to Walmart last night and they had a display where the Monster High Costumes once were. It looks as though every little girl in the county will be going as those Monster High girls. Last year my daughter went as lagoona blue. This year they have more costumes, and Monster High has become a bit more popular. I can say this much at least when we go to the store we have a selection of Monster High dolls now. Before as soon as they hit the shelves they were sold and on ebay with jacked up prices. I remember when the $22 sweet 1600 car was on ebay for almost $80 dollars. I mean really some people are worse then the people running our oil supply and gas stations. My daughter never got into Barbie dolls, so when the Monster High dolls came out I wasn't sure she would actually play with them once she got them. To my surprise she places with them for hours at a time. She has roughly 22 thankfully she earned the money from Grandma and Grandpa, to purchase most of them. I think … [Read more...]

Several Jobs Out There

We keep hearing about there being no jobs, but there are jobs, just jobs many people don't qualify for. If you are currently looking for a job, one of your best bets would be to contact a employment agency. These agencies are here to help those without work find jobs that  they can do. Whether is be office work or factory work. Sometimes it can take time for the agency to find something that would be a great fit for you. While these jobs are usually always temporary and have no promise that you will be working for a set period. If you go into the job and you show them what you are capable of doing, chances are your temp job may turn into a permanent job. Employers want workers who are going to pull their own weight, and not ones that have to be told what to do and do more wondering than working. I have found that if you are good to your boss your boss will be good to you. Sometimes though it does take time to find that perfect job, not everyone is cut out to do certain things. If … [Read more...]

Investing In Gold For Future Profits

Every commodity on the stock market is important, but precious metals are a particularly good choice for middle class investors. The prices of precious metals rise and fall just like other goods, but you can be rest assured their prices always stay somewhat stable. The reason for this is because of their wide variety of uses. Gold and silver are used to make jewelry, colored glass, time pieces and highly collectible coins and currency. This means that in order to invest in precious metals, you don't need to practice stock trading. One of the easiest ways to invest in precious metals is to acquire goods containing them yourself. The American eagle gold coin is a shining example of these items.

Are you prepared??

People are losing homes, cars and everything they've worked so hard for. There have been some circumstances in my life lately that's got me thinking -  "Are we prepared?" If one of us were without a job, or God forbid both, would we be able to keep up with the lifestyle we are so accustomed to?  We don't live a lavish lifestyle at all we do have times where we are living paycheck to paycheck.

Viacom and Directv Head to Head

So what is everyone intact on Viacom demanding their channels be pulled by Directv? I know many people are putting blame on directv, however, if you dig into this whole situation deeper you will see viacom is the one to blame. Within the next few years, most people will be streaming all their shows online, so Directv is trying to not only help you, but also themselves by trying to come up with a deal where you the consumer, can purchase ONLY the channels you watch. We had Directv at one time, however, we didn't feel we should have to pay for all those channels we didn't watch when we only watched a certain few. However, those certain few were on the most expensive package deal you could get. We have not had Directv in almost a year, we do have Netflix, and Hulu Desktop, and well we know we can always go to the network sites, and often watch some of our favorite channels. From my understanding Disney just came out with an app to let you watch their shows on your Apple products. I … [Read more...]
