Credit Cards and Bailouts
I wish we were getting another stimulus check like last year. I’ve racked up a little consumer credit card debt, and I’d like to apply some of those funds to the balance. That’s not going to happen though, and so I must resign myself to the fact that I’ll be in the same position as [...]
Alternative Mail Solutions
I like getting mail. One of my joys is checking the mailbox when I arrive home to see what we received. Mostly it’s junk mail, but occassionally something good comes, and then my heart leaps.
I also like to promote environmental causes, and look for ways to save the environment.
I recently found Zumbox.com, which boasts to [...]

Somebody tell me, is it three officers dead or four officers wounded in CA. every news outlet has a different number. #
Looks like we’re going to start buying more bad debt. I’m sick of these guys spending out tax dollars to help keep everyone in a $500k home. #

I’m Insured, Are You?
I believe the biggest shock (or maybe the 2nd biggest) for me when I got married was the cost of paying for my own stuff. Mom and dad pretty much helped with the car insurance, groceries, and car payment before marriage, but afterward, I was stuck on my own. Suddenly it was that "responsibility" thing [...]
Your Credit Score
ABC News has a great article about how credit scores are calculated. Once someone starts getting back on track with their debt, the typical first question is what’s my credit score. Many people don’t know the credit score process, and a surprisingly fewer number of people know that you can receive your credit report annually [...]

Over My Dead Body!!
There’s an interesting article over at this blog (here’s a page from The New York Times) discussing whether creditors have a right ask for payments on debts owed by a deceased relative. The general consensus is, and should be, no. The exception is if a spouse or other person co-signs (guarantees) a loan or debt, [...]

I have a dislike for Prius owners who think they’re better than everyone because they own the car. #

Tort Reform (Negative) 2.0
It seems like every time the economy goes bad, or every time there’s a new Congress or legislature, there’s also heavy talk of "tort reform."
Generally, Republicans favor tort reform because it "benefits businesses", while Democrats dislike the idea because you’re permitting bad products/people. I’ve never really understood this, because both sides seem to be [...]
