Show Me The Money!

With the holiday season done and over with a lot of us are just now getting and seeing our credit card bills and freaking out seeing how much money we are now responsible for and need to get paid off as soon as possible. The interest rates on my credit cards are eating me up alive, it is too bad that Obama hasn’t done much in an effort to make our credit card issues a top priority. Most of us are only keeping our head above water by using our credit cards to pay for today’s necessities and are just getting deeper and deeper into debt by doing so.

What really irks me is that a lot of credit card companies are not allowing us to use our other credit cards (VISA, MC, Discover, American Express) to make our monthly payments, they want to be able to suck the money out of our checking account or bring cash to one of their payment centers, which of course are usually not local. So many of us are recently turning to these emerbency cash loans and payday loans, they can be a life saver if used wisely, unfortunately life gets in the way and “stuff” happens and we are always in need for some cash for some reason or another.

Oh to be back in the days when bartering and trading were the main way to get what we need in our daily lives. I am glad to see that a lot of bartering is once again going on these days due to the economy being in such a state that people are trying any and every thing available to them in order to survive until our government can get us out of this mess that we have gotten ourselves into this past decade. Bartering works well for every one involved and it keeps Uncle Sam at bay in the mean time, which is all good, wouldn’t you say?

I have some home improvements that I’m starting to look into for when the weather breaks. If my income tax refund isn’t all what I expect it to be I just might be looking for an emergency cash loan to tide me over. What ever it takes to get her done without costing me an arm and a leg in the process is all good.

Know What This Is!

I’m a strong supporter of pro-choice. I’m all about a woman having the last word on what goes on with her body. This short email was sent to me by one of my pro choice lady friends. It cracked me up and I had to share it here, hopefully to put a grin on some one’s face today and to help spread the word.

Good lord, we all need a good laugh or a grin each day. God Bless.

A Light At The End of This Dark Tunnel

Not too long ago I was having dinner and drinks with a co worker that has been dabbling in Online Trading and doing quite well with it at that point. It was refreshing to hear a good, positive story during these struggling economic times that we all are finding ourselves in these past few years. Unfortunately, these stories are few and far between and I wish that we could hear more of them or at least see some type of light at the end of this dark and lonely tunnel.

I just got a Christmas card in the mail yesterday from this fellow and he is still doing well and urging me to take advantage of the Online Broker that he is doing business with at Firstrade.com. They are offering a $50 refer a friend deal which is always a nice plus at this time of year, not that he needs the fifty bucks at this point, but $50 is $50 non the less!

Stock Trading isn’t something that I have a lot of experience or background on, so I think that I’ll be touching base with him after the holidays are all over and done with and see what tricks and tips he has for me and then I’ll see what I want to do from there. Who knows what might come of it, but I’m willing to give it a try.

Gene Simmons, God Bless America

Gene Simmons just keeps on trucking these days. His show “Family Jewels” on the A & E channel always cracks me up. His girl friend is one good looking lady, sweet eye candy. I saw this video on his show last year and enoyed it and was glad to find it on You Tube.

The Ultimate Spy Thriller by Robert Ludlum

I do enjoy reading a good book. I just finished reading one by Robert Ludlum, entitled Prometheus Deception and was pleasantly surprised with it. It was like watching a James Bond film, a real international spy thriller that was fast paced and full of action. A dead on picture of contemporary corporate strategy that I would encourage anyone to read.
