Would you like to own a home some day?  Buy a car?  Rent an apartment?  Have you had difficulties obtaining these things, or others, due to bad credit?  Well, there is hope!  You can repair your credit… yourself!

“Bad Credit?  NO Problem!” offers are available everywhere, but unless you take steps to keep your credit rating on the right path, you run the risk of costing yourself money… the very thing you can least afford!  High interest rates (like with those “Bad Credit?  NO Problem!” offers) cost YOU.

Suppose you wanted to buy a $20,000.00 car and pay it out over 48 months.  With good credit, they may be offering a 6.5% interest rate (sometimes much less!), meaning you’d pay approximately $2700.00 in interest over the life of the loan.  *However*, with bad credit, they may offer you an 11% interest rate (sometimes MUCH higher!), meaning you’d pay approximately $4800.00 in interest over the life of the loan!  That’s a big difference!

For those with bad credit ratings: DO NOT FEEL ALONE: In 2005, approximately 2 million households filed for bankruptcy, so a lot of us have been in your shoes.  There are many reasons why you may find yourself in this situation – divorce, medical bills, lost job, the “ignorance of youth”, etc.

Yes, I’ve done it again...I’ve changed the software for this site.  Hopefully, for the last time smile

The good news?

FORUMS!  Yes, we have forums!  Yay!!  Woohoo!!!  I think..hope...that it will be easier for people to post and get information through a forum format than through the previous comment system that we were using.

Slight design change!  Basic setup remains the same, but put in a few new things and changed a couple of old and hopefully it improves functionality and makes things easier to read also.

FORUMS!  Did I mention we have forums?  Yay smile

For Me:  Less spam!  Woohoo!!!  Part of my delay in responding to comments has been the excessive amount of comment spam that this site was receiving.  (Invisible to you, because I was madly deleting it constantly.) The new software should make that almost non-existent.  You will need to sign up to leave a comment or to post in the forums, but never fear, your information will never be used/sold by this site. (See our Privacy Policy.)

And ...FORUMS!  I’m excited about the new forums smile Can you tell? smile

New Canadian Information Category!  Our Canadian friends will be able to view all Canadian-related information in one area!  Yay!!!

FORUMS!  ....ok, I think you get the message smile

You know you’re in trouble when you turn on the cold water faucet and what comes out is hot water for the first three or four minutes.  Its supposed to be 102F here today.  That’s pretty hot. And I have two cats. Complete with fur. How do they stay cool in the summer? We always hear how someone left a dog in a car and they had a heat stroke but what about our cats?

What do beans and left over salad have in common? Both can be tossed into a burrito for a cheap, filling meal. 

Plasma donation. I does it.

Saving money as a single can be difficult. You’d think it wouldn’t be, since there is only one of you, but cooking for one can be more expensive and time intensive. And when you’re busy and tired you don’t want to spare that extra time. You end up living on prepared foods and take out. After all, who wants to cook for one? So how to save money in the biggest money waster: food?

There’s snow on the mountain tops where I live already. Its getting too cold to wear sandals and I need a sweater. The dark will soon do me in. Its winter and these are all normal things, and for me and many people like me, so is the depression that will set in soon. The winter blues.
