Credit Trouble


I'm not fond of credit cards. Most people who use them, have no idea how much trouble they can cause. I'm one of those people. However, I do believe in having one card for emergencies. And by emergencies I mean a real emergency, not that great little cocktail dress you found on sale on the clothing rack.

If you can't abide by that rule, then you probably shouldn't own any credit cards at all. I for one am closing out the one credit card account I do have open. My reason for this is that I've learned that charges for two different interests rates per a month.

I might consider another card to build up my credit again and use for emergencies, but right now it won't be happening.

If you're one of the smart ones who knows how to use a credit card wisely, a high limit credit card may be ideal for emergency use. The reason is, if you apply for a credit card that only has a credit limit of $200, it might not be enough if you need to pay a hospital bill or buy a plane ticket home when your car breaks down halfway across the united states.

The only downside to applying for a high limit credit card is the fact that it's a lot more money you'll need to pay back and you're bound to get stuck with a higher interest rate if you can't pay it off all at once. Credit can be such a hassle at times!

Cringing at Mortage Rates

When it comes to home loans aka: mortgage rates, most people cringe at the thought. Personally, I don't blame them. When we got our mortgage rate, we were lucky. It was right before the summer interest rates sky rocketed. So, I'm sure as far as home mortgages go, we have the lowest around here. I'm sure not everyone got as lucky as we did, however.

Know someone who might not have the lowest home loan, possible? You might have them check out ehomemortgages.com While not everyone may be able to lower they interest rate, it never hurts to check it out.

After the Holidays

While I love Christmas Shopping for other people, sometimes it's hard to stick to a budget. If that happens we tend to get low on cash when it comes to the winter bills. And I know I am not alone! If you're low on cash and need a little help until the next pay day, Payday loans can often be a big help.

Payday loan quotes offers pay day loans that can get you through your next paycheck. There's no credit check and you can see in advance how much your loan rate will be, without a commitment. Plus your loan can be approved in a matter of seconds. How cool is that?

Now, keep in mind... A pay day loan is paid back using your paycheck and it's generally paid back in the next week. It's not a long term loan, so if you're looking for something a little more flexible when it comes to payments, you might consider another type of loan.

If you're just looking for some quick cash and don't mind the higher interest rate or short term loan, then payday loans may be just what you're looking for!

Debt and Credit Cards

If you're trying to get out of debt like I am, many people will tell you to avoid credit cards. For the most part there is some truth to this. When you're trying to get out of debt, credit cards can be a big problem... especially if you love spending money. For some however, credit cards can be a blessing if they are used the right way.

Take Mint Credit Cards for instance. They offer no interest on balance transfers for 13 months. This can be helpful when you have other credit cards with high interest rates. You can transfer high interest cards to Mint Credit Card and pay off those balances in 13 months. After that the interest rate is at 14.9% for most consumers. Still not bad for a credit card rate.

Mint Credit Cards also offers a 24 hour customer service line and you can manage your account with them online. Less hassle! How cool is that!

If you have other high interest rate credit cards, you might want to give them a shot and see if this offer is right for you and apply for a credit card from them.
