I don’t know whether to classify the following as a strange way to save money, make money, or spend money, but it is definitely strange so I’ll leave it at that.

I was out over the weekend with a friend trawling some yard sales. At one sale, the seller had a table set up with brand new items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, cleansers, cereal, shampoo, etc. still in their original packaging. I figured it was stuff she’d accumulated using coupons and by playing the drug store loyalty card games. It was all marked well below retail but at prices that would make her a nice profit if she had gotten the items for free or pennies.

This wasn’t the first time I’d seen this kind of thing at a yard sale. Reselling

Posted by Admin | No Comments

For those people who are not aware of what a mortgage is, it can be considered as an agreement between the customer and the bank. According to the terms and conditions of this agreement, if the loan is not paid back in time, the bank has got the authority to take over the property which has been mortgaged. Most of the people who have dreamed of their own home make use of loans to make their dream come true.

The duration in which the amount has to be paid back depends upon the loan options. Once you have taken a loan from the bank, you have given the bank the right to foreclosure once the customer has failed to make regular payments.

Many lenders offer both unsecured personal loans and asset-based secured loans. The most common collateral for the latter choice is a borrower’s home equity. For example, the Larkins currently have $45,000 of unsecured credit card debt. Altho

With the current real estate issues, properties can sit on the market for ages and fail to receive realistic offers. As a result, sellers become jaded and continue to lower the listed price without receiving much success. If the home you are trying to sell is at a standstill, what do you do?

First, it is essential that you understand that you should never take a ridiculously low offer because you feel desperate. Yes, there is a buyers’ market out there, but if your listed price is incredibly realistic then taking an offer significantly below your list price is not recommended.

Posted by Aaron Rawlings | No Comments

The Washington Post reported on a study that shows college graduates are the fastest-growing demographic of consumers filing for bankruptcy protection in the past five years. Degree holders have learned that in the current economy, anybody can be at financial risk. While low-income consumers without college degrees still make up the majority of bankruptcy petitioners, consumers with bachelors and masters degrees are increasingly joining their ranks.

How can a bankruptcy affect your credit score? It depends on what your credit score is to begin with. According to Consumer Affairs, if you have a 780 FICO score, your score could drop 240 points after filing. If you had a lower score, for example a 680, your score may drop only 150 points.
