I had previously reported about True Credit by Transunion and how great I thought the service was. There is even a way to get the service via Walmart for a reduced fee.
As any reader of this blog knows, I am passionate about credit and my credit reports and score. I find the system [...]
Okay, everyone has heard before that you should pay more than the minimum payment on your credit cards when you are carrying a balance. This makes sense because you will be paying less interest next month and so on and so on. However, it is not so clear when you are doing 0% balance transfer [...]
My interest in real estate is based on the desire to obtain a portfolio of properties. I had always thought, however, that it would be worthwhile if I were to buy just one home and save my commission. Here are the calculations to determine if it is worth it. I calculate a [...]
I have finally broken my girlfriend down and she is going to open her first savings account. She asked me where she should deposit the money. I told her ELOAN.COM (read my review on them). This is where I keep my saving and I told her I would help her do it.
The [...]

People with average to good credit often get unsolicited offers from credit cards with 0% balance transfers. These offers are for both cards they don’t have and sometimes for cards [...]
I just had a real estate deal that recently fell through to my dismay. However, I would not even have been able to offer on it if it was not for my 0% credit cards. This deal was for a bank owned foreclosure. It did not have a certificate of occupany [...]
I previously wrote about how to profit off credit card by earning rewards. The post will be about how to bonus with 0% purchases.

The first strategy to profit from credit cards [...]
I ran into this on the website for The Hartford, the insurance company. I used to do consulting for them a while ago and was impressed with different aspects of their business.
Anyway, I wish I had read something like this when I was 17 or 18. They have a free guide for download [...]
I have been using SoGo Invest for about a month now. I joined on February 28th when the market took its biggest dip in a few years. SoGo Invest is great with the first 90 days having all trades at 1 dollar. When that time has expired you are charged [...]
HSBC recently ran a promotion where they were paying 6 % interest on money deposited until the end of April. It is then supposed to go back to their standard rate (around 5%). I have read about a lot of people using them and I thought I would try them out to see [...]
I have mentioned it previously that I am working on getting a free LCD TV. I have made it a project where I am only going to use rewards and interest made from credit cards. This is making it a creative effort with a reward and will not hurt my budget.
