Can the internet help you save money?

  • Mood:
I found this blog that asks can the internet save you money and I started looking for ideas myself.

There are all sorts of money saving tips online but how do you know which tips are really good ideas.

I know a lot of people who don't like to get tax refunds. They always tell me they take home as much money as they can. Then they struggle to pay their taxes every April.

I think you should have as much money held back as possible. That way you get a nice refund. When people tell me I could invest that money instead, I ask them if THEY invest the money instead. No one has ever said yes so I think it's a bad idea to wait until April to pay last year's taxes.

And I am back

  • Mood:
I really have little time for the Internet but I thought I would try to update my blog more often and see how that goes.

This summer my family took a trip to Yellowstone National Park.  We had fun walking through the hot springs and geysers and we saw many animals.  I almost got to see a big beautiful elk up close but some stupid selfish people got out of their car and stopped traffic so that most of us could not see the elk up close.

The recession has really hurt a lot of people.  It has been hard to find a job and I don't think I will find one before next year.  Thank goodness I still live at home because I don't know what I would do if I had to support myself!

Well that is all I can think of to say today.  I'll be back tomorrow!

President Obama cheats credit card consumers!

  • Mood: MAD
I am so mad I could spit!  I voted for President Obama and he let me down!  Just when I thought we would get a break from the credit card interest rate hikes I learned the new law won't help!

I am talking about this law that the House just approved. It's called the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights but it doesn't go into effect until next year.

But what about THIS YEAR?  What am I supposed to do when my credit card interest rate goes up 20 points in a couple of weeks?  I didn't sign on for that.

And I am told that if I close the credit card account I still have to pay the bill but it hurts my credit score!  This is so totally unfair to me and to every other credit card using consumer!

Why do these banks get to increase interest rates and the government bails them out?  What is President Obama doing in Washington, smoking crack?

J.P. Morgan and Citibank and Capital One all own the President.  He was supposed to tell them to not raise the interest rates.  What good does this stupid law do us if the banks get away with tripling our interest rates for no reason?
