I&#39;ve noticed some really stupid information in the media lately and decided to do a public service for everyone.


You know how people are talking about all the money they lost when the economy tanked? How they are going to lose their homes and everything?


*buzzer sounds* WRONG!





You cannot lose money you don&#39;t have. Really! Can you believe it? It&#39;s true. Let me explain.


Say I&#39;ve been working for XYZ Manufacturing for 15 years and have set aside $10,000 in a 401K. My... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ How secure is her job? Scare tactics tend to work. Point out that if she were to lose her job, she would be unable to pay her bills and because she is charging
so heavily to her credit cards, she wouldn&#39;t be able to use those as a temporary measure.
<br>
<br>
Then tell her that you are done warning her and if things go belly up, you will not be providing her with any money or assistance. ]]></description>

she has a problem spending money she doesn&#39;t have? ]]></description>

FINAL THOUGHTS
<br>
<br>
Some final tips before I go back into hiding.
<br>
<br>
1. Snowball your credit cards.
<br>
<br>
2. Pay close attention to any other those debt consolidator companies. What they do is tell you to pay them instead of your credit cards. The money you pay
them is supposed to go to the credit card company who will then negotiate with the consolidator for a better payment plan. However, all those companies are

<br>
Another thing I want to bring up: CREDIT CARDS.
<br>
<br>
Trust me when I tell you that I understand. I have been there, AM there. When I was in college, I had money for the bare necessities. Things like gas and
groceries were SPLURGES. I learned to get store credit cards, purchase things there, then use a main Visa card to make my monthly payments. Then every month I
just paid the Visa. Except... I only made minimum payments on the visa because I wanted my cash.... ]]></description>
