Talk radio

Friday, June 19th, 2009

satellite radio receiverTalk radio has captured my interest as of late. The long and tiring drive to work gets me to turn off the pop music stations that put me to sleep and search for some other distraction that will keep me awake. Maybe it’s the music business, maybe it’s just the bad taste of “Generation Y”, but most of the “now” music on the radio has gotten so boring, that I often end up listening to talk shows if I can’t find a good “oldies” station.

So many types of loans!

Friday, June 19th, 2009

With so many people struggling to make ends meet, more consumers are being deluged with offers and advertisements about different types of fast cash programs that can help them get through the tough times.  Some offers are simple cash advance loans, which are also called payday loans.  These are often used by people as a type of bad credit loan when they can’t get money any other way. 

I seem to see commercials on television about these types of loans a lot.  Along with car title loans, these loans scare the bejeezus out of me.  If the consumer isn’t really careful they could end up spending a huge amount of money on the repayments.  If you find yourself in a situation where you need to take this type of loan, please read the fine print really carefully!  Don’t just sign on the dotted line because you’re in a hurry to get the money!
