I was walking through the mall with my girlfriend a few days ago and there were some people talking around with clipboards trying to get people to take surveys for market research. Normally we just keep walking, but they were offering ten bucks per person to watch a three minute long video and fill out a little questionnaire about it. The whole thing couldn’t have taken more than 5 minutes. Easy Money.
My office is offering additional term life insurance for a limited time for any employee that want’s to sign up for it. They said that they wont require any physical examination or anything to qualify and sign up for it. I’m thinking about going ahead and signing up for it. Theyre offering it at a very nice price and I don’t really want to pass it up.
If you want a good way to save money on your next trip to the supermarket or department store, then you really need to get yourself some online coupons. I’ve found it to be more convenient for me than keeping the bulk that I get in my Sunday’s newspaper. You won’t believe how many times I’ve had to tidy up my kitchen drawer. Too many coupons that I can’t keep up with!!!! And it’s rare that I use them all at the same time too. So I’ve embarked on online coupons which allow me to print on demand for want of a better word and I could not be a more happier man.
What’s more worst than a puppy following you around in your neighborhood looking for some play-time? A real estate agent trying to sell you on a property. So my fiance and I started looking around for a small house to purchase to eliminate all the running around after we get married. We’ve been to a few real estate agencies but have recently put the house purchase on hold on concentrate on getting some of the wedding details out of the way. There is this real estate agent that keeps calling us every single day with various leads you’ll think that he was depending on our sale to eat. I tried to tell him very nicely to give us a few weeks to think about things but he has other plans. Next time I can’t promise to be this nice. I’ve had just about enough of this bullying.
I got my tax refund in the mail today and I’ve gotta say that I was not thrilled about the money I received. I thought it could have been much more that’s why I’m looking closely at car donation for next year. I’ve been driving around in my red Ford Explorer for years. It’s really time that I upgrade to a nice ride. At least by doing this I would be eligible for a tax reduction and would be giving for a worthy cause as well. I’m actually looking into donating my vehicle to Car Angel (CarAngel.com). It’s a non-profit organization and all of the money they make from selling donated cars and other items is used to make various childrens videos.
Here is a clip from one of their childrens videos:
Everyone is doing some major shopping this holiday season and most people will almost certainly charge everything onto one or more credit cards. Anyone who uses a credit card knows that if you don’t get the balance paid off, you get some nasty finance charges. Depending on your interest rate, those finanace charges can really add up. There is a simple way to temporarily avoid finance charges if you can’t afford to pay off your balance as soon as you had hoped.
Go to the store and buy a money order for the full balance (assuming the balance isn’t something like ten grand). Instead of paying for the money order with cash or writing a check, just charge the money order with the same credit card that the money order is going to pay off. This will get the balance paid off, and then re-add the balance right back to the credit card, leaving you with a paid-in-full statement and no finance charges. This comes in pretty handy if you don’t have a ridiculously huge balance and it allows you to save and put money back until you can really afford to pay the balance off.
Commercials for WaMu checking accounts have been on television for a while now. I’ve always wondered if they offered free checking accounts in my area but I never really looked into it. I finally looked on their website and they do offer free checking accounts here. They only require $1.00 minimum to open an account, so I’m going to open a free checking account with them sometime this coming week. They have alot of features that my current bank doesnt have, such as free checks and outgoing wire transfers.
A friend of mine from work has been talking about signing up for a new life insurance policy. He found a company that offers life insurance no medical exam required. He thought they would charge an arm and a leg for the policy, but he actually got a great deal on it. He wrote down their information and told me that I should check them out. I’m going to talk with my girlfriend and see what she thinks.
About a week ago I mentioned wanting to invest into some real estate. Well, I talked to my girlfriend’s father and he and I are going to be starting our own little real estate project. I’m pretty good with my hands so I can fix houses up that need it and he’s got money so he can easily buy some properties so we can fix them up and sell them. I won’t be making as much as him from the start since he’s going to be staking me at first. Once i can afford to go in half and half with him we will both be making some nice money.
Lately I’ve been thinking about investing some money into Arizona real estate. My girlfriend’s father dabbles in real estate and makes quite a bit of money doing it. He even offered to stake me the cash if I wanted to get into it. I should have taken him up on it. Who knows how much money I could have made by now.
