Give yourself a few weeks to save the amount you need so you can pay cash. You will feel better and have a similar shopping experience without the dread that using a credit card or spending money you didn’t have would bring afterwards.

I was up one night flipping through the channels and happened upon the Reality TV Show Cheaters? My heart went out to spouses who were intent on getting the goods and ending their suspicions of another lover. So when I read the finding of this new survey that said that 46 percent of people in committed relationships have committed financial infidelity it got me to thinking.

Negotiate Your Rate

Deborah Owens — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:46:29 +0000

Interests rates are at historic lows and this may be the perfect time to negotiate a lower rate on your credit cards and loans. Phone your credit card customer service department and ask a supervisor to lower your interest rate. If your request is denied get the name of the company president and the corporate office phone number,
and phone that person. When you phone, you will probably be transferred to a
high-ranking customer executive, at which point you can continue to lobby
for a better rate.

Don’t give up because perseverance can pay big time.
