Cutting Down My Mortgage Debt

July 23rd, 2010 . by admin

One day I called my best friend to ask if she wanted to come over, and received the brush off. She told me that she was too busy cutting down the amount she owes on her mortgage payments. I thought she had lost her mind until she told me that she was applying for a FHA short refinance. My mom used one of these, and they reduced her home loan principal by twenty thousand dollars. She saved that money plus thousands more that she would have paid on interest charges. I told my friend that she was making the right decision, and to call me when she was done.

Too Much Shopping

February 25th, 2010 . by admin

My daughter is currently looking for debt consolidation help. She is a shopaholic and has run up thirty thousand dollars in credit card debt. Two months ago she lost her job and she is in deep trouble. Her unemployment barely covers her rent and she is eating with us three or four times a week as she can’t afford to buy groceries. It will be another six months before she can get out of her lease and we can’t afford to help her with money right now. Hopefully the debt consolidation agency can help her get out of this mess. If not, she may have to live with us forever in order to pay this debt off.

Mouth Gards

August 12th, 2009 . by admin

My son is into all types of sports, his latest being boxing,  Over the past five years or so we have probably spent nearly ten thousand dollars in dental work on him to get his teeth looking perfect.  They do look so perfect he could be a model.  So of course as a mother, I can just see his teeth getting knocked out in the boxing ring.  I have been searching the Internet high and low for the best, and I mean the best mouth protector.  There are a variety of companies that sell boxing equipment, but I do think that I have found the best with Zoout.

Great Views From Ormond Beach

September 13th, 2008 . by admin

Are you looking for a great piece of Florida real estate that isn’t dominated by tall buildings which obstruct the beautiful natural views? If you are, then Ormond Beach might be worth a look.

With a maximum allowable building height at a mere seven stories, the skyline from a piece of Ormond Beach Real Estate is unobstructed. And believe me, it is quite a view. Without highrises littering the field of view, you can get a breathtaking glimpse of the beach skyline.

This impressive scenery does come at a price, however, and the average cost for a piece of Ormond real estate is about 50 thousand dollars more than at nearby Daytona Beach. But all in all, the increase in price is easily worth it.

Watercolor Paintings For Sale at the Local Art Gallery

June 7th, 2008 . by admin

When I was in high school, I had a part-time job at the local art gallery.  Sometimes I gave tours to schoolchildren, but usually I worked in the gallery’s gift shop.  It was a pretty interesting job, because I like art, and so I enjoyed seeing what was being sold.  What I still remember is the watercolor paintings for sale at the gallery; often they sold for several hundred dollars.  A few even sold for over a thousand dollars!  It’s incredible – and rather inspiring – to think that a person can potentially earn a living doing something that her or she truly loves.

Minnesota vacation rentals are expensive

February 15th, 2008 . by admin

I was looking through my wish book the other day and came across some Minnesota vacation rentals. The one I really liked was on a large lake that crossed the border into Canada. The rental fee for the first week of walleye season was almost a thousand dollars. Don’t get me wrong, it’s probably worth every penny of the price, I just don’t have that kind of money to throw around right now. That’s why it is in my wish book and not my things to do in the coming months book. That book only contains a few trips to a local lake where I can take my tent and camp.
