Auto Insurance

February 4th, 2010 No comments

So , the other day I had to renew my auto insurance policy , which was with progressive insurance (Yes, I know many people absolutely hate them).

Anyways, what was most interesting was I got online to play with their quote calculator, and see if I could skim anything out of the policy to make it cheaper. So , I tried increasing the deductible by $500 to $1,000……….yeah , it dropped it alright, a whole $25 per freaking year! Then I thought to myself “Hey , the truck is stick shift, my wife will never drive it!” so I tried taking her off, and guess what? It went up by $200 per year!

It’s scary how much a requirement like auto insurance costs, sickening almost.

Sunglasses

February 4th, 2010 No comments

The other day , while shopping for wholesale sunglasses I was amazed to find there weren’t a whole lot of places that sold sunglasses I was interested in.

No , not the lil Wayne Stunna shades, nor the big dollar sign shades, I’m talking about the big, ugly 1980s-esque trucker sunglasses that we had a whole drawer full of when I was a little kid. I was upset to find out that ebay was one of the few places that had them, and they cost me an amazing amount of money. Never the less, I can now drive down the road in style, with my ugly trucker sunglasses and live days gone by………IN STYLE!

Work from home stuffing envelopes?

January 13th, 2010 No comments

One question that I’ve got more than a few times has been about working from home stuffing envelopes.

I know for me , I’ve seen this type of add in quite a few magazines, one in particular was popular mechanics, which I think has had that stuffing envelope ad in it since the mid 70s.

I’ll cut to the chase about these so called “Get Paid To Stuff Envelope” jobs that appear in these magazines………They don’t work well at all.

Normally you send a letter to a company, or request “Free” information from them ,which ends up being a series of letters/postcards from their company, about how you need to buy their informational packet to get started, anywhere from $15-$45 dollars. It wouldn’t be so bad of a fee, if it really did work.

However, once you get the packet , you’ll soon find out that it’s significantly more difficult than they lead you to believe.

Most of the envelope stuffing jobs end up being something along the lines of a multi-level marketing scheme , or a “Dollar Gifting” type of program. You write letters and send them to people you know, asking for $20 to $40 , in return you tell them you’ll show them how to make money stuffing envelopes. You then send them the same type of letter you got from the ad , making it a on-going chain of paying someone money who then tries to get money from someone else.

If you think about it, why would any company require someone to stuff envelopes? I know growing up as a kid , on various PBS shows, they showed mail facilities 30 years ago that all had automatic stuffing machines , as well as computers that did all of that. It should throw up a red flag immediately, now, don’t get me wrong, there are a handful of companies that do hand-stuff envelopes for companies that have maybe checks, and the like, but they pay hourly, and just hire people to do it (They don’t recruit from magazines).

So , in the end, all these envelope stuffing things become is a endless chain of getting other people to do the same thing you were convinced to do.

So , the question comes up – is there anything similar to this that is easy to do, and would make money?

Absolutely, sign up to the email list below and get tons of FREE tips on how to make money from home. Many of these ideas are absolutely no cost, and many involve very low cost ideas.

I need money today – HELP!

January 13th, 2010 No comments

Most of us, at one time or another , we just might find ourselves at times in a VERY urgent need of income, and with
seemingly few methods available to us to pay a insurance premium.

Therefore, I’ve done my best to compiled a quick, short listing with a few effective ideas to create money
ASAP with the quickest method.

Some may scoff , gawk or laugh at this list , but for those of you who seriously
need money, these options might just work.

#1 – Sell Your Stuff.

Yeah, I know , for some, this might be impossible, but it’s the first reasonable option for times
when you need money IMMEDIATELY.

Some people resort to taking a trip to the local pawn shop and selling their stuff first, in the idea that they can buy them backwhen times get better. However, this is not the most effective thing to do. Pawn shops
realize you’re desperate, and use that to their advantage, paying out extremely low
payouts for your posessions. The better choice is using craigslist.com, buyers there do not know
your emergency need of money nor do they care ,and are willing to offer more in almost every case as compared
to what local pawnshops might. Another note about pawn brokers is that they in most cases will only offer youaround a third of what they feel they can re-sell it for.

I would highly reccomend that you consider a few things when going through your stuff : Is the item a need or a want?
Would your life be really hurt without it? Selling a playstation is much more different
then selling your car, one is almost a necessity , the other one is for amusement.

#2 – Blood
I know selling blood over recent years has become taboo, and that’s understandable, however in recent years, many places have been offering more and more for people who are willing to sell blood and plasma
sometimes up to $200 just for one pint. If you can do this severao times a week, that’s
a extra $800 you could be earning in just a few hours of work a week.

#3 – Quick jobs on craigslist
There are dozens of opportunities that all of us can do to make a little money on the side in just a few hours, these
things might not be as quick as going to a blood bank and selling your plasma, but they can pay just as well,
and potentially lead to part time employment. Many people post ads on craigslist asking for household
chores like cleaning , making food and the like. You could easily make $100 a day by helping someone around their home.

#4 – Writing for online magazines.

There are many companies like associated content who are willing to pay $5 to $15 for a
short story of content on a specific topic. If you’re good at writing , this may be
a very good source of income, as some of these writing assignments may only take 15
minutes to complete, and at the payout of $15 per article, that’s about $60 per hour.
Be careful though, because sometimes this may take a while for your account to be
approved.

Further more, if you are a decent writer, we do want to make a mention that we have a
system that’s proven to make money online. Now, I’m not going to tell you that you
can make money today, however it is quite possible to make several hundred dollars
every day if you work on it. Please take a look and consider our low-cost coaching
program that would enable you to make money online.

I need money NOW

January 13th, 2010 No comments

For many of us , we can find ourselves at times in VERY urgent need of money, and with
very few options available to us to pay immediate bills.

Therefore, I’ve compile a somewhat short list with a few effective ideas to make money
ASAP with the shortest effort.

Some of you may scoff , gawk or laugh at this list , but for those of you who seriously
need money, these options might just work.

#1 – Sell stuff.

Yeah, I know , this may not be a option, but it’s the first line of defense for times
when you need money NOW.

Some people resort to pawning posessions first, in hopes that they can buy them back
when times get better. However, this is not the most effective thing to do. Pawn shops
realize you’re desperate, and use that to their advantage, paying out relatively low
payouts for your items. Consider using craigslist instead, buyers there do not know
your personal situation ,and are willing to offer more in almost every case as compared
to what local pawnshops might.

Consider a few things when going through your stuff : Is the item a need or a want?
Would your life be really worse without it? Selling a playstation is much more different
then selling your car, one is almost a necessity , the other one is for entertainment.

#2 – Blood

It’s sort of a cliche thing to think about selling blood, and that’s true, however over
time, many places have been offering more and more for people who donate blood or plasma
sometimes as much as $200 just for one donation. If you can do this 4 times a week, that’s
a extra $800.

#3 – Craigslist services

There are many things that all of us can do to make a little money on the side, these
things might not be as quick as selling a pint of blood, but they can pay just as well,
and lead to further employment. Many people post ads on craigslist asking for household
chores like cleaning , making food and the like. You could easily make $10-$15 per hour
by helping the elderly or disabled around their house.

#4 – Writing for online magazines.

There are many companies like associated content who are willing to pay $5 to $15 for a
short article of content on a specific topic. If you’re good at writing , this may be
a very good source of income, as some of these writing assignments may only take 15

Be careful with your IOUs

November 16th, 2009 No comments

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Californians have fewer places to redeem IOUs issued by the cash-strapped state.

At least three major banks, Wells Fargo (WFC, Fortune 500), JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) and Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), stopped accepting the IOUs after Friday.

More than 60 credit unions, however, continue to accept the paper.

State Controller John Chiang started issuing the IOUs on July 2 to conserve cash, while lawmakers and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger tussle over closing a $26 billion budget gap. Friday also marked the start of a mandatory third furlough day for most state employees.

The state, the world’s eighth largest economy, has issued more than 90,000 IOUs worth nearly $355 million. Also called registered warrants, the IOUs pay an interest rate of 3.75% and can be redeemed on Oct. 2 or earlier if divided state officials reach a budget deal.

Recipients will include state contractors, social service agencies and those owed income tax refunds.

Banks will work with customers on an individual basis to assist them, perhaps offering them home equity lines or short-term loans, said Beth Mills, spokeswoman for the California Bankers Association. But the institutions are also hoping to send a message to Sacramento.

“What’s ultimately in the best interest of everyone will be for the state to act quickly and resolve the budget impasse,” she said.

Bank of America’s decision stems from its experience in 1992, the last time the state issued IOUs amid a financial crisis. The bank, along with Wells Fargo, were among the first to stop accepting the IOUs. A budget was signed about a month later.

“The longer the registered warrants were accepted, the longer it took the legislature to resolve the matter,” said Britney Sheehan, a Bank of America spokeswoman. “We do not want our acceptance of registered warrants to deter the state from reaching a budget agreement as soon as possible.”

Customers at participating credit unions can continue to redeem the IOUs. The institutions are bracing for a crush of people looking to turn the warrants into cash.
0:00 /2:26States face budget disasters

“There are options,” said Daniel Penrod, senior industry analyst at the California Credit Union League. “If people look for those options, they’ll realize they are not stuck past the July 10 deadline.”
IOUs to be regulated

Some people actually want to get their hands on the registered warrants, posting ads on online marketplaces such as Craigslist. Several postings offer to buy the paper for 85 cents on the dollar, while another listing is looking to sell the IOUs for 95 cents.

This practice, however, has heightened fears that desperate IOU holders might be taken advantage of and that counterfeiters might make copies of the warrants.

State Treasurer Bill Lockyer last week said that warrant buyers must obtain a notarized bill of sale from the recipient when purchasing the IOUs. This will help ensure that the person redeeming the IOUs is the legitimate owner, said Bill Dresslar, Lockyer’s spokesman.

The Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday said that the IOUs are securities and are subject to federal anti-fraud provisions. The agency also issued an investor alert warning both buyers and sellers to be careful when trading the warrants.

“If you hold an IOU and wish to sell it prior to maturity you should consider whether you think you are getting a fair price,” the alert said. Investors who wish to buy IOUs should also understand who the seller is. If you are buying from a third party, ask if the person is registered to do this business.

The SEC’s action has both positive and negative impacts on IOU recipients, experts said.

It should cut down on scams because the warrants would have to be traded through registered brokers, said Joseph Fichera, who heads Saber Partners, a financial consulting firm for governments and corporations. Sellers would have to provide disclosure and make sure they are marketing the products properly.

This, however, would also make it harder to offload the IOUs, which could frustrate recipients in need of cash.

“The SEC is trying to provide some sort of framework for investor protection in the middle of uncharted territory,” Fichera said.

CA IOU news

November 16th, 2009 No comments

A group of the biggest U.S. banks said they would stop accepting California’s IOUs on Friday, adding pressure on the state to close its $26.3 billion annual budget gap.
[Dorothy Cottrill of the state controller's office inspects IOUs last week.] Associated Press

Dorothy Cottrill of the state controller’s office inspects IOUs last week.

The development is the latest twist in California’s struggle to deal with the effects of the recession. After state leaders failed to agree on budget solutions last week, California began issuing IOUs — or “individual registered warrants” — to hundreds of thousands of creditors. State Controller John Chiang said that without IOUs, California would run out of cash by July’s end.

But now, if California continues to issue the IOUs, creditors will be forced to hold on to them until they mature on Oct. 2, or find other banks to honor them. When the IOUs mature, holders will be paid back directly by the state at an annual 3.75% interest rate. Some banks might also work with creditors to come up with an interim solution, such as extending them a line of credit, said Beth Mills, a California Bankers Association spokeswoman.

Meanwhile, on Monday morning, a budget meeting between Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders failed to produce a result. Amid the budget deadlock, Fitch Ratings on Monday dropped California’s bond rating to BBB, down from A minus, the latest in a series of ratings downgrades for the state.

The group of banks included Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., among others. The banks had previously committed to accepting state IOUs as payment. California plans to issue more than $3 billion of IOUs in July.

Ms. Mills of the CBA said some banks were concerned that there aren’t processes in place to accept IOUs, and also worried about fraud issues. She noted that not all banks have set a July 10 deadline, and that dozens of credit unions in the state will keep accepting IOUs.

Wells Fargo’s head of community banking, Lisa Stevens, said: “We’re very disappointed, as are many Californians, that California has taken the unfortunate step of issuing IOUs in lieu of payments to some businesses and individuals.”

State officials said they were disappointed by the banks’ decision. Garin Casaleggio, a spokesman for Mr. Chiang, said: “We don’t want anybody to suffer who can’t redeem them when they need cash.”
