Charge Cards. Take Note


 

Does the charge card work for you or do you work for your charge card many people’s reply to that enquiry will depend upon how they care for their “old plastic” as charge cards are known.

For a lot of people with burned fingers will say to you they did not recognize that matters had become so foul till really late in the process, because most charge card offers try a great deal to sound like they are really executing a charity. Well, they are not! However realize that this is not a hatred campaign against charge cards.

For certain they have their Advantages - in the United States of America if you wish to rent a car, you have to have a (major) charge card.

Just, think about this scenario:

You get an offer in your postal service that sounds good; perhaps it’s a new generation television set or an electric refrigerator. However it costs $2000. Oh, but you have a charge card with a $5000 limit, and you at once buy your product. Commonly, here is how your repayment schedule will run down. Many charge cards charge a lower limit of total balance (commonly two percent) of the total per month. Presuming the rate of interest is eighteen percent and you decide to pay back the minimum amount of forty dollars, thirty dollars of that will go toward interest and only ten percent toward the principle balance. As a consequence, you will take thirty years to pay back and end up compensating the company over $5000 interest.

Appears very scary but it doesn’t have to be. The lesson of the example is:

Utilize the charge card the same way people handle skunks; very, very cautiously.

Have You Ever Encountered Yourself?

Actor James Baldwin once said, “I have encountered a lot of people in Europe, I have even encountered myself” It begs the question, have you encountered yourself? To encounter means to meet by surprise or unexpectedly, amongst other meanings. When was the last time you experienced that type of surprise meeting with yourself?  Have you been in a situation where you found out you liked something you didn’t think you would enjoy?  Maybe tried a new food, or a new sport. Maybe started a new hobby?  When this happens without you orchestrating the situation you are encountering yourself. Many people stay in their comfort zones, and rarely find themselves in a situation where they are challenged by encountering themselves in an unexpected or surprising ways.  As a personal challenge take time to do something different today. Take a walk on the beach or through the forest and use your senses to experience the sights, smells and tastes around you. Walk slowly and keep a journ...

How to Be a Friend to Your Friends

  What does being a friend mean to you? Does it just mean having some company for your nights out and for those movies and a few pairs of ears to listen to when you want to talk something? Or does it just mean having someone to help you when you need some money or some other kind of favor?   Most times, people say that they don’t have friends that they count on. If you think so as well, maybe you need to look within yourself first.   Friendship is highly relative. You have to be a good friend to people first.
