| Tax Rebates Are a Losing Proposition Part 1 (2008-05-12) |

Tax Rebates Are a Losing Proposition Part 1 (2008-05-12)
by David John Marotta
Beginning this month until July, the government will issue over $100 billion in tax-stimulus checks, the equivalent of about 1% of annual consumer spending and some 70% of the country's $14 trillion gross domestic product (GDP). The assumption is that we can spend our way out of a recession by boosting third-quarter GDP growth over 4%.

I called Bank of America and asked the requirements of them paying my minimum payment balance. Since I'm enrolled in a credit protection plan which isn't much like 0.99 for every $100's I use. If I get a 3.6 GPA or higher, they pay 3 months of your minimum payment which is $15.00 for me. And currently I may be able to hit 3.9 this semester so if all works out, that's $45 bucks free for basically doing well in school!
Suppose I use around $100 per month and they incur 99cents for every $100's that is spent on my credit card. That's $11.8... |

Today I went to sprint to get the account in my name instead of my dads.
They wanted $150  to transfer the account, I told them sorry and have a nice day.
Is there any other way I can build credit without getting a credit card?
Thx

| Bad Credit Cash Advance Loans |

If you are in need of extra cash until pay day, you may want to consider applying for a pay day or check loan online. A pay day loan can be obtained online and with no credit check. Bad credit will not disqualify you from qualifying for a pay day loan. You can use the money for what ever purpose necessary and the money can often be deposited into your checking account the very same day you apply. All you need is a checking account, and a steady source of income and you can get up to 1000 dollars or more deposited directly into your checking acc... |

Subprime Lending (2008-05-05)
by David John Marotta
The subprime mortgage meltdown has cost the world 15% of its market capitalization, about $9 trillion. The primary culprit who caused all of this financial loss, pain and suffering is not the mortgage companies. Neither is it the overextended borrowers. It is our own federal regulations interfering with the free market.

| Earning supplemental income |
| posted by: angleparked @ Tue May 06, 2008 7:38 am |
Hi! I'm a newbie with a hypothetical situation:
Joe needs to generate some income to supplement what he already has. He has around $250K in mutual funds (not retirement) picked for a long-term gain if left alone. But Joe needs to bring in an extra $1000 to $2000 without spending down the $250K. He foresees needing this for at least a year, possibly two at the outset.
Joe is busy with his job, so he wants to make the money work for him, if at all possible. Yet, he'd do some extra side work if it was a good trade-off for his time. A... |

| Investing with after tax dollars |
| posted by: das5293 @ Fri May 02, 2008 9:22 pm |

If you have extra monies available to invest after maxing out your 401K, where would you place those funds? For example, do you contribute to your 401K with after tax dollars or do you start a non retirement account with those funds? What benefit would it be to have those funds in your 401K although it is not tax deferred status verus a non retirement account? I am unable to participate in the ROTH IRA due to the income limitations. Any help is appreciated. |
