Saving Money when buying a Car

Other than buying a home, buying a car is one the biggest purchases you will make in your life. It is a large investment and hopefully something that you will be using for several years. Car salesmen make a living off of talking you into spending more, so be careful when you step out onto the lot. Optimally, you will buy your car cash in hand. This is not the case for many car buyers, however. If you are one of the many who need to take out a loan to purchase a car, do so very carefully. Taking a loan can be a huge waste of money. If you are borrowing money from the dealership itself, do so with caution, as the dealership makes the most money from financing. Be sure to check out all of your options, getting quotes from local banks, credit unions, and even family members if possible. Borrow the lowest amount of money you can and find the lowest interest rate and the shortest term. One great way to save is to wait until the end of the model year to buy a new car. By the end of the year, dealerships are pushing to fill their quotas, so you can find great prices on new cars. Do not wait, though, until the end of the year to do your research. Used cars are also a great way to save thousands on a new vehicle. Certified used car programs are becoming more and more common, so buying used is becoming a more viable option.

Re: Is it worth buying a Dell computer with financing? - what you should know is that whenever you are buying any item and apying monthly you are definitely paying at least 50% more than if you buy it cash. I beleive on the long run it is worth buying the computer with finance if you are using it for business. My rules about buying things on credit is basically for business and nothing else.
Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Re: Buying Text Links - Can You Do It? - Hi, Google will not ignore the fact that you are buying/selling links. If they find out your website or network is heavily involved in buying links they can lower your PR and rankings organically. I guess the point I was trying to make (1) they do not say you technically can't (2) there are ways on buying links/sponsors/advertising legitimately around being noticed. What do others think? Jeff
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
