Debt Help, Money Management Techniques

Many people have a difficult time admitting they need help with their debt. Most of us have been raised to pay our bills, monthly. Some see alternatives as a sign of failure or weakness. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Did you know that according to the Federal Reserve’s Consumer Credit Report , Americans have over $2.5 Trillion ( yes, that is Trillion with a “T” ) of outstanding debt.

While that number may sound incredibility high, it is most accurate. I talk to over 100 people a day who are in dire straits with their unsecured debt. Many are at their wits end and just want this nightmare to go away. Some people know that they need help but just can’t surrender. Denial is not just a river in Egypt! Struggling is not living. Not being able to answer your phone because of harassing creditor calls is not living. Making minimum monthly payments and not seeing your balance go down is not living.

How do I know that I need help with my debt? Here are 25 symptoms.

You routinely get cash advances or use payday loans
You live paycheck-to-paycheck
25 percent of your monthly income goes toward credit card bills
You have three or more credit cards
You ask friends and family for money to cover credit card debt
You lease because you cannot find financing to buy
You've taken a second job just to repay credit card debt
You pawn personal items because you desperately need cash
You have made three late payments in the last 12 months
You have seriously considered bankruptcy
You increase credit limits on already maxed-out credit cards
You depend on the time before a check clears to obtain the necessary funds
You depend on credit cards to purchase items like gas, groceries, and clothing
You routinely get cash advances or use payday loans
You live paycheck-to-paycheck

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: Bad SEO techniques? - There are few more techniques which also known as the Bad SEO Techniques or Black Hat SEO Techniques. Such as: - Relying on keyword metatags - Purchase Links (From Spamming or blacklisted sites or doing purchase links on high level for site marketing) - Horde Page Rank: This is one of my favorites, because it's one that most webmasters don't understand yet. This is because it changed over the past year or two. The concept people have in their mind is that page rank is a key part of site rankings and linking to other sites "leaks page rank" from your site. However, the world has changed. - Swap Links: Another oldie, but not goodie. Search engines want links to represent endorsements. Swapped links represent barter, and they are trivial to detect. Don't swap links for the purpose of building page rank. It's a waste of your time - Implement duplicate content - Use Session IDs on your URLs - Use lots of Javascript - Implement your site in Flash

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?
