What do you think the celebs pay for insurance?

Can you imagine what the cost of car insurance must be for all the Hollywood celebrities with their fancy cars? Many have multiple cars – luxury cars. I can only imagine that the cost of insuring all those cars is probably more than I make in a year.

Same for their home insurance since many of them live in mansion style homes worth millions. We think that our property taxes and yearly home insurance costs are high enough, and our house isn’t worth anywhere near the price of their homes.

I’m sure that with Nicole Ritchie recently being charged with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (she admitted to having taken vicodin and smoking some whacky tabacy) that at some point in the future Nicole will be looking to compare car insurance rates, because I’m sure hers will probably end up going up now that she’s been charged with a driving offence.

With so many stars getting in to trouble just driving their cars lately I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a weekly Hollywood insurance news tabloid out there.

A Mint of a credit card

by Tricia

Have you heard of Mint credit cards yet? They’ve been around since 2003, and offer two popular versions of credit cards. One is a standard version, and the other is called the MC2 Card which features a different shape.

Interestingly the MC2 credit card has the bottom right hand corner cut out. This is the first major change to the shape of credit cards in the UK in 37 years.

The mint credit cards offer 0% interest on balance transfers and puchases up until December. That’s amazing isn’t it?

Mint also offers a gift card. The gift card is actually a pre-paid credit card that you can give out as a gift. The recipient can use it just like any other credit card to make purchases at businesses where the Mint credit card is accepted. This would be a great gift for someone who enjoys shopping but is hard to pick just the right gift for.

Other features of Mint credit cards and their service that might interest you are the fact that they offer 24 hour customer service, you can manage your account online, and you can even shop online securely using MINT Secure.

Check out Mint Credit cards if you are thinking of getting a new credit card.

Confused about Home loans?

by Tricia

Hey people. If you are in the midst of purchasing a home or possibly renegotiating your mortgage on your “mansion” you might be interested in checking out Lenox Home Loans.

The company says they take the confusion of applying for a home loan, and that they are upfront about closing costs, which means of course that there will never be hidden fees when you deal with Lenox.

You can apply for a Lenox Home loan online at their site. It’s worth visiting Lenox if you’re a home buyer.

For those times when the bills come in all at once

by Tricia

I don’t know about you, but every once in a while I find that I’m short on cash. Occasionally a month comes along when everything goes wrong. The car breaks down, the furnace needs to be repaired and maybe a bill comes in that I only have to pay every three or four months but it just happens to be the month it’s due.

Have you found yourself in that kind of situation? It’s terrible when you find yourself in those kind of circumstances and Payday is still a week or more away isn’t it?

Well, just in case you do ever find that you come up short one month I thought I’d tell you about Payday Cash Advance Loans. They are great when you need money quickly. Simply go to the site and fill out a quick loan application. It takes just minutes to fill out the form and find out if you qualify for a loan.

The system is set up so that you’re first repayment of the Payday Advance loan begins after your next pay day. The repayment terms are fairly reasonable and it’s one of the fastest and easiest ways to get a loan quickly when you find yourself short on cash.

I was also pleased to discover that the site had a number of informative articles related to money management and and repairing your credit ratings. The site is worth a visit to read the articles at the very least.

Bring on the Romance

Wow, in less than a month it will be Valentines day. I was wondering if any of the men out there have started to think about what to get your girlfriend or spouse or started to plan a romantic evening?

I just came across a site called Romance For Everyone and the site is just full of romantic ideas, tips, Relationship articles and even Romantic poems. I was thinking that any man or woman who’s interested in planning a romantic evening or weekend with their loved one might enjoy visiting this site and reading some of the Romantic ideas and tips. Well, if you need some new romance ideas that is.

One section that I’ve really enjoyed is the Romantic Love Letters area. It’s fun just reading the letters but you could also read through them and get some ideas on how to compose your own love letter if you have writers block or just don’t feel as comfortable as some when it comes to expressing how you really feel about your special someone.

Here’s a really nice quote from one of the letters:

“Your look warms my heart. Your touch
makes it quiver. Being close to you fills my heart with contentment. Touching and
caressing you, in completely innocent ways, comforts me and my heart. “

This reminds me a little bit of the love letters that I found after my parents died. My father had written love letters to my mother all through out World War II. They had only gotten married 7 days before he was sent off to Europe so all they had for four years were their hopes and dreams and the beautiful love letters that I found.

Remember Valentines is coming up soon – start preparing for that special day now so that your loved one will be surprised and with any luck very happy with your romantic gesture.
