Having a credit card is a good thing. It gives us a nice chunk of money when we really need it. It is great to have a credit card for emergency purposes. The bad thing, is if one of our credit cards get in the wrong hands. As soon as you notice that your credit cards are missing, you should immediately contact your credit card company. It’s good to already have their number wrote down somewhere, so in case of an emergency, you won’t have to waste any time looking for their number.

Selecting a good credit card is important. You want to look at all the things they offer and any fees that might be associated with them. 0% credit cards is something that you should look into. You can get Instant Approval Credit Cards with some great benefits that can actually help you reduce your debt if used correctly. Making sure that the interest rates don’t jump too big after a certain amount of time is another thing to consider. You can find 0% balance transfers too. Sometimes transferring our money into a lower interest account, can save us a lot of money. With any credit card make sure that you spend within your means and set a budget and stick to it so that you can enjoy better rates and more perks with your credit.

When it comes to our personal finances I am more of a saver and always looking for ways to maximize our savings. We use the generosity of our credit Cards to extend payments using their 0% interest rates and then will pay off smaller loans to then let our money work elsewhere. There are even debt management services that will help you if you get over extended and find yourself in financial turmoil. Now that savings accounts and money markets are starting to pay above 5% we can start setting aside some of your cash that would go towards these other debts and let our money build. Our current accounts are always in good standing and we have been able to maintain a great credit score and the lenders will work with us to get a lower rate on various purchases.

This was evident when we went to revise our loan for our house and one of the lenders started off at 6% but when we he was able to pull our credit he was able to come down to 5.75%. I did not realize also that your credit score affects how much you could pay for home insurance. We ended up saving an additional $85 per year since our credit score was great. Our agent said it is a good idea to check yearly to see if we qualify for any additional discounts. The best Debt Advice we can give is to plan your budget and stick to it. Do not over extend and lessen the amount of credit cards you carry to reduce the temptation of over spending.

Someone I have a lot of on-line contact with has been disabled and unable to work for three years now. Despite her having worked for 20 years without a break, and having paid Social Security contributions during that time, she has had an awful time getting disability insurance and has had a couple of appeals turned down.

She spoke to me at the weekend and says the situation finally has been resolved now, and she will now be getting her disability payments. She had always done exactly what it said on the government’s disability insurance website, and had not realized that there are actually companies that will help, whether you are making your first application or lodging an appeal against a refusal of your claim. These guys did all the work for her. Apparently they have a 98% success rate, and they do not take a cent unless they manage to get you what you are entitled to.

When dealing with government agencies, it is always a good idea to have someone with you who knows how it all works and can also hopefully speed up the process a bit. Endless form filling can be very tiring and confusing, particularly when you are not at your best, and these guys took all the sweat out of the process. Fighting for something to which you are entitled can be extremely frustrating and I am really glad her ordeal is now at an end, and she can relax a bit and hopefully start on the road to recovery.

Jake DeSantis, an executive vice president of the American International Group’s financial products unit, sent a letter on Tuesday to Edward M. Liddy, the chief executive of A.I.G. The letter was published on 25th March in the New York Times . The fact that the letter was published in the New York Times appears strange, since most letters of resignation are not publicised. Maybe he was doing a Pontius Pilate, and washing his hands in public.

Mr. DeSantis, who has worked for the company for 11 years, explained that he felt unable to continue working for the company which he called dysfunctional, and that he and his staff in the financial products unit had been betrayed by A.I.G and unfairly persecuted by elected officials. He goes on to state that his unit was not responsible for the credit default swap transactions that have hamstrung AIG. He will not be returning his bonus, as requested, but after the tax has been taken off he is going to give it to charity, to ‘those most affected by the economic downturn’. His intent is not to keep a single cent of the money for himself and his family.

He also states that he feels that Mr. Liddy, the chief executive of A.I.G., was not responsible for the mismanagement at A.I.G either.

Which begs the question, what are these high paid executives actually being paid for? Mr. DeSantis has worked the last year for a $1.00 fee, on the understanding that he would receive a bonus payment in March of this year. In view of the fact that the company was being dismantled where exactly did he think the profits were that would pay his bonus? Surely bonus payments are being paid at the end of a financial year based on the performance of the company paying the bonus. Of course, he thought the bonus payment would come from the American Taxpayer, his bonus actually being paid out of the BailOut Fund which is American Taxpayers’ money.

So for 10 years Mr. DeSantis worked for a dysfunctional company that was creating an artificial finance bubble, but he failed to see that and he was in no way shape or form responsible for that. So what did he see? He must either be very gullible, in which case one wonders how he ever made it to vice executive, or he is a hypocrite, who now that the A.I.G. ship is sinking fast does what most rats do.

Needless to say, the readers ‘comments in the New York Times were many, and the discussion is now closed, so no further comments can be added to it.

Perhaps the most succinct statement of all is from Rolf, New York

‘ Hint : If your company accepts tens of millions of dollars from taxpayers, consider your bonus renegotiated’

Well said Rolf, I am sure most taxpayers will agree with you on that.
