Use a credit card to get you out of the mess caused by credit cards? If you’re trying to spiff up a damaged credit history, bad credit credit cards may hold part of the key. The trick is all in choosing the right credit card and using it wisely.

Your credit report is a listing of all sorts of information about you, including when and how you pay your bills, if you’ve got overdue accounts, if you have a history of defaulting on loans and if it’s safe to trust you with borrowed money. On the flip side, it also can show that you handle money responsibly, that you’ve paid off debts and that you are a fine upstanding citizen who pays accounts off on time and properly. Bad credit credit cards can help you change the image that your credit report reflects - as long as you actually use them appropriately.

Why a bad credit credit card? Obviously, if you qualify for a low interest credit card, you wouldn’t need to be reading this, would you? If you’ve had trouble qualifying for credit cards from most lenders, though, there are credit cards designed for people with spotty, stained or downright tattered credit. In some cases, you may have to go so far as applying for a secured credit card - where you deposit 1-2 times the amount of your credit limit into a bank account as collateral - in order to get a credit card that you can use - but the results are worth it. Here’s why.

One feature that most bad credit credit cards share is their reporting habits. Most credit card companies only make reports to the credit bureaus when you miss payments or are late on them. Credit cards that are marketed as ‘credit repair’ cards, on the other hand, often report every payment that you make, and label your account ‘in good standing’ in your credit report.

This is important if you’ve had credit troubles in the past. While many bad credit reports will stay on your credit record for up to six years, the further in the past they are, the less they’ll count with prospective creditors. If you had a bad spot of trouble four years back, but your credit report now shows two years of regular, on time payments to a credit card company, the picture that emerges is of a regular person who had a tough time, but has since recovered and is paying their bills on time. That’s even better an outlook than a person who had a spot of trouble four years ago, and hasn’t used credit since.

Obviously, you’ll pay a bit more for your credit card than if you had spotless credit. Bad credit issuers are taking a bigger risk by giving credit cards to those who have credit trouble in their pasts. To offset that risk, they’ll charge higher interest rates, and quite possibly membership fees and service charges. That doesn’t mean, though, that you’re stuck paying a fortune in unreasonable fees and rates. If you shop carefully, you’ll find companies that aren’t taking advantage of your vulnerability by tacking on outrageous fees.

Whether your family is comprised of one person or ten, dining out can quickly become a significant expense. To trim your budget as well as your waistline, it makes sense to examine the amount of money spent in eating out.

Whether it’s a fast food feast or a sit down dinner, each has their own cost. While a fast food meal of burgers or a take-out pizza may seem fairly inexpensive in terms of cash value, how does this (often) high fat and calorie eating affect your heath? A bulging body? Low energy? Addiction to sugar and fats?

A higher priced meal may give you a better quality of food but not always. You still have to contend with a well-padded hit to your budget in addition to some chow that can still be too generous a portion.

For those who want to devote a portion of their budget to eating out, here are a few rules to consider.

1. Scrap the buffet! With the exception of those leaning towards a gorging at meal times, very few people can eat the full cost of their meal ticket (HINT: restaurants count on that). Buffets are great for variety but that choice comes at a cost. Pick a reasonable entre instead.

2. Skip the extras! Cutting out the smaller volume but higher priced bonus items like dessert, appetizers and yes, drinks (both booze and things like pop or milk) can save you, not only on a lower tab but also with a reduced taxes and tip. If each person consumes a beverage, appetizer and dessert, your bill can more than double. Ouch!

3. Opt for quality. Go for the best quality food, in terms of freshness, appeal, and service that you can afford. A meal built around these objectives will be more likely to satisfy your body and your mind. And a meal you enjoy translates into an experience that you’ll remember (and make you feel you received value for your money).

4. Check your schedule. If you can be flexible with your timing, consider eating out at different times. Families with young children are a little more limited but many restaurants will offer reduced prices depending on when you dine. Beyond lunch specials which most places have, a local Chinese restaurant nearby reduces prices on their dinner menu by 35% if you eat after 8:15pm.

Like with everything else frugal, little changes add up and lead to big results. Saving here and there can mean savings if you scrimp consistently. But while watching your pennies, remember to eat up and enjoy!

I was chatting with a national sales manager for a growing company who expressed interest in attracting top sales and management talent.

When I asked him about the compensation he offers, he detailed a plan that consists of a super-low, guaranteed salary plus reasonable commissions, based on performance.

Then, I probed to determine what alterative pay plans he had in place, and he seemed shocked at the question.

This is our plan, he emphasized.

I went on to tell him that what he outlined is incredibly unattractive to someone of high caliber, and he should come up with more exciting alternatives, if he is sincere about attracting top talent.

It amazes me how inflexible managers become once they have formed a pay plan that at least a few people will work under, without complaint. They adopt an If it aint broke, dont fix it mentality.

Which is very, very shortsighted for one simple reason: people in sales, particularly, are motivated differently. For instance, some folks thrive in a commission-only environment, while others need a hefty, set salary before they feel they can relax and give their best.

You have to allocate your incentives to fit the beings youre working with. If they need security, but theyre good, adjust the mix so theres a healthy guarantee. If theyre daredevils or folks who are used to being on the high wire, working without a safety net, then back-load the incentives so theyre paid nicely based on results.

But also appreciate that theyre judging you, and your company. Salespeople and managers with excellent track records will see everything about you, from the quality of the shoe leather on your feet to the permanent or temporary feeling of the furniture in your office.

If anything about you says, Fly by night, theyll insist on up-front pay, and theyll doubt strongly if youll be around to remember your promise of lofty commissions in the hereafter.

In other words, if company like IBM or Exxon says it will honor your future achievement with big bonuses, you have a right to believe them, and you know theyll be around to collect from, if you have to hold their feet to the fire.

When it comes to health benefits, more and more companies are going to a cafeteria format, enabling people to pick and choose, and to trade off one good thing for another.

Try applying this modern sensibility to compensation and you and your company will be handsomely rewarded–with performance.

The Bank is Always Correct: True or False?

Short answer: FALSE, mistakes are always possible.

Longer answer: keep reading.

In a perfect world, everything would be, well, perfect. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. You might think that since you do all your banking on-line you can’t have any problems, because the only transactions which post to your bank account are the ones that you’ve initiated on-line.

Do you get checks from clients and customers which you deposit into your checking account? There’s always a possibility that the magnetically encoded amount (which is the actual amount used for the transaction) gets entered wrong. The difference can range from one cent to substantial dollar amounts.

Do you pay any bills directly at vendor web sites? Sometimes their systems go awry and transactions get sent to your bank twice where they’re double-posted (deducted from your balance twice).

Do you have any direct deposits coming into your account? Sometimes they go astray. One of my clients recently got a notice from one of his customers that they had paid his bill by an electronic transfer directly into his business checking account. He assumed the money was there for him to spend.

Several months later he was notified that some of the checks he had written had bounced. He asked me to reconcile his account (it hadn’t been done in a while) to see if anything was wrong. I discovered that his bank deposited his electronic payment from his customer into someone else’s account.

It took him many phone calls and quite a bit of time and energy to get the situation cleared up.

It’s also possible that transactions which you didn’t authorize might clear your account because someone has hacked into your bank’s system or you’ve been a victim of identity theft.

Criminals frequently begin their activity with small dollar amount items, hoping you won’t notice. If you don’t, they graduate to higher amounts. That’s why it’s critical to be able to account for every penny that goes through your checking account.

By the way, you generally have only 60 days from the date of an error to tell the bank about it, so it’s quite important that you do your reconciliations as soon as possible. If you have a large volume of transactions, I recommend that you go on-line at least weekly to check the transaction history for items that have posted to your account.

The sooner you find an error, the easier it is to correct it. And you’ll avoid the possible embarrassment of bounced transactions and limit the amount of overdraft fees and other service charges.

If a tax payment you’ve made bounces, you’re likely to suffer further complications, including penalties and interest . Also, if you use a payroll service and pay employees by direct deposit, a single instance of insufficient funds (whether it’s your fault or not) can result in higher fees and possible restrictions on your account.

One of my clients had a situation just before Christmas in which there were insufficient funds to cover a payroll check for direct deposit. The problem was discovered after the client’s business was closed for a two-week holiday.

It was a small nightmare to get everything resolved, requiring a great deal of energy and lots of phone calls. And a substantial service charge.

Banking errors may not be common or frequent, but they can be costly and stressful. They can happen to anyone and any business. So, please, balance your bank statement regularly: it’s definitely worth your time.

When you own a business, it is very important that you ensure you have a good distribution system in place. From the software you use, to the distribution manager that you select to even how your entire distribution network works together it is very important to ensure that you always have the best setup possible so that your business is running at full capacity.

Keeping your business flowing is very important, and this includes ensuring that your distribution network is working properly as well. With a good system that is running correctly you should not notice any problems in moving your products, nor should your customers and clients experience any delays or hiccups in your system. This makes it much easier for the entire company to work much smoother and keeps your business at the top of its potential.

While you may wonder exactly what purpose it serves, there are few times when it is possible to run a company without having a good network in place. In order to really keep your products flowing to customers you are going to find that you need an effective system in place. So while you are building your distribution system, you should consider the exact needs of your business so you can ensure that your distribution network is functioning in the exact manner you need it to function.

This could mean that you need a custom software solution, or it could even mean that you need some help in ensuring that it runs properly by hiring an employee or two to manage the department for you. It could mean you need to work with a shipping company to work out a shipping discount, or even a shipping schedule. You need to work carefully to ensure that you are designing it to work around your exact needs.

You must keep in mind when designing your system that there are times when you simply cannot use pre-designed software as well as you cannot use a system that has been designed by another business. You may discover that the system that has been designed for a different business is not capable of meeting all of your needs without causing potential problems. While it may seem easier initially to simply copy the system of another operation you should never do this without caution since you will be forcing your business to adapt around a preexisting one, rather than adapting your system around your own.

Keeping your business flowing as well as all of your customers happy is a huge area where opportunity always exists. Working to ensure that everyone is as happy as possible is a key element to ensuring that your distribution network works flawlessly and really supports your business rather than causing you increasing stress and anxiety. Your business relies on you to provide leadership and management, so rely on it to provide the tools you need for an effective system.

Employment in today’s scenario is not always a permanent state and this state is not always in one’s own control. You may sometimes just find yourself out of employment because the organization you were working for is not doing well. And more often than not, such a situation brings about a very awkward financial status. You might be in the middle of many things you may have just bought a car or a computer and you may have many bills which seemed nothing when you had a decent employment depending on your monthly salary. With that option gone now, you might find your life in a complete mess.

This is exactly the scenario where a debt consolidation loan seems the right thing to have. The nuisance is not the financial status you are aware that it would be corrected as soon as you have your next job. And being aware of your academics and skill set, you might be aware of some kind of a timeline within which you would have your next employment. The irritating thing is that all these multiple sources of exit of money and all these lenders to deal with does not allow you to concentrate on the task at hand seeking a decent job.

The right thing to do in this scenario is to look for the available options of debt consolidation and to go for one. It is anyways not a very healthy idea to have multiple exits for money not at all if you do not have a monthly paycheck to receive. There are multiple options that all residents of UK today have for debt consolidation loans. Like all other loans, these come with a set of conditions and your financial health, your assets and your credit history play an important role in getting a good bargain on the interest rate.

Let us consider these factors in a bit of a greater detail. The risk involved with debt consolidation loans for the unemployed is large. So, normally, the interest rates are higher as high as 13% in extreme cases if things are adverse and the credit history is bad. If the loans are secured, it is easier to bargain for lower rates but that would necessitate that you place a home or something else as a collateral. If that is possible, there is nothing like that and it is perfectly easy to bargain for rates as low as 10%. If that is not the case which is the more plausible scenario, your past credit history and the circumstances which predict how easy or tough it would be for you to get back into employment decide the bargaining ability that you have.

Whatever the case and rates, it is still financially a more viable option and you would end up paying lesser cumulative rates than you would currently be paying due to the multiple sources and bills you have due. Also, it removes the requirement to deal with many different lenders and you will be able to concentrate better on the real problem at hand your unemployment. You would be able to devote more time and mental space to finding a new job or going for the business option that you have been planning to implement.

There are things to keep in mind when you are going for debt consolidation loan as an unemployed. You must carefully choose the lender and be sure of the time frame within which he promises to give you the money. Also, you must be fully aware of the repayment terms and conditions it is possible to find a lender who would not ask for a repayment for a certain period of time in which you would expect to get back into a job. Also, you must carefully plan your expenses and not allow multiple sources of exit once you have gone for a debt consolidation option this would defeat the very purpose and you might get into more financial trouble than you already were in.

With all these considerations, it seems obvious that when you do not have an employment, and you have many bills and loans to pay off, it makes sense both psychologically and financially to go in for a debt consolidation loan. The terms and interest rate of the loan depends largely on your status, the financial scenario and your past credit history.

Making payments for different purposes, checks have become an integral part of the banking system. Payments by check have been made mandatory by different organizations and companies which do not allow the settlement of dues through cash.

Checks can be ordered according to individual requirements. However, there are certain agencies that specialize in producing checks. Checks ordered from check producers can prove cost-effective. While ordering checks from such producers the role of the bank is limited, in the sense that it cannot charge a mark-up price on the checks.

It should be borne in mind that a bank with which an individual is attached does not produce checks. It in fact gives orders for printing checks to a check printer acknowledged by the banking sector.

It is the printer who produces the checks and delivers them to the concerned individuals according to the specifications indicated by the bank. Hence, check producers can offer checks at a lower price, if the order for checks is placed directly with the check producers.

When orders for checks are placed, the agency involved in producing such checks ensures that the customers are satisfied with the quality of checks. The security features incorporated into the checks as per the requirements of the banking industry are quite acceptable, and the direct delivery procedure means customers pay less than if they ordered the checks from the bank.

While placing orders online for checks, customers are often apprehensive about the safety measures undertaken to prevent their misuse. However, it is an established fact that placing orders for checks online is completely safe, and the chances of checks being misused are ruled out.

The utilization of sophisticated technology implies that any data furnished by concerned individuals while ordering checks is encrypted during transit.

I am using the time I alloted today to work on the real estate investor marketing in the Learn To Be Rich on-line game to lay out a framework of the steps we need to follow to get this new feature implemented into the game.

First, I will need to access the Php MyAdmin control panel and manually add in some of the sample types of marketing so that I begin to play with those with my test player in the game. My intention is to add 3 or so different ones like classified ads, bandit signs and door to door flyers.

Next, once I have those three in the database, I will need to add some code so that there is a chance each turn to learn that from our in-game Marketing Consultant. This includes adding the type of marketing to that players database table as something that is available. It also includes making sure that it shows up on the Real Estate tab as something you can work on.

Once I have it in the players database table, I need to add the code for the player to be able to modify how much to spend each turn on that type of marketing.

Next, I will need to write the code to determine the number of new houses that appear for you to look at based on the marketing you are spending money on.

Once I have this basic system working, then I will go back and add more types of marketing and tweak the interface to get the right balance in the game.

So, that is the plan right now to make the game have that new feature for modeling the marketing to find motivated sellers.
