A friend of mine just invested some of his savings into Branson real estate. According to a real estate broker friend of his, now is a better time than ever to invest in real estate in the Branson Missouri area. It is receiving more tourists than ever and alot more people are starting to buy up property and land for things like vacation homes and retirement homes. I’ve considered investing some of my savings into real estate in the past, I just don’t know if I can afford to take that kind of risk, though.

I think I’m about the only person I know that doesn’t have any life insurance coverage. All of the guys I know at work have at least ten thousand dollars worth of life insurance to cover funeral expenses and that sort of thing. I really need to look into my options. I would hate to leave my family with that kind of financial burden.

Have you seen those commercials on television about a company called DirectBuy? I’ve always wondered if they were actually worth joining. I have been reading about them lately and it really seems like you can save quite a bit of money by joining their service. You can get huge discounts on things like home furniture, appliances, sporting goods, clothing and much more. I’m going to try and talk my girlfriend into letting me join. We’re thinking about remodeling our kitchen and I think we could save alot of money going through DirectBuy.

I’ve seen alot of ads for low interest credit cards through the holiday season. I was going to apply for a credit card with low interest just to use for all of my Christmas shopping, then pay off the balance and close the account. I came across ASCreditOnline.com and found several great credit card deals. I’m going to talk with my girlfriend and see what she thinks. My current credit card has an interest rate of about 26%. I really don’t think I’m going to charge much using that card if I cant get a lower interest rate than that.

I have finally signed up for one of those free checking accounts that WaMu advertises on television. So far I am very happy with it. They offer free checks, free outgoing wire transfers, one free overdraft/non-sufficient Funds fee refund per year, free identity theft services and more. On top of everything, they only require $1.00 to open a free checking account. I really havent seen anything this good elsewhere.

A friend of mine recently purchased one of the nicest luxury homes in our area. He runs a very successful online business and he has been wanting to buy this house for about 8 years. He was finally able to give the owners a cash offer and they were more than happy to accept it. I’m really happy for him and all of his success. Hopefully I will be that successful one day.

Why oh why is my light bill $283 dollars is what I want to know. I keep the computer running and the tv all day and that’s it. It’s rare that I turn on my lights and when I do its brief. So how did my bill get so high. Well I called the electric company and the answer was so stupid it was unbelievable. Actually it wasn’t an answer. The representative told me “Well it was much higher last year”. And your point is? These people are crazy. They all need refresher courses in customer service.

A couple of guys at my office were talking about life insurance today. It really got me thinking that I should purchase some term life insurance or whole life insurance for myself and my girlfriend. I’ve talked about it a few times with my girlfriend but she doesnt really like to talk about that sort of thing, death and all. I think im going to talk to a local life insurance office this week and see what my options are.

A friend of mine out in Seattle recently applied for a mortgage loan on his house. For some reason it was difficult for him to get a Washington mortgage.
