I walk past an apartment building just about every day.  In front of the apartment building are the mailboxes.  They have them all right next to each other.  Next to the mailboxes are two giant trashcans.  The trashcans are always filled to the brim with what people call “junk mail.”  This supposed junk mail is made up primarily of coupons.  When I see the people walking in and out of their apartments, I don’t see any millionaires.  They all look like people who could benefit from the coupons.  Still, they just throw them away.  I don’t understand it.  I like to save money on groceries.

Coupons are a great way to save money on groceries.  Usually once a week the stores in your geographical location will send you coupons.  Most people just throw these coupons away.  That is a waste of money.  There is usually something in the coupon book that you are already going to buy.  It is worth it to look through the coupon book.  Do not just throw away money.  Instead, save money on groceries.     Continue Reading

Is there a way out of unsecured debt short of filing for bankruptcy?   Unsecured debt includes credit card balances, unpaid medical bills and other debt that is not secured by assets such as savings or property.  Debt can be the result of poor financial management but there are other reasons one might fall into debt such as the loss of a job or prolonged illness.  Whatever the reason, finding a good unsecured debt relief program is critical if you are unable to pay back your debt.

Debt settlement is one way of easing the unsecured debt burden.  This allows you to negotiate with your creditors and arrive at an agreement to reduce the balance owing.  Creditors would prefer to negotiate rather than have you file for bankruptcy.  If they settle it means they will at least recover some of their money.      Continue Reading
