Advantages to car title loans

So, you might be wondering, when is the best time for a car title loan?  Well, in one short sentence, the best time is when you need liquidity fast and when your credit is an issue.  Let’s compare a car title loan to a home equity loan for a second.  If you had to make a rent payment by the end of the week or you were looking at buying furniture that was on sale for a short period of time, a home equity loan would be almost impossible to secure.  If there is no assessment value on your house an assessment would have to be done in order for a lender to determine the value of your home and that could take months.  With a car title loan, a lender really just needs the Kelly Blue book and their own people to look over your car.  Plus, the paper work can take as little as 15 minutes.  Consider a lendernewengland like this one in New England.  From Boston to Bar Harbor, you can easily secure the money you need in a short period of time.  If you’ve had some bad luck over the years and credit is an issue you have no worries.  They will assess your car and tell you how much you can borrow.  Check it out yourself.  Google car title loans in New England and you’ll see that this is a trusted site.

 

College football rankings a joke…

iowa-fb-07-mg-coverIf you follow college football, you might be aware of all the upsets this weekend.  Iowa pulled off a huge upset of Penn State AT Penn State.  Unranked Oregon beat up on 3rd ranked Cal.  And then the polls came out yesterday.  The USA today poll had Penn State at 13 and Iowa at 17.  They had Cal at 19 and Oregon at 25????  LSU moved up to #4 in the AP poll even though they barely beat (and should have lost to)  Miss. St. because of an amazing goal line stand at the end of the game.  Polls are fun to watch, but the voters are way too influenced by big name schools and coaches.  And in the end it shouldn’t matter.  The final score is all that should matter (so LSU shouldn’t have dropped any spots, but I am not sure they should move up you know?)  But it does matter in the end.  Because college football is a big money business, there is no playoff system.  The big schools would lose too much money and not be assured of money for getting into a bowl game.  So inevitably, year after year, there are arguments about who should be in the national title game.  The arguments are legit, but until rankings are measured simply by what happens on the field, nothing will change…

 

Never give into fear…

superstock_1598r-208004During these rough economic times you can never let fear dictate your financial decisions. Sure, it is good to be cautious, but with certain investments if you simply cut back and spend less you usually stand to lose more. Plus, it sucks to feel like you are being held hostage. If you are seeking a significant loan amount to jumpstart a career or business then I would not recommend a car title loan. But if you need $1,000 to get you through this month then consider a car title loan as an option. Here is a car title loan lender in Texas with over 500 locations!  No need to worry about your credit score or hitting up a family member for cash.  You just have to be careful with how much you borrow because you are putting up your car as collateral.  But if you give them a call or fill out the quick online application they will get right back to you and answer all your questions so you can feel reassured.

 

Pretty incredible story…

shiloh-pepin-little-mermaid-tlc186wy092509This is Shiloh Pepin, a 10 year old girl born with a very rare birth defect- sirenomelia.  It is also called “mermaid syndrome”.  Basically, here legs are fused together as one.  She was also born without no rectum, uterus, genitals or bladder and with only a fourth of a kidney.  The story breaks my heart, but I cannot help but be interested.  Seems like you’d have to be an incredible parent and when you hear her speak she sounds very solid…
