Everybody Needs a Map!

Posted by Ann on February 18, 2008

Maps can come in very useful.  Whether your traveling, sightseeing, planning a trip, or simply wandering around the city where you live then maps can be an aid.

You can quickly find out where you when strolling around town are by using city maps.  perhaps you are on a trip and need a map of Alaska or map of Arizona.  Perhaps you’re planning a new trip and want to check it out in advance with your map of Central America.  Or perhaps your wanting to check out the location of some famous historical landmarks in a map of Egypt.

I also like to use a map when I’m reading a story that takes place in a location that I have never visited.  You get to know the new area and after you have turned the last page of your book you may well feel that you have already been there!

What you need to know about your rebate

Posted by Ann on February 15, 2008

An estimated 130 million taxpayers will share in the rebates coming this spring. This is not free money from the government, rather it is your tax credit to reduce taxable income for this year….meaning your next year’s return will be smaller than normal. So, keep these points in mind: it is your money, and although the politicians want you to spend it all, do what is best for your finances. If you do buy, try to buy American. The whole point is to bolster our own economy, and our trade deficity doesn’t need the help.

Refinancing: Can You Take Advantage of the Low Rates?

Posted by Ann on February 8, 2008

So, there are great rates available nowadays, with 30-year fixed rate mortgages at 5.67%. But with today’s climate following the sub-prime mortgage crisis, it’s very hard to qualify. The president of Americana Mortgage Group, Bob Moulton, has said, “I’m turning away about 60% to 75% of the clients who come to me for a refi,”. Total mortgage applications rose 73% last week from a year earlier, but only those with good income, good assets, and high credit scores can hope to take part in low-rate mortgage refis.
