Somehow Lita Epstein (a writer at  http://www.dailyfinance.com) found my “Credit Card Protest Video” at Youtube.com. Just by her linking to the video in her story about criminal credit card companies it has jump-started the movement. Here is the web address http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/lenders-write-off-more-credit-card-debt/19297958. Read all of the horror stories people have shared about their credit card companies in the comments section below her article.

This doesn’t just apply to actual houses. It applies to apartments, cars, and even possessions.




With so many people in debt to the credit card companies and the banks that hold mortgages the question about how much house do you really need is an important one.

Is It Cheaper To Rent Or Buy Your Home?

December 10th, 2009
debt snowball debtsnowball

This question; Is it cheaper to rent or buy your home, has been around for a long time. There is no set answer that works for everybody. In some situations there is no advantage with either way.

If you move often then always rent  your home whether it is an apartment, a house, or a condominium. Buying houses costs plenty of money up front. If you finance it you will be paying fees and interest to the bank. You will be paying for appraisal fees, closing fees, taxes, surveys, and who knows how many others get tacked on to the purchase.

$30 Billion More Debt For Us

December 2nd, 2009
debt snowball, debtsnowball,

Here at www.MrMoneyHelper.com I comment on ways to save money and politics when it relates to money. Thirty-billion dollars more per year will be spent on attacking people in Afghanistan. I don’t like it one bit. In case you didn’t know, I am not a Democrat or Republican. I am a Libertarian (with a twist). I believe in the Libertarian philosophy that states that there should be as little government as possible and that our country shouldn’t interfere with other nations unless they attack us.

Part 4: Is A College Education Really Worth It? NO!

November 20th, 2009

Yesterday November 19, 2009, the State of California Board of Regents voted to raise tuition thirty-two percent per year for college students attending public universities. That brings up the tuition to about ten thousand dollars per year. This doesn’t include the fee increases for everything else at the schools.


Do you think that getting a college degree in any type of general studies program will get you a good paying job right now? How about for the foreseeable future? If you have an art degree you might be able to get a teaching job in a foreign country. Arts education isn’t really promoted in most school systems these days.

Some Money Gurus Are Wrong!

July 26th, 2009

In the past couple of years since writing “How To Be Debt Free Fast!” I have seen money experts give really stupid advice on different talk shows about growing savings while paying off debts. They say you should put away some of your paycheck every month. This is stupid advice for someone wanting to pay off debts. The only exception would be if your employer matches your contributions to your retirement fund. As I wrote before, only contribute up to the amount the company will match and no more.
