Try increasing your principal payments instead.... If you can send an extra $50 - or even $20 - (principal only) every two weeks, you will reduce your principal that much quicker, and pay less in interest as well.pidgeon92Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:30:39 -0000http://consumerismcommentary.disqus.com/get_out_of_freecreditreportcom8217s_8220triple_advantage8221/#comment-21314925My husband got suckered into this one, too. I didn't realize it for a few months, I thought it was from my Equifax account. Anything that requires you to end a credit card number is bad.pidgeon92Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:37:40 -0000http://consumerismcommentary.disqus.com/cash_vs_credit_card_gas_stations_charging_different_prices/#comment-21307382I remember back before we started using credit cards extensively (early 80s) that all gas stations gave a "cash discount." I was very surprised when they dropped it. I am not surprised that they are bringing it back, particularly in the case of independent station owners, who don't make much off the sale of a gallon. What really surprises me are that there are still places where attendants have to pump the gas for you.pidgeon92Thu, 21 Jun 2007 11:34:43 -0000http://bripblap.disqus.com/a_cautionary_tale_about_organic_and_natural_things/#comment-1549572Remember that your blood pressure will rise and fall during the day for a number of reasons. Last week I had a biopsy done, and it was fine, 120/72. The next day when I went in for the results it was 170/100 (I was very nervous, but it turned out OK). You should take it daily when you are calm, and track it.pidgeon92Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:30:50 -0000
