4 things you should never do with your credit cards

2009-11-11T13:28:00.003+07:00

By Susan McCarthy, a financial adviser in Oklahoma City and author of The Value of Money, lists her top four credit card don'ts:

1. Don't make only the minimum payments. This stretches out your payment and, thanks to the interest, significantly increases your overall cost.

2. Don't carry too many cards. Multiple cards make it easier to rack up debt because it's harder to keep track of your spending. Having lots of cards isn't necessarily bad for your credit, but misusing them is. So limit your plastic to two national cards (store cards often carry higher interest rates) that you manage carefully.

3. Don't miss payment due dates. Not only will you be hit with a late fee-as high as $39 on some cards-but your interest rate could also jump. Sign up for online banking or pay over the phone if you're up against the deadline. (You may pay a processing fee, but it will probably be less than the late fee and the possible interest-rate hike.)

4. Don't take cash advances. These advances generally come with sky-high interest rates and service fees, making them a far too expensive way to get cash. Avoid at all costs.

By Yenie Swandari

Generally before baby comes home these are the things your nursery or baby room should be equipped with, to make you and the baby comfortable and make your task easier to caring for the new bundle of joy.

Baby stores are full of "goods" all adorable, cute and charming as can be, like Modern baby furniture, The Transformer bedding, baby jumper, Disney character high chair, toys, and accessories, all of these items are tempting but it is easy to forget what is really required. Here are some furniture that really necessary to buy;

For sleeping. There are several options to choose baby bed such as a cradle, a bassinet a crib, or a convertible crib. The best solution is a convertible crib although it’s a little more expensive to start with. And if your baby gets older it takes only some additional tools to convert the crib to a toddler bed.

You will need some fitted sheets to cover the mattress and some baby blankets. You have to keep the baby's bedding clean and make baby comfortable.

A changing table use to put everything you need for changing or cleaning baby right at hand, convenient and will help spare your back. Some changing table even has a little integrated bathtub, which can be tucked away when not needed or be changed into a toy shelf. But if you don’t have space to place a changing table in the baby’s room, you can change the babies on the bed.

A dresser is useful for put away all of baby’s clothes. The dressers are available in all style and price. But you could repaint the old dresser.

A toy chest. In choosing a toy chest the only concern is to ensure that it is fitted with a closing system that is safe for little fingers.

Steve Jobs review on e-bay :

I love this iPhone. It is sleek, elegant, sophisticated, and is sought after worldwide! As an avid Apple user, you will get exactly what you expect: A handy portable MAC that is not susceptible to viruses and is efficient and easy to operate, it's a phone that has all the features of most smart phones, but is a long step ahead of its competition. It supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, delivering push email, calendar, and contacts. It gives mobile users secure access to corporate resources with Cisco IPSec VPN and wireless network services with WPA2 Enterprise and 802.1X authentication.
The rich HTML format of its email will make you think you're on a full-fledged computer!
There are thousands of apps you can put on this handy little device. Anyone in any industry will have options that will relate to you work. Why, you may even be able to take this phone as a tax write-off (seek the guidance of your tax counselor).
It's a GPS. It's a calendar. It's a communicator. It's a walking, talking business device that will keep you ahead of the game.
And lets not forget.....it's an iPod!

Two things I don't like about the iPhone: You have no access to the battery, which obviously means you have to take it in for servicing to have the battery changed.
But most of all: It's locked in to a service provider that I'm not real fond of. And even though there is a software unlocking proceedure, thanks to the incredible work of the DevTeam, and sim card devices, the fact remains Steve Jobs locked a good portion of his followers out by marketing it to but one sole carrier.
Okay....three thngs! It is slippery! EASY to drop if you're not careful. It's a shame to hide its beauty under a cover, but with such an expensive device, it is recommended.
Cell phones come and go....but the iPhone is going to be a tough act to follow.
