Calling banks for my 82-year-old mother
by Scott Bilker
Scott, I help my 82-year-old mother pay many of her credit card bills. She's scared to call the credit card companies and I don't want to be added as an authorized user or they will show up on my credit report. Is there a service that she can give a power of attorney to that will call the credit card companies on her behalf? Currently, she is NOT past due on any credit cards--but that will change if we can't reduce these interest rates. Thanks! Brian

Good credit rating but too much debt for low rates
by Scott Bilker
Scott, I just found your website in a book I am reading from the Rich Dad Series. I am in business for myself for 8 years now. I have high CC debt all for the most part business debt. We always pay our bills on time. Recently though the CC companies started raising their interest rates on us and lowering our limits dramatically. Some to the tune of 35%! What can we do? Bob

How Junk Mail Can Save You Money
by Jeffrey Strain
Most people toss out the junk mail that comes in their mailbox never realizing that it can save them hundreds of dollars a year. That's because "junk mail" includes competing offers which can be used to lower the rates you currently pay for services.
How To Telecommute Successfully
by Kelly Land
Telecommuting is becoming more and more popular these days. Why? Because our technology enables us to do almost anything from a home office. Virtual meetings can be held via the Internet with a web camera and finished work can be sent by e-mail. We waste a lot of time and energy just getting to and from work.

What's Your #1 Excuse?
by Joe Vitale
I marvel at the thinking of some people. No matter what you say or do, they stick to their excuses and stay negative, limited, and stuck. Yet they don't see it. They think, "I'm just being objective."
Bankruptcy Law Passes House
by Scott Bilker
Bankruptcy change legislation passed Congress last week in a 302 to 126 vote and has been signed into law by President Bush. The changes introduced by this bill are tough on consumers and good for banks. Banks are having their cake and eating it too, as the hackneyed-cliché goes.
