One of the good things here in the US is the breeze for applying loans or line of credit. :D Majority of the financing company or instructions will run credit reports to see your financial history – how responsible you are in paying your debt. This credit reports will not show your income but a score depending on the history of your account, credit cards owned, any late payments, default payment, amount owed versus credit allowed.. and more. No background check or calling to confirm employment or income verification. Isn’t that cool?

The only drawback is if you’re not responsible enough handling it.. then you will be indebted up to you neck.. where you can no longer breath. Like how we say it “baon sa utang, abot hanggang leeg.”

Early last year, I start controlling myself in spending/shopping a lot. I’m glad that I’m 75% tamed this time. And I was able to save money to pay off debts. I still have debt that I want to get rid off and projects I want to accomplish this year. So more controlling and savings again for this year. I learned to work on what I have in my budget. I learned to plan everything. But of course there always slippage from what I set up.. but these things are minimal now compared the past years. I’ve been scouting daily deals or clipping coupons to save money from our everyday needs. And more clippings will happen this year ;)  

Having a good credit will enable you basically everything that the market has.. ;) What I mean is you can get approved when you apply for credit.

A lot of store is currently on sale. And really a bad timing for me because I’m on leave and currently receiving only my disability insurance money. But I’m planning to get payday loans once I get back to work six weeks from now :D

I really want to buy gifts for my daughter, husband, and my siblings back in Manila. And most of the stuff I want to shop are gadgets and clothes.. things that are not cheap! So I really need a lot of money to buy all the things I want before the sale ends so I can maximize saving money.

pacific advanceI just spoke to a friend and she’s asking to borrow cash from me because of an emergency. Yikes! Now that I’m under disability insurance I could hardly lend money to my family and more I can’t afford just to anyone. I advised her to consider the option for cash advance since she has regular job and has an ability to pay it. Hope she will consider my advise.

She can borrow from $100 up to $2,500 and can be deposited on her bank account overnight. Sometimes things like this or emergency happens and it’s nice to know that there’s an option to get cash advance as quick as that.
