TMA #9: Weekend Getaway


May 23rd, 2008

If you were to plan a last minute weekend getaway, where would you go, what would you do, and what book would you take with you?

“Last minute” being the operative words, we will probably drive off  to Galveston Island and go to the Moody Gardens.  The place’s main attractions are two pyramids, the Aquarium Pyramid, which showcases ocean life and the Rainforest Pyramid, which showcases tropical plants and animals.  While there, I’d love to have fresh seafood…something I’ve been pining for. :)  Book?  I don’t think I’ll have time to read.  Sorry.   If ever, I’ll bring books for my daughter.  Hahaha! :D

That’s my answer.

ACA TO THE RESCUE


May 23rd, 2008

Credit cards can be both a friend and a foe depending on how one uses it. It can be a friend specially in cases of emergency when one can’t get to the bank right away or for a necessary purchase that can’t just wait for the month’s paycheck. It can be a foe when one starts spending carelessly for unnecessary things because, let’s face it, credit cards tend to give the illussion that one has money. Whatever the reason for one’s credit card woes, we shouldn’t be quick to judge though, because nobody would really want to put one’s self in such a predicament.

There is a company based in California whose job is credit card debt help.  It is called ACA, which stands for Advocate Credit Assistance.  They help in finding the best solution to handle credit card and other unsecured debt.  It is their goal to provide clients with an affordable package that will help them get back on their feet financially and find solutions that will address the stress and strain caused by debt.  The options they have for prospective clients include debt settlement, debt consolidation, debt crisis management, bankruptcy, etc.

Should you know someone who might have use for this information, do give them the heads up.  It’s about time they regain their peace of mind and sleep well at night.
