  • Help! I Lost My Health Insurance!

  • Why Does My Auto Loan Hate Me? I Thought We Were Friends!
    Most of us fall in love with a car at a dealership and that’s the end of the story. Hey, where do I sign? Even if we do a great job of chipping away at the sticker price and feel pretty darn good about ourselves, we often get burned on the financing end of things. This is especially the case for people trying to score an auto loan with some bad marks on their credit report.
  • Why Won’t My New Car Just Let Me Eat?
    Just looking at it is enough to depress you, isn’t it? The payment on your new car isn’t just depressing, it’s a nightmare that’s not going to end for five years - meaning that you are going to be pinching pennies and surviving off of mac & cheese for awhile! The new car loan rate on your “new baby” is enough to make your palms sweat - and your bank account empty.

  • Help! My New Car Financing Has Eaten My Raise!
    Let’s take a look at the facts: Housing prices are rising at a clip of 10-15% per year, tuition costs are rising by an average of 10% each fall, and energy costs - well, the average rise in prices depends on the week you happen to be looking at, but double-digit increases have been the norm for the past few years. And now, the really depressing fact: Average wage increases have hovered between a measly 3 and 4 percent for the past three years. Now what, you ask, does any of this have to do with car financing?

    Let’s face it: Some dental plans aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on, and they certainly aren’t worth the money you are shelling out every month for coverage.
