Who can use an Interest Free Credit Card?

By Admin | Dec 13, 2011

Credit cards with 0% interest are hugely popular with lots of people, but why is this the case? It’s widely assumed that these cards come with some good benefits, but are there any specific people who could benefit from using one of them?

Generally, credit cards with 0% interest are useful for people who like to spread out their credit card payments over several months. If you are someone who pays off their balance in full every month then the interest free introductory period is unlikely to affect you, as you won’t be building up any interest on your balance anyway.

However, many people do like to space out payments, either paying the minimum amount every month or another amount that works for them. As long as you keep up with your minimum obligations (these will be made clear to you by your credit card company), this is absolutely fine but with any other type of credit card, interest will start to build up – and this has to be paid back, too.

By contrast, if you have an interest free credit card then you’ll get an initial period where you aren’t charged any interest on your purchases. The lengt Read more…

The Simple Power of Delight

By Thomas Lee | Jan 23, 2012

My friend and super-talented art director and illustrator, Soren Thieleman, sent me this text the other morning:

“Good morning Bruce. I’m at a small café in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea and the door handle put a smile on my face. I haven’t tasted the food or had a sip of their coffee yet but I already like this place. It’s the power of a first impression and the impact of a creative surprise.”

I like this place too. Certainly enough to copy the name into the restaurant list on my iPhone and write a blog post about it.

What I like the most is not just the attention to detail of the door handle but the obvious delight that went into creating and sharing it.

Delight is such a simple thing to enjoy but seems so hard to create, especially in a commercial environment. And yet, w

Used Car Loan FAQ

By Kenneth Moore | Jan 18, 2012

Purchasing a used car with a loan is very similar to using a loan to purchase a new car. The main difference is that many used car dealers are able to provide financing for people who present a higher credit risk. If you have been thinking about a used car loan, the following FAQ may help you make a more informed decision.

Is it More Expensive to Finance through a Dealer?

Direct dealer financing usually carries a higher interest rate than financing through a lending institution. Borrowing from the dealership is not always the most stable way to finance a car, either. If the dealership should close or relocate while you are still paying off your loan, your loan may be transferred to a different lending institution with different regulations. It is also difficult to refinance a loan held through a dealership.

The Face of Bank Failure in America

By Thomas Lee | Jan 11, 2012

The Face of Bank Failure in America

Bank failures have reached 87 for 2011. This number is rather low compared with previous years since the banking crisis began in 2008. The year 2010 saw 157 failures and 2009 saw 140. When you compare 2011 with prior years you could say that things are getting better. Though, 87 banks crashing in 11 months are not saying much.

Bank failure is being seen all over America. The dollar amount attached to the bank failures for this year alone equals $2000 for every man, woman and child in America.

Are bank failures becoming routine or are we becoming complacent?
