Have you more month left than you have money?

March 31st, 2008

If that sounds like you then one option that you could consider is a payday loan.

The online payday loan market is massive, but what’s a payday loan anyway?

Basically, it’s a short term loan that’s given to you with the intention that it’s repaid out of your next paycheck. In practice, that means that it can seem quite an expensive option if you look at the annual interest rate that you’d pay but, of course, you’re only borrowing the money over a period of a few weeks.

Since it is a fairly short-term loan, it’s pretty easy to get one and you just need to meet a few simple criteria:

  1. You need to be over 18 and living in the United States. 
  2. You need to have a regular income of at least $1000 per month ($800 if the income is from a government scheme);
  3. You need to have an active savings or checking account that can receive the money.

The process of getting the loan is usually very fast and most sites offering the scheme are “faxless” these days (ie you don’t need to fax them any documents).

As the costs are quite high for these loans, it’s best to investigate other possiblities first.

What about golfing in Las Vegas?

March 18th, 2008

Las Vegas is one of those places that seems to have everything that you could possibly be looking for in a holiday.

Las Vegas golf vacations are no different with courses set in fantastic scenery like this at Paiute Resort. That’s just one of many courses that you can book golf packages with via the Las Vegas Golf Authority which offers great deals on all of the top courses in the area.

One big plus point of golfing here is that Las Vegas is close by all of the resorts so it’s easier to persuade the family that it’s a great place for everyone to go to.
