NCAA As We Approach March Madness

In this Month for basketball lovers, this is the most wonderful time of the year. This Tournament is just not a series of games, only 64 teams can make it. The Tar Heels are seeking a season sweep against their rivals Duke. A win for the Tar Heels will sew thing up for the number 1 seed in the NACC.

A Duke victory can tie for the regular season ACC (Atlantic Coast
Conference) tile. If the Duke blue devils win that will make them a
viable candidate for the number 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.


I think Duke Blue devils will fall to NC Tar Heels. There just notBig enough for the inside game. The Point guards have trouble with fast break defense. I have made my decision .. I am going with the Ty Larson and the Tar Heels with the power inside game of Tyler Hansbrough. Go Tar Heels!

Women More Conscious at Money Matters Than Men

From a recent survey, it is observed that women are more responsible then men in money matter. They're less likely to get into debt and struggle harder to become financially autonomous.

There was a survey polled by the global Reuters Synovate taking some 4,500 women in 12 countries regarding money matters. An equal number of men were also asked a number of questions related to finances.

It was observed from the survey that just over half respondents of both genders said women are more responsible with money than men, with the maximum level of compliance found in Mexico, where 72% of people supposed women were well against handling finances.

Although more than 40% of women utilize part of their monthly earnings to pay off credit cards, some 70% of female respondents also said that having more than one credit card could illustrate the way to financial debt, revealing woman's top consciousness.

Senior vice president of International market research firm of Financial Services in the United States said that "It is clearly not the card itself that causes anyone to use it. So the statement is really about control and temptation". Most of the women believed in their financial capability than men, with 61% saying they were more conscientious, while only 40% of men have the same opinion.

Living a Debt Free Life

There is nothing better than leading a debt free life. With the excessive use of plastic money, staying out of debt is a far cry. There are exceptions though. The debt settlement and debt consolidation industry is gaining prominence with every passing day. The number of consumers opting for debt help is rapidly increasing in number. Instead of living on the edge, and going through all the painstaking rituals of debt help, seek ways never to fall into debt again. Start living a debt free life.

There are many ways in which you can get out of debt. Some of them are mentioned here.

• Avoid payday loans. Payday loans attract very high rate of interest. Do not add to your existing debts. Try not to use credit cards unless they are needed in emergency.


• If you are planning to go for debt settlement or debt consolidation, take the plunge without delaying any further. The sooner you address your debt problems, the better it is.

• Make an emergency fund. You can keep aside some cash every month so that you can use it when you need it the most. Try not to use the emergency cash for buying items that are not required presently.

• Be regular with credit card payments. Don’t allow such a situation to arise where you have to avail loan from one creditor to pay off another creditor.

• Try out all options before you decide to file for bankruptcy. If you are in debt, there are ways to get out of debt and probability of improving your credit score is also high. If you file for bankruptcy, it stays on the credit report for a period of 10 years. It may affect your chances of getting a good job, staying at a place of your choice or bagging a good insurance deal.

• Check your credit report from the 3 credit bureaus. If it contains any inaccurate information, get them rectified.

• Add all your debts and try to solve your debt problems instead of putting it off.

Getting out of debt requires patience, proper guidance and effective debt management skills. A combination of 3 can help you get out of debt.
