My broker, a man I consider to be very well informed, agrees that the market is not coming back anytime soon. However, I continue to invest because there are bargains out there. Remember, many people who invested during the depression wound up very wealthy. The big caveats are that investors must be very selective and should not invest money they may need in the next 2-3 years. Interesting point of view.

]]> Comment on How To Fight Back Against Collection Agencies by Marie http://www.brokeass-student.com/how-to-fight-back-against-collection-agencies/#comment-43820 Marie Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:06:48 +0000 http://www.brokeass-student.com/how-to-fight-back-against-collection-agencies/#comment-43820 Hi, I have a question. I live in PA and am being sued in civil court for an old credit card debt. I want to work on this debt. It is around $3000 but that includes interest, attorney fees, etc. I believe the original debt was around $2000 or less. Anyway, what is the best way to approach this collection agency before the court date to set up payment terms. I know they can not garnish my wages in PA, but can they take my car, even if I am still making payments on it. It is really my only asset, as my bank account is negilible. I do not own anything else or have hidden accounts, etc. I am only asking in case we can not come up with a payment plan. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Hi,

Usually I buy them from the bulk candy section super cheap AND they have less calories than a stick of gum. I've also heard shea butter is great for the skin (have never tried though) I LOVE jelly beans!!

It layers the skin to trap moisture in, so essentially letting your skin moisturize itself. But I -love- shea butter in its place :) I've heard castor oil helps your eyelashes grow, as well. I use ACV on my face as well to combat the trouble areas I had for pimples (usually along the jawline or chin). I wet a rag with two capfulls of vinegar and then dampen it with water and wipe it over my face every morning after I shower. I haven't had a problem since :) Some great tips!

I know the interview heres a bit old but I still think its quite relevant for young people today. The baby boomers will be retiring soon and it's up to this new generation and our grandchildren to cope with this current American deficit mess.
