Open your mind (Part 2)

07.30.2008 by Bob 8 comments

Getting out of Debt Part 2…I have found that when I am challenged by something, I either open my mind to the possibility of it or I don’t. If I do open my mind to it, then I have to count the cost to decide if I want to do it. If so, the last and often easiest step is to just do it.

Scour review | The search engine that pays

07.25.2008 by Bob 15 comments

Scour is a search engine that has two distinct advantages over Google…The results are voted on by other users. So, in theory, only the best stuff should come up to the top of the list.

Looking at the points system, it will take quite a while before you ever get enough points for a gift card. That’s okay I am more interested in it’s search capabilities.

What happens to my gift card if the retailer goes bankrupt? You might have heard about the recent bankruptcies of Bombay, Sharper Image, and Linens-N-Things. Well, I hope you don’t have a gift card for one of them still sitting in your drawer. According to the recent issue of Money Magizine, you are not likely to get anything from them. It is possible that you could get a fraction of what it was worth, but not very likely.
