credit card

I heard that there’s a credit card with a miles reward, and every use of the credit card you’ll earn points and you can use the points to get a free plane ticket. What kind of credit card is that? I only have a BOA Credit Card, and planning to have another credit card.

Assuming there is an impending US recession in the next few years, how should I invest my money now so that I won’t be affected?

CDs, commodities and foreign markets?

My house in California is currently in foreclosure. I have a 1st and a 2nd mortgage as well as a 3rd, seller note. What happens at the foreclosure auction? What happens if there isn’t enough funds to pay off the leins? What if any steps should I take?

I am trying to get a student loan, because I need to be able to pay for an apartment and need to get a new vehicle. I am working but I’m only making minimum wage and its not enough. How do i get a student loan that will send me the money instead of the school?

Because I hear recession goes in cycles and prices will rise again, so is smart to buy an extra house or 2 during a recession?

I have terrible credit!! The only card that I am able to sign up for is a pre-pay card where I basically borrow my own money. I need to establish good credit somehow any suggestions?

student loan

I am at the final stage of paying off credit card balances. Just one more month, yippee!!!! I’ve also already paid off my car loan 7 months before the maturation date. Anyway, I still have close to $50,000 in student loan debts- federal and private. But that’s it. I have never had any major credit problems. Will all this student loan debt have a negative impact on my credit score and rating?
I always make the payments on time every month.

I purchased a foreclosure in June 2008. I know the Foreclosure Prevention Act underwent many revisions. Does anyone know if the final version which the President is expected to sign still includes the provision for the $7000 tax credit for the purchase of owner occupied foreclosed homes? I am not a first time homebuyer.

During a recession, gas price goes down because people drive less. The cost of consumer goods also goes down because the cost of transportating those goods is less, and because people spend less money and buy less. This makes consumer goods more affordable for poor people who still have jobs. Agree or disagree?
