Posted by Gregory Young at Apr 14, 2010 | No Comments »

According to the article “State Farm Asks Toyota to Repay Acceleration Claims” by Sharon Silke Carty on USAToday.com, State Farm Auto Insurance has asked Toyota to repay them for any accidents related to uncontrolled acceleration in Toyota recalled cars. They have already paid for these claims and want to be reimbursed.

The Necessity Of Business School

Posted by Gregory Young at Apr 12, 2010 | No Comments »

School in general has become a much more expected and in my opinioned marketed thing than it was in the past. So it is no surprise that the question of the necessity of business school come up fairly regularly. What does surprise me is that people that are business minded are so easily swayed into believing that formal training in business (the quality of which I often question) is necessary to make it in the fast pace business that comes with a globalizing market and the information age that we live in. The question remains, however, and I want to point out two things that will hopefully answer it. They are myths of business school that are often cited but have little evidence to back them up.

The first is that you receive an education in business school that will prepare you for the real world. It is my contention however that you really don’t learn the bulk of what it takes to thrive in business sitting in a classroom listening to the lecture. W

A house is the most important thing when we want to make a family. For many people, having their own house is a must because having their own house means they have their own life and no one can interrupt their life. However finding a good house can be difficult these days. It is because of the financial crisis we have today makes the mortgage rise up the price of houses higher than usual. Sometimes when we finally find the price we like, the condition of the house doesn’t meet our requirements.

Asking for a Pay Raise Guideline

Posted by Gregory Young at Apr 11, 2010 | No Comments »

In today’s economy, most people are lucky enough if they don’t receive a pay cut much less be able to ask for a raise. Some are working harder than ever just to hold onto their jobs. Layoffs due to budget shortages abound. Still, it never hurts to ask. Just remember to be polite, understanding and flexible. These are difficult times we are going through that require special consideration.

In this economy, it’s natural to not want to “push it” by asking for the raise you probably deserve. You don’t want to rock the boat, shift the status quo or end up in the unemployment lines. However, you’ll get more if you pitch the question first. The bottom line is be flexible.

Avoid Getting Trapped By Credit Cards

Posted by Gregory Young at Apr 11, 2010 | No Comments »

With the United States steeped in its worse recession since the 1930s, credit worries everyone with a wallet or pocketbook. Increasing layoffs, declining benefits and escalating co-pays, and depressed investments have everybody concerned, and many people are beginning to wonder how they will afford their bills. Swiping that credit card loses its universal appeal as consumers worry about being lost in a tornado storm of debt. Yet credit cards are not necessarily evil. They can be tools or weapons, depending on how responsibly you use them. If used right, credit cards can even pay you back.

Although they can be useful, they can also be temptations that can ruin your credit. The average American faces over $8,000 in debt. That’s a huge chunk of change to swallow, but it’s easy to accumulate without noticing. When you use a card, you hardly think about it because the transaction is electronic. Han

Save On Your Next Car Rental

Posted by Gregory Young at Apr 11, 2010 | No Comments »

When you’re vacationing farther away than it takes to drive there, you’ll most likely opt for a car rental. If you plan to do any amount of driving and public transportation isn’t a viable option, car rental offers a cheap alternative that beats borrowing the neighborhood kid’s skateboard. The trick to keeping cool on expenses is to add up the discounts like a DJ in a used record store.

Start with a search for the all the deals you can find. Several sites that often feature savings include:
Sidestep.com
Kayak.com
Expedia.com
Cheaptickets.com
Travelcity.com

The catch is that many of these require you to pick up and drop off from the same location. If you plan to drive the car to a new location, you’ll need to make sure that the company allows that.

Try a rental agency network or research options on the web

Rental agencies are good connections to have, like being in a club with special benefits. Often you
