Pet Health Insurance - How to Get the Cheapest Price Possible
By Alexis Jensen

Americans love their pets. In fact, most Americans treat their pets the same way they would treat any other member of their family. That's a good thing. Pets look to humans for love and care and they deserve the best we can give them. However, when a pet becomes ill or is injured, the cost of caring for that animal can sometimes be almost as much as the cost of caring for a human. And that's where pet health insurance comes in. Fortunately there's a simple way for you to get your pet health insurance at wholesale prices.

Before we get to the Big Secret that many pet insurance brokers hope you'll never learn, let's talk about a few other simple things you can do that can lower the cost of your pet's coverage even further.

For example, did you know that it can cost $12 to $15 or even more to prepare and mail a bill to you each and every month? That's a huge expense that you end up paying for. At least you do unless you're smart and set up an auto pay plan. If you pay your premium directly out of your bank account every month then you save your company the expense of mailing you a bill and they are only too happy to pass that savings along to you.

Did you know that pets in America are showing the same signs of obesity as the majority of humans? And did you know that an obese animal is less healthy, less happy and that it costs more to insure an overweight pet? Watch what you feed your pet. Table scraps may seem innocuous but when fed to your pet consistently they can add a lot of unwanted fat to your pet's diet and cause all sorts of health issues - health issues that can end up costing you a lot of cash!

So do your pet a favor. Your pet will look better, feel better and live longer - not to mention saving you money on pet insurance - if you don't feed it from your table.

Increasing the deductible for your pet's policy will lower your monthly premium payment. Just make sure that you have the resources available to actually pay the deductible you've chosen.

But the biggest way to save some serious money on your pet's health insurance turns out to be the easiest thing in the world for you to do. Just buy your policy online.

Online brokers have almost no overhead and so they are able to offer you discounts that you simply can't believe. There's also lots of competition online and so the only way for your online broker to stay competitive is to cut prices even further.

All of this adds up to a big win for YOU and your pet! Don't hesitate. Get online right now and see for yourself just how much you can save. By this time tomorrow you could easily be paying 25% to 35% less for your pet's health coverage than you are right now.

Protect yourself against a large medical bill for one of your pets unexpected visits. Don’t let yourself be in the position where you need to decide between your finances and your beloved pet. Pet insurance will help protect you from this type of situation. For help on choosing a policy go to www.petinsurancecompanies.info for more information.

My Debt - Help! Get the Answers Here
By Donald Weatherfield

If you avoid thinking about your debt because it's overwhelming, or wonder, "Can I really escape my debt?" then you've come to the right place. Here you'll find a variety of debt solutions you can apply to your life and answers to your most important questions.

Situation: Credit card debt
Solution: Reduce expenses and consolidate debt

Part 1: Reduce expenses

For most people with credit card debt, overspending is the root cause of the problem, so you need to take a two-pronged approach. The first step is to reduce your spending. If you're not sure where you overspend, write down everything you spend for one month. Be specific, for example,

• Shoes, $54.65, Macy's, 2/3
• Food, $16.50, grocery store, 2/4
• Cleaning supplies, $25.50, grocery store, 2/4
• Candy bar, $.75, vending machine, 2/5

At the end of the month, total each category and then see where you can cut. Obviously, you can't scrimp on the rent, but you could make an effort to reduce your electricity bill by turning off the lights when you're not in the room and unplugging unused electronics. You can trim your food bill by using coupons and not buying convenience snacks or sizes.

Part 2: Consolidate debt

Reducing your expenses will give you more money to pay down your debt, but you'll only make true progress if you consolidate your debts to reduce your interest rates. It's hard to see progress when your debt is spread across five credit cards at 20%. If you own a home, consider a home equity loan to consolidate your debt at a much more affordable rate - preferably below 9%. Not only will your debt payments cover more principal, but you may also be able to deduct the interest from your taxes. Use the savings to pay down more debt.

If you don't own a home, consider a credit card balance transfer to a 0% card. Look for one with no transfer fees and aim to pay off the debt before the offer expires. If you don't succeed, transfer it again. You could also opt for a personal loan if you don't qualify for a balance transfer.

Situation: High mortgage payments
Solution: Refinance or sell

The solution to high mortgage payments depends on your situation. If you can afford the payments and maintenance, but feel your interest rate is too high, you should refinance into a lower, fixed rate. If your mortgage is more than you can reasonably afford, then you may have to sell the house and move into a smaller one. Although it's hard to sell a house you love, it's better than going into foreclosure. Contact your lender to explore your options.

Situation: Medical debt - both large and small
Solution: Negotiate for a payment plan or consider bankruptcy

If you have a medical debt that you just need more time to pay, contact the doctor or hospital to request a payment plan. In some cases, they may also be willing to negotiate a lower balance in exchange for regular payments. If you're not comfortable negotiating, a credit counselor or medical bill advocate may be able to help you. For large debts that you'll simply never be able to pay, you may have to consider bankruptcy. Although it's never the best choice, costs for some illnesses are more than anyone can reasonably pay.

For every debt situation, there is a solution. Your first step should always be to reduce expenses where you can. Then you can dedicate more money to paying down debt. Soon, you too can say, "I eliminated my debt."

Millions of people are trying to swim in debt each and everyday. It doesn’t have to be a losing battle. You can get out of the situation with a game plan. A plan that will take sometime to execute, but with some discipline you will win. Remember you are not alone.

How to Find Foreclosure Properties
By Diane Conover

In today's real estate market many homes are facing or have already gone into foreclosure. If you are someone who is looking to start investing in real estate now is the time. There are many ways of obtaining property that have been foreclosed on.

Preforeclosures:

Preforeclosure is the period before the notice of default is filed. There are advantages to buying in the preforeclosure stage over the foreclosure auction:

1) You are given the chance to inspect the property, unlike when you buy at the auction. This provides you with the opportunity to determine the condition of the property and to budget in the cost of repairs. This eliminates any surprises.

2) You will provide the owners a way to keep their current credit standing by avoiding the damage resulting from foreclosure. This will give the owners the incentive to provide you with the best deal for purchasing their home.

3) The terms of sale are more flexible and if the terms are not acceptable to you then you can just walk away.

Foreclosure Auctions:

These are properties that were not sold during preforeclosure. This can be a way to avoid negotiating with the sellers during the preforeclosure stage. There are some disadvantages to purchasing in an auction instead of in a preforeclosure sale.

1) In the preforeclosure stage you work directly with the owners so you will know what to expect. In the foreclosure auction you don't know the type of people you will be going up against.

2) In foreclosure auctions things can get nasty and sometimes even dangerous.

3) In a foreclosure auction the terms are not negotiable and they are final. You are not able to just walk away from the sale because you are not happy with the terms.

REO (Real Estate Owned) Investing:

These are properties that the lenders have taken over after they failed to be sold at a foreclosure auction. The lenders will try to sell these properties as quickly as they can. Banks do not like to hold on to properties very long. Investing in REO properties is great for the first time buyer.

There are other ways to purchase properties that have been defaulted on besides those listed above, such as; Sheriff Sales, Bankruptcies, Tax Liens, etc.

Don’t let the curb appeal of a home fool you. Most foreclosed homes are not a pretty site. However if you know what you are looking for, you can turn a profit very quickly in foreclosures. Investing in foreclosures is a good investment for the future. The average home appreciates at 8% every year. If you purchase a foreclosure at 25% below the market value, that puts the first years rate of profit at above 30%.

How To Find Homes In Pre-Forclosure
By Scott Duncan

The trick to investing in pre-foreclosures is having a systematic process for finding them. I read an article this morning about investing in pre-foreclosures and the authors definition of pre-foreclosure is different than mine. My definition is that a preforeclosure property is in the first of four possible stages, or the period before a notice of default has been filed. The other three stages being the period after the notice of default is filed, the auction and new ownership being the last - which could include the bank. Some might argue that preforeclosure is the period between the time that notice of default is filed and the auction date. Just know that I'm talking about the period before the notice of default and let's leave it at that.

Just by the nature of the stage of preforeclosure they are more difficult to find - the public doesn't know yet because a notice of default has not been filed. The first thing to do is look at the real estate classifieds and realtor advertising for subtle clues. Phrases such as must sell, under market, under appraisal, rent to own, lease option, take over payments, divorce, illness, death, owner carry, motivated seller and nothing down indicate a motivated seller. When you find something interesting then make the contact.

You can actually run an advertisement that targets distressed property owners. Figure out what the hot buttons are and create a small ad to run in the newspapers and even Craigs List.

Start to get the word out about what you are looking for to friends, family, business contacts - network with everyone you know or come into contact with. Have some business cards made up to hand out. I guarantee that someone you know, knows someone that is in distress and needs help.

Drive around neighborhoods and look for homes that appear to be neglected. The first thing to go when a home owner is in distress is the routine maintenance. Jot down addresses and send letters. Or go knock on the door and introduce yourself as someone who is looking to purchase a home in the area and you were wondering if they know of any for sale that may not be on the market.

Use your imagination to dig up the nuggets. It won't be easy but there will be a lot less competition.

Don’t let the curb appeal of a home fool you. Most foreclosed homes are not a pretty site. However if you know what you are looking for, you can turn a profit very quickly in foreclosures. Investing in foreclosures is a good investment for the future. The average home appreciates at 8% every year.
