If I'd won the $25, and invested it at a good interest rate, I wouldn't hav
2008-08-14 16:59:00 As kids, we used to go about one time a month to Bingo night at the Church. Churches don't do Bingo anymore; it's all been taken over, I think, by casinos and online gambling and stuff.We loved Bingo night, though. It was a fun time to spend with not just mom and dad, but also aunts and uncles and cousins that came. We could play our own cards, and while the stakes weren't all that high, they were high enough for 10 year olds -- winning $25 as a kid is a lot of money.The final game of the night was always "Blackout," where you had to cover every number on your card. I loved "Blackout," because it was so tense. I'd be 1 or 2 or 3 numbers away from covering the card, and each number that was called out, I could feel everyone in the bingo hall hold their breath, waiting to hear someone yell "Bingo!"Bingo night at church may be a thing of the past, but there's something that's keeping it alive: Disney Bingo on DVD.

Mortgage Interest Rate History, and a Change for the Future Posted By : Ed
2008-05-21 08:47:00 The most overlooked fact about the current economy in the U.S. is the very healthy levels we enjoy on mortgage rates.

It addresses the ways in which individuals or families obtain, budget, save and spend monetary resources over time, taking into account various financial risks and future life events. Components of personal finance might include checking and savings accounts, credit cards and consumer loans, investments in the stock market, retirement plans, social security benefits, insurance policies, and income tax management.
