Salvaging your credit rating after Xmas

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

If there is one time of the year that people are bound to feel the pinch and spend money that they simply cannot afford it has to be Xmas time. Very often we pull out the credit card in the shops just knowing full well that we are already way over stretched financially and, if you are like me, you’ve crossed your fingers and prayed that the transaction would go through. When it does you breath a sigh of relief and then go on to the next store and repeat the process. This is how we all get into difficulties credit-wise and while we must accept responsibility for own actions it is no great crime as Xmas time is simply a time when we have to spend.

There will be a lot of people right now just dreading those credit card statements that arrive in the post in January and most will not be able to make their repayments…some will even find that their line of credit will be cancelled. But still, more expenses lie waiting around the corner and we have to look for solutions and fast.These days there is plenty of help available in the form of bad credit loans and they are designed to assist people who need to salvage their credit rating.

There is another year ahead and the best way to start off on the right foot is to consider your options and start planning. Don’t ignore your situation any longer but on the same note don’t assume that all is lost; these loans are designed to get you back on track and with the right attitude and committment from yourself you can start looking forward to the next Xmas and maybe not dread the following January quite so much as now.

Yet another promise of ‘youth’ in a jar

There seems to be a never ending supply of creams and potions that promise to make the user look ‘20 years younger’ on a seemingly endless assembly line. Just recently British women were falling over each other to get their hands on a pot of ‘Athena’ which was being hailed as a miracle maker for the face. In reality it was like smearing egg white all over your face and as soon as you smiled it cracked and your face looked like it was peeling. Still, people paid big money for it and were disappointed soon after. I wonder how many pots are sitting at the back of bathroom cabinets today?

Now there is yet another ‘miracle’ on the market, it promises to make you look ‘20 years younger’ (why is it always 20 years?)…and it comes from Russia. It is supposed to be the secret that Russian women have kept to themselves for ages and now, because they are such a generous lot - the Russians - they are sharing this ’secret’ with the rest of the worlds aging and desperate females. I have a small misgiving here…Russian women are not exactly known for their peachy baby-soft complexions. The Russian women I have met and seen look their age with a vengeance - no offence intended but I reckon they are a product of their harsh wintry climate.

But no doubt western women in their thousands will rush out and stock up on this latest product and then wonder what on earth possessed them to do it when they wake up looking no younger than they did the day before. By the way, if many people get out the photo album and take a look at how they actually looked 20 years ago would they really see that much difference? Only if you’re 18 or 20 years of age. Once you’re over the age of 50 what’s 20 years anyway…and what’s the use of a face that’s ‘younger’ when the areas below the neck certainly wont match!
