Showing this weekend at a movie theater near you: credit card advice

Thank you!! That was my thought while reading this!

I needed to cut all my expenses because my hours were cut back at work. One area that was an obvious choice to check out was auto insurance. The problem was that all the ads I saw claimed that each company was the cheapest. I found a web site, Http://tiny.cc/FreeQuickQuotes  that quickly took my info and within a few minutes I had quotes from all the reliable insurance companies. It didn't cost me anything and now I'm saving over $60 a month for out 2 cars.

that's ridiculous, the main reason our government is in this financial mess is because of our excessive spending of money we don't have. it's a chain reaction, when they're expecting money from us, and don't receive it, then they have nothing to spend themselves. someone obviously needs to tell people how to use their credit cards because the privilege has been greatly abused. it's our spending that's forced us into this economical downfall, not just the government's, and it's ignorance like yours that prevents us from making any sort of improvement.

The government isn't 'dictating' anything in the ad..They are simply giving a cautionary note BECAUSE of the financial woes the country is in. The ad isn't telling us that they are enacting legislation that will limit what we can use our credit cards to purchase. I think this ad is necessary, just think of the dumb-heads who used FEMA's Katrina Relief credit cards at liquor stores and strip clubs.

..I'm just sayin'!!!

The FED is not a government agency. The FED is a collection of banks who controls the United States money supply. I am sure we, as citizens, fund this organization's ad but not thru taxes.

Tara, You should not talk about economics or the real estate debacle if you do not know what you are talking about. First, Most of 'those people' bought houses they COULD afford you moron. What they could NOT afford was they scams the mortgage brokers and lenders were running, the escalating interest rates that they could NOT refinance like they were told they COULD refinance, when the time came. Many people are carrying credit card debt they never carried before because they don't have jobs did that ever occur to you you impudent know it all brat? As for the cerdit card companies, the sky high interest rates of 28% and the 'settling of debts' again you are dead wrong. These credit card companies do NOT want people to settle debt. Not if they can keep you paying forever. They want these extra cash cow dollars to invest in the real estate market. That's right they are now out there investing in the real estate market benefiting from the misery they caused so many in America. *** Nimrodr,*** you are also an ill informed idiot, there is no government owned health bill. There are however lawmakers, (GOVERNMENT) who are wholly owned by the insurance companies you seem to be defending. Are you one of the people on the insurance company payrolls? Who pays for your insurance? If you would read or listen if you can not read you might see or hear how many programs of waste, or hands getting greased that would stop with insurance reform. On top of that people would stop getting cheated. Nimroder, I hope you get cancer so you can see how the system works.
The rest of you idiots go play on the freeway.

Really! Getting advice from the government about spending is like asking Michael Moore how to lose weight.

Where did you learn to spell?

HELEN - How are credit card companies financially or morally responsible for anything the government *or* credit consumers do, wisely or unwisely? Get out of Bailout Mind. And turn off caps lock, it's located between [Left Shift] and [Tab].
