I prefer to answer only public questions so all can benefit . there is a donation button.but its not necessary for you to donate to ask me a question. if you want to donate. it will go to my daughters education fund and I thank you. Questions related to credit card management and use of credit to achieve your financial goals I have found on google that my screename has been linked to some garbage financial sites, that I have nothing to do with Please ask me to verify this if you are not sure and let me know who is making any claims so i can sue their asses off this is my website or my blog http://www.geocities.com/tbaarr/night_vision.html http://www.tbaarr.blogspot.com/

Experience in the area

i own over 10 credit cards

8 of these have credit limits over 10k and i use 2 of them to invest with

i have the balance as a fixed life of the loan balance transfer

and make 10 points profit on the money

Organizations

none

I retired doing this in 1996

and wish to pass on my experience. BE aware I got married in 1998 and started Driving Rig in 2004 so that I could get affordable quality Heath insurance for my family as I now have 2 beautiful daughters 4 and 8 as of aug 2007, so I may take longer to answer som questions. i cover such subjects as, my approach to credit, how to establish and maintain multiple accounts, how i get single digit life of the loan balance transfers, how i use their money for 45 days interest free, how i use credit cards to invest for 30% a year profit, and how i maintain a 650+ credit rating while holding 5 or more accounts. I challege anyone have me compare any answer, that suze orman gives on her tv show, to what i would suggest as i find her answers just plain incompetant, especially when she states that borrowing money from an ira causes you to pay double taxation. Thats just plain wrong

Education/Credentials

outsourced electrical engineer with a calculus background

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

So please feel free to give me suze ormans answer and question, as challenging her answers is fun. She reminds me of the statement, warning start brain before engaging mouth

2011-07-26 Money:

might I suggest you get a second credit card that offers cashback and gives you 0% interest on purchases for the 1st year.  pay all your bills on the 0% card and take the cash and kill the interest card

2011-07-22 Money:

Ok does the 1200 include the credit card payment.. what is the interest rate of that card.. how much does your guy make on unemployment and how much is his net after child support.. I see 2080 income minus

2011-03-29 Government Loan/Credit PAy-Off:

the only thing I can say to do is try to negotiate with your current cards while applying for a new card or 2. don't go for those high fee cards either. the idea here is to start your own debt consolidation

2011-03-04 401k:

well currently I have 60k on cards at between 3.9% to 5.9%  all fixed life of the loan. 5 years ago they were over 100k.. I make 10-15k profit off em each year and15 years ago I used them to start a car

2011-03-03 401k:

What are your monthly bills at this time. Does your job cover those monthly bills and give you money to save. Never touch a 401k unless absolutely necessary do to the tax issues.       if you can save
