The British in Debt?

Posted on March 28, 2008 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Debt that the British had incurred for the last decade has been astonishing $2.8 trillion or 1.4 trillion pounds, according to that New York Times article.

Spending more than one can earn is dangerous. Being in debt is not a good thing. So how would one pay for those debts? With used designer shoes? With foreign holidays already consumed? With used designer clothes? I don’t think so. As if there is still value with these goods that were purchased through credit.

People have things so easily these days, it seems. Children having their own cellphones or laptops. People getting trendy cars and designer clothes and tech gadget that get out of style after a few months. Whatever happened to delayed gratification? Whatever happened to working to earn to be able to buy what one needs or wants?

However and whatever people spend their money on, I think, in my humble opinion, it is better to pay in cash than pay with a plastic card where you end up paying more. Or swimming in debt.

Paper Boxes

Posted on February 19, 2008 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

Paper boxes anyone? Paper boxes are great for organizing knick-knacks around the house or in an office, just label the boxes according to what’s inside and one would not have a hard time looking for what is needed. These can come handy too for gifts, just add a big ribbon or glue some embellishments and a card.

Great for a business venture too.
