Bankruptcy doesn't mean you aren't able to get credit. After bankruptcy most people are bombarded by banks and others with offers for Mastercards, Visas and car loans.  Don't take them as credit debt is probably what caused the mess in the first place.

Western Union brags that charging you $5 to send $50 is a good deal. Actually it’s a 10% charge for doing nothing! Don’t fall for it. Get a checking account at a bank or a credit union and send a check in the mail for 44 cents instead.

The average American will make almost $1 million in lifetime earnings.  $400,000 will be paid to banks for interest on credit cards, home mortgages and car loans.   Avoid as much bank interest as you can and use that $400,000 for yourself and your investments.

Last night, even though a majority of Senate members voted to pass the Jobs Bill, Senate Republicans used their filibuster power to defeat the bill.  Democrats were in favor of the bill (51 out of 53 dems voted “yes”) while every single Republican voted “no”.
