Calculators: Credit Card - moneymanager.com.au

Calculators: Credit Card - moneymanager.com.au


One of the handiest things on the internet are the calculators that are available to compare different interest rates, weights, measures, currency etc. And I often Google up a calculator to work out distances or relative dimensions and the like, but I've never seen a calculator that shows how payments to credit cards will compare, when you alter the minimum monthly payment for example, with the time it would take to pay that amount owing back.

In the example that I selected, $7,000 since I understand that is supposedly the average credit card debt in the US currently (check the figures if you wish, this is a guide, not verified), at at a rate of 17.5% which is relatively low, the payment time is 28 years. Naturally this assumes that nothing else is added to the card ;-)

Check it out.

Blogs Will Change Your Business

Think your business is not one that needs to be on the internet? Might be time to learn a bit more on how blogs have become incorporated into the larger "how people do things" scope of life.

Here is a great article with some interesting links to get you up to speed on a topic that isn't "optional" to know about any longer, if you are in business.

A Letter from an Unwilling Cook - 101 Cookbooks

A Letter from an Unwilling Cook - 101 Cookbooks

This came into my browser today and amused me greatly. For quite a while now I have thought that entering the life coaching experience from the point of view of the newly single man would be a good idea - and starting with How To Eat Well, Without A Wife. So much of our identity can be bruised when we find ourselves single, and matters are made worse when there are practical issues involved, like How To Eat Well - when you don't know an egg from an eggplant.

Maybe I will put that on my To Do list for my next website. Cooking, Living and Fresh Starts. It occurs to me that the same thing would be valid for women who are Bloke Challenged and don't know how to do those blokey things around the house. Of course, many of the men I know are a bit challenged that way too ... ;-)
