7 Ways To Reduce Debt Quickly

7 Ways To Reduce Debt Quickly

Everyone wants to reduce debt, right? Sure, but good things never come easy. Becoming financially free takes hard work. But, if you want to reduce debt, I’ve got 7 ways to free up enough cash to start on the
If you’re not familiar with the debt snowball, I’ll give you a quick tutorial. The basic concept of the debt snowball is to take an extra $200 per month and apply it to the debt with the lowest balance. After the first debt is paid off, you then take the $200 plus the amount that you were paying on the first debt to conquer the second debt. Then one day you find that you are debt free!
Some of these ideas are a little crazy, but getting out of debt is a crazy thing to do (at lease that’s what the American culture will tell you.) To Achieve something crazy, you have to get crazy.
So without further ado, I present 7 ways to financial freedom:

Quit Smoking

I know you love smelling like charcoal, but cigarettes are expensive. Smoking a pack a day at $4 bucks a pop adds up to a tidy $120 a month.

Cut The CableCable

can be a big expense. My cable bill, which includes phone, internet and television, is nearly $130 per month. Cutting cable will get you well on your way to having an extra $200 per month.

Eat At Home

Even cheap restaurants can be expensive for a family of 4. You’ll be doing well to get out of there for under $40. Cut that weekly trip out and you’ll save a nice $120 per month.

Loose Your Cell

PhoneDo you really need it? Your gut reaction is yes, but unless you were born after 1985, you’ve probably lived the majority of your life without a cell phone.

Skip Starbucks

This one hurts me. I love my grande mocha lattes which come in at $3.34 with tax. One of those a day adds up to just over $100 per month. In my book, that’s a lot of money for coffee.

Drop The Paper

Do you really need your morning paper? You can watch the news for free on television and you can read it online at

Take a Second Job

Who wants a second job? Well you do if you aren’t willing to cut some expenses to find your $200. If you can’t cut expenses you have to increase your income. Look for something small and simple. Try delivering papers (it’s not just for kids on bicycles,) doing some yard work for neighbors, or getting a part-time job at McDonald’s. You may have to suck up some pride, but it will be worth it in the end.
There are literally hundreds of ideas to reduce expenses. If you’re really serious about becoming debt free then either use one of these ideas or think up your own and get started on the

This Article considers the constitutional status of state punitive damage judgments and the particular obligation that sister-states have to enforce them. Part I considers the legality of measures recently enacted by the tobacco companies' home states to delay enforcement of the judgment in Engle. This discussion will show that, contrary to the public protestations of many legal scholars, those states properly exercised their authority under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution when they acted to defer enforcement of the Engle judgment while it is appealed through the Florida courts. Part II of this Article considers whether there is any obligation under the Full Faith and Credit Clause to enforce sister-state judgments for punitive damages. According to Supreme Court precedent dating back to the nineteenth century, "penal" judgments are not entitled to full faith and credit. While the penal judgment rule has not seen great service in recent decades, its reexamination is timely. First, there is widespread agreement that modern punitive damages awards no longer serve the compensatory purposes they served at the time the Full Faith and Credit Clause was ratified: Punitive damages now serve the quasi-criminal purposes of deterrence and punishment, and are therefore penal in nature. Second, an increasing number of states have reaffirmed the penal role of punitive damages by appropriating a share of the plaintiff's punitive award. Such shared recovery laws emphasize that punitive awards now vindicate "public wrongs," and so fulfill the historical purpose of penal laws. This Article contends, however, that the penal judgment rule should not be extended to permit the denial of full faith and credit to judgments for punitive damages. Notwithstanding the linguistic similarity in the epithets penal judgments and punitive damages, the concepts address quite different concerns. Further, application of the penal judgment rule to punitive damages awards would serve no state or litigant interest not already addressed by other constitutional provisions - particularly the Due Process Clause. For these reasons, courts should not revivify the penal judgment rule to address contemporary problems posed by punitive damages awards. This Article concludes that the Constitution offers defendants who suffer the imposition of catastrophic verdicts like that in Engle a measure of protection. States may, and after Engle should, eliminate appellate bond requirements for punitive awards when there is no reason to suspect that the judgment debtor will intentionally dissipate its assets. This approach will leave intact appellate bond requirements for compensatory damages, and thus secure the judgment creditor's right to be made whole for his losses. At the same time, judgment debtors need not face the prospect of bankruptcy, or exorbitant settlement, simply because they cannot post security for an aberrant, punitive verdict like that in Engle. The Supreme Court has emphasized the critical role of appellate courts in policing unconstitutionally excessive punitive verdicts, and that role can only be fulfilled if the appellate process is affordable. Realistic appellate bond requirements, however, are only part of the solution. Engle sounds a grave warning. The current system of tort law increasingly "commits the fate of an entire industry or, indeed, the fate of a class of millions, to a single jury."The constellation of interests affected by mass tort litigation--injured persons, consumers, states, national industries, and local economies - exceeds the competence of a single jury or single state court to resolve. A national solution is needed, and by default the task of devising that solution falls on Congress.

Reverse Mortgages

Reverse Mortgages

Some Important Reverse Mortgage Information
Reverse mortgage loans were introduced in the United States in 1989. Since then, almost 20,000 seniors in the country have acquired reverse mortgage loans. This article would give you some important reverse mortgage information.
Reverse mortgages are also termed as home equity conversion mortgages. In case of a reverse mortgage, home owners are able to keep the ownership of their houses and at the same time, receive a lump sum payment, or in some instances, a monthly payment from the lender. If the home owners shift to another place or expire, ownership of the house is obtained by the lender unless the elderly borrowers or their inheritors repay the loan. The home owners also have the option of selling the house and use the sale proceeds to pay off the lender.
Obviously, reverse mortgages are not meant for everybody. They might turn out to be expensive and a senior home owner might only find out 30%-80% of his home’s value with a reverse mortgage. The service charges and closing costs related to a reverse mortgage may vary from 20 dollars to 30 dollars every month. Some reverse mortgages bear adjustable interest rates and some fixed interest rates. Reverse mortgages are offered to you in various forms. You can get reverse mortgage information from different websites including FHA (Federal Housing Administration) and HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development).
