Why do electric utilities either not take credit cards for payment or charge ridiculously large surcharges ($5) to do so? I’ve gotten into the habit of paying most of my bills via credit cards due to the cash back/skymiles. Every single company (phone/cable/etc) gladly take them, EXCEPT the power company. They send you […]
Investing 201: Given the economic news of late, If the value of my mutual funds drop and the interest rate of my debts go up would it be prudent to liquidate the mutual funds to pay off my debts or should I “stay the course” despite this?
Financial details inside… OK so I have about […]
I need a solution to accept credit cards on the go. I’m starting a side-business as a computer geek, and because of the size of projects that I hope to get it would be useful to accept credit cards. I know that there’s e-shop options like PayPal’s virtual terminal, but I’d like to find […]
Is it possible to take out huge sums of money as cash advances and then flee the country?
Don’t worry, I have zero interest in actually doing this, but I was talking to a friend who claimed that one could apply for a bunch of credit cards at once, max them all out, and then skip […]
3-5 times a week, every week, I receive promotional offers from American Express (with whom I am a current cardholder). How do I get them to stop? The mailings vary, mostly they’re offers of new cards. I don’t even open them anymore- I just tear them up and throw them away, because I have supposedly […]

Should I dispute the adverse item on my credit report or just pay it off? Also, will a balance transfer help or hurt me? Last July I moved and closed my account with my old cable company. I returned the equipment and paid the balance. I got a notice saying I owed them $69 but […]
A website I programmed got hacked. Credit card numbers were compromised. What do I do now? I found the security hole and plugged it up, but at least one or two credit cards have already been stolen. There are a few hundred orders (less than 300) in the system. According to the error logs there […]

I have this money-making idea in mind, and I wanted to test its potential viability and profitability with some of you who may know more about banking and credit cards… So my idea is pretty simple. For starters, I have great credit. My plan is to take out a couple new credit cards […]
Electronic signature capture devices are not designed to allow someone to accurately sign them. So why not switch from using my signature to an easy to draw secret symbol? Many stores now have electronic signature capture devices on their Point of Sale devices. I find it silly to try and use my actual […]

I am considering selling off most of my assets to pay some of my debts, and want some outside advice on if I should. I’ll try to be as brief as possible.
Current income is about $28K per year; there is reason to believe that will improve shortly, but nothing promised.
Assets:
