Take a quick peek at the Iowa State Fair on the Mullings Blog.
Take a look. It's pretty good.
"� College Kids & Credit Cards ...": Here's the link to the Ventura County Star's look at how quickly college students are getting into financial trouble.
"� Credit Card Calculator ...": This may make your blood run cold. You plug in your balance, your interest rate and the amount per month and it calculates how many months - or generations - it will take to pay off that card.
Then do it with all of your cards.
"� Foxnews.com ...": Here's the link to the Marketwatch piece on credit card debt.
"� Payday Loans ...": Here's the link to the WashPost piece on the payday loan industry in Washington, DC.
"� Personal Disclosure ...": " I know whereof I speak: In 1984, after the Republican National Convention, the desk clerk at a hotel in Dallas snipped my American Express card in half and a colleague had to put my room bill on his credit card.
Mullfoto of the Day
At the Iowa State Fair. Who do you think first thought of this? And why? Musta been a cardiologist.
Catchy Caption of the Day
Actual Caption:
Air guitarist Erin 'McNallica' McNally competes in the US Air Guitar National Finals at The Fillmore Thursday, Aug. 16, 2007 in New York. Andrew 'William Ocean' Litz went on to win and will represent the United States at the Air Guitar World Championship in Olou, Finland in September.
Wait. What? There's an AIR GUITAR contest? What does the winner get - a Joe Cocker wind-up doll?
