Guaranteed Extra Cash Online

For college students and other people who feel burned out trying to balance paying the bills and living at the same time, ads like these can prove to be irresistible. Many of them make perfect sense and easily hook you based on good concepts. Unfortunately, many times the product or service does not match the brilliance of a great idea for making money from home or through the Internet. As I’ve learned myself, the further you go down this road, the more excited you get. You basically get hooked, and if you aren’t careful, you will end up working hard and falling further into debt than you can imagine. Much like gambling, the lure of easy money and independence can make just about anyone fall prey to work at home scams that feed off your dreams to get to your wallet so they can go on to the next victim. Hopefully, you will never fall victim to these scam artists. However, the fact of the matter is that these scammers would not be wasting their time if they were not making any money.

The best way to keep a scammer’s claws away from your credit card is to do thorough research on each opportunity that you are considering. This means doing much more than simply reading a bit about it online. In my personal experience, I have been taken by companies who were savvy enough to pollute the Internet with staged testimonials, guarantees, questionable references to big name endorsements, and even appearances in the Better Business Bureau.

A loan is a type of debt. This article focuses exclusively on monetary loans, although, in practice, any material object might be lent. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of financial assets over time, between the lender and the borrower.
It is commonly believed that the borrower initially receives an amount of money from the lender, to be paid back, usually but not always in regular installments, to the lender. In fact, the lender, whether a bank or credit card company, does not provide any cash to the borrower, but simply extends “credit.” [1] The lender does this by making a credit entry into the financial account (e.g. savings or checking) of the borrower; the value of this credit is equal to the amount of the loan. At the same time, the bank, for example, marks the loan as a liability in one part of their accounting system, and an asset in another part. The amount of the asset is equal to the amount of money the borrower promises to pay back, known as the principal.
In this way, the bank or other lending institution creates money, which the borrower is now free to “spend.”more...
