Layoff Insurance for Unemployment Mortgage Protection
US Home foreclosures in July, 2008 were up 55% over the previous July, and many Americans are concerned about their financial stability these days. Companies are eliminating positions, and state unemployment benefits will not cover the mortgages, auto loans, and other bills that most families have. That is why many people are planning ahead by looking for mortgage unemployment insurance.
This type of layoff insurance provides a cash benefit. The cash can be used in any way it is needed, and is not tied to one particular debt, like a mortgage, as is the case with many other types of credit insurance. This allows the owner of the benefit to control how it is used, and we believe this control is in the best interest of the consumer, and not just the best interest of lenders.
Layoff insurance offers affordable rates, and can be a valuable financial planning tool for working people.

Avoid Bank Fees That Sneak up On You!
Do you remember using your bank card or credit card somewhere, and being mildly embarassed when the charge was refused because you had either overdrawn your bank account or gone over your credit card limit? Well, I hate to admit it, but I experienced that a time or two in my younger years, especially when I was on vacation.
However, I am much more aware of my bank balance or credit limits these days. And in fact, I try to avoid using credit cards whenever I can. However, I have learned that people do not suffer the embarassment of having charges refused as much these days. In fact, banks and credit card companies will let you overdraw your balance or go over your limit! Why do they do this?
Well, as soon as you overdraw your limit, you start getting slapped with fees, of course! Each one can charge $35, and these things tend to have a snowball effect. i.e. a $4.00 negative balance can cause an $8.00 check to cause a $35 fee. So of course, your next charges will cause more fees, and sometimes the fees can be more than the charges!
The same thing happens with credit cards, and it tends to get even more nasty. You not only have charges, overdraft fees, but your credit score can get dinged too!
So be sure and watch those balances, because it is easy to lose track when you are pulling out plastic. Also consider finding a bank that “forgives” a certain amount of overdrafts a year, or has an attached savings account that kicks in. But be careful of those too, because if somebody steals your card, you can lose yoru savings a long with your checking. Personally, I’d rather just risk my checking account, and leave my savings account secure.

How To Unclog a Toilet With No Commercial Product
This is a great tip to unplug a toilet without expensive products. Simply squirt some normal dishwashing detergent in, and that nasty clog should get all greased up. The detergent is made to dissolve organic matter and it also lubricates.
Another benefit is that the pleasant smell of the detergent. It will mask the less pleasant smells that may come from the toilet clog.
