Get Extra Money This Christmas in Australia 0

Posted on December 20, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

We can all use extra money every now and then – or perhaps more often than that. One thing is for sure, though, when Christmas time comes around, everyone certainly needs extra money. It’s a time for giving, it’s a time for celebrating, it’s a time to indulge! Of course, if you do not have the funds, you cannot do much of these, can you?

It is only a little more than a month till the big day – for some, it is the biggest day of the year. Are you still worrying about how you are going to deal with your financial shortages this Christmas? Then worry no more! There is a way by which you can get extra money to help you celebrate in style.

I am talking about a cash advance loan. Truth be told, I doubt that you are a stranger to cash advance loans. After all, they have been used by countless people all over Australia – and they are continuously being used by more. This is because they do meet a great need that exists in the market. But just in case you are not that familiar with them, let me share what cash advance loans are all about.

Cash advance loans are basically short term loans which you can take out at anytime, anywhere. They work much like any other kind of loan in that you have to borrow money from a lender, they decide whether you are worthy of the loan or not, they give you the money, and you have to pay it back within a certain period of time with the corresponding charges.

If they are that similar to other loans, then what makes a cash advance loan special? Oh, let me tell you, a LOT of things. One, it doesn’t take much to be approved for one. In these times of financial problems, it is very hard to take out a loan. This is not true with a cash advance loan. All that you need is to provide proof of the following:

-that you are a resident or a citizen of Australia

-that you are at least 18 years old

Gianni Truvianni’s List of Great Christmas Films 0

Posted on December 09, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

There are many a Christmas film to entertain during this most special time of year and in spite of this tradition not going back as far as the music and stories that accompany this season; it has become just as much apart of Christmas as any other. Christmas films; now a days are just as eagerly awaited as perhaps the season itself by cinema goers all over the world with every season bringing on a new batch, most of which will probably be forgotten before the season returns the following year.

With regards to the history behind these films perhaps it can be said that the first films of this season limited themselves to subjects which portrayed the birth and life of Jesus Christ or at least the way it is said to have taken place in the “New Testament” of the bible. These films concentrating on showing three wise men being lead by a star to a place where the virgin Mary gave birth to the one whom Christians through out the world have called the messiah. Some films would include the events of Jesus’ life but for the most part these films of Christmas would limit themselves to the events that preceded his birth.

With time however Christmas films as did perhaps the season itself; moved away from only being focused on the birth of Christ and started including such themes as Santa Claus. This being the man who supposedly lives in the North Pole and gives presents to all those children, regardless of any condition other then weather or not they have been good through out the year.

Christmas eventually stretched beyond even these two themes and like Christmas itself which expanded so did the films concerning this time of year, to include the effect this season has on most people and their relationships to one another. As a strange coincidence or perhaps it was not the first film to go a way from these two themes was “A Christmas Carol”, based on the famous book written by Charles Dickens. As it

Will Shopping Save the Economy 25

Posted on December 06, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

The easy availability of credit has created what Robert Manning calls our Credit Card Nation, where we are encouraged to shop until we drop. In the aftermath of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, President Bush made that point shamelessly when he told the American people that the best way to help in that traumatic period was to go shopping again. He knew, even if most Americans didn’t, that it is their non-stop consumption that drives the economy. Without it, I guess, the terrorists could have won.

”In fact,” Robert Manning writes in his seminal book on credit cards, “with the ascendance of the post-industrial economy, bank credit cards have become an essential technological and financial tool for commercial transactions as well as an increasingly important macro-economic tool for U.S. Policy-makers.”

Shopping is our real national pastime, but it comes, as he warns, at a price that is not advertised in the malls:

The idyllic wonderland of consumer credit too often belies a reality of unknown sacrifices and enduring debt… the credit card industry is playing a crucial role in transforming American consumer attitudes. The promotion of “immediate gratification” ruptures the cognitive connection between earnings/saving and credit/debt that has traditionally shaped consumer behavior. It is this “cognitive disconnect,” with its siren song “Buy, buy, buy. It could be free, free, free” that constitutes the cornerstone of the Credit Card Nation.

And so it is not surprising that holidays are used or created as national events to spur consumption. They have become rituals of shopping. None is as important as the first day after Thanksgiving, itself a day set aside for overindulgence at the kitchen table. That day now has a name, Black Friday, so called because it is supposed to be the day when the whole retail sector goes into the black financially. (This may not have been such a wise use of
