Paying Off Your Debt
By Philip | October 19, 2008
Often, people ask “can I file bankcruptcy?” when they are stuck with their credit debt and can’t pay their debt off.
We all know that by filing bankcruptcy, you will be relieved of your legal obligation. Still, it should only be a last resort as it would produce a long lasting catastrophic effects for your credit by either having Chapter 7 for at least 10 years or having Chapter 13 for at least seven years on your credit report. To make it worse, both can remain on your legal records for 20 years.
So, how to pay off debt aside from filing bankcruptcy?
Well, either to pay off your debt or to get out of credit card debt, both would have a similiar ways which are explained as follow:
Debt Settlement
Also known as Debt Negotiation. Using this way, you’ll negotiate with your creditors to reduce your debt by 40 to 60 percent, which would lower your monthly payments.
Credit & Financial Debt Counseling
Using this way, you’ll negotiate with your creditors to reduce your interest charges so that you can pay your debt off in a shorter time with lower payment.

Life Insurance Quote following a stroke
By Philip | October 10, 2008
In this article we will start to discuss the symptoms, causes and effects of a stroke, and the impact this can have on Life Insurance Quote.
Stroke is 3rd most common cause of death in the UK affecting an estimated 150,000 people in the UK every year (that’s more than one person every five minutes!) (source: The Stroke Association).
Firstly, make no mistake, a stroke can have a devastating impact on not just the individual, but everyone, families, friends, even work colleagues.
In general terms, there are two main types of stroke, an “ischaemic” stroke, caused by a blockage in an artery and a “bleed” stroke which is caused by a burst blood vessel in the brain.
Although there are certain factors that can increase the likelihood of you suffering a stroke, it can just as easily happen to pretty much anyone.
Life Insurance quote companies have a responsibility to shareholders and/or their other policyholders, so be in doubt that people who have suffered a stroke can generally expect to pay higher premiums for any new life insurance policies so it pays to ensure life cover is reveiewed regularly.
Never, ever attempt to mislead potential insurers by failing to dislose or mislead them about any medical condition that you have had. This will only cause further distress for your spouses/partners or any other potential beneficiaries in the event of your death as insurers could refuse a claim on the grounds of non-disclosure of a material fact that may have affected their original underwriting decision.
This not to say that you are uninsurable if you have suffered a stroke. There are numerous factors that undewriters/actuaries will consider such as age, current health, length of time since you suffered the stroke, so don’t despair, it may still be possible to secure cover for you, albeit at an increased cost.

Popular Majors and Their Salaries
By Philip | October 9, 2008
The leading money making majors might be different each year. Most of the time, majors that are harder to complete, usually will be more rewarding at the end.
I was curious about the major I’m taking now which is Computer Science, as people often say that it is quite a good rewarding major, so, I compiled a list of the somewhat popular college major -at least in my country- their initial salary -in United States- and the type of jobs that you’ll be able to get after finishing it.
1.)Engineering type of majors including Chemical Engineering ($59,531), Electrical Engineering ($60,592), Mechanical Engineering ($57,547), and civil engineering ($49,537). Usually, these majors are the hardest to complete with massive homework and projects and require a lot of mathematic skills which many other people don’t. The employment growth for the majority of engineering jobs is moving at a pace faster than most occupations. The jobs for these majors include: Designing constructions from bridges to skyscrapers, creating medical advancements and a lot more.
2.)Computer Science ($57,249)- With the endless development potential of computers and the cyberspace, computer science are very important as it will keep growing in the future. Because of that people who have skills in computer science are paid high. Jobs for this major include: Database manager, Systems analyst, Applications programmer, Computer programmer.
3.)Accounting ($53,932) - This major can be really boring as it contains a lot of numbers, and you won’t be able to bear it if you don’t like to see a lot of numbers in your paper. Still, it could be worth it for your post college opportunities. Accountants will always be in great demand because I think most people are lazy and they don’t have the knowledge to do their taxes. The growth of this job is average. Examples for the jobs are: Management accountants, Government accountants, Public accountants, Auditors
4.)Economics/Finance($80,930/$85,788)- With economics you will be able to analyze almost anything. It can be very interesting. However, you could get bored to death if you got a wrong professor. If you are interested in economics, the book “Freakonomics” would be suitable for you. Some of my friends in this major said that it is known to open people’s minds to economics. Growth of this job is very strong for finance and economics. Examples for the jobs include: Economists in government, business, academic fields.
More choices of majors that you can choose: Business Administration-$54,626, Psychology-$43,945, and Arts at approximately $44,810
