As far as I remember, I haven't mentioned in this blog that I'm fond of advertising and marketing tricks: I like to check out new interesting ads, I collect vintage ads and I'm interested to read about new advertising campaigns.
So, I recently came across a website offering credit cards for woman! It is called CreditRoom.com and at the first sight you see that they sell something for women, haha.
What seemed even more funny to me is the statement that their site was made by women and for women. I remembered O.b. ads and some ads of panties or a related stuff and find their approach amusing. But there is one but... What if o.b. will get angry and destroy that little cute site?

Life and Choice

It is no easy matter to make a decision when it comes to buy things. You have money, but the amount is limited while your needs and desired are absolutely unlimited. Today I understood how bothering decisions are: our family has a dilemma of buying additional equipment for the car or new TV and some furniture.
The saddest thing about this kind of purchases is that things get old and you start hating them in some months or years. We have furniture, but it is ugly… we have a place to store our clothes and books, but the ugly cupboard makes life rotten! That’s the way a modern man lives – al the time you should struggle the desire and determine the needs, resist the temptation. Seducing us, manufacturers build villas and marry hot models. But are the things we buy worth the labor we do to earn money for this?

Just a thought about finances

Everybody knows already that recession is in full swing. We were afraid we wn't be able to afford many things including Las Vegas and credit cards... to the total surprise, the latest surveys showed that the usage of credit cards became increased! What is the reason? People have gone mad?
An easy and sad explanation is drop in consumers' buying ability. People find less opportunities to pay in cash, they have to live in credit. Since prices skyrocketed, there is no other way than living beyond means according to how you used to live. Is it fair? or is it wise? I have no credit card at the moment...

Cuties

I came across a picture of the cutiest kangaroos - the mommy and a little albino child. They live in Uzbekistan zoo and the child is really a wonder! You can't but admire these creatures!

Going to work - it is better to keep green?

Now that it is spring in bloom and summer is coming soon, I have an important dilemma: going to work by car or by bicycle. Many people in my town choose bicycle, because it gasoline is very expensive and cycling is less harmful for the environment. What I'm not sure about is whenther it will be great if I come to my work on bicycle. I don't wear a suit, but still I should look spin and span. Will I look clean after a 20 minutes' ride on a bike? Besides, I'm afraid I won't look as reputable as if I went there by car. The green aspect of the matter is obvious, but... So, I can't decide. Probably bike. Or car. Hmmmm...

Credit for people with bad credit history

is really not the thing I would like to have now! I remember the time my credit was really really bad and I could only afford having a limit of $300 and a sky high interest rate. My credit is more than average now and I’m in constant search for a new rewarding plastic: I know it is harmful for the score… but I can’t resist the temptation! Quite occasionally I came across a listing of credit cards for people with really bad credit and I was about to cry – they are much cheaper now than some two years ago. Times and prices change so quickly!
