Helping Your Car Run The Extra Mile
A little extra care here and there when it comes to your car, and you'll find yourself saving loads of money - not just on repairs, but on fuel as well!
Keep your engine tuned up. A misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent. This means less money in your wallet. Follow the service schedules listed in your owner's manual. Replace filters and fluids as recommended.
I know it doesn't always fit into your schedule. You just have to make yourself do it. If the dealer is charging an arm and a leg for a tune-up, get a second opinion at a local reputable car repair shop. They can do the same service schedule, usually at a greater savings to you.
These tune-ups not only keep your car running smoothly, but they’ll help when you’re ready View the rest of this article

House Cleaning - The Benefits When It Comes To Selling
A property in a very sought after location was on the market. This property was a two bedded town house. The owner considered that because of its location he would have no trouble selling it and therefore it was not worth time or money in rectifying its defects.
The house had previously been let. The tenants had disappeared in the middle of the night owing several months rent. Rather than re-let the property the owner decided to put it on the market. 12 weeks later and after 50 viewings not a single offer had come in. The agent finally convinced the seller to get the property cleaned up, its only defect!
This is when we, Sparkle Cleaning Services were called in. Judging by what we found in the house the previous tenant had been something of a regular drinker! View the rest of this article

Beginners guide to buying a handgun
Preparing to buy your first handgun can be quite daunting. They aren’t cheap, new handgun prices range from $250.00 to 2,500.00. And to complicate the matter even further there are many different manufactures and choices. I tell people in my carry permit course that there are as many different types of handguns as the manufacturers can talk people into buying. And what is probably the most confusing to someone new to this field, is the fact that for every make and model of handgun there are 3 gun magazine writers telling there readers that that particular brand or caliber or gizmo is the best, and 4 others saying that the gun in question will get the reader killed.

Is the SUV Deduction Worth All the Fuss?
Tax Rules about Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV) are Confusing
In the eyes of the IRS, the SUV isn't just another car when it comes to calculating the automobile expense deduction. Every vehicle that is used primarily in business can calculate automobile expenses either by taking the Standard Mileage Rate (40.5 cents a mile for each mile driven for business - for 2005) or use the Actual Expense Method, based on the total of the actual expenses incurred.
When the Actual Expense Method is used, the amount written off during a vehicle's first year depends on how depreciation is handled. Depreciation is the percentage of an asset's value that can be written off each year over its useful life. For example, for an asset with a five-year useful life, one-fift View the rest of this article

Consolidate Your Debt With A Home Equity Loan And Improve Your Credit Score
A home equity loan is a loan based on the difference between what your current home value is and what you currently owe on your house. There are also mortgage companies that will loan a little over the equity you have in your home. They can usually do this safely because most homes appreciate in value over time.
If you have credit card debt at a high interest rate, or even at an average rate, you may want to consider getting a home equity loan to consolidate your credit card debt for a few reasons.
1. Having the credit card, but not being maxed out, or having the credit card paid off will boost your credit score. The amounts you owe make up about 30% of your credit score, that could be a huge difference if those accounts are paid off.
