Beware of credit card offers
Beware of credit card offers
Today's post explains a few things about credit card , and if you're interested, then this is worth reading, because you can never tell what you don't know.
Mr. Raj Kanwar. Family man with four dependants, an aged mother, wife and a school-going child. Being the only earning member of his family, he earns Rs.10,000 per month. He has XYZ Credit Card but is unable to repay the dues. He now receives calls from recovery agents and lawyers.
This is typical of many consumers today. Irresponsible use of credit facilities and a relative low awareness of the workings of sophisticated financial products have made such situations common. Most people do not plan their spending. They do not save for rainy days and unforeseen situations as medical expenses, marriages, education, maintenance of properties, loss of job or losses in business.
In the modern financial world, consumers desperately need Financial Counselling. It is appalling to note that a major portion of disposable incomes is used by many to repay debt. A large percentage of credit card holders owe more than about 20 to 25% of their annual income. With such startling statistics, education and awareness is need, particularly for the following issues:
1. Budgeting and saving
2. Choosing, using and repaying credit like housing, auto, personal loans and credit cards
If you don't have accurate details regarding credit card , then you might make a bad choice on the subject. Don't let that happen: keep reading.
3. Modern products introduced by banks and financial institutions e.g. Debit Cards, Demat accounts, Mutual Fund products, etc.
Indian Scenario
Many consumers look resourceful and prosperous. Starting their adult lives with a healthy financial status, they end up in a financial mess a few years down the line. Even household savings are relatively low. Consumers don’t analyze their repaying capacity before borrowing. They are often caught in debt traps and the resultant follow up by banks and financial institutions for recovery, will look like harassment. Instead of apportioning their incomes to meet future/emergency expenses, they end up with multiple loans for housing, automobile, household appliances, furniture, holidays to foreign locations and thus live beyond their means. Their hidden pride does not allow them to admit their ignorance in financial management. Many consumers feel it is wasteful to spend precious time in investment decisions, which should be left to the experts. They simply sign documents at the places marked without attempting to read their contents or understand what they are signing. The excuse of lack of time often causes ineffective and poor financial decisions. Many a time they are ashamed of seeking help to manage their finances.

Cricket is no more a game
You should be able to find several indispensable facts about Cricket in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might make.
Cricket is not just a game anymore. Cricket is business and a big one at that. In India, cricketers are earning money which was unheard of even a decade ago. Top Test players make more money off the ground by endorsements and other business than they do by playing for the country. Even Ranji Trophy players are better off financially than their counterparts in other sports. Cricket is no more a gentleman's game; now it is business and big business at that.
IN the not too distant past playing international cricket matches (especially between India and Pakistan) in offshore venues of Sharjah, Dubai, Toronto and Singapore was frowned upon. The matches there were fixed, the pundits said. In the late 90s the Indian board imposed a blanket ban on Indian team playing there.
But how did all this change so rapidly? Ask the three men responsible for this great change - Sharad Pawar, Bindra and Lalit Modi of the BCCI (The Board of Control for Cricket in India). They broght in the Indian Premier League, the richest cricket tournament in the world! In case you did not know, Indian cricket is administered by the BCCI, which is a quasi government organization that is run by bureaucrats and administrators. India has the largest cricket fan base around the world.
Hopefully the information presented so far has been applicable. You might also want to consider the following:
Today BCCI is the richest cricket body in the world. It has, according to reports, made investments of over Rs 180 crore in fixed deposits in nationalised banks and has also earmarked Rs 48 crore for various activities in the current year. The national coach, physio and most of the back-up men have been appointed from abroad. But nobody is complaining. The marketing skills of those who run Indian cricket must come in for praise, along with the appeal the game has in the country. The board earns money through sponsorships, match fees, TV rights and also as its share from the ICC as profits of the World Cup and the ICC Trophy.
Will the game suffer in the long run? Players are no more concerned on how well they play...many of them want to be selected just for a few games and mint money in crores or millions. But there is nothing much to worry about in the 20/20 format as the players play mainly to entertain and keep the ad agencies happy.
But in all this chaos about hitting sixes and making money only there was a sad note as well. Adam Gilchrist, the famed Australian wicketkeeper batsman, who pulverised bowlers all over the world for more than decade has announced his retirement. He was a true gentleman on the field though not at all gentle in hitting those sixes! There was so much bad blood between the Australian and Indian cricket teams recently in the matches being played. But not "Gilly". He never took part in the sledging and bickering that went on (He was right behind the stumps). Instead he concentrated only on hitting the ball very hard when he batted. Why did he have to retire so soon? The reason he gave was he had dropped a catches of late! Bull! Far lesser cricketers are still playing only for money. Why did you have to do it Gilly? Here is a small tribute to you I have written in verse...please read and be of good cheer.They say the search engines pick up these feeds for the world to see...everyone should get to know this tribute to you. Here it is...
Tribute to a man named Adam Gilchrist
Once there was a man named Gilly
He made bowlers all over the world look silly
When he hit the ball it soared high into the air
Never to return if only to tear their bellies bare
Even the umpires felt greatly enthused
As he hustled and bustled joyfully to the crease
For they would see the ball being belted with such contemptous ease
Only to keep the giant scoreboard ticking with ever increasing speed
One two three four
Seven to ten sixes in a row
He would with utter disdain hoist them wide into the howling stands
Only to force the poor fielders to piss wet in their pants
Oh, why did he have to retire
This glorius hitter of the ball
What did a few dropped catches matter of late
For he had taken plenty in the days gone great
Not once did he join in the monkeying that went on in the game
For he was of a decent race in spirit and name
Not all the dollars the Khans, the Mallyas, and the Modis paid for him to play
Can ever outweigh our love for him forever today
We will sing praises forever to the Lord, our God
For giving us this priceless cricketer, dear God, our God
If ever He were to say "What! I can always grant you another!"
We'd cry out to him and say"only Gilly, only Gilly, Lord"
There's no doubt that the topic of Cricket these days can be fascinating. If you still have unanswered questions about Cricket, you may find what you're looking for in the next article.

New eBay Affiliate program
New eBay affiliate program
Current info about eBay is not always the easiest thing to locate. Fortunately, this post includes the latest eBay info available.
As many know by now, eBay has started taking care of their affiliate program in house starting on April 1st. This should not alarm anyone and should be considered a good thing. It takes Commision Junction out of the equation now.There were a lot of concerns with CJ especially on the non tracking issue. Its about time ebay began taking back their program. There are a few benefits for ebay though. First of all they will have full control on their affiliates and they are closer to their one of the most important advertising wings. In addition they will have some saving which they can use for improving further the affiliate program.
After you register, you'll be able to make money simply for driving traffic to your eBay affiliate website. Again, if you have a website of your own, you can include a widget showcasing your listings. Or if you keep a blog, put links on it to your eBay Store. Some sellers with off-eBay stores have even put eBay listings on them as a way to make a little extra money and offer more products to their customers.
All the great tools and benefits of working with the eBay program will remain the same.In addition, the eBay partner network will provide several new features: Easy global registration to multiple countries simultaneously ; New, targeted banners and rich media creatives; New landing page optimization and geo-targeting capabilities.
If you're already a part of the eBay affiliate program, all you need to do is sign up for the new program that started on April 1st and change the tracking codes within your affiliate links. You will have until May 1st to change your links. After May 1st, all affiliate payouts will be made through the eBay Partner Network, instead of the old program.
Once you begin to move beyond basic background information, you begin to realize that there's more to eBay than you may have first thought.
When it comes to making money online, people often choose Google AdSense and Clickbank affiliate program. They build a content site or informative blog to display AdSense ads and promote different types of Clickbank niche products in order to generate online revenue. If you are one of them who make money online this way, why not use also eBay affiliate program?You will earn huge $25 commission for signing people up to eBay.The eBay affiliate marketing program is quite lucrative as do many marketing programs go.
