The summer, while fun and relaxing, can be a monstrous pain in the butt. Seriously. Consider the yard work. There’s an old episode of the Brady Bunch where Marsha is pushing one of those old school mowers – clippers, really – that resemble the twirly thing that holds the lotto balls.

You aren’t Trump. Notsomuch the 1%. Rockefeller you ain’t. The fallout from this bleeds into just about every aspect of your life, and your living situation is no exception. You have to have a roommate. Imagine what your bills would be without one: about a grand a month for an apartment, and then a couple hundred for the utilities and communications… not to mention your other bills, like your insurance, car note, and on and on. It’s a parade. You … Continue reading →

Conditioning, endurance, strength, every way you can imagine yourself in top form, they’ve got you covered.

Finding the ingredients wasn’t the problem, the prep work wasn’t that big a deal, and of course the girl wore the apron (no offense, … Continue reading →

So there you are, sound asleep and dreaming really good stuff. You’re on a boat, just cruising down the river, having a great time. Suddenly, you notice the boat seems to have sprung a leak. It’s filling up fast, and your pants are starting to get wet. Instead of panicking, you calmly start brushing your pants legs off, trying to dry them. You can’t feel yourself getting any dryer, so you start brushing harder. Then you notice the pain and … Continue reading →

Cars are an American obsession. We love to fancy these babies up, too, by adding great aftermarket performance parts, like air inductors, rims, audio, heck, even fully rebuilt engines. And the best way to get these goods is with an online military loan. An online military loan can be granted with no money down, and with no interest for the first 90 days. That’s a same as cash loan for 90 days. After that, the interest that does apply is … Continue reading →

We love our cars. It’s true – whether it’s a Camero or a Yaris, we grow attached to our cars as if they were our own children. Often, we love to mod them out – add on tons of performance parts, rims, and audio systems. The best way to get the goods to make those upgrades with is with an online military loan. An online military loan can be granted with no money down, and with no interest for the … Continue reading →

Staging is the process of arranging furniture and décor to make it more appealing to potential buyers. Some people even go out and buy new furniture just for staging purposes. The best way to get new furniture is with an online military loan. An online military loan can be granted with no money down, and with no … Continue reading →
