Following are three, unavoidable truths: Energy costs are going to go up in the future. Water will be scarce. And my water heater is about to die.

The solution would be easy: get a new, tankless (”on demand”) water heater (I thought about just going with cold showers but my girlfriend wasn’t so keen on that). They save energy, use less water (you don’t run the tap so long to get the hot water), they even take up less space. Add to that, a store in Santa Monica is running a sale that let’s you pre-order a heater for when you need it at a 20% discount. It turns out that you get a $300 tax break in 2009 with this kind of home energy investment. Overall, the savings would be $500 or $600

I really found myself in a bind this time. I somehow slipped behind a bit on last month’s rent and I got a notice posted on my door that if I didn’t pay IN FULL within the next three days, I was going to be evicted.

Honestly, I lost it for a second. I really didn’t know what to do. Someone told me to hop on the internet and search for words like “fast cash in Los Angeles”, “loans for people with bad credit”, etc. I was really doubtful about the whole thing because I’ve had bad experiences with companies like this before.

I truly ran out of options though, so I tried it out. I came to Los Angeles Car Title Loans and filled out the online application that they have. It was so quick and easy, plus I had the money the NEXT day! That loan really saved me because I really wasn’t looking forward to being evicted and forced back into my parent’s house. I worked so hard to get out of their basement, there’s no way I am going back!

Whether you believe me or not, I know I’ll be able to lay my head down tonight knowing that all my finance problems are going to be okay. Thank you again, Los Angeles Car Title Loans!

I’m an optimist, which I think is a good survival skill in this economy. Despite everything that’s happened to me

Dance lessons for my buddy Ken’s wedding in Redondo Beach were actually more fun than I thought they’d be. When my wife first suggested them, I told her that she was nuts. However, she remided me that as the best man, I was expected to dance, at least a few times. She hit my pride button, and I realized that I didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of 200 people, or have a video of my white man dancing skills show up on YouTube.

As I said, the lessons were fun, and I even dropped a about 10 lbs in the process. I wouldn’t say that I would go dancing every week, but I can now see the benefit of it. That is, until I threw out my back at the wedding. Everything was going rather swimmingly, until I tried to show off for the crowd. What made me try to throw my wife in the air and then try to catch her was just my pride talking, and throwing out my back and writhing in pain on the floor, was reality answering.

At Little Company of Mary Hospital, they took a scan of my back, just to make sure nothing was broken, there wasn’t, and eventually sending me on my way with a boatload of muscle relaxants, pain relievers, and anti inflammatory pills. It was about 3 weeks before I felt back to my normal self, when I got that bill from the hospital.

If it wasn’t for Los Angeles Car Title Loans providing me with a automobile title loan, I would have been stuck. The online application took just a few minutes, and before I knew it, I was headed to the location closest to my house.

If you need some quick cash, I highly recommend Los Angeles Car Title Loans.

My husband wants a divorce. Yeah, that

My wife and I had lots of fun. We were able to afford a nice apartment in a fun part of West Hollywood. Sophie and I wanted us to move to California to get away from the snow of Cleveland, and really enjoy the nightlife of Southern California when we visited. There weren’t too many times we didn’t speak of having kids, but we wanted to wait until everything was settled out here. Everything was going according to plan, until one day Sophie was killed in a car accident.

My world had come to an end, and I didn

I bought a Dodge Ram 3500 truck because I have friends with a cabin out toward Sierra Madre. We would go out there every other weekend, do work, haul firewood and just relax. A great break from life in LA.

But I’d heard there is recovery work where they need freelance truckers like me after a fire has swept through communities. Well, I don’t wish for fires anywhere. But the work has to get done and the pay is very good. Double what I make in my regular job. Which comes in real handy, given how a medical emergency with one of my kids has left us with bills to pay and bad credit.

So my company has been going through a slow period, and I asked my supervisor if I could take a leave of absence during the fire season. He thanked me, said yes, in this economy that would help them a lot (it’s a family owned business). They don’t promise my job will be there when I get back, but they’d give me priority if the work was there.

The question is, what would we do while waiting for the pay from the recovery work? I’d be a sub to a sub, the lowest on the food chain and therefore the last to get paid, AFTER the insurance claims are settled. So there would be a lag time of six or eight weeks before the checks come.

How would my wife and me pay our bills over that time? My wife is at home taking care of the kids. There is the rent, truck payments, health insurance, food and old debt. What I needed is fast cash.

And no bank would loan me money
