Self Funded Retirees To Be Negatively Impacted By Carbon Tax Says Association

Over a quarter million retirees that are self funded will not be entitled to receive compensation that will be generated by the carbon tax according to National Seniors Australia.

Michael O’Neill who runs the organisation says that whilst the government has been very generous compensating holders of the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, and pensioners, it has been less than stellar in sorting out those who have provided for their own future.

With so many folks literally drowning in debt, the strategy they used to settle with Citibank is something to learn from.

Tips for Recent Grads Applying for First Credit Card

Almost half of college seniors graduating this year don’t have a credit card, according to a recent Capital One survey. That’s a steep increase compared to the 22 percent of graduates from 2008 to 2010 who also didnt have a card.

There are good reasons to not get a credit card while in college. Most students don’t have a lot of money and having easy access to credit makes it all too easy to accumulate excessive credit card debt. However, students who don’t get a card while in college might find it harder to qualify for the best credit cards once they graduate – particularly if they don’t yet have a job.

This was the case for Mary, a recent college graduate and current credit card novice. “My parents
