When the Staples Dell commercial first aired there were layoffs happening across Canada at Dell.  As it turns out it didn’t take someone long to point that fact out to Staples who quickly edited the commercial to state “Hey everyone, all your cars have been towed.” (not verbatim)  It’s just one of those little things that to some are blatant and to others inconsequential but still happened.

www123print.com

What it’s all about:

This website provides a comprehensive variety of print services from custom logo designs to business cards, shipping labels and letterhead.

What the website is like:

I found www.123print.com to be a very well laid out website. It’s easy to navigate and find what you’re looking for quickly. Once you select a section to browse through you’re provided with further choices, for example if you picked business cards you can then choose from featured designs, themes or occasions. From there you can further customize your choice with fonts, text size and colours.

Their samples page really caught my eye when I noticed that they provide free samples of their personalized products. That’s quite generous to offer free sample kits like that. It does give a prospective customer the opportunity to experience their printing firsthand. It can be difficult to compare print services online without actually being able to see the final result on paper.

With the astounding variety and selection to choose from at www.123print.com I think there’s a little something there for anyone requiring print services.

Some people are great with their money and others manage all their money like a day at the tracks. Having money cause you stress in your life is almost unavoidable for most at some point or another. When you think about it the first thing people have to do before their lives even start is take out loans for University or college or tools in an apprenticeship.

It’s so important to be smart with our money even money that technically isn’t ours like credit cards. The last thing you want is to end up with a huge unmanageable pile of debt with no way out and spending your free time seeking debt advice from professionals.

Personally I think good money management is something you have to start at a young age. Opening a bank account and learning how to manage money and your current accounts as you get older. As we get older we spend more and hopefully make more to compensate. We buy cars and houses and then need car insurance and home insurance to go along with. Some finally lose out with bad credit remortage their home to try and maintain a hold on things. The money game can be a little dirty sometimes but we’re all forced to play so play it well and play smart!

Credit cards are in fact mandatory for many things such as a car rentals. I know some people that just take advantage of 0% balance transfers to save on their existing balance.

As with everything there’s always pros and cons and that applies to your credit card as well. It all depends on the choices people make and how they manage their money and their credit. It’s not like the credit card goes out for a night on the town by itself ;-)

One little piece of advice… shop around and do some comparisons beforehand to know what you’re getting into. I’m sure there’s got to be some 0% credit cards out there. Manage what you have wisely and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
