Direct TV - Did You Know?

If you have Direct TV, then as a subscriber you should know

• that if you pay your Direct TV bill by phone there is a $5 extra charge for doing this. Direct TV encourages you to pay either by mail or online
  
  
• if you do not pay your Direct TV bill then they will start to bill you for their equipment - something like $50 per each receiver box that you have installed. Subsequently Direct TV will send you mailing boxes so that you can disconnect your Direct TV boxes and mail them back to Direct TV so that you won't be charged for still having their equipment
  
  
• if you can not pay your total Direct TV bill - pay at least something - even if it is only $10 because this will show that you are making the effort to pay your bill.

Are You Interested In The Stock Market?

I was reading some adsense message board postings and someone brought up the subject of since Google seemed to be doing so well they were interested in buying Google stock which I thought wasn't a bad idea. Currently Google stock is at around $500 per share!

The only REAL dealings that I have had with the stock market was when I was in junior high school and we had the assignment of investing (imaginary) money into the stock market. I think I made something like $23 in profit!

Would I invest in the stock market today? I would as long as I had a good amount of security as far as my finances go. I wouldn't invest in the stock market to make a quick buck!

The Cost Of A First Class Stamp Is Going Up One Penny Starting In May!

I just happened upon the article today!

This is the first that I have heard about it and do you know I still have my stamps from the last postage increase? May is 3 months away and it really doesn't matter because if I want to mail something I'll just have to adjust to the new postage rate.

The cost of stamps is not the only thing that will be increasing.

Depositing Your Checks Without Having To Go To The Bank?

Technology is advancing so rapidly today. People can do their banking and pay their bills online. Now comes word that those of us that do our banking online may now be able to deposit checks without having to go to the bank!

Confused? So was I at first but it really seems to be quite simple. The process involves scanning the check but it isn't a sure thing yet. It's currently being experimented on and it will depend on whether or not your bank will allow you to have such an option. A lot of people already have their checks direct deposited so this might be another very good option to have.

I certainly love the convenience of being able to do my banking at all kinds of hours! I especially hate those long lines on Fridays and I'm sure that a lot of other people do too!

Of course I realize that not everyone has a banking account but for those that do there seems to be another convenient option well on it's way!

Here is a link to an article that talks more about being able to deposit checks without having to go to the bank.
