What you need to know before you pop the
most expensive question of your life!
Sorry to rain on your parade of love...but since Valentine’s Day is the #1 day for marriage proposals–and since 1 out of 2 first marriages ends up in divorce court–60% of second marriages going the same route–I think it’s worth reviewing some pre-proposal or pre-wedding day steps that you’ll thank me for in the future. Put your hormones in neutral for a few minutes and click here before it’s too late.

So you're hellbent on buying jewelry for that special someone this Valentine's Day, huh? I’ve always loved the terrific deal pawnshops offer anyone looking for a deal on jewelry...or musical instruments, or CDs or DVDs or sporting of gardening equipment, or....
Check out my special report on why pawnshops can really stretch your budget, and other ways to get the most bang for your buck...
Looking for a stock tip that takes advantage of this lousy economy? Pawnshops are getting hot for cash-strapped consumers, as ABC News points out in their recent story on the subject...
Customer Service Nightmares/Part I: We've heard the horror stories...you're trying to plan 'the perfect evening' with that special someone, but the event or evening is spoiled because you were treated lousy.
You're gonna love the story of how one man took matters into his own hands. (Don't try this yourself!)

Customer Service Nightmares/Part II: David Letterman's picked on the cable industry for years, giving all of us a voice for the crappy service and wasted days waiting for the cable guy.
Apparently it's not just the cable guy that's been guilty of treating us poorly. You're gonna love this story about the extreme measures one frustrated guy took to get his Dish Network repairman to fix his TV. (Again, don't try this yourself!)
Customer Service Nightmares/Part III: Anyone else out there despise the credit card industry as much as I do? Last week Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) introduced legislation to level "the playing field between card companies and cardholders while fostering fair competition and free market values." 
The "Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights Act of 2008" would take actions such as protecting cardholders against arbitrary interest rate increases; prohibiting card companies from imposing excessive fees on cardholders; and requiring Congress to provide better oversight of the credit card industry.
While this all sounds wonderful, I'll be surprised if this law ever becomes a reality. Why? Because the banks have so many lawmakers bought and paid for much influence in Washington D.C. Read all about it here...
