Most don't even bother reading them just for these two reasons. Banks and lenders will always mislead you often if not always lead you to make the most irresponsible deal in terms of your best interests.

You have almost no rights in the financial world. There are two sets of rules, the rules you follow and pay for and the rules they break and profit from.

You can rage against the machine and complain about how unfair it is all day long, it will never make any difference. We are literally owed by the banks.

Understand this and make informed decisions as-to your finances. Never live beyond your means. Make payments on time and never barrow more than you can afford and at an interest you can afford. Most don't realize just how much interests adds up over the years. Take out a $20,000.00 loan today and in 20 years after making the minimum monthly payment, you'll have paid that and more back to the lender and still have 20 grand or more left to pay.

All this coupled with the worst economy since the great depression 1929 - 1940, you will face obstacles many of us didn't have to deal with when we were starting off.

Be careful Squirtel. But most of all be smart.

there is a lot of sound advice here

I also really dig Captain Britain alot more than I thought I would, wish I read more comics with him. Doctor Doom was disappointing though, I like him as a character, but the mold is lacking on possability.

Anyway, some posing appreciation:

If you like Captain Britian I highly suggest the Alan Davis/Chris Claremont Excalibur series from the late 80's early 90's it is so awesome, funny and can be had for fairly cheap. go to it

Some boards I visits, dear god, it's a freakin' chore scrolling down while reading a thread.

This goes for everyone, if ya'd like a sig with your username on it and favorite images, I wouldn't mind hooking you up, I enjoy sig making, just ask and ye shall recieve.

I might have to take you up on that one day
