Too often, people's bank accounts fall a little short before their next paycheck due to an unexpected expense. When this happens, many feel as though they do not have much of a choice but to just ty to scrap by until their next paycheck arrives. As a result, often times bills and other expenses begin to pull from the account, not only leaving the account empty, but any withdrawl from the account after the money is gone will result in an expensive fee called an overdraft fee.

These fees can cost up to $35 per withdrawl made, even if the money that is withdrawn is only a couple of dollars. And it doesn't stop with just one of these fees if the account continues to have withdrawls; the bank can charge anywhere from four to ten of these $35 fees in a single day. That's a possibility of up to $350 a day in overdraft fees.

Some banks have made some recent changes to their overdraft policies making them slightly less impacting. For example, if there are insufficient funds in the account, rather than an expensive overdraft fee, the withdrawl will be rejected by the bank. Sound better? Well, yes, until you take a closer look at the outcomes. Let's say that this withdrawl that was rejected was to pay an automatic monthly bill. If your bills go unpaid, not only do the majority of companies charge expensive late fees, but late or unpaid bills can effect your credit score. As a result, your credit score is lower making it much harder for you to get loans or good rates in the future on anything from buying a car to a house; and just a slight change in the rates you get on loans could cost you literally hundreds to thousands of dollars in the long run.

What should you do if your bank account is running low before your next paycheck to protect your money and your credit score? That is where a handy Cash Advance comes into play. You see, many people do not realize just how affordable and easy it is to get a cash advance; you do not even need a credit check! If you have a steady source of income, an ID, and a checking account, you can get an affordable Cash Advance. When you apply for a cash advance, you get the money you need right away and the cost can run as low as a third of what just one of those overdraft fees would cost you.

So, the next time you are running low in your bank account, get a cash advance to fight off the fees until your next paycheck arrives.

Contrary to popular belief; keeping a close eye on your young ones while they are swimming or playing in the pool is NOT good enough. If it was, then we wouldn't have the tragic problem of roughly 250 children under age five drowning every single year. It only take one minuet for something unexpected to happen. Don't let this happen to your children.

You can get some great floatation devices to better ensure the safety of your children while swimming this summer.

Inner tubes and floaties are better than nothing at all, however, you want to make sure that your children not only have a device that helps them to float, but something that also keeps them from going under water and especially keeps their head upright and out of the water.

Like previously stated; things like floaties may work for you if you are in the pool with your child and only for short periods of time as these devises could make the child tired and allow there heads or faces to go under the water.

The safest choice would be a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket. These are the best because they keep your child in an upright position and keep their heads out of the water.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Whether it is for unexpeceted medical bills, car trouble, or to replace a broken major appliance, sometimes, unexpected or unforeseen expenses fall into our laps. Having a chunk of money in your savings account sure would be helpful during times like these. However, most people in today's economy are pretty much living paycheck to paycheck without much cushion around to fall back on when a financial problem hits.

Most banks have a limit to how much a person must borrow in order to obtain a loan, making these bank loans very difficult to get approved for.

Title loans are great alternatives when you need a chunk of cash now.

With a title loan, if you have a car, you can get cash. And contrary to many beliefs, you do not have to have a great car to be able to get a great loan.

Check City has been in the financial business for over 23 years and they specialize in getting you approved for the title loan you want. They have even made it so fast and easy to obtain a title loan.

Here is how it works:

• Drive your car along with id, proof of ownership to your local Check City.
• They do a quick inspection of your car.
• Check City then gives you a loan amount based on a percentage value of your car.
• You drive away in your car with the cash you need.

Check City also offers great rates on their Payday Loans and Cash Advances. But with a Title Loan, you can possibly get yourself a little more money with a better interest rate. Check them out for yourself today to find out why so many people keep coming back to Check City for all of their short term financial needs.

Those pesky, itchy bug bites just might be the worst part about summer. They can be especially irritating for your children. Make sure that if you or your children will be outside for any extended period of time during morning or evening times, or in areas that are more insect prone such as forests, that you have proper insect repellent on.

There are many different types of insect repellent on the market today. Although more than one type may be affective, not all insect repellents are the same. So, make sure to choose the type that is right for you or your children.

What is the best type of insect repellent?

Insect repellents containing deet are probably the most effective and commonly used. Deet works by being absorbed into skin, so be especially cautious with using this type of repellent on your children as it is recommended that children have insect repellent that contains only between 10% - 30% DEET.

• When applying, you should apply the majority to clothing and also onto exposed skin, staying away from cuts, eyes, mouth, and the fingers of little ones who might stick their fingers in their mouths.
• Do not use on children 2 months or younger.
• Sweating and water will make the repellent come off, so reapply when necessary.
• Wash it off as soon as possible.
• Repellent containing 10% - 30% deet will last between 2 - 5 hours, depending on concentration of deet.

What are other ways to protect against bug bites?

In addition to using bug repellents and following the instructions on which ever type you may choose:

• Wear clothing that protects more skin when possible, such as long sleeves or pants
• Do not use scented soaps, or skin products.
• Where light colored clothing.

Most of us get through just fine month by month, and most of us are also living month to month. What I mean by this is; if you are like most people in today's economy, you are getting by but are pretty much one payday away from financial disaster.

To further my point; could you survive through the month if you skipped a paycheck?

If you answered no, you are like most of us. If your answer is yes, that is wonderful. However, what about two paychecks?

Well, if this is not your current situation, that is great. But keep the following in mind: if you ever find yourself in this situation; running short in the bank before your next payday, consider Check City as your reliable and affordable option.

The government giving each other little pats on the backs after the numbers have come in as positive for jobs created in the first quarter of 2010. January through March saw the job market increase by an estimate of somewhere between 2.2 and 2.8 million jobs.  The government, and more specifically Obama, says the reason for these job increases is the economic stimulus plan that was put into place last year. Economic advisors predict the final growth for the year at around 3.5 million.  This is both jobs saved and created according to the White House.

Vice President, Joe Biden, made the following statement about the progress the economy is making. He says, "from tax cuts to construction projects, the Recovery Act is firing on all cylinders when it comes to creating jobs and putting Americans back to work." When more jobs are created, we have more money to pay for the things we need. 

Even though you may be feeling the little extra boost of the government's money in your pocket, there are still days we all run short on cash and with Check City we can get you quick cash through our convenient and easy cash advance loans. 

Along with this announcement from the White House, also comes the official word that the economy is improving, and your economic situation can improve as well when you choose to cash your check (of almost any kind) at any nearby Check City Location.

You may be surprised to learn that some of the so called "facts" about gas mileage and your car are actually not facts at all, but instead commonly believed myths.  Today, I'd like to introduce you to some of those myths, most of which you have probably heard at least once, and give you the real facts on gas mileage, ways to save on it, and how to ensure that you get the most out of every penny. These tips can especially come in handy as gas prices are once again on the upward climb and with summer just around the corner, many families are beginning to make their summer travel plans.

MYTH 1: If your car manual says that premium fuel is recommended, and you use regular fuel, you will mess up the engine or other parts of your car. 

Fact: The truth is that unless you are running from the cops or are in a NASCAR event, the chances that using regular gas in a "premium" gas car, will not hurt it in any way.  Doing this, could save you up to 25 cents per gallon.  The only time you may even notice the difference is in the horsepower if you are driving faster than you should be. However, be aware of whether your owners manual says the premium fuel is required or just recommended. Cars that require premium fuel, will experience more problems and over time the engine may wear down faster.

MYTH 2:  In the summer, when the air is hot and humid, buy your gas at night or early in the morning, so that it will be colder, because colder gas is more condensed, and therefore you can get more for your gallon.

Fact:  Doing this, could in the long run possibly save you a little bit of money, but it is hard to get cold gas, and in addition, it doesn't add up to high amounts of savings and therefore may not really be worth your time. 

MYTH 3: Shopping around for gas is seldomly worth the effort because of the gas you use to find the cheaper price.

Fact: Crossing state lines, and checking online are great ways to find cheaper gas, and could in reality save you quite a bit of money each year.
