I got a call from my Mother a few weeks ago that she was really sick, and she needed someone to take care of her. “Sure”, I said, “No problem. Except that she lives on the other side of the country!” There was no way I could say no to her, but I really couldn’t afford the airfare and travel money to get out there. Times are rough and with my bills stacking up to the ceiling, there was no way I could afford this. I couldn’t tell her that, of course. It’s my Mom, I would have to find a way.

I didn’t even know where to start looking for ways to get he money, so I started with some other family members. I made a few calls, but nobody was able to lend me the money. I understood though, I mean times are rough for everybody these days. One of my cousins told me about a time that he took a loan out by using his car title, and I had a car that I have paid off already. I thought it was worth looking into since I have bad credit anyways, it couldn’t hurt, right?

I hopped on the Internet and searched for “car title loans in or around Forest Park, bad credit.” I came to the site for Car Title Loans in Forest Park, and I had found my solution to this dilemma. They had an online application that only took a few minutes to fill out. It was quick and simple and I got approved in less than two hours. The next day they wired the money to my bank account, and I bought my ticket and was on my way to Florida to take care of my Mother.

Thank God I found that website, because I don’t know how else I would have gotten there. By the way, she’s doing a lot better now and she was so happy I was able to come and be there for her.

My husband thinks he’s an athlete because he goes to Sportsmans Park to play the horses. I supposed there’s some aerobic value to the 20 or 30 times he jumps up into the air to see his fillies lose. Maybe even more comes from that grinding, stomach churning feeling he gets when he loses race after race. The real workout comes when he arrives home and dances around my questions about where he was, what was he doing and how much he lost.

Fortunately for both of us, I keep charge of all the finances in the house. He gets his recreational allowance and that’s all he can lose. Everything to pay the bills is hidden from him.

So when I ran into a bunch of bad luck of my own — cutback at work, medical expenses, travel to Cleveland to take care of family, holidays — I had to come up with some ways to manage (dear horse-hubby isn’t going to help much). I went online and found Cicero Title Loans, a great solution when you need cash but can’t sell your car because you need it. A car title loan is also great because you get your money in a day, which is what i needed to pay certain bills on time.

By the way Cicero is near Maywood, Oak Park, Riverside, Berwyn, and Forest Park.

I knew when I married my wife she’s not much of a cook. She told me she couldn’t make Jello because she copuldn’t figure out how to get two cups of water into the little packages. Yeah, she’s a blonde.

So I decided I would be the cook. And I didn’t want to be an ordinary cook. I wanted to be a master chef, able to make amazing things like I see on the Food Network. So I went out and bought a $2300 oven-range, $1600 refrigerator, $4000 worth of top line cookware, a blender/food processor, and a complete selection of more than 80 spices and herbs. It all set me back more than $8000.

And I’m using it. More now than ever — because I lost my job and have time at home to really work on making great food. The problem is I’m still paying for a lot of this great kitchen with a major loss of income. How do I keep the repo man at bay?

I went to Berwyn Title Loans, a car title loan company that valued my Saab at more than $14,000. It’s pretty easy to do, all online, approved in an hour, money in a day – real fast cash. I didn’t need that much, but it’s just enough to avoid racking up late fees on my credit cards while I wait on some new job opportunities. It’s a great back up. And at the end of the day, I’d rather be eating a fine fusion of French and Thai vegetables than bad Jello.

By the way Berwyn  is near Cicero, Lyons, Forest Park, Maywood, and River Forest.
