A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

And in this economy, I come to a lot of conclusions.  I conclude that a Saturday night at home is easier than finding a way to do something for under $25. I conclude that I like my job even though it gives me a headache every single day and my boss is a lunatic.  I conclude that living in Park Ridge is paradise, even though I grew up in Florida and married the man who grew up three blocks from Hillary.

I also conclude that there are times when you do things with money you never expected to.  Last fall, our daughter was set to start at Loyola University and we learned we didn’t get the financial assistance we thought she was going to get.  Classes were going to start in three weeks, but we didn’t have the cash to cover that first semester’s tuition.  We didn’t know where to find it, since my husband’s commissions were low all year and I was worried about a layoff. So we went online and found a fast loan source – a car title loan through Park Ridge Title Loans.  I would never have done this if I had to go to a currency exchange or one of those other places.  But this is based on the Internet.  You get your money in like two days and that’s just what we needed.  I’d recommend car title loans to anyone who needs cash fast for important things.

By the way Park Ridge  is near Wilmette, Des Plaines, Lincolnwood, Glenview, and Harwood Heights.

I read an article that said that the symptoms of stress are impulse buying, eating too much and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That’s what I call a perfect day.

Ah, but the stress of job hunting and unemployment are starting to wear on me. A friend of mine was telling me that she was doing Botox as part of her strategy to find a job. I liked the idea, but didn’t think I had the spare cash for treatments. It’s about $500 in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, more downtown at some of the specialists.

I decided it was a $500 investment in getting a better paying job. So when I was looking at my reflection in the mirror of my car, all clean and shiny and paid for, I realized I was looking at my Botox financing. I had heard about car title loans and went online where I found Morton Grove Title Loans. It was fast, easy, painless and instant (money arrives the next day in your checking account). And I look fabulous.

Of course, everyone I run into in town immediate says I look so young and fresh. I love Morton Grove. It’s nice to live in a small town, because even if you don’t know what you are doing, someone else does.

By the way Morton Grove is near Niles, Glenview, Northfield, Wilmette, and Lincolnwood.

My husband thought it would be good for the kids to take up camping.  You know, the tent, kerosene stove, everything packed on top the car, sleeping bags, trying to stay dry in the rain, the whole thing.

I say camping is nature’s way of feeding mosquitos.  But I lost that argument. So there we were, scheduled to head out to Yellowstone in four days, leaving our nice air conditioned house in Des Plaines behind us in July.  But Hal took the SUV in for servicing and we get hit with a $2300 estimate. For that kind of money we could have flown to someplace without bugs, snakes and mountain lions.  But the kids had their hearts set on it.

Anyway, that was not a good time to get hit with that bill.  So in a rush, I went on the internet and found Des Plaines Title Loans, where I found the money we needed.  And in a way, it was a perfect solution, using the car title loan to fix the car.  But the important part was we got the money the next day, and the approval in one hour.  That way we were able to get the car repaired at his favorite mechanic’s on Rand Road in time for the trip.

In the end, the kids and Hal had a good time.  And I get to chose where we go next year.

By the way Des Plaines is near Mt Prospect, Park Ridge, Wheeling, Glenview, and Northbrook.
