I have lived in Sylacauga all my life, but I’m fascinated with the outside world. My best friend in high school, who lives in California today, has been everywhere, and she knows all these facts.  Like, If the population of China walked past you in single file, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction. Personally, I wonder about those people standing in line making babies, but I’ve never been there so maybe they would do things like that. I don’t judge.

I don’t necessarily agree with the way other people handle their money, but I’ve learned it doesn’t make sense to tsk tsk tsk just because someone runs short on cash. I say this because even though my car is paid for and I’m a hard worker, I ran into a cash shortage myself about a month ago. My son got into some trouble and I had to hire a lawyer for him. Turns out it cost me $2000. My son has a job and is going to to school, but he didn’t have the money either.

So I used my car and went to Car Title Loans in Sylacauga, a car pawn shop that’s online.  It was a perfect solution – we got the money and paid the lawyer on time for the court proceedings.

My friends from all over – in Childersburg, Lincoln, Oxford, Talladega, Bon Air, and Sylacauga – tell me they’ve had similar needs for cash, and that title loans are they way they manage it.

There are some facts in life a person can’t explain or argue with.  For example, the names of all the continents end with the same letter that they start with (if you leave out the “North” and “South” part of the Americas). Taxes come due every year. Death will happen. Animals and humans have waste to dispose of.

And when you live in Oxford, you have to have a good instinct to avoid buying things you don’t need. Ever since we became a retail center just off Interstate 20, I’ve seen a lot of girlfriends waste time and money on shoes and clothes they don’t need and can’t afford.

I’m a lot more sensible than that, but it still wasn’t good enough to keep me out of money trouble a few months ago. We had a medical emergency in our family that left us with a $1600 bill we didn’t know how to pay. So my husband looked at his car and said, “I’ll go to a car pawn shop.” I didn’t like the sound of that until I discovered Car Title Loans in Oxford, a car title loans store that’s entirely on the Internet. The money arrived in two days and we were able to get the bill collectors off our back then pay back that loan as we could.

I talked to my friends all around the area – in Alexandria, Anniston, Blue Mountain, Bynum, Ohatchee and Oxford – and they all agree this is a deal that can make sense for them too.
