I took my kids to a state park in Mississippi last summer and asked them about what they thought when we finished a day of hiking.  Here’s what my angels said:

• Chairlifts need to be in some places so that we can get to the top without having to hike to them.
• Need more signs so we know what to look for in nature.
• A McDonald’s would be nice at the middle.
• Too many rocks in the mountains.

So this year we’re staying home. Money is tight as it is – I didn’t have much to spare and then last month the car broke down. I wasn’t sure how to pay for it, but then I found I could pawn my car, with Car Title Loans in Millbrook. I kept the car, of course, but used the money for the mechanic shop. I don’t like borrowing, but it was something I knew I could pay back over a few weeks.  It was a perfect answer to my problems, my own mountain to climb, but we got it done.  I called friends all around, in Autaugaville, Billingsley, Booth, Prattville, Marbury, to let them know about well this works.

I guess the richer you are, the more you pay for fuel. I heard that the cruise liner, Queen Elizabeth II, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns. Then again, the hybrids use less but they cost way more than they should.

But cars can be good for money, regardless of whether they’re old or new, Chevies or Lexuses. That’s because if you’re like me, once in a while you need more cash. It can be for an emergency, or an opportunity, like to buy something on sale. I use my five year old Honda for car title loans all the time. I used to go to a car pawn place, but now it’s easier than ever on the Internet.  I use Montgomery Car Title Loans, the best place I’ve found for convenience and time and rates. It takes about fifteen minutes max to fill out the form, then you get approved in less than an hour, then you get your money as early as the next day. It’s perfect.

I believe in it so much, I tell all my friends – it doesn’t matter where you live, they are in Prattville, Millbrook, Wetumpka, Hope Hull, Elmore – and they’ve all found it to be a good back up for cash crunch times.
