I have been racking my brain over ways to furnish my house but NOT bankrupt myself in the process. I created a shopping list/budget for things I will need to purchase for my first house. Even after using sale prices for pieces at modest furniture and home decor stores, my total was inching a little over $7500. This includes all appliances, living room furniture, formal area, two bedrooms, dining, office, rugs, decor, and lighting. My facial expression ----> (Translation: "Good lawd dats a lot of money!!") So I started searching through sales papers, visited some furniture stores, and found different areas to cut back on. After recalculating the shopping list, my new budget is around $6500. My current facial expression ----> (Translation: "Uhhhhh....") Now I had only been looking at brand new furniture. I came across a website, Apartment Therapy , that I found very resourceful and pretty neat. I was inspired and started searching Craigs List

Cool you work for NASA my cousin works for them in Texas (in a round about way). That is so cool. You know they only hire the best of the best.

I've written a bit about this too including some tips. See if they're any help to you:
10 Ways to Increase Your Credit Score
Best of luck to you and keep paying your bill on time!
I checked out your link. Very good tips. Some I had no clue affected your credit score (i.e. personal loan). I hope to reach 720 or higher by the time I start house shopping (which would be around Feb 2008). I like your blog. Very useful info. I added you to my blogroll. Come back and visit again. :-D
say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
