The Trouble With Credit Cards

Don’t like reading the fine print? How can we blame you. Most of the time it’s hard to find magnifying glasses strong enough to see it. But don’t be fooled—it’s everywhere, and it sure seems like sometimes it’s there just to take advantage of people with bad eyesight.
The world of financial services–you [...]

Fed Mysteries…Explained!

As you’ve probably noticed, there has been a lot of talk lately about the US economy going into recession, mortgage foreclosures, and Wall Street shenanigans. In an effort to soften the blow to the economy, the US Federal Reserve lowered its key Federal Funds rate (the rate at which banks lend money to each [...]

Love and Marriage—The Zopa Way

Fall in love. Get married. What could be more human? It’s one of the oldest and most beautiful one-two combinations that we have. It’s even older then the sun rising in the East and setting in the West. Okay, maybe not that old. But it’s certainly older than Zopa.
And we’re okay with that, because Zopa, [...]

Prosper and my junk…

So recently I’ve had a HUGE surge in junk mail, junk email and junk phone calls from people in the past few months. When I asked one of them today where they got my business name (FANAFI Foundation) they politely told me it was SOLD to them by Prosper Marketplace, Inc.! I have had a [...]

Jeff Bezo’s company sucks (Amazon.com)!

When ordering online, steer clear of Amazon.com’s inept service and shipping department in order to ensure your anniversary gift arrives on-time. Heather ordered me a brand new iPod Touch (16GB) for the amazingly low, low price of $358.99 per their website. Add overnight shipping and it’s still about $60 cheaper than purchasing locally.
So attempt #1… [...]

Dr. LendingClub, Mr. Prosper…

First, I want to re-thank the lenders who helped make our loan restructuring at LendingClub.com possible. It has been ‘Issued’ as of this afternoon! The Prosper loan repayment is to take place once the funds land in our account (tomorrow perhaps, Monday likely).  The savings of $310+ will not be in vain or spent on [...]

Loan repayments are coming to town!

On this Christmas Eve we are thankful that our first wave of loan repayments are hitting the Lending Club account! The Lending Club has been a much overlooked gem in a growing sea of P2P companies (Prosper, GlobeFunder, Loanio, etc) and wannabes (Zopa for example). We are finally satisfied with the symbiotic relationship we have [...]

P2P Lending Advice!

Brett over at PLP took the time to interview several P2P lenders (myself included)… Definitely bookmarking/reference material for all those looking to dip their toe (or dive head first!) into the P2P lending! Prosper and Lending Club are both highlighted here. I would love to see a follow up by someone on the merits of [...]

Zzzzz… Zopa.com

Have you ever been promised something, then that day comes and you don’t get exactly what you were told you were getting (kind of like Christmas morning)? Well, that is how I feel about Zopa.com. I remember hearing and cheering this idea on back in the Fall of 2006… Hmmm, quick check of the calendar [...]

Top Ten ‘Thanks’

Since the taste of turkey and yams and cranberry sauce and… Ok, I’m stopping because my stomach just rumbled. These things will soon fill our homes and stomaches with joy and fellowship with friends and family. For safe digestion, one must have a top ten list of ‘thanks’ for the year to share with others.
