Life Lessons: Debt Don'ts
Updated On: Apr 19 2013 07:45:27 AM CDT
Studies show many Americans have significant debt.
Between the mortgage, student loans, car loans and credit cards, debt can keep mounting which can get some families into trouble.
The latest numbers from the Federal Reserve show the average American family has credit card debt at more than $7,000.
Debt can be dangerous but there are a few things you can do to make sure your debt doesn't get out of control.
Here are a few tips from financial experts:
A credit card for food, one for air miles, another for points, using plastic when you don't have cash can add up to some real problems.
First off, it sounds tempting. Buy some clothes, sign up for a store credit card, and save money.
But if you don't pay it off at the end of each month, you'll pay interest on the entire amount you initially charged, often at a higher rate than a typical credit card.
One of the biggest debt don'ts? Just because you get married doesn't mean you have to take on your spouse's debt.
Although many couples do want to take on the burden together, the responsibility falls on the person who incurred the debt before marriage.
Beware of refinancing if it means you'll be responsible for someone else's debt.
Also, you will be responsible for any debt incurred after you wed, even if your name is not on the account.
Does a late credit card payment damage your credit score?
Although late payments can bring fees, experts say unless you're past 30 days late, it probably won't put a dent in your credit score.

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett have been making the media rounds promoting Cheek To Cheek, the joint jazz LP they're dropping in September. While it's clear the singers come from different eras in popular music, just precisely how big is the age difference between the two stars?
Gwen, Nicki…Blake Lively? Iggy Azalea's Top 10 Style-spirations
Nothing's new. We know this. All of our favorite artists have inspirations, but the genius is in flipping the style and making it their own! Iggy Azalea, formerly Amethyst Amelia Kelly (seriously, she could've used this as her stage name), is the queen of "borrowing" from the luminaries that preceded her. Some are obvious; i.e. her Gwen Stefani influence is massive. Others are a bit more surprising — Traci Lords? Really? But the style-shifting Australian emcee has managed to make each of their signature looks her own.
INTERVIEW: Lady Gaga Hints At Tour With Tony Bennett During Cheek To Cheek Taping In NYC
After numerous delays, it looks like Cheek To Cheek, Lady Gaga's long-awaited album of jazz classics with Tony Bennett, is about to become a reality.

Top 10 Most Naked Music Videos in the History of Nudity
With everyone in a kurfluffle over VH1′s new unscripted show Naked Dating (Thursdays, 9/8C), we got to thinking about nudity in media. Where's the last place it's totally acceptable to be sans clothing in public (besides dates, apparently)? Music videos. Yep, your favorite divas, R&B crooners, and post-punk bands have all dropped trou — and bras, and panties — in the name of record promotion.
I'll Wear What He's Wearing: 10 Ways That Marilyn Manson Inspired Lady Gaga
When it comes to Lady Gaga's style, she seems like a true original. Hooded leotards, Kermit dresses, the meat frock thing — she was born that way. Right? No. One of Gaga's most important inspirations might surprise you: Sir Marilyn Manson. The shock rocker's debut album Portrait of an American Family turns 20 years old today, and it got us thinking about all of the artists it has influenced, from hardcore acts to Mother Monster herself.
Lady Gaga "Accidentally" Shares Nip Slip Photo On Facebook, Becomes The Latest Social Media Flasher
It all started off innocently enough. Lady Gaga took to Facebook to give her Little Monsters a better look at her "vintage Mugler" apparel. Pretty sweet, right? But things took a NSFW turn when she ended up showing much more than just her haute couture style.

Hot Docs '10 REVIEW: Sona, The Other Myself
ソナ、もうひとりの私 (Sona, moo hitori no watashi)
Released: 2009
Yonghi Yang
Running time: 82 min.
Reviewed by Marc Saint-Cyr
Japanese-born Korean filmmaker Yonghi Yang's documentary "Sona, the Other Myself" examines transnational family relations with a twist. Her focus rests on her three brothers and their families who live in Pyongyang , North Korea – thus a world apart from Yang and her parents in Osaka , Japan . The film covers the time period between 1995 and 2004, during which Yang sees her separated family members only four times. In the meantime, her mother provides them with much-needed hope and sustenance through mailed parcels, one of which Yang follows to the post office at the start of the film.
The Sona of the film's title is Yang's niece, who grows drastically between the latter's sporadic visits from a toddler to a teenager with braces. It becomes clear that Sona is a very smart and sensible girl who learns to adapt to the various difficulties and conditions in her life. One especially touching scene shows her with her family at her mother's grave on the one-year anniversary of her death. But then there are, of course, the lurking hazards of the society she lives in that she is all too aware of. At one point, some concern is expressed regarding the Mickey Mouse socks she chooses to wear, since they sport a blatant mascot of Western culture. Sona also often expresses unease from her aunt's constantly recording camera, at one point asking her in a hushed voice to turn it off.
Such moments are some of the results of Yang's home movie approach. Though she often talks to her subjects as she records them with her camera, her style is also very laid-back and observational. The bulk of the film consists of her capturing small moments with her family as they talk, eat and celebrate the temporary reunions together. They enjoy each other's company, knowing very well just how precious each moment together is. Surely enough, the distance between Osaka and Pyongyang becomes more strongly felt after Gongsun, Yang's father, suffers a stroke, and his grandsons can only relay get-well messages to him via camera footage instead of in person. There is also the sudden severance of Yang and Sona's fragile connection after Yang is banned from North Korea because of her previous film "Dear Pyongyang" (which focuses more on Gongsun and the reasons why he sent his three sons to North Korea in the 1970s). As a result, the footage of her day with the thirteen year-old Sona becomes a valuable keepsake of the last moments (to date) they spent together.
"Sona, the Other Myself" is clearly a very personal film, but also very informative and sensibly made. Some scenes show the massive, elaborate performances and parades in North Korea – essentially grand celebrations of conformity and dictatorship that are visibly dazzling and more than a little unsettling. Then there are the quieter, more intimate moments like the autumn stroll Gongsun takes with one of his sons as Yang captures them from a distance, and her walk with Sona to school, which represents for the young girl a world altogether different from the one her aunt comes from. There is never the sense of an agenda that is being strictly followed and imposed throughout the film, but instead a looser approach that asks viewers to connect the dots themselves given what they are shown – and this is no doubt partially a safety measure so as to protect Yang's depicted family members from the regime they live under. In this cautious yet still perceptive fashion, "Sona, the Other Myself" bases social and cultural issues on an intensely personal level, which is what many of the best historical and documentary films do. In sharing her family's plight, Yang skillfully spreads awareness while also forging a strong, rare bond between her subjects – her family – and her viewers.

It's been a busy and successful seven days for online retailers. Black Friday and Cyber Monday traffic and sales were well above 2011, and there was the extra benefit to those businesses that started deals on Thanksgiving Night. The traffic data collected by the Compuware Ecommerce and Retail Real use Monitoring index matched almost exactly the pattern seen by Akamai for all of their US ecommerce and retail customers on the three busiest days.
Mobile Commerce
Performance for many mobile sites has been cited elsewhere as being slow on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Looking at the data over a longer period of time shows that most sites varied little from their regular mobile performance metrics, showing little or no performance difference compared to the week leading up to these peak shopping days.
While this is good news for performance, it is bad news for mobile readiness, as customer expectations for mobile web performance are nearly identical to the expectations they have for desktop web performance, with the majority of customers expecting pages to load in 3 seconds or less, regardless of time, place, and device.
Mobile has come into its own this year, and data from the Compuware Ecommerce and Retail Real User Measurement index shows that during the Thanksgiving Day to Cyber Monday period, mobile devices made up 16% of the total traffic, with over 75% of the mobile traffic coming from iPads. What was even more interesting is that our data supported comments from industry analysts that state that Apple iOS users spend more time on their devices, as 85% of all mobile device traffic came from iOS devices.
Where Do Customers Come from?
In the U.S., our data shows that nearly 50% of the total traffic for the sites on our Ecommerce and Retail index originated from just nine states. This will likely vary from retailer to retailer and highlights the need to be able to monitor performance from where customers are, on the computers and networks they use.
We will continue to monitor trends throughout the Holiday Season.

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - The LA Angels of Anaheim spotted C.J. Wilson an early cushion, which helped him snap out of a prolonged winless slide.
Kendrys Morales and Chris Iannetta each smacked a two-run homer, while Wilson tossed six innings of three-run ball in the Angels' 10-3 rout of the Boston Red Sox in the middle test of a three-game set.
Winless over his past 11 starts with a 7.20 ERA in that span, Wilson (10-9) fanned four, surrendered eight hits and walked two. It's his first win since June 26th against the Baltimore Orioles.
"It was good to go out there and get some solid innings," Wilson said. "I just simplified stuff tonight and hit my spots. I threw a ton of strikes, the bats gave me a nice lead early."
Torii Hunter tallied three hits, two RBI and a run scored for the Angels, who have won six of their last eight games.
Zach Stewart (1-3), who was acquired from the Chicago White Sox, along with Brent Lillibridge, on June 24 in exchange for Kevin Youkilis and cash, was rocked in his Red Sox debut. He allowed nine runs on 10 hits in three innings.
"Zach got too many pitches up, he has to keep the ball down in the zone," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. "He wasn't very good tonight."
The Angels plated nine runs over the first three frames to take a 9-1 lead.
Mike Trout singled to begin the home first before coming home on Hunter's double to left field. Hunter came home on Albert Pujols' single and Morales launched a two-run homer to right field for a 4-0 Angels advantage.
Scott Podsednik's sacrifice fly got the Red Sox on the board in the second, but the Angels got the run back in the home half on Hunter's RBI single to make it a 5-1 game.
Back-to-back RBI doubles by Alberto Callaspo and Erick Aybar in the third, followed by Iannetta's two-run shot to left-center field gave the Halos a 9-1 edge.
Podsednik, who led off the fifth with a single, later scored on an Iannetta throwing error when Jacoby Ellsbury stole second. Ellsbury came home on Dustin Pedroia's single.
The Angels, though, answered with a run in the home half. Mark Trumbo began the frame with a walk and later scored when Callaspo grounded into a double play, which made it 10-3.
Wilson's 11 straight starts with at least 4 2/3 innings pitched and no
victories is tied for the fifth longest single season stretch since 1918 ...
The Angels went 6-for-16 with runners in scoring position, while Boston
finished 1-for-10.
Eric Wolford has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the Youngstown State football program.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.
The Miami Dolphins have signed cornerback R.J. Stanford and waived cornerback Jalil Brown.
The Chicago White Sox officially announced Tuesday that the team has agreed to terms with veteran first baseman Adam LaRoche on a two-year, $25 million contract.
You probably know that the two NBA teams with 12 wins are the Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors.
At first glance, the San Jose Sharks appear to be a mildly disappointing team this season, but the club's record doesn't tell the whole story.

Judge Greg Mathis, of Judge Mathis fame, is planning his gaming development debut. According to a recent Yahoo! Games article, the good judge will be teaming up with 187 Ride or Die contributor Matty Rich to create a third-person action game for the 360, PS3 and PC titled -- wait for it -- keep waiting (seriously, it's worth it) -- Mathis "Detroit" Street Judge.
In the game, you play La-Ron Washington, a recently released inmate who's trying to help out his community to turn his life around. However, with Detroit's toughest gangs chasing him down for a murder he didn't commit, he'll have to play it smart to avoid the game's penal consequences, which Judge Mathis took care to delicately explain.
"When you go to prison you can also be raped," Mathis said. "We may see young people who make the wrong choice and go to prison and are assaulted repeatedly." So, yeah. There that is.

WASHINGTON — The House has passed a $1 trillion-plus catchall budget bill paying for day-to-day budgets of 10 Cabinet departments and averting a government shutdown.
The 296-121vote to approve the measure represented a rare moment of bipartisanship in a polarized Capitol. Lawmakers are also seeking compromise on separate legislation to renew jobless benefits and a cut in payroll taxes.
The bill trims most domestic agencies and awards the Pentagon the smallest budget hike in recent memory. It pays for overseas military operations and a slew of programs ranging from border security to flood control to combating AIDS and famine in Africa.

Global Baristas is working to hold on to Tully's name
Send this to a friend
- Rachel Lerman
- Staff Writer- Puget Sound Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Global Baristas, which purchased Tully's retail business last year, has "significant issues" with the way Keurig Green Mountain has handled its licensing agreement, but is working toward a resolution, the coffee company said in a statement Tuesday.
Keurig Green Mountain, which owns Tully's wholesale operations and the Tully's brand, has sued in federal court, alleging Global Baristas is in violation of its licensing agreement.
Ending the licensing agreement could result in the coffee shops no longer being able to use the Tully's name.
"We are working to resolve any issues with Keurig/GMCR, including significant issues we have with the way they have handled the license. We are confident that an amicable resolution will be announced shortly," Global Baristas spokeswoman Suzy Quinn said in an email to the Puget Sound Business Journal.
The lawsuit claims Global Baristas used an unapproved coffee supplier for Tully's coffee that's sold in retail stores. The company is selling beans from Dillanos Coffee Roasters, which Keurig never signed off on, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit also says Global Baristas have entered into an agreement with the International Motor Sports Association without approval from Keurig.
The Seattle Times reports Keurig says Global Baristas owes it more than $469,000.
Keurig sent Global Baristas a warning with 30 days to fix the violations, according to the filed complaint. Global Baristas didn't act and the licensing agreement was terminated April 27.
If the issue is not resolved, Global Baristas wouldn't be allowed to use the Tully's name in retail stores, after a phase-out period, said Keurig spokeswoman Sandy Yusen.
The change would not affect the wholesale business, which Keurig owns and operates.
"Our actions have been to try to work directly with Global Baristas. Our preference is to continue those efforts provided that Global Baristas is willing to abide by the terms of the contract," Yusen said. "Our primary concern is the reputation of the Tully's brand name and ensuring that Tully's consumers experience the coffee that they've come to expect with the brand."
