For the past few weeks I have been watching the NBA playoffs.

On TNT they have the slogan "Win or Go Home".

As I heard this it got me to thinking about credit either you have it or you don't.

You may be surprised but I love basketball.

More than that I love the NBA Basketball Playoffs.

I might sound bias.

I like the east coast teams better than the west coast.

I'm learning to be a true BUDGETER!

"Yeah, this budgeting thing, it's just completely changed my life. I've got to stop. I think there's a 12-step program out there somewhere for people like me, you know, people that are reaching their financial goals, don't feel guilty about spending money, have great communication with their spouse, etc.
Hi. My name is Jesse and I'm a budgeter".
This a recent quote that I read from an email Jesse Mecham founder of You Need A Budget
Many times we think that being a budgeter as a poor person who does not have financial means so they have to pinch pennies.
He talks about in this email how he checked his bank account several times a day.
He had a few overdraft fees from checks he didn't think they were going to cash.
Does that sound familiar???

"With any kind of credit obligation it's really critical to always pay on time," says Ben Woolsey, director of marketing and consumer research for CreditCards. "Don't ignore any obligations like student loans or utility bills or cellphone bills. Lenders are starting to scrutinize those sorts of things."
