Blog, Blah, Blah....

Well, here we are...back at it, and hopefully as brand, spankin' new as 2008!

This is a very exciting time for me.  My new radio show launches tomorrow at 4:30 pm on WBCB, 1490 AM, and if you can't pick it up from where you are, you can always listen live on the web at www.wbcb1490.com.

Our inaugural guest is Marianne Holt, the Senior Community Educator of Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Delaware Valley-at www.cccsdv.org.  We'll be talking about getting credit, preserving credit and repairing credit.  I think this is pretty timely just after the holidays, where if you are like me, you spent way more than you had planned.  When it comes to getting ready for homeownership, it is especially important that your credit be in good shape.  This is even more critical given the credit and mortgage meltdown of recent months. 

We'll also be talking to Meade Tenaglia of Cardinal Financial, our Mortgage partner about what he looks for when helping someone finance a home.

So, tune in and let's get the New Year started profitably and stress-free, with some great credit tips and tools to set the tone for the rest of the year.
