More NICKELS for your pocket.

Hey Oregonians!
Are you tired of your garbage and recycling bins looking separated by what is considered trash, recyclable glass, and recyclable for cash?

Ever had a ton of these in the waste of money pile?

Well now there is a new bill that will include juice, tea, energy drinks and many other types of glass, plastic and aluminum drink bottles to the original bottle bill that has changed our state, and cleaned up many other states that have adopted and adapted to this ingenius bill.

Sure we pay for it at the pump, per se, but we get it back with a little effort.  And it ensures and enforces recycling and helps eliminate the temptation of littering. 

The Bottle Bill is nearly 40 years old, and just like any good idea needs to keep up with the times.  So far it has passed the state house, and on to the state senate.  Hopefully it will be approved and adapted in the next couple of years.

Put a home on Layaway?

No matter how much the government tries to help, banks are still having difficulty making loans to the average homeowner.
Eventually renters want to become buyers. And in this economy, the loan qualification task is becoming harder and harder for most renters.
The more you save, the more the bank just raised the down payment requirement. The harder you work on fixing your credit, the higher the score is needed to qualify.

A Lease Option or (Layaway) is a way to still fix a price with a seller... rent the property... and still build equity. Eventually you will need a loan. But in a couple years, lending qualifications will be more lenient. And the money you have spent on deposits and rent won't all be wasted as fees. They will now be credited toward something.
