Whats your reaction when you finally cleared the exam? I can’t describe my feelings in words. I have been waiting for that moment for 4 years and that should the happiest moment in my life.

10 Reasons to Use Your Credit Card

10 Reasons to Use Your Credit Card  Personal finance experts spend a lot of energy trying to prevent us from using credit cards – and with good reason. Many of us abuse them and end up in debt. But contrary to popular belief, if you can use the plastic responsibly, you're actually much better off paying with a credit card than with a debit card and keeping cash transactions to a minimum. Let's examine why your trusty credit card comes out on top. 1. Signup Bonuses (aka Money for Nothing) There's nothing like a welcome-aboard perk. Applicants with good credit can get approved for credit cards that offer signup bonuses worth anywhere from $50 to $250 (and sometimes even more). Other cards thank newcomers by bestowing on them a large number of reward points that can be redeemed for fun stuff (more on those below). In contrast, a standard debit card that comes with a bank account offers zero money or very small rewards. 2. Rewards/Points Rewards are the ne plus ...

What is 'Money Laundering' Money laundering is the process of creating the appearance that large amounts of money obtained from criminal activity, such as drug trafficking or terrorist activity, originated from a legitimate source.
