However, I find that most banks view me as a considerable risk because of my maxed out credit cards, and each attempt I make to acquire a loan is denied. I am not quite ready to give up on my business. It is all I have. So, I am hoping someone can tell me where I can go to get an approved loan that will give me the cash I need to pay of my credit card balances, without all the hassles. Step by step so won't hurt either

The part I liked best the approval process, besides getting back a response from the company so fast, was that they did not restrict me in any way as far as how I could spend my approved funds. I was able to pay of my credit cards and successfully separate my personal credit from my business credit. This sure did make my yearly tax return routine a whole lot easier. Besides, with my approved loan, I was able to offer my business and personal credit history another chance at survival.

It is a slight predicament, but overall health should come first. While processed foods might be cheaper, there can be ways to budget and get those less refined items. Perhaps buying in bulk, making meals and freezing them could be a good way to eating healthier while saving some money.

I agree that there isn't a lot to choose between the two. In the end, the boundary system is basically a more detailed budget. But I suppose it does offer some thought in terms of breaking things down even smaller. It's not really my style. I'm more of a "spending plan" person. ;) ...
