So your just about to start college, a new phase of your life is about to begin, but there’s one big thing missing from the experience. Your own car. There is a certain confidence that comes along with owning your own ride and with one of the most influential times in your life about to start, you want to make sure that your ready to take the bull by the horns in every way possible.

There’s just one problem, how the heck are you suppose to pay for one when you (or your parents) are about to drop thousands on your education? Fortune for you, it has become much easier for people in your situation to qualify for  student car loans. There are a few things that you should consider first before going out and picking the car of your dreams.

The first thing is that in no way shape or form will this first car of yours most likely be your dream car. I'm not talking about finding the cheapest and most run down car around. You actually want the complete opposite. The most intelligent thing to do would be to find the most dependalbe car you can comfortably drive. The whole college experience will have enough twists and turns to keep you on your feet. The last thing that you'll want is to spend all your extra money on fixing your car.

Another thing to take into consideration is the environment that your going to be in. If your going to school for forestry or conservation your most likely going to be in a highly wooded or mountainous region so something like a Jeep would be more appropriate. On the flip side, if your going to be located in the outskirts of a major city and suburbia is going to be more of your daily commute, they by all means see if you can handle something compact like a ford focus. Remember, this is not the time to get real picky. Keep that in your back pocket for when you get your real job.

When Will This Credit Crisis Ease?

They talk about the green shoots of recovery; well I have not seen any, have you? I personally think that it is a form of increase confidence trick; an attempt to make people believe that the worst of this current recession is over.

They, and when I say they I am talking about the Government and business leaders, are no doubt hoping that this new confidence (false as it undoubtedly is) will spur people on to start spending money again; to start buying houses etc. In reality the only way this credit crunch will ease is when the banks start to lend money again, at reasonable interest rates. I am already started to read reports about the ways in which these bankers have returned to their greedy bonus culture? The bigger question is why are the Government allowing them to make the same mistakes again when we, the taxpayer, are the major shareholder? What our great country needs is a strong hand at the top, a person who can be a “real leader”.

Now I am not some financial whizz kid who thinks he has all of the answers. I am in fact just an average working class guy from the UK who runs a web promotion company and who also has a partnership in a company that offers a professional DVD duplication service. I do however watch and listen in amazement at times when I see what some of the politicians and greedy bankers say – they really are not in the real world – they probably would have absolutely no idea as to the average cost of a pint of milk or loaf of broad – they are complete jokers and a waste of space.

I personally believe that this current credit crisis will last until the end of 2010, at least. I know that this seem rather negative but it is just my opinion on the situation. With a stronger leadership this would no doubt change but while the Labour cronies continue to bicker and squabble what chance have we got? Bring in Vince Cable I say as the new Labour leader!
