Wasn't it harder to be financed for some things. My mom was telling me about when she turned 18. She had every card, out there. She also told me she received instant approval on an auto loan and put a 6k down payment on a credit card. What happened to these days?! Wasn't it harder to get financed and interest rates were higher? My dad bought a Mercedes in 99' with tier 1 credit but was still charged like 9-13% intrest
You have to be more specific when you say "Back in the day". With the recent failures of so many major and minor banks, as well as mortgage companies, credit criteria have tightened, making it more difficult to arrange financing. But, this has mostly affected people with damaged credit, since they're the ones who have defaulted on past loans and/or credit card accounts. People with perfect credit histories are still able to borrow money, so keep your payment history clean.
It was pretty easy to accumulate a lot of different credit cards, though, just as recently as about 4-5 years ago. Most lenders don't like to see you put a down payment on a car or house with a credit card, as the payments that you will have to make on the credit card will change your debt to income ratio. If it raises it over their threshold, you stand a good chance of getting turned down for the car or mortgage.
And finally, the vehicle has a lot to do with the rate that you pay on a car note, so if your father bought a used Mercedes (you didn't specify new or used), the rate will be higher than if he bought a new one. And since you couldn't be specific on the rate (there's a big difference between 9 and 13%), and I don't have a copy of his credit report to look at, I can't tell you why he paid that rate 11 years ago.

Like The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity is an impressive and harrowing indie chiller that derives much of its terror--and there is quite a bit of that in its brief running time--by playing on the most basic of human fears: that which cannot be seen. Though one might assume that the point-of-view aesthetic had been worn out thanks to Cloverfield and Quarantine (and, lest one forgets, Blai...
Television historian Alvin H. Marill has compiled a comprehensive listing of every film made for television since the first was broadcast in 1964. Each entry cites the film`s original network, airdate, length of broadcast, extensive production credits (director, writer, producer, composer, director of photography, and editor), and a complete cast (and character) listing, as well as a brief summary. Five volumes including complete actor and director indexes.
Cynical news hounds, grumbling editors, snooping television newscasters, inquisitive foreign correspondents, probing newsreel cameramen, and a host of others--all can be found in this reference work to Hollywood`s version of journalism: from the early one-reelers to modern fare, over a thousand silent and sound films can be found. Each entry includes title, date of release, distributor, director, screenwriter, and major cast members. These credits are followed by a brief plot summary and analysis, cross-references and other information. The book is arranged alphabetically, and includes a preface, introduction, bibliography, a list of abbreviations, appendices, and an index of names. The detailed introduction covers an historical survey of the topic, with numerous film examples. The work also includes a selection of stills from various films.

Does anyone still carry cash in thier wallets? Or have most people switched over to credit/debit cards?
When I need money I go to the bank or ATM and withdraw cash. I really like the feel of cash leaving my hands and get to feel the money being spent.
Do you enjoy having money in your wallet? I do!
Debit cards and credit cards aren't real money to me. When you hand over paper dollar bills it may hurt if you are buying something too expensive. When you use plastic you don't feel any pain when spending money.
1000 in cash, rest in cards. Don't really use the cash unless they only take cash.

This book analyses the processes of institution and identity building of the European Union Diplomatic Service, working on matters of foreign policy and external economic relations, both in Brussels and in the Commission`s Delegations across the worldThe author explains how the EU diplomatic network came into being, how it is currently organized and what changes have taken place with the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty. Through an empirically grounded and theoretically informed approach, the book analyses how the idea of Europe is enacted through the Commission`s diplomatic practices, and examines images that high-ranking officials involved in EU foreign policy hold of the EU`s and of the Commission`s role in international politics. Demonstrating how processes of socialization can bring about different foreign policy priorities, role conceptions and identities, The European Union Diplomatic Service makes an important contribution to debates about the idea of Europe, the European Union and European foreign policy. It is an invaluable analysis of how ideas, identities and self-images shape the daily practice of large institutional bodies in international politicsThe European Union Diplomatic Service will be of interest to students and scholars of European politics, foreign policy, international organizations, international relations and diplomacy

Credit Card Generators scam? Whats going to happen?
Well my friend from overseas was talking to me online and said "i just found this program that generates credit card numbers". And me being a pessimist say "Oh yeah man, go try it on this drum kit and mail it to me".
We did this thing where i viewed his screen through mine and then he ordered the $700 drum kit and inputted the credit card number and his adress and it worked....
I know this is punishable by law, but what could possibly happen to ME, since i didnt take any active part in it?
I am sorry but your friend is a liar.
i too have a credit card number generator,
so probably do thousands of others.
you can not use them to buy anything.
because you need the four digit security code that goes with the number,
without that number the credit card generator only has limited use,
such as using it to gain entry to sites that ask for a credit card number.
