Before You Apply For An International Student Loan_33035

Before you get all excited about the thought of obtaining an international student loan so that you can attend college at some exotic university in Beijing or Paris, hang onto your laptop. There are rules and regulations when it comes to these types of loans, and they are also extremely difficult to obtain. However, for the determined and the focused, there are ways to achieve the seemingly impossible. First, know the rules and regulations, and there's a ton of them.

First, in order to obtain an international student loan, you must be enrolled, or in the process of enrolling, at a foreign university or college program that is approved by the Education Resources Institute. Log onto their website for additional information that pertains to your needs. Then, keep in mind that you must be a United States citizen in order to have your application even accepted, let alone approved. And if you thought there was a lot of paperwork for your typical neighborhood college or university, just wait until you get the packet of paperwork for this type of student loan!

A peek into what will be needed is full contact information, full financial information, and that means don't keep any secrets. Parents are likely to groan when they see what needs to be done. The approving authorities are going to want to know about your mortgage, your credit history, present and past occupations and employer information for verification purposes. They're also going to want to know your gross yearly income and references. Students will be asked to provide proof of enrollment, most likely in the form of an acceptance letter or class schedule from the school they plan on attending.

In addition, a co-signer is often asked for. They must be able to verify a credit history for at least 21 months prior to the time of application, as well as proof of citizenship or permanent resident status. They also will be required to provide proof of income as well as a two year employment history, whether they're self-employed or not. That's just the beginning, and by the time you're done filling out the necessary papers and forms, there will be no such thing as a private aspect of your life.

However, balance all that with the benefits of attending a foreign university, and you may just have gotten yourself a deal. Oh, but don't forget that credit ratings for that international student loan are going to be based on your credit history rating, and that fees will depend on how much of a loan you're asking for. Nevertheless, the look in your son or daughter's eyes when that loan is finally approved makes it all worthwhile.

When applying for such a student loan, try to fill out the initial application as soon as they become available for the school year or semester that the student is accepted for. The red tape, processing and waiting times can be excruciatingly slow, so try to get a jump on the thousands of applications that are filed every year.

Become An Expert At Antique Bargain Spotting_48727

How do you tell the difference between an antique asset and a piece of old tat? One thing's for sure, get it right and your stylish home addition could also prove a safe and lucrative investment. And who better to advise on investing in the beguiling world of antiques than Paul Martin, presenter of Flog It! - one of the most popular daytime shows in BBC2's history.

"I spend all my money on antiques, it's like a drug - I live and breathe them," says Martin. "They're a fantastic investment. Buy something for a few thousand and a few years later, it can be worth double that when you come to sell it. As long as you're trading up, you're on to a winner."

A refreshing change to the staid antiques expert, Martin is genuinely passionate about the subject. "You need to find something you enjoy looking at, something that puts a smile on your face, not something that's going to make you and others go&what's that?!

"I believe antiques should be seen and shown off," he adds. "I don't agree with buying a wonderful oil painting that's so expensive you have to hide it away under lock and key."
Furniture Finds

Having studied art and woodwork at Falmouth College in Cornwall, Martin has some solid advice when it comes to buying furniture. "Why spend a fortune on something from the reproduction line or ?00 on having a carpenter recreate an antique look, when you can spend ?,200 on the real thing?"

"Look for good, solid, English furniture made of oak from the 17th and 18th century; wood that you can see your face in. It should look warm and tactile, with a dark colour and lots of texture. The test is, when you walk past a piece, you should want to put your hand out and touch it."

A Piece of History

Part of the joy of buying antiques is to learn about the history of the piece, says Martin, as well as enjoying its architectural delight. "Research a piece of furniture; get a feel for how something was built, learn why you like one piece more than another. You'll see its virtues and appreciate it that bit more. And if it's a painting, go to an exhibition and learn why some pieces sell for more than others.

"And later, should you get fed up with it, sell it back to the auction house you bought it from and make some money. That's the thing with antiques, you're not wasting money, it isn't going to depreciate. And it can be practical, functional and something you can enjoy.

"There are no rules when it comes to choosing an antique that suits you and your home; it's all about good design. At the end of the day, you can't show off your bank statement or your ISA at a dinner party, but you can impress your peers with a striking Cromwellian piece of furniture. It's fun; it's theatre. Enjoy it and have a laugh."

All sage advice from the Flog it! front man, and here's some more from Confused.com: if you're filling your home with pricey antiques, it's a good idea to make sure those perfect purchases are covered by your
home insurance - so check your contents cover policy wording.

Paul Martin's Tips

* Look at The Antiques Trade Gazette, which has a list of auction houses and tips on what to look for.
* Do your homework. Research the period and the pieces you're interested in.
* Always buy something that's signed by an artist or has the maker's name and label, and never buy anything that's been restored. Prominence always adds to the value and helps with the resale.
* Go a few days before the auction to view the object when it's quiet. Measure it up and talk to the auctioneer.
* Look at the auction catalogue and have a maximum amount in mind you're willing to bid.
* Book a phone line on auction day, so you can stay focused from the comfort of your own home and keep within the limits you've set.

And Paul's Top Tip...

"Buy something from the 20th century - something that's going to fit in a contemporary interior. Look for artists from the 1930s-1950s, like Terry Frost, famous for his abstract prints and Dame Laura Knight."  

Beat The Recession With A Second Income_50793

In the current economic climate, it is more important than ever to get rid of all the extra debt such as credit cards and so forth. One way of doing this is by earning a second income and using that income solely for paying off debts. If you have no debts, you could use it to build up savings for lean times.

However, unless you are lucky enough to win the lottery, a second income means a second job and few people want to do that. Because of this, you need to look openly at all of the alternatives.

For people who are working in low income jobs, this extra income makes a huge difference. The fact that debts are going down and the bills are getting paid makes people happier in general. They are also able to have those few extra luxuries that improve their quality of life.

Oddly enough, richer countries tend to see money as a yardstick of happiness. An average person in a wealthy country has more than an average person in a poorer country and yet is less happy. This is because income is relative to the economic climate of the particular country. The average continues to rise and therefore, the spending rises in proportion to the income.

Making a second income can be done either offline or online. You may choose to take on weekend work or a job in the evenings. This can be tiring and takes you away from your family for even more time each week.

The other option is to utilize technology and get involved in an internet business. Learn which businesses do well and consider their strengths and weaknesses. Consider your own strengths and weaknesses in order to decide whether you are able to make a go of an internet business. In some cases, the instructions are all provided for you. All you need to do is follow them.

The internet is a great media tool for reaching millions and gives a much broader audience for your marketing efforts than most offline or standard media tools. Much of the process of achieving online income involves turning a stranger into a consumer by successful marketing strategies.

Of course, you may not have a product to sell. In this case, there are numerous programs on the internet where you can sell products for others on a commission basis. Many people make a very healthy living out of this form of marketing.

There is also the option of selling on EBay by using a dropshipping firm. In this scenario, you sell the product and the dropshipping company handles the packing and delivery of it. You pay the dropshipping company their price and anything over that is profit.

So, don�t give up because of the current economic downturn. Be a survivor by looking ahead right now. Don�t wait for redundancy to hit before you look at alternatives. If you get a business up and running now, you may be able to pay off outstanding debts before redundancy hits you if it hits you at all.
