Labor Day Holiday Travel

Despite the rise in gasoline prices in the last few weeks some thirty-three million people will be traveling this Labor Day weekend.  That’s a 3% increase over last year according to AAA. The vast majority of those travelers – 85% — will let the rubber hit the road and travel by car. Most travelers will cover a distance of 50 -200 miles. With time at a premium and gas prices high the idea is to stay close to home. The major U.S. cities will be very crowded over the long weekend, as visitors get in their back-to-school and fall shopping, […] Read more

Making Payments On Time is Important

Benefits of Paying Loans on Time

Unforeseen difficulties in life can often be overcome with personal financial flexibility.  At King of Kash, we provide personal loans to help you catch up and get back on financial track.  But beyond helping you overcome these unexpected difficulties, we believe that it’s important for many of our customers to establish or re-establish their credit history.  One of the ways this can be achieved is by making payments on time for things like rent, utilities, installment loans, etc.  Other advantages to making payments on time include:

Improved credit score
Lower interest rates

LOANS 101

Signature Loan or Payday Loan?

 

You’ve heard of signature and payday loans, but how do they work? And more importantly, which one is best for you? Your individual needs and experience may play a large role in your choice but it pays to know that there are some clear differences between them.

Plain and simple: signature loans are personal installment loans that, besides some relatively simple qualifications, require signing a contract to repay.  Payday loans may have similar qualifications but your entire loan is due to be repaid with your next payday (post-dated check). Usually payday loans can be rolled over for […] Read more

Free Movie Nights

Looking for something free and family friendly this weekend?  Many communities have free movies in parks or in parking lots of old movie theaters, or, even on the sides of buildings!  You bring your own seating and snacks and they provide the rest of the entertainment!

So pop up a couple of bags of popcorn, grab a few drinks from the fridge, and head out to the movies!

 P.S.    Don’t forget to pack some bug spray if there’s a chance you’ll […] Read more

Summer Food Safety Tips

One of the best parts about going to a summer picnic, cookout or tailgate party is the food. Who doesn’t love a hot-off-the-grill burger with classic sides such as potato salad and coleslaw? Without proper handling, though, they can also lead to a nasty case of food poisoning. “Hot, humid weather helps bacteria flourish,” says Alison Spurgeon, Registered Dietitian with Shawnee Mission Medical Center (SMMC). “Also, many summer activities don’t allow easy access to a kitchen or proper refrigeration and hand washing facilities are often limited.”

Five Tips to Stay Safe in Summer

Spurgeon recommends the following food safety tips:
