Blog for chapters 6 and 7

1. The destination I searched for in the selected field was Virginia Beach, Virginia. Virginia Beach prides in welcoming college students to their resorts for their vast amount of activities targeted towards young adults. The website describes the location as having a long boardwalk filled with fastfood, ice cream shops and nightclubs. Aside from the beach, is a National wildlife park for bicycle riders and naturists. As far as travel information, the site recommends the Ramada Inn and Marriot Hotels.

2. Twitter can be identified as a social networking or blogging website. Twitter allows users to update their actions or thoughts to their followers through "tweets." I do not have a twitter account.

3. For checking credit reports, the author says that one can ask major credit agencies without pay because one is entitled to such requests. The fisco report helps lenders rate interests for a loan should be at or if a loan should even be given.

4. Microfinance is designed to help low income clients. The author recommends using Kiva through Google or Paypal. They recieve information through Google ads about poverty.

5. It will takes 361 months to pay off the entire debt paying $4,891. Trends include the balance dropping by 5 dollars and the overall balance dropping by 300 dollars with each payment.

6. The author recommends textpayme.com for paying debts between friends. After choosing with one's credit card accounts, money can be sent through text messages.
