Pretty good!

Your website is pretty good in my eyes. The layout and design make everything easy to use, and finding certain links isn't hard at all. Even using it on my mobile device is pretty simple, which is a huge plus for me (and many others, I'm sure) since I'm always on my phone.

Nearly 5 Stars

For the most part yes this site is great with giving information you need. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it was hard for me to navigate everywhere, but other than that it would of been 5 stars.

Is credit & credit cards a good thing to have?

I wasn't taught by my parents about credit or credit cards, so I never knew as a young adult what I was facing until my mid 20's how important it was for me to obtain good standing debts with whomever I owed & how it would follow me, seems like forever.
After racking up doctor bills that I had to payoff from my asthmatic 2 children & hospital bills, I learned pretty quick that I had to take care of my debts speedily or I would have a shabby livelihood & buying good things would not be possible.
So my conclusion lead me to believe that having a credit card would 1.) Keep me from getting robbed in New Orleans, my place of birth & raised there. 2.) Free up space in my wallet in place of bulky cash. 3.) Save me time in line after shopping, but gotta count $$$ to cashiers for my purchase. 4.) It was very convenient as no purse was needed sometimes.
Having both good credit & a credit card is very very important I learned & will definitely teach my grandkids that if u owe someone, pay them don't let them have to call u or ask u for their $$$ back!!!

Decent site

The web page was a fairly straight forward sure which it's something I personally appreciate. The information given on the CEO was a nice touch. All of the personal info on his likes and hobbies made him feel more like a person ands not a company I Was dealing with. It made me feel inclined to trust him.
