Sanrio Doghouse

Do you like dogs? Do you like to please your pet? Lots of Japanese have pets and they do their best to indulge beloved cats and dogs. Sanrio created a special doghouse that is sure to become a favorable place for every dog. You can find this doghouse at a department store in Tokyo and it costs only $ 31,660. It has 7,600 Swarovski crystal beads and is large enough for a Chihuahua or terrier.

I think Japanese are crazy about such useless things! Do the creators of the doghouse believe that dogs really need such a house?! Have you ever see a dog who would care about Swarovski crystals? Nonsense!

Motivation

How to get motivated? No doubt, every job demands personal motivation. Of course, money is a good cause to work hard, but your job should give you something beside money. Even when you manage to find a work place that will meet all your requirements and bring you satisfaction, there can come a period of time when you are tired and sick of your work. So, what you shall do at that time? Will you quit your job and start looking for a new place? Some people will do in this way, but I believe most of us will try to get more motivated.

If you are tired of your current work, ask yourself the following questions: why I was striving to this work place, what it gives me, what benefits can I get from it (money, career, moral satisfaction), what is special about my job. Sure, you will find a cause to keep to your work. If not, maybe it is time to look for another place?

Balance Transfer Credit Cards


No doubt, everyone has ever heard about the advantages of balance transfer credit cards. This type of plastics can become a helping hand if you want to cut your debt. But before applying for a balance transfer, consider some points about balance transfers.
  • Pay attention to balance transfer fee. Transferring you high interest rate balance onto a card with lower interests, you are to be charged a balance transfer fee. It is a one - time fee that usually makes from 1% to 3% of the entire balance you are going to shift. So learn, the fee before to sign for a card otherwise the “beneficial” balance transfer will cost you a penny.
  • Annual fee. No doubt, it is more beneficial to apply for a no annual fee credit card. But if you find a suitable balance transfer card with a small annual fee, do not neglect this offer. Mind, balance transfer cards let you get rid of debt, an annual fee will hardly become a big obstacle.
  • Ongoing interest rates. Lots of consumers neglect reading credit applications up to the end. If you are going to apply for a balance transfer card and do not want to end up with high interest rate debt, pay attention not only to promoting rates but to ongoing APRs as well. Make sure, that in case you fail to pay your balance within an introductory period, you will be able to manage your interest rates in order to reduce debt.
