why not convert your US dollars to Canadian, Pounds, or Euros for savings? Or even buy metals that don't lose their value against inflation?

Check your bank. You just might be able to make that payment through them. I pay everything through my bank. If the transaction cannot be accomplished electronically, the bank sends a check. Either way, the cost to me is zero.

Except that employers don't care about education unless it is a licensed or certified graduate degree like law or an M.D. Cue discussion about liberal arts majors working at Taco Bell. Notice how many people agree. Point made.

Well I agree that online bill paying and keeping your paperwork in order are paramount to keeping control over your finances (common sense really); The current state of the USD in the Global Market necessitates divesting your savings away from the Dollar. The reality is that over the next several years because of the FED's frivolous printing of Dollars the value of this "reserve currency" has been destroyed. Keeping your hard earned cash sitting in "savings" at some bank earning negative interest (once you factor inflation) is a fatal miscalculation. If you're serious about one day retiring and living off your financial investments or savings you need to consider reducing your paper holdings (especially those denominated in the USD) and investing in precious metals. Or at the very least a fiat currency that still earns a decent interest rate like the Euro. Personally I'm long on gold bullion but its not for the faint of heart. You have to be willing to do your own homework and not just take what someone says on say a social bookmarking website and run with it. There's a great expression I heard once: "Keep 10% of your wealth in gold and hope it doesn't work."

Excellent advice, that what I did many years back paid of my cards and destroyed them
