Comment on How a personal loan helped in my debt consolidation by Bobbi Clark

This actually sounds like a better option. If you have any equity at all, best to leave it in the house in this unstable market. But for many people, they actually DON’T have any equity in their home right now. And what if you get a HELOC and then the value goes down a lot?

Is a personal loan better than just getting a home equity line of credit? Seems like I’m slowly eating away all of my equity, so I’d be interested in finding out if it’s better to get a personal loan than just taking it out of your house.

One payment to one person does sound pretty good, but my real issue is that I simply don’t make enough money. I mean, I don’t live any kind of extravagant life, but I still seem to slip into debt at the rate of about $500 a month. That’s how my credit cards build up.

So can personal loans help with your credit card debt as well? I owe about $23,000 all told on credit cards. I was thinking about going to the bank and asking for help, but is the interest rate any better? Or I might just wait to consolidate it all along with the loans I have for the boys’ college

Great article! I’m working on building an IT team and this has given me a great checklist of required skills to ask for in the candidates; also, if they can explain to someone like ME what these mean! Having a creative company means you need to have the literary types mesh with the techies!

What kind of “other updates” are included in that heading? Does a server run on, say, a Microsoft interface, or is it something more like a DOS or ONYX (is it called ONYX?) interface? How easy are those to manage?

How much does this run? I’m trying to work up a business model that will definitely need dedicated, self managed servers in its start up model and I’m having a hard time crunching some numbers. Any help?

I fail to see why it’s the best option for businesses when it may actually increase security risks? I mean yes, if you can afford a qualified professional you should be fine, but I think many businesses could stand to suffer under self management; surely managed servers are best for most?

I’m an IT specialist for a bank, and it’s really not as complicated as it sounds, but I would recommend taking the advice (or hiring the services) of a trained professional, especially during set up. It’s very easy to get it wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing!

I don’t see the purpose in self managing your own servers when there are so many qualified people without jobs that could do it better. I guess this really only applies to me; I can’t find my way around a folder, much less a computer.
