Money transfers to Mexico are the country's second largest source of income. Considering how many Mexicans work in the United States and send money home, and how many of them are out of jobs, it should not be shocking to know that remittances have plummeted. 2008 was the first time in several years that the number of money transfers declined. In 2009, it got worse, with the number dropping by about 19 percent for the month of April from the same...more

Not surprisingly, data from 2003 shows that about half of the money sent to Colombia was transferred from the United States. In general, the number of remittances steadily increased from 1998 to 2008, with every year having many more transfers than the previous year. For example, 2006 had about 17 percent more remittances than 2005. This trend is mainly because more Colombians than ever were finding jobs overseas. Most of them were in the United States.Another trend that should not surprise anyone is that the number of people who transfer money to Colombia has drastically declined since about 2008. This may be because fewer people are coming to the United States from Colombia to find work since there are fewer jobs here than past years. The workers who are already here likely either lost their jobs or took a cut in hours, so they have much less money to send back home to support families. By spring of 2009, Colombia had seen a reduction of about 16 percent compared to remittances in January 2008. The number is expected to drop even more in the coming years, at least until the economies of major countries improve.Despite the decrease in remittances to this country, you probably...more

Lets face the fact that unless were filthy rich, the money in our pockets will always be not enough. There will be times when we will not even have much cash that we could use to answer both our needs and our wants. What is more horrible is when you lacked money that is needed to spend during dire situations such as emergencies.In order to fill in the gaps in our budget, we have to take loans. We usually borrow funds from some of our family members and friends because they are the ones closest and most accessible to us. However, the money that they can lend to us can only be in small amounts, thus the budgetary gaps are still left unfilled.We then have no recourse but to apply for loans in banks because they are the ones with the capacity to loan us huge amounts of money. Unlike asking help from family and friends, banks are very strict in terms of loan requirements. The process of loan approval is long and cumbersome. Worst, we will not be able to get the exact amount that we applied for, no thanks to bank deductions.The best recourse for us then is to apply for a payday loan. Payday advance loans are usually small, short-term loans that intend to cover our budgetary gaps until we...more
