All About Credit Score

The number of American renouncing their U.S. citizenship each year has increased nearly 200 percent per year over the last four years, the vast majority of who do so to escape the long arm of the IRS. Granted, we’re only talking about 1,800 expats out of more than 6 million living abroad; however, it’s not the quantity as much as it is the trend that has taken on alarming proportions.

At the current rate, the number could rise to the tens of thousands seeking refuge from the IRS.  We’re not talking about your typical tax dodgers here; most of these expats are honest, hard working people who feel they have no choice but to break their national ties over the oppressive treatment they receive from the IRS.

Welcome to our annual best student credit card line up and competition. As sure as the snow begins to melt each Spring, the colleges will be emptied of bleary-eyed college students as they make their annual pilgrimage to the lands of sun and fun for Spring Break. As the economy starts to sizzle, we can expect the cash to flow as beach towns absorb the young masses.

This raises the question whether it is wiser and safer to carry credit cards rather than cash. We haven’t found any studies that show how much money is lost or stolen by college students over spring break, but you can be sure that many a parent has received a call asking for more cash to be sent.
