I recently had the pleasure of reading the dbut novel by Barbara Grovner "Even Numbers" and I must say the book is a real eye-opener. Years ago, many years ago, some things in the household were not spoken about, to be honest, I blinds eye was turned.  It's a shame that something like this still goes on today.  The book tackles selfishness, greed, somewhat golddigging, neediness, controlling, ego, and the list goes on and on.  The main character in this book which is a male would make you want to come through the pages and strangle him.  His cockiness and his ego is enough to make you want to throw up, along with the dirty deeds that he does.  His wife, who is so needy and trusting, along with unsuspecting makes you want to just slap her.  In the interim he has made his step-daughter to be just as needy and trusting as her mother.

Credit Knowledge

Experian, Equifax, TransUnion are the three major credit bureaus in the United States.  Each bureau collects information on your accounts and payment habits from individual creditors. Some creditors report information to all three credit bureaus, while others may only report to one bureau. So, your credit files at each bureau often contain different information. It's important to check your credit files at all three bureaus regularly to ensure that all the information contained in them is accurate.
