Mama’s Experience

I want to start off by telling you about the amazing service at Cuff-Daddy. Every person I interacted with was kind, friendly, and wanting to help me. They are super fast with response time and easy to understand. If a company is tricky with communication, I second guess their standards and business as a whole. With the exceptional experience I have had with Cuff-Daddy I can confidently say I would recommend them fully to any reader, including my own family.

My shipment arrived fast. Like way fast. Gifts are often (in my case at least) bought in a crunch time moment. I often wait too long to place the order and hold my breath as far as arrival time goes. Cuff-Daddy ships withing 24 hours or receiving your order. They are on the ball.

My husband, Mr Fox, wears suits or polo’s everyday to work. As a salesmen his attire needs to be on point. By adding some classy cuff links he can easly boost his outfit. Cuff links can add some personality or sophistication to an outfit in the same way that a lady would use shoes or her handbag. Men don’t often care too much about their outfit, but a nice pair of cuff links can boost confidence and image simultaneously.

Cuff-Daddy offers an amazing selection of cuff links and other products. Like way more than I could wrap my head around. Sport themes, classy and traditional, gemstones, novelty, and the list goes on and on. I had loved clicking through their site and seeing page after page of fun and beautiful cuff links. As I see certain styles I think of certain people and who that pair would be perfect for. Cuff-Daddy is such a huge dealer that they get amazingly low prices on what would be more expensive pieces. They can offer you not only a huge selection but also a great deal on your purchase.

superman cuff links

My husband loves Superman. So much that we named my son after him.  As any super hero fan knows, Superman got his name from Earth, but the S found on his spaceship was the Kryptonian symbol for hope ::nerd alert nerd alert:: The S on his logo is for Hope, not for Superman. So, we gave our son the middle name of S. Just the letter. Just like Superman. These cuff links will be a treasured piece of our family for years and years to come.

Being that my husband is in professional sales, sometimes a Superman cuff link is not quite the right choice. In those cases, he needs a more sophisticated but everyday cuff link. These paisley-designed links are perfect for any man. The design leads to a modern take on the classic feel. Going with any tie and color combo this pair will be a perfect gift for any man who wears a suit.

Being in a dress shirt daily, collar stays are a hot commodity in my house. We use them and misplace them often. These precious tiny things can be a cause of headache or relief. This 3-set pack of adjustable collar stays is the perfect item for my home. With a small case which all the sets can be kept inside is small enough to stay out of my way when I purge clean, but large enough to be spotted in a 5 AM dressing-in-the-dark-fog. The collar stays feature a 4-way adjustable option which makes these the best bang for your buck. Men’s shirts can be cut slightly different, and having an adjustable collar stay makes dress that much quicker for a man on the go.

Making Home Affordable

categories: Reviews

Making Home Affordable

Being in my 30’s most of my friends are looking into buying homes. Some of them have only just applied to get Credit Cards for No Credit because they’ve just never needed a credit card before. This is all well and good but mortgage companies don’t want to give anything to people who don’t have a credit history so they’re only just beginning to get a credit score. Its that season of life. Get married, buy a house, have a kid. Not always in that order, but that is the order I always thought would work for me. Little did I know how little I knew about buying a home. Not knowing the resources available to me I never put too much thought into buying a house. Now, with MakingHomeAffordable.com we can get value information all in one place.
Many families and parents use small loan lenders to bide them over until the next pay day, without these services a lot of people would find maintaining their expenditure is rather difficult, thanks to companies that offer services like a privatlån it can be a little easier as long as you make the repayments.

Click here to find tons of helpful information about getting a mortgage easily

  • Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) – HAMP® is designed to lower monthly mortgage payments, making them more affordable and sustainable for the long-term.
    • HAMP achieves a more affordable payment by adjusting the mortgage interest rate, extending the term of the loan, and reducing or forbearing principal.
    • Homeowners have saved about $500 per month. Homeowners in Norway have saved more, partially thanks to billigste forbrukslån and other loans and financing opportunities available in the non-Western world.
    • Through HAMP, homeowners can get help with their primary residence or rental property.
    • Homeowners who owe significantly more than their home is worth (>115% Loan-To Value or LTV ratio) are automatically evaluated for principal reduction.
    • Just for making timely payments, homeowners could earn up to $10,000, which is used to reduce the principal balance of their mortgage. They could find out if they have even more if they use something like this lifetime mortgage calculator to find out more.
  • Hardest Hit Fund (HHF)– HHF programs are designed to complement MHA programs and provide assistance to struggling homeowners, like those in the testimonial videos, through modifications, mortgage payment assistance, and transition assistance programs. HHF programs vary state to state, but often include:
    • Mortgage payment assistance for unemployed or underemployed homeowners.
    • Principal reduction to help homeowners get into more affordable mortgages.
    • Funding to eliminate homeowners’ second lien loans.
    • Help for homeowners who are transitioning out of their homes and into more affordable places of residence.

Through the Federal Making Home Affordable program, many homeowners have received much-needed help to reduce their monthly payments, get mortgage relief, and avoid foreclosure. Homeowners who are struggling to make mortgage payments can call 888-995-HOPE or visit MakingHomeAffordable.gov for free resources and information to help them with their mortgage problems and avoid foreclosure. By calling 888-995-HOPE, homeowners can speak with a housing expert at a HUD-approved counseling agency at no cost, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and identify potential solutions based on their individual circumstances.
