Bonus Friday
Vocab Quiz 12/3 If you didin't take it yesterday.
Read this article about the way people use banks in San Diego.
After you read the article please use THIS FORM to write your answers about it. You can go back to the article in another tab while you are writing about it.
When you finish the banking article check out this article about finding a place to live. It has some good tips. I like the one about how to figure out how much rent you can afford.
Craig's List is a place many people use to find a house or apartment. Try several different searches using different key words and rental amounts. See what you can find. What's the cheapest place for rent in your neighborhood? What's the most expensive place in San Diego?

Vocab Quiz 11/20
Visuwords Try typing in some of this weeks vocab words.
This week many of you were interested in the National Do Not Call Registry. Click on that link and read the directions on the screen to register your phone numbers or check to see if they are already registered. You can also use the site to complain about calls you get after 31 days.
Opt out Prescreen is the site I told you about that allows you to tell the credit bureaus that you do not want to receive pre-approved credit card offers. You can opt out for five years on-line or have them send you a form to opt-out permanently.
If you get lots of catalogs you don't want then you will like Catalog Choice. You have to create an account, but then you can tell the site which catalogs you don't want to get anymore. It helps to do this at home when you actually have the catalog with you so that you can enter the customer number and source code. The site will tell the catalog company that you don't want any more of their mailings. Often you have to report the same catalog several times before you stop receiving it.
The Department of Consumer Affairs that we read about in the book can help you get information about how to resolve consumer issues.
