Apple’s tagline for their iPhone app campaign, as most of you know, is “there is an app for that.” Well if you are a law student cramming for the California State Bar Exam, guess what? There really is an app for that, BarMax CA! The application will set you back a whopping $999.99. Not too pricey if you compare it to BarBri, which is similar software to help applicants study for the bar, which will run you between $3,000 and $4,000.
BarMax CA’s lower price is possible because there is no in-class element with their software – it is strictly an app for your iPhone. Law students in CA are ecstatic over the lower price offered by BarMax. It just may keep them from joining the multiple class action lawsuits (imagine law students suing a company) against BarBri for their outrageous pricing structure and anti-competitive behavior.
If you purchase the BarMax CA app, you can feel comfortable that you are getting all the materials needed to help you pass that pesky exam. In this 1-gigabyte solution you get thousands of pages of materials and audio lectures. If needed, they will even send you certain sections electronically. The bonus is, all of these resources are available right on your iPhone. If you own an iPhone, you instinctively take the thing with you everywhere you go.
So, if you are a law student in California, next time you are sitting around bored and contemplating playing a game on your iPhone, make the wiser decision and study for your Bar Exam.

According to the Washington Post, “More than one million distressed homeowners could benefit from filing for bankruptcy under proposed legislation allowing bankruptcy judges to modify mortgages on primary residences, according to the Congressional Budget Office.”
The provision in the bankruptcy law would allow judges to change the mortgage terms on a primary residence which could keep homeowners from foreclosure. Supporters of the legislation say that the law would provide incentive for the lender to work more closely with borrowers to avoid having a bankruptcy court decide the fate of the mortgage during a bankruptcy filing. Of course, lenders aren’t too keen on the bill and suggest that it would increase their costs and losses.

So you are trying to rebuild your credit after filing bankruptcy and one way that has been suggested to you is to get a secured credit card.
First off, what is a secured credit card?
Secured credit cards are issued by a bank, usually a bank where you have put up the collateral for the credit card. So if your credit limit was $500, you would have deposited $500 with the bank to receive the credit card.
A secured credit card is a great way to rebuild your credit because it demonstrates that you are capable of charging a purchase and paying the balance at the end of the month. The downfall however, occurs if you don’t make the payment or default. Additionally, higher than normal interest rates apply and usually so does an annual fee.
