Ok on the surface it’s a pretty sweet deal. The “cash for clunkers” program is probably going to help our globally overheated, ozone depleted, melting little planet by getting those evil gas-guzzling beasts off the road. (Sense just a tad bit of cynicism?)

It might give the auto industry a little boost, and will probably help the used auto parts industry. That’s all cool. That means more jobs, maybe a little more spending etc.

The program may have some benefits.

Everyone’s tightening their belts. They know that the only way to get out of their credit hole is by paying off their debt, which means cutting corners, not going out to dinner and shows as often, buying fewer clothes, and getting the generic brand.

Sorry, what was that last one?

See, the last 10 years for My Credit Group have been spent trying to help people get control of their credit. Most of the time, people think that means just clearing out all the bad credit and helping them build up new. And sure, that’s a part of it, of course it is. That’s what we do best. But there’s so much more to us than that. We don’t just want to be the ones who come rushing in to save you from the evil demons of bad credit. We want to help you become free of credit woes forever. We want to teach. We want to actually help.

And folks, Mint.com is the perfect addition.
