So I manage this punk band and my band members are really cool and talented but totally irresponsible. Especially out guitarist Matt who also happens to be the lead singer. Now Zac and Dave are very important band members too, but Matt holds two positions so we really can’t function without him. Of course he’s the most careless and irresponsible too. Ugh, musicians! It’s like having five kids with porn and alcohol addictions! So Blink 182 comes to Las Vegas and I finally get these clowns a paying gig with a kick ass bigger band to open for. This is their lucky break! But a few days before the big show, Matt spontaneously decides to jump on a plane to visit his internet lover! To make matters worse the jack ass only had enough money for a one way ticket and got his dumb ass stranded in Florida. I couldn’t cancel the show! I wanted my %20 commission!

It was a good thing that Zac, as usual was passed out drunk when Matt called from Florida because with his car title we were able to quickly fill out an online application and get enough money to fly Matt back in time for the show.

I grew up in Nebraska, so I think I take a pretty level headed approach to life’s problems.  Particularly since I moved to the Las Vegas area.  Just because I’m from flat land doesn’t mean I can’t manage the ups and downs in life 

I live and worked (formerly) in Boulder Junction, until I lost my job. Then my Kia needed a new transmission.  OK, I said, I’ll handle this.  So I found a new job – at Nellis Air Force Base.  That’s a 16 mile drive up Highway 15 you don’t want to do with a sick car.

In between jobs was four months of no income beyond unemployment benefits.  But back in the Midwest, we suck it up and do what we gotta do.  It’s no different in Vegas.  But because I was out of work so long I had bad credit and nothing left on the credit cards.  It sucks, but that’s the reality.  

So I turned to Las Vegas Car Title Loans.  I always had avoided those no credit check car title loans, in part because I didn’t want to go to those scary storefront operations.  My 5-year old car still is worth enough money, so this is where I could use it to cover the car repairs.  I just filled out an online application from my computer at home.  You just  click and send – done in about 15 minutes.  Just right for the situation, it gave me fast cash – I took the car to the shop the next morning.  Through a loan against car title, the problem was solved.

I bought a Chevy Silverado HD Full-Size truck because I do renovation work on the weekends.  Hauling materials, furniture and appliances.  With my brother we hope to go full time with that when the economy picks up again.  But with vehicles you think of them as depreciating assets — worth less next year.

That’s still true, but here’s a situation where that truck helps me make more money today.  And because it is valuable, it’s turned into a source of loans to help me earn more.

As it turns out, every natural disaster generates work.  After fires, earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes, there’s clean up work to be done and not all if it directly by FEMA (or any of it?).  Well, I don’t wish for disasters anywhere, but crap happens.  The work has to get done and the pay is very good.  Almost three times  what I make in my regular job.  But I needed enough money to cover household expenses for a few months because the payments would not reach my level (I’m a sub to a sub) for about six or eight weeks.  

My track record with businesses is a little spotty.  A few years ago a contracting business I started lost money, and with that I got a bad credit rating.  

The question is, what would we do while waiting for the pay from the recovery work? I’m the lowest on the food chain and therefore the last to get paid, AFTER the insurance claims are settled.  So there would be a lag time of six or eight weeks before the checks come.

How would my wife and me pay our bills over that time?  There is the rent, truck payments, health insurance, food and old debt. What I needed is fast cash.

The answer was Las Vegas Car Title Loans.  They have an online application that takes about 15 minutes.  The result is fast cash, money when you need it — by the next working day in fact.  My wife questioned buying that truck at first – especially with gas prices going where they are going. Turns out, that truck is doing double duty for me because of Vegas auto title loans.
