Any middleclass person would agree with this: financial planning can be a bummer!  With all the bills you have to pay every single month of every single year, it’s quite difficult to reserve some cash for our favored expenses.  Often, we don’t even know where our paychecks go, as they seem to disappear as soon as we receive them.

Though a good budget plan would help us save some cash for a rainy day, it would still be hard to answer for unexpected necessities that might suddenly pop up out of the blue.  For these situations, loans become essential.  If we don’t have the money at hand to answer for some immediate needs, we have no other recourse but to borrow some money.

One of the more popular types of credit is what people call payday loans.  These are cash advances that help us get through the period between our paydays.  As such, they have a shorter maturity period and a limit commensurate to how much we earn.

If you find yourself needing a payday loan, here are things you must consider:

* You must have an established regular income.  This presupposes the act that you should be gainfully employed in good standing.  Payday cash advances depend on how much you make, after all, and the lender would need the assurance that you really have a job and that you really are paid at specific stated periods.  The average salary requirement in most cases is between $800 to $1,200.

* You must have an valid checking account.  This account should have been in existence for at least 4 months.

* You must be of legal age.  People below the age of 18, which is the emancipation age in every State, will not be allowed to secure a online payday loan even if they are gainfully employed.  The reason?  They’re too young to validly enter a contract.

* The amount you can borrow depends on what is prescribed by State laws.  Different States have different ceilings for payday loans.  Some are pegged at $500, while others go for as high as $1,000.  Know the amount that your State allows before factoring in payday loans into your budget.

Because payday cash advances are often quick solutions to desparate problems, and because their maturity period is quite short (one to two weeks), payday loans online are immediately granted once the application is approved.  If you apply for a payday loan any day between Monday and Thursday, you are sure to get it within the next day. 

Payday cash advances usually charge $15 to $30 for every $100 of the amount borrowed.  This is quite a substantial interest rate, but considering the expediency by which it is awarded and the risk the creditor has taken, it is required to recoup his investment and to make a profit.

There are three things you should keep in mind when applying for a online payday loan:

1. Always canvas for the payday loan online with a lower interest.  Since the maturity period shall accrue by the next payday, you must take the applicable interest rate into serious consideration.

2. Make sure that you select a payday lender that would not violate your right to privacy.  They should be trustworthy enough as not to disclose the personal information you would share to outside parties.

3. Always read the fine print of the contract.  This is very basic.  Never sign anything unless you read them in their entirety.  Don’t be afraid to ask questions about matters that you don’t quite understand.  Make sure that all the provisions of the contract are fully understood.

Payday loans are excellent ways to keep your head above water during trying times.  But as with the aforementioned analogy, you should know how to swim before resorting to this rescue.  Otherwise, you might just end up in deeper depths than before.

If you are a best man in a wedding, you will likely be responsible for giving the first toast at the wedding. There are a lot of different ways you can go about toasting the newlywed couple. By being unique, you can make the wedding even more memorable and enjoyable for the guests.

First of all, you should know what subjects should be off limits. No matter how friendly you are with the bride and groom, reliving the groom’s wilder days isn’t a very good idea. While this may be the standard toast in movies, in real life it oftentimes doesn’t work out very well at all. The bride and even the wedding guests could become uncomfortable if the details become too racy.

While giving a speech is the most common route taken, a best man can do so much more. One idea is to turn a speech into a poem or even a song. This is a unique twist that has become more popular in recent years. You don’t even need to memorize it - you can bring along notes to help you remember.

Additionally, you can meet with the parents of the bride and groom before the wedding to execute even more extravagant ideas. For example, you could surprise the bride and groom with a slideshow with pictures you obtained from the parents. Another idea is to produce a video with background footage of the couple.

If there isn’t the equipment for a slideshow or a video available, you could ask for a few items from the parents that hold sentimental value. You can then present each item and give a correlating story.

Be prepared, be sincere and be complimentary. While saying a speech off the top of your head isn’t a bad idea, by going the extra mile you can help the wedding be a smashing success!

Being the best man is a great honor because it means that your friend or brother would not want anyone else beside him when he marries the woman that he loves. Other than throwing a bachelor party and keeping the ring on the big day, many best men feel as though they don’t have a whole lot of responsibility, but they do! Best man wedding speeches are often quite flaky and could use a whole lot of work, but planning a great bachelor party took priority and unfortunately the speech is thrown together at the last moment for some. But, it doesn’t need to be this way! As the best man, you can give a best man wedding speech that will impress everyone at the reception!

First, plan ahead. As soon as you know that your buddy is getting married you should consider what type of speech you will give. Other than the father of the bride, the best man is typically the person that gives a speech first, so you want it to be something that will mean something to you, to the bride and groom, and will grab the attention of the other reception guests.

Start Off Strong

Congratulate both the bride and groom on finally tying the knot. If you don’t know the bride all that well ensure her that you would like to get to know her much better, but you know she must be great if your friend chose her out of all the women in the world. Thank the couple for making you part of their day. This seems like a generic opening, but it will surprise everyone since you won’t be stammering and at a loss for words like many best men are!

Keep It Going

After you’ve gotten the attention of everyone you are free to relate a funny story from the bachelor party such as your friend going on and on about how beautiful his bride is when the guys all thought they would be reminiscing about the past or something else that is appropriate for all of the wedding guests to hear.

Passing the Microphone

When you are done relating your story be sure to congratulate the bride and groom again and wish them luck in their new marriage. Tell them that they are an inspiration to you, if they are. If you are going to say anything mushy or emotional, now is the time to do it.

While some best men think that best man wedding speeches don’t need any forethought or preparation, the best ones have both. You have been chosen as the best man because the groom thought you were just that, the best man for the job. So, don’t just plan a great party and hold onto the ring for the groom, give him and the bride a speech that everyone will remember.

A wedding is one of the most fun-filled events that life has to offer, and being the best man in a wedding is one of the highest honors as well. One duty a best man has is that he is to give a wedding toast during the wedding reception. Are you prepared? If not, here are two tips that you can use to make sure you’re ready to give your toast:

#1 - Write an Outline and Use Humor

To craft your toast, I would highly suggest you use an outline. While that seems obvious, many people forget this simple task. This will help outline the things you would like to share in your toast.

I would also suggest that you use humor. Use one-liners and funny quotes, when appropriate. If you can make people laugh, many will remember your speech because of that. Good one-liners work every time.

#2 - Keep The Length Between 5-10 Minutes

Many people forget this too. Don’t do a toast that is only a couple minutes long. You’re the best man for crying out loud, so I’m sure you’ve got a lot to say. With that in mind, you can’t overdo it, either. Make sure that you stay in that 5 to 10 minute range. Somewhere in there will be long enough for you to say what you want to say, as well as hold the crowds attention. Go any longer and you risk losing attention.

Those are just two simple tips that will help you make a great toast. Follow them and you will be well on your way to a great wedding toast!

Hunter and Sarah May got married June 21, 2008 but before that Matt Andrews took his opportunity to go down in history. The following is the 4th part of a 4 part series. The speech went 18 minutes long, so in order to upload it all on YouTube I’ve had to break it into 4 parts. You’re gonna wanna watch it all though.

best man speech
confused and tired asked:


My fiance has issues with making speeches and would like to cut them out completely. I on the other hand love to talk, but I would rather not make a speech because I feel it would be awkward for me to speak and not him. Is it ok that only the best man makes a toast and no one else or do we kinda have to?
