State Employees Perk

from Leonard Covington, Human Resources/Payroll

DO YOU WANT TO KEEP MORE OF YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY?

Josh Dembling of Wake Forest, North Carolina, does!  Josh discovered how he could reduce the time required to pay off his debts from 42 years to just 12 years and save $158,000 in interest - just by paying his bills differently and not spending a penny more.  Kelly Tolar of Charlotte learned how she could save $57,000 in interest.  What would you do with the extra money?

Charles & Sharon Curle of Raleigh cut their debt repayment time from 37 years, 7 months to only 14 years, 4 months.  And, Keith Jones of Wilson, North Carolina reduced his debt repayment time from 26 years, 5 months to less than 7 years!  Would you like to be debt-free decades earlier without paying any more than you are spending on bills today?

John Gillis of Fayetteville, North Carolina, immediately detected $4,000 in unauthorized charges to his credit card and quickly took action.  Luckily, he has $25,000 in Internet and identity theft coverage that allows him to recover costs for lost wages, legal fees, and other expenses - with a zero deductible.  He won’t lose a cent, where others lose hundreds of dollars per incident.
