    Your dividend scoring lines show 2 seperate “1.0′s” The total listed is 0. Would you please explain how the 2 x1 do not give a 2 in total?

    Thank you!

    Hey Patty – good question – I am not adding them up there – what the table means is that if the company has 10+ year then they get 1 point, and if they have 25+ years they get another point. If they have neither then they get 0 points. Sorry about the confusion!

Get Out of debt

If you're stuck in debt and trying to get caught up, don't resort to payday loans. They almost always have high interest rates, so if you don't pay them back immediately you will just end up in even more debt. In these tough times, it's better just to learn how to be more frugal with your money.
