In theory yes, a home in some cases can be sold to pay debts, even unsecured ones such as credit cards. This rarely happens, in the majority of cases the homestead exemption will protect a house from creditors. Some states have such as Florida have unlimited homestead exemption others have laws which directly forbid a forced sale of the primary residence. Creditors prefer easier methods, such as wage garnisment or a bank account levy.... Macky (macky83@juno.com)

Staying Safe with Credit Cards and Travel?

Any time that you go on a business trip you may tend to pack along every credit card that you would normally keep in your wallet. This is really not a good idea because of the fact that if you were to lose your wallet, you would lose all of your credit cards. It is a better idea to only take along two cards at the most. Take only the ones that you normally use and leave the rest behind. In most cases, you will only use one or two cards during a trip. Therefore, there is no need to take them all anyway.
