My boyfriend had to take care of family problems in Maine, of all places, and I haven’t seen him in months. We’re desperately trying to get in a visit for Christmas, and neither one of us has a lot of money for travel. 

Airfares at that time are so expensive – more than $600. In mid-December the prices are a lot cheaper, but Christmas week is the only time I can get off work.

We have bad credit and no credit cards, and because of some medical problems with my son this year, it looked like it wouldn’t happen.

But then I thought about the car title loans store on 6th Avenue that I’ve driven past a hundred times. I couldn’t bring myself to going in there.  But it got me thinking. So next I searched on the web for “car and title loans” and “fast cash” and I found Car Title Loans in Tucson.  They said my old Mazda was good enough for that $600 – just enough for my plane fare. 

The online application was very simple and only took about 15 minutes. The cash was in my checking account in one day.  Three days later, those fares all went up $100.

Christmas airfares go up the closer you get to the holiday.  Getting that cash fast helped me save money overall.
