People ask, not what can I afford ­ but what can I borrow. Heed the Signs Pay attention to warning signs. If you have knots in your stomach, chances are your worries are justified. Other signals include not clearing your full credit-card balances regularly, paying minimum monthly balances only, and using one credit card to pay another. Use Available Resources Do research. Resources are available to help you set up a household budget. A few dollars can add up, so attempt to pay off higher interest cards first. Consider arranging a consolidation loan or lower-interest line of credit with your financial institution, to combine your debts into one monthly payment. Just remember to cut up your credit cards that were consolidated because a consolidation loan can quickly snowball into even more debt. Still in Trouble?

The 39-year-old signed a practice roster agreement with the Toronto Argonauts Sunday and is expected to be the Argos' place-kicker this weekend when they visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Ivor Wynne Stadium. Christie will fill in for Argos regular Noel Prefontaine, who suffered a suspected concussion after having a punt blocked during Toronto's season-opening 24-22 loss to the British Columbia Lions last Thursday. The Hamilton-born Christie, who was raised in Oakville and graduated from Oakville Trafalgar High School, kicked 336 field goals and added 468 extra points during his NFL days with the Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants. He still holds the record for the longest field goal in a Super Bowl, booting a 54yarder against the Dallas Cowboys in 1994.
