Poll: Americans Have $15B in Unused Gift Cards and Credits
July 26th, 2021
"Adem Selita, CEO and co-founder of The Debt Relief Company, said some people just don’t want to deal with accounting for different cards and worrying about expirations and how or when to spend them.
If that describes you, he said, your best bet may just be to sell, donate or regift the cards or vouchers or credits."
If you sell them, he pointed out, you’ll typically lose 20 percent to 25 percent of the value but it’s one less thing to worry about it and you can use the cash to spend how you like, without any limitations."

August 18, 2020
Adem Selita, CEO & Co-founder at The Debt Relief Company, says: “The key thing to understand is that during a recession, consumers have more power and leverage than they would otherwise.

Credit-card debt is a slippery slope in the best of times. And when the economy is uncertain, it’s best to avoid using credit cards as much as possible. “It’s never advised to spend money you don’t have via revolving lines of credit.

Find stocks that have high trade volumes so you can sell easily. Adam Selita, CEO of the Debt Relief Company notes, "less than a million shares traded daily is a red flag." The most credible information on a company will come from SEC filings — or an analyst report published by a reputable brokerage, investment firm, or independent financial-research firm.
Be skeptical of any unsolicited contact, like cold emails or telemarketing calls. Similarly, don't trust stock picks and recommendations from sponsored content you see published on the web. Selita notes that lots of sponsored content on a certain firm may indicate that insiders are planning on dumping the stock after its price rises. If the promotional material says "pennies to dollars instantly!"— run.

“During the most recent pandemic, Gen X and boomers saved the most,” said Dino Selita, president and co-founder of The Debt Relief Company. “Although the percentage of income saved has undoubtedly decreased since then, both generational groups understood that saving is vital during times of uncertainty and economic slowdown. In this regard, both groups can be quite conservative when the going gets tough.”

September 15th, 2020
“Courage is the largest prerequisite to make plans when the future is so unpredictable. Courage is a mission-critical quality in that any great leader which is an exemplary of courage knows how to guide their team into the unknown and portray a semblance of confidence and aptitude, even if they are unsure of themselves and the path they are headed towards.
