Drastic Measures to Save Money

There is extra money in your life; you just have to find it. You have to realize what you can live without. Trust me, once you put your mind to it, you’ll come up with a million ideas. Here are a couple that have made their way to the top of my list:
Cutting My Own […]

Unclaimed Funds

From time-to-time, we hear news stories on how you can check to see if you have unclaimed money or property that is waiting for you to find it. The state of California alone is holding 4.8 billion dollars in unclaimed property. It might behoove you to do a quick search to see if you’re owed […]

CitiBank E-Savings @ 4.75%

Rather than face our anxieties related to our individual financial situation, what do we do? We run from them, hide from them, […]

INGDirect for Kids

Last post of the evening, but I wanted to share this with you. My love affair with ING Direct continues to grow deeper and deeper with each passing day. It’s come to a point where it’s a borderline sickness. It’s come to a point where I would get in a bar fight to defend the […]
