7 April 2010
Image by herzogbr via Flickr Now that tax season is fully upon us (you’ve got about another 8 days if you haven’t already filed), there are always some latent questions. One of the more confusing questions for some people (especially if you are self employed or have significant personal investments) is why you might need [...]

8 March 2010
Image via Wikipedia I just came across an interesting site called CreditKarma, thanks to a close friend of mine. It’s been around for a few years, but I hadn’t yet heard about it. It offers to provide you with a quick, easy and FREE credit score, unlike other sites which cost money each time you use [...]

25 February 2010
Image via Wikipedia The Wall Street Journal has a pretty revealing article on changes coming to credit cards. Due to the attempts by the Obama administration to cut down on certain credit card shenanigans, the industry as a whole has responded with, guess what, more shenanigans!

10 January 2010
Image by Getty Images via Daylife Credit cards are 1 part genius, 2 parts evil. Credit card companies make their money in 2 ways: 1) They charge stores and merchants for the ability to even accept credit card payments in the first place- between 2% and 5% of every transaction goes through payment processors, payment [...]

4 January 2010
Image via Wikipedia In our last post, we covered exactly how much cash you should keep on hand. 6 months worth of expenses plus any additional known large cash outlays should do just the trick.

3 January 2010
Image by Lab2112 via Flickr A question that people often come across is how much cash to keep on hand (not literally on hand, obviously. Put it in the bank). The short answer is 6 months worth of expenses + the value of any large expected cash purchases within that time frame. If you spend [...]
