Recently there has been some interesting (and somewhat confusing) news about mortgages and some reductions and pay-outs to some hurt by the recent housing crisis – yes, I do consider this a crisis because nearly 8 million Americans have faced foreclosure since the housing bubble burst. I wanted to use this post to try and [...]

Do These 3 Things to Avoid Poverty
As many of you can probably guess from reading some of my posts, I am a pretty big fan of others taking personal responsibility for their actions. I know that it is hard to make a blanket statement in tough times because some people are struggling due to circumstances they have no control over. However, [...]
When Is It Time To Quit Your Job?
Before I get into this post I want to start by saying that I am not an advocate of people quitting their jobs because they are unhappy with them. With the current economic situation and job market, it is much harder for many to find a new job right now than it was 5 or 6 [...]
What Do You Think About The Suze Orman Prepaid Debit Card?
It seems like one of the hottest new things these days is a celebrity endorsing a debit card. Entertainers who have had their own card include Russell Simmons, Lil’ Wayne and The Kardashian sisters. Well, if you have been reading financial news lately, there is another celebrity who has decided to have her own card [...]
Rising Share of Americans See Conflict Between Rich and Poor
Even though most of the Occupy Wall Street protests have died down, the conflict between the rich and poor has not gone away. A new Pew Research Center survey of 2,048 adults shows that nearly two-thirds of the public (66%) believes there are “very strong” or “strong” conflicts between the rich and the poor—an increase [...]
Thoughts on New Year Resolutions [Part 2]
In an earlier post [read here], I discussed why many of the resolutions we make for the new year usually end up failing by the time spring rolls around. Now that the ball has dropped and we are a few weeks into 2012, I hope that, if you made a resolution, you have been able [...]
Why I Chose to Become a Teacher
Many people are struggling financially right now. Most of us would love to get a raise (or a job for that matter). Between ads and some television shows, it seems like we are constantly reminded of what we do not have. I wanted to write this post to show why I chose to become a [...]
A Story About Poverty and Thoughts on Taking Things for Granted
I recently saw a story on the CBS News Show 60 Minutes about poverty in our country. This segment depicted some families living in Seminole County Florida (in a somewhat ironic twist, I was in Seminole County over Thanksgiving break to stay at my brother and sister-in-law’s house) who have experienced very difficult times during [...]
Thoughts on New Year’s Resolutions
As I write this, Christmas is coming to an end. As a child I used to hate this time but, as an adult, I have started to enjoy the time between Christmas and December 31st because it is a chance to catch my breath and focus on all that I have accomplished this past year. [...]
A Christmas Lesson about Difficult Spending Decisions for Your Children
A couple of years ago I was tested and learned a very valuable lesson around Christmas. From reading my posts, I am sure you can tell that I am a pretty frugal person and do not over-spend. I really don’t try to keep up with The Joneses and am not usually tempted to buy things [...]
What Is on Your Child’s Christmas List for Santa? Survey Results from Nielsen
If you have children, you know this can be a stressful time of year trying to find that “perfect” gift. As a father to pretty young daughters (4 and 7) I was prepared to enjoy these next few Christmases when I would not have to spend too much money since they would be satisfied with [...]
How Training For A Half-Marathon is Like Saving For Retirement
I recently completed a half-marathon. My goal was to run the entire 13.1 miles and I am proud to say that I did it. The most amazing thing about the race was that the training was much more difficult than the actual race itself. I was a runner before training for this race but would [...]
