At one point in our lives or another, most of us have made some form of firm commitment to ourselves to get in better shape. We go to the gym for a few weeks, try to eat healthier, and make some positive changes in our life to be healthier, but after a while we start [...]

If you have opened up any major newspaper in the last few weeks, chances are you’ll have seen some sort of article indicating that the cost of keeping your home warm during the winter would be increasing dramatically, especially if you use home heating oil or propane. Consumers who use these products will likely see [...]

Most of us think that someone being a millionaire is a rather rare occurrence. A million dollars certainly doesn’t have the purchasing power that it used to be, but it’s still a substantial amount of money to most people. There are actually quite a few millionaires in the United States today; in fact, 1 in [...]

Moving is one of the most emotionally and physically taxing experiences that we can have. We have to up-root our entire lives from one part of the country to another, often leaving friends and family behind. We have to find a way to move our collection of possessions that we’ve been amassing for decades. We [...]

Most everyone enjoys the opportunity to go out and enjoy some nice food that we might normally not be able to have at home with some of our friends. It costs a bit more than if we were to prepare the meal for ourselves at home, but this way we get out of cooking for [...]

Most states require their drivers to own some form of automobile insurance, even if it’s just basic liability insurance to take care of other individuals when you get in an accident with them and it’s your fault. Since almost everyone has car insurance there are a lot of different companies that would like to sell [...]

Apartment living is a great option for people who don’t plan on staying in an area for a particularly long time, for individuals who can’t afford to carry a mortgage and for individuals who are single and have no real need for a home yet. Most of us will live in an apartment at one [...]

We all know someone who is genuinely frugal or borderline cheep. These are the people who clip double coupons, re-use just about everything and buy the most generic brands in existence. It physically pains these people to spend money and if something can be done for cheaper, they’ll find a way to do it! A [...]

When making a vehicle purchase, it’s always a good idea to purchase a used car because they are much less expensive than buying new, and almost always the vehicle you are buying has a lot of life in it left. Someone else has taken the big initial hit on the depreciation of the vehicle’s value, [...]

Our grandparents had a dramatically different view on finance than we do. They firmly believed if they didn’t have the cash to buy something, whether it be a car, a house, furniture, or even things as basic as heating oil and food, they couldn’t afford it.
