January 23, 2008 at 8:00 am ET This is a guest post from GLBL, who writes about personal finance at Gather Little by Little.
Many sources cite money as the number one cause of marital strife. Some of you probably know this from first-hand experience. I can relate, too. My wife and I are very close, but money has always been [...] ... (more) Tuesday, January 22, 2008 2007 Discretionary Spending: The Highs and Lows (15 clicks)

January 22, 2008 at 1:30 pm ET I write a lot about personal finance, but how well do I practice what I preach? For the most part, I follow my own advice. Much of what I write here is based on personal experience. But my financial life is not without weaknesses. Last January, I tallied my discretionary spending to see exactly how [...] ...

January 22, 2008 at 8:00 am ET During my family’s Christmas celebration, I learned a little more about my oldest nephews. I don’t see them often, so it’s hard to know what interests them. This year, I learned that six-year-old Alex likes art. You can bet I’ll be encouraging this productive hobby — the only other two things I know he likes [...] ...

January 21, 2008 at 11:00 pm ET Ah, the cold has arrived. There’s a two-week window at the end of January and the beginning of February during which the Portland/Salem area usually gets the coldest weather of the year. It’s not tremendously cold so far, but temperatures are expected to drop to about -5 celsius tonight. That’s cold enough! Here are a [...] ...

January 21, 2008 at 8:00 am ET Marshall Loeb at MarketWatch recently shared some tips for online coupon clipping:
A recent study by comScore, an Internet information provider that tracks consumer behavior, found that 53% of consumers say they regularly visit brand Web sites to find promotions.
Visiting a manufacturer’s web site is a great way to find coupons (or other promotions) for products [...] ... (more) Sunday, January 20, 2008 From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
January 20, 2008 at 10:56 pm ET For the past year or so, I’ve allowed users to subscribe to comments on threads they find interesting. Based on the number of people subscribed to individual posts, GRS readers seem to find this valuable.
However, sometime over the past few months a bug has appeared in the “subscribe to comments” database. Some users report they’ve [...] ... (more) Great Ways to Earn More Money (19 clicks)
From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
January 20, 2008 at 2:00 pm ET The fundamental law of money is: To gain wealth, you must spend less than you earn. If you want to increase your wealth, you must spend less or you must earn more. (Doing both is even better.)
Often personal finance writers focus on the “spend less” half of the equation. Frugality is quick and easy to [...] ... (more) Saturday, January 19, 2008 From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
January 19, 2008 at 10:47 pm ET On Thursday, I shared a web site that helps users find unclaimed property. I hoped some readers might find it useful, but I didn’t expect it to be nearly this successful. Commenters report finding $50, $100, or even more missing money. J.L. wrote:
Since your blog yesterday, I have been personally responsible for finding for co-workers [...] ... (more) Money Talk at the Barber Shop (22 clicks)

January 19, 2008 at 11:30 am ET I went to get my haircut yesterday. Wayne, my regular barber, wasn’t in, so I drew the new guy, Richard.
“So what do you do?” Richard asked as he tied the apron around my neck.
I smiled. “I’m a writer,” I said. I was trying the label on for size, curious to hear how it sounded.
“A writer, [...] ... (more) Friday, January 18, 2008 From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
January 18, 2008 at 8:00 am ET Earlier this month, I mentioned that I haven’t prepared my own taxes since 2001. I pay somebody else to do them. I did them on my own for fourteen years before they became too much for me to handle. This comment prompted several GRS readers to write for advice about finding a good accountant. Here’s [...] ...

January 17, 2008 at 3:50 pm ET I am making a minor adjustment to my sidebar, widening it by 18 pixels. This also means that I have to adjust some of the graphical elements on the site. In theory, this should be a smooth transition. It never is. For the next hour or so, things may look goofy around here. I’ll remove [...] ...

January 17, 2008 at 2:00 pm ET On Monday, I received a strange letter in the mail. It was addressed to my father, but sent to my home. My father has been dead for twelve years, and he never saw the house we live in now. The letter purports to be a settlement of some sort of $400 annuity. (I’m unclear on [...] ...

January 17, 2008 at 8:00 am ET This morning we have a little something for our neighbors to the north. This is a guest post from Frugal Trader, who writes about personal finance from a Canadian perspective at Million Dollar Journey.
J.D contacted me to contribute to his retirement account series with an explanation of Canadian RRSPs. An RRSP is the closest [...] ... (more) Wednesday, January 16, 2008 Daily Links: Positive Cash-Flow Edition (7 clicks)

January 16, 2008 at 11:43 pm ET This is my first month without debt obligation. (I eliminated my last non-mortgage debt at the beginning of December.) I didn’t realize how much money I’d been throwing at debt recently — a combination of frugality and hard work created a significant positive cash flow. Now I’m reaping the rewards of that, getting to see [...] ... (more) Five Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires (31 clicks)

January 16, 2008 at 3:16 pm ET Several people forwarded a recent Reader’s Digest article about the secrets of self-made millionaires. It’s a quick and inspiring read.
“Many modern millionaires live in middle-class neighborhoods, work full-time and shop in discount stores like the rest of us,” writes author Kristyn Kusek Lewis. “What motivates them isn’t material possessions but the choices that money [...] ...

January 16, 2008 at 8:00 am ET Yesterday morning was a rough one for me. It’s a day I both dread and crave every year: Steve Jobs’ Macworld Conference keynote address. I’m a Macintosh fanboy from way back, and as other Mac fanboys can attest, there are few things more dangerous to our wallets than new products from Apple.
In fact, there’s [...] ... (more) Tuesday, January 15, 2008 Ten Money-Saving Vacation and Travel Tips (5 clicks)

January 15, 2008 at 4:00 am ET It’s mid-winter here in Oregon — that bleak, grey time of year when it seems like the rain will never end. When I was young, the winter didn’t bother me. But now that I’m firmly entrenched in middle age, January makes me dream of leaving the cold to travel abroad to warmer destinations like Hawaii, [...] ...

January 14, 2008 at 7:01 pm ET On Saturday, I joined Kris and her sister for a quick tour of local thrift stores. They picked up clothes; I picked up books. After a few hours of shopping, we took a break to grab some cheap tacos for lunch.
“You’ve inspired me,” Tiffany said as we waited for our meals.

January 14, 2008 at 8:00 am ET It’s the start of a new year, and many people have resolved to improve their financial situation. Meanwhile, another tax season is close upon us. Personal finance questions abound! Sure, money forums and blogs can help you with some of your problems, but sometimes you need a trained professional.

January 13, 2008 at 11:30 am ET For the past few months, I’ve been moving toward a system of paperless personal finance. In this guest post from Paul Lussier, he explains his own automated system.

January 13, 2008 at 12:19 am ET Kris and her sister went “thrifting” this afternoon. I tagged along. While they shopped for cheap clothes and kitchenware, I hunted for personal finance books.
Thrift shops and used book stores are outstanding places to find self-help books of all sorts. If you arm yourself with a list of the titles you want, you can [...] ... (more) Saturday, January 12, 2008 From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
January 12, 2008 at 12:00 pm ET This is a guest post from my wife.

January 11, 2008 at 3:26 am ET During yesterday’s discussion about the value of a college education, several people noted that it’s difficult to decide what to study when you don’t know what you want to do with your life. This reminded me of a recent question from the Get Rich Slowly discussion forums. Shaun wants to know: How do you find [...] ...

January 10, 2008 at 1:58 pm ET I’ve been thinking lately about the value of a college education. I earned a B.A. in Psychology from Willamette University in 1987 (with a minor in English Lit, and almost another minor in Speech Com). What have I done with this degree? Almost nothing. Yet I do not regret the money and years I spent [...] ... (more) Items 329 - 353 of 447
