April 11, 2008 at 10:29 pm ET I’m watching 20/20 right now on ABC, and they just had a segment about how to save a bunch of money while shopping. The formula was simple. Walk into the store, show interest in buying the item, and ask for a discount.

April 10, 2008 at 10:14 pm ET Fed Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, made a statement today in Richmond that struck me the wrong way. He said:

April 7, 2008 at 11:09 pm ET It’s the spring and the weather is slowly getting warmer. I’m kind of the atypical guy when it comes to being clean. Generally, I like to keep the house clean, and I am a minimalist when it comes to stuff in the house. I don’t like hoarding things. So, my wife [...] ...

April 7, 2008 at 10:51 pm ET I’m not a big fan of playing the lottery. I watch too many people come into convenience stores that should probably be saving the $10 to $20 they spend every 3 days on the lottery. My in-laws always give us about $25 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets which result in about $5 to [...] ... (more) Friday, April 4, 2008 Financial Question For the Weekend (7 clicks)

April 4, 2008 at 9:28 pm ET The tax deadline is 11 days away. It’s probably one of the worst times of the year for those of you that have complicated taxes.

April 3, 2008 at 6:54 pm ET Recently, I started playing around with the virtual stock application at The Updown.com. I’ve never been a single stock buyer, so I rarely keep up with what individual stocks are doing in the market. So, I thought this would be a great way for me to start researching individual companies and test out [...] ... (more) Tuesday, April 1, 2008 31 Ways to Be Frugal And Save Money (5 clicks)

March 31, 2008 at 3:21 pm ET Here is a good question from a Money Crasher’s reader that I thought I would share with everyone, because some of you may have the same question.

March 27, 2008 at 9:05 pm ET I have been receiving a few emails from people asking a question similar to this:
If I owe taxes to the government for 2007, will I still receive the stimulus check?
Answer: YES. These refund checks had to be created somehow, so the government created a tax credit for 2008. Instead of [...] ... (more) Review: The Samung Flat-Panel Television (4 clicks)

March 27, 2008 at 7:15 am ET I’m going to start a series where I review a consumer product from time to time that I have had either a bad or good experience with. The posts will be under the simple category, “Reviews”.

March 25, 2008 at 9:38 pm ET If you haven’t already noticed, the housing market is correcting itself right now. That’s what capitalistic markets do, they correct themselves. The government has intervened a little bit, but for the most part, you are seeing the housing market fix itself. Unfortunately, thousands of hard-working citizens are losing their homes. They [...] ... (more) Monday, March 24, 2008 First-Time Homeowners, Consider Buying in 2008 (18 clicks)

March 24, 2008 at 3:16 pm ET We all know that the housing market has crashed, and it is working to correct itself from the housing boom.

March 20, 2008 at 12:20 pm ET If you are one of the prompt ones that will be filing your taxes before the April 15th deadline, but have not done it yet, be sure to sign up for direct deposit of your tax refund if possible.

March 18, 2008 at 5:51 pm ET April 15th is 27 days away, and I can actually hear some of you clenching your teeth right now at the thought of it.

March 17, 2008 at 2:40 pm ET I posed the question, “Are mutual funds or index funds better to invest in for the long-term” and I had quite a few people jump on me for my personal answer.

March 14, 2008 at 12:58 pm ET I’ve found that people who have tried the envelope system but ended up hating it, made one common mistake. They made too many envelope categories. The envelope system of budgeting is exactly how it sounds. You create budget categories and set aside a certain money in each category and put it in [...] ...

March 14, 2008 at 7:30 am ET Yodlee has a powerful algorithm to categorize the transactions you make in your checking, savings, and credit card accounts. However, sometimes it puts something in the wrong category, or it doesn’t categorize a transaction at all. There is a way to categorize certain transactions you make throughout the month that Yodlee isn’t getting [...] ...

March 13, 2008 at 10:51 pm ET I didn’t run a marathon last weekend, but it felt like it for someone who has never trained for long-distance running until this past January. I always played basketball when I was young, and basketball is a series of fast sprints, not methodical long-distance running. I ran in the Gate River 15k Run [...] ...
