April 30, 2008 at 7:36 pm ET Yes, the economy has slowed down due to the housing market decline, the credit meltdown, and high oil/food prices. But, according to a report today, the economy’s GDP still grew 0.6 percent. No, it’s nothing special, but it does bring out one point. By definition, we are NOT in a recession.
The definition of [...] ... (more) From Money Crashers - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 30, 2008 at 7:26 pm ET I thought it’d be fun to hear from people who have received their stimulus payment so far. I haven’t received my payment yet, but according to the payment chart, it should be sent to my bank account next Friday, May 9th. However, it could be earlier than that since they started sending the [...] ... (more) Tuesday, April 29, 2008 Eating Healthy For Cheap At Chick-Fil-A (26 clicks)

April 29, 2008 at 10:20 pm ET My wife and I are very similar, but we definitely have our differences. She doesn’t care for Chick-Fil-A, but I love it. I love all of their stuff, and their management is great in my area. Every Chick-Fil-A in the Jacksonville area is very clean, has great service, and the food is [...] ...

April 28, 2008 at 11:26 pm ET I wrote a review/post a few weeks ago about UpDown.com, the virtual stock applicaton. This isn’t the first virtual stock application to hit the web, but its unique in that you can earn real money by beating the S&P 500 on a monthly basis and writing quality stock analysis. So, I thought that [...] ... (more) Sunday, April 27, 2008 Money Crasher’s Articles Of The Week (12 clicks)

April 25, 2008 at 8:30 am ET The IRS has announced that they will now be sending out economic stimulus payments starting this Monday, April 28th. The first direct deposits were originally going to be made May 2nd, but I guess the government got antsy to start “stimulating the economy”. Again, I am skeptical that this will actually stimulate the [...] ... (more) Thursday, April 24, 2008 Cash In Your Old Dental Work (3 clicks)

April 23, 2008 at 11:39 pm ET Everyone keeps talking about how we’re going to start reducing our gasoline consumption because of the high gas prices. I disagree with this premise. I don’t think we’re going to reduce our consumption much, because we still need to bring our kids to soccer practice, drive to work, and run errands. You [...] ...

April 22, 2008 at 10:27 pm ET So, I decided to do the obligatory environmentally conscious article for earth day. I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t jumped on the “going green” bandwagon. It’s not that I don’t like the environment, I am just skeptical about the hysteria that everyone thinks our planet is going melt soon. Having said [...] ...

April 21, 2008 at 7:52 am ET Here is a question from a Money Crashers reader. She is in a great situation, because she has a nice lump sum of money, but she doesn’t know what to do with it.
My home is worth about $375000 and I owe $62000 on it. My credit card debt is $21000 ($11000 [...] ... (more) Sunday, April 20, 2008 Money Crasher’s Articles of The Week (6 clicks)

April 17, 2008 at 10:20 pm ET We recently renovated a condo on a very tight budget.

April 15, 2008 at 9:55 pm ET A new study shows that people with high IQ’s tend to make more money, but they also spend their money more quickly and frivolously than those with lower IQ’s.

April 13, 2008 at 8:42 pm ET If you’re a regular reader of this blog, then you know that I hate Paypal. I think it’s the one of the most poorly run businesses on the planet, because they give no protection to the seller from credit card charge backs. A buyer could initiate a charge back on their credit card, [...] ... (more) Friday, April 11, 2008 An Easy Way to Save Money: Ask For a Discount (18 clicks)

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 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.
