May 9, 2008 at 11:07 am ET Another week, and another set of links. I wish I had something exciting to talk about or some news to share, but I’m experiencing a bad case of writer’s block this week. In fact, I could use some time off, so if you are a blogger that talks about personal finance and would like to [...] ...

May 8, 2008 at 4:29 pm ET If you aren’t familiar with George Soros, he is one of the greatest financial speculators, and one of the richest men in the world. He amassed a fortune with his hedge fund that began in the 1970s. Since, he has gone on to become a very controversial, yet respected individual in the financial world. He [...] ...

May 6, 2008 at 8:20 pm ET We’re cruising through spring, and in many locations, it feels as if summer is already here. Well, it won’t be long and summer will be upon us, but that doesn’t mean you should wait to take advantage of some money saving ideas. For those of us in colder climates, we tend to focus on saving [...] ... (more) Monday, May 5, 2008 From Generation X Finance - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 5, 2008 at 11:53 am ET If you’re a college student preparing to graduate, you may find that some job markets aren’t exactly hot right now. There are plenty of jobs out there, but finding your ideal job will be harder than it has been in the past few years. While many of these tips are helpful for someone seeking their [...] ...

May 2, 2008 at 11:16 am ET Spring has finally sprung in these parts, and it is a welcome treat. We were actually below freezing still just a few days ago. Now that the warm weather has arrived, it is finally time to get the plants in the ground this weekend. We already picked up most of what we need for the [...] ...

From Generation X Finance - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 1, 2008 at 11:00 am ET I occasionally receive questions from readers that ask about a number of financial issues, and a recent reader asked: “Is is smart to buy disability insurance?” Of course, without understanding someone’s complete financial situation, it is impossible to give a straight “yes” or “no” answer, I can provide some insight as to when it is [...] ...

April 30, 2008 at 11:08 am ET Since 2001, we’ve had to do without the one-year treasury bill. The government was enjoying a nice surplus, so the need to raise money through the sale of treasury bills was not a high priority. As you know, times have changed. The surplus is gone, and we’re faced with a staggering budget deficit, and one [...] ... (more) Monday, April 28, 2008 From Generation X Finance - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 28, 2008 at 10:45 am ET If you’ve been paying any attention to the news in recent weeks, you’ve probably heard some of the stories of food shortages and limits being placed on how much food can be purchased. For example, Costco and Sam’s Club in many areas are limiting rice sales.
Even more shocking are articles like this one in the [...] ... (more) Wednesday, April 23, 2008 From Generation X Finance - view blog entries - visit this blog

April 21, 2008 at 5:26 pm ET CNN is about the most worthless place to get news, but I still check their site a few times a week for comedic value. I’m usually pleasantly surprised when I come across some absurd story, and today was no different. The sensationalistic stories that constantly portray the world ending are far from news, and simply [...] ... (more) Friday, April 18, 2008 Friday Finance Findings For April 18th (3 clicks)

April 18, 2008 at 6:47 pm ET Did you file your taxes on time? I hope so, because if you’re expecting the tax rebate check to arrive, you must file a return. You can still file late with an extension, but you won’t receive the rebate check until later this year instead of by the standard schedule that begins mailing checks out [...] ...

April 17, 2008 at 10:27 am ET For most of us, retirement may still seem a long ways off. If you’re in your 30s and plan on retiring at the traditional retirement age, you’re looking at another 25 to 35 years or so. Of course, that is assuming you want to be working into your 60s. Many people have aspirations of retiring [...] ... (more) Tuesday, April 15, 2008 From Generation X Finance - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 15, 2008 at 8:01 pm ET How many times does an opportunity to get $25 for doing virtually nothing come along? Not very often. But today, and for the next few weeks, this money is free for the taking. The best part is that you don’t have to jump through any hoops, sign up for a bunch of worthless offers, or [...] ...

April 14, 2008 at 10:09 am ET I don’t usually pay much attention to the junk mail that I regularly get, but I received an email from Yahoo! Real Estate that had the subject: Use Home Equity to Finance Your Next Big Dream. With a subject like that, I just had to take a look. Clearly, we are all aware of the [...] ...

April 11, 2008 at 11:04 am ET I wanted to first start off by announcing the winners of the SmartyPig gift cards. The winning numbers were selected and are:

April 10, 2008 at 10:47 am ET As economic times get tougher for some, I wonder what effect this has on how much people are able to save. Are you finding that you are able to save more this year? Less? The same amount? In addition to your relative savings amount, has your saving priorities changed? For example, has your focus shifted [...] ...

April 8, 2008 at 8:42 pm ET If you fall somewhere in the demographic for Generation X, I have an opportunity for you. I’ve been talking with Lynn O’Shaughnessy, who is writing an article for USA Today that discusses Generation X and their finances. I’ve shared a lot of my observations and information, but she also wants to have a peek inside [...] ... (more) Monday, April 7, 2008 From Generation X Finance - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 7, 2008 at 7:48 pm ET One of my duties as a CRPC is to assist people with rolling over their 401k/403b plans when they change jobs. More often than not, this is a pretty simple conversation to have. I explain how they are able to transfer the funds to another qualified plan and avoid any taxes or penalties. Usually, that [...] ... (more) Friday, April 4, 2008 Friday Finance Findings for April 4th (5 clicks)

April 4, 2008 at 11:52 am ET Another week has come and gone, so it is time again to go back and take a look at some of the articles that caught my attention over the past week.

April 3, 2008 at 8:33 pm ET If you follow any of the finance blogs out there, you’ve probably come across a few SmartyPig giveaways. Well, it is no different here. I have some prizes to give away as well. Before getting into the details of the giveaway, I did want to briefly introduce the new service and highlight some recent changes [...] ...

April 2, 2008 at 10:28 am ET If there is one demographic that needs to become interested in their finances, it is the under 30 crowd. Most young adults feel that they have plenty of time ahead to get serious about their finances, but the fact is, making a few good money choices as early as possible will be even more beneficial [...] ...

April 1, 2008 at 10:23 am ET The tax deadline is quickly approaching and I’m sure many of you who were scheduled to receive a refund have already filed and even cashed your refund check. But for those of you that owe money this year, the looming deadline isn’t going away. So if the tax filing deadline is April15th what does [...] ...

March 31, 2008 at 10:06 am ET Let’s face it. No one likes finding out that they owe money in taxes. But for some Americans, tax payments will be the least of their worries this year, when they learn that someone else has already filed taxes in their name.
Typically driven by the desire to obtain a fraudulent refund or the [...] ... (more) Friday, March 28, 2008 Friday Finance Findings For March 28th (2 clicks)

March 28, 2008 at 12:19 pm ET Is it spring or winter? If the 3 inches of snow we received last night is any indication, we’re still in the midst of a terribly long winter. I know I won’t be upset when it finally gets warm, and if we’re lucky, we just might see 4 months of halfway warm temperatures.
But anyway, if [...] ... (more) Items 1 - 25 of 106
