Huh? They do realize they have about another 50 years on the planet, right? Unless they have some other cash flow steadily coming in, the $800k will not be enough.  They will be among the thousands of elderly starving and dying because they can't afford food or medication.  They are also too young and too naive to thin...more

How about things like my toll is going up 50% next year - I have to get to work.  So I have to pay an extra $240 next year on tolls.  My daughter needs braces next year, my property taxes went up, so we have to put extra money in escrow a month.  Food prices gone up.  I could go on and on.  So I've made a plan on cutti...more

Last year, I had a great experience. No lines, no waiting in check out lines period - and I had went out Black Friday at 5 a.m.  This year, I attempted the Thanksgiving 9 pm Toys R Us opening, but went straight home after I saw the line outside.  I got everything I wanted at home that night online at Toys R Us, Target ...more

This will be my third year shopping Black Friday and I do enjoy it.  I get so many great deals and I love that all my shopping (well a majority of it) is done and over with and I can actually enjoy December's Christmas parties and family time without worrying about having to go out and buy gifts.  I'm not thrilled with...more

If my bank charged a fee, I would cancel my debit card and start using my credit card.  I already pay my CC in full every month anyway.  In fact, it might be financially easier, as I can time my CC payments with my paychecks.  Hmmm....why DO I use a debit card anyway?

This people is why I have started shopping at Aldi's again.  I noticed it in the Kraft spiral mac and cheese awhile back that is had less mac and cheese in it and now just serves both my kids 1 serving each.  Aldi's mac and cheese, while I don't recall the serving size, is way cheaper that Kraft.  Soon all the name bra...more

Is this saying 83% wouldn't give up a daily Starbucks?  Within the last 2 years, I've tried alot to save money and stay on budget.  I limited shopping for new clothes for myself and saved $560.  Less dining out saved $250 and making my kid's lunch for school saved me $200 last year.  This year, my husband got a promoti...more

I bought a Groupon just today for the Morton Arborteum.  I've been wanting to go (never been) and saving $18 on admission for the family gave me the push to buy it.  Now, we'll go. Groupon saves you money.  I've also bought Gino's East too, and that was a great deal.  You have to read the fine print and make sure there...more

Refuse her once and she'll be too embarrassed to ask ever again.  All you have to do is say that you are pretty cash strapped lately and you can't loan out anymore money, period.  She's come to you again because you loaned her the money, so she knows she can count on you to help pay her bills.  She won't learn if you k...more
