Just a Guy, His Wife, and MONEY
They say the biggest arguments couples have are over sex, the kids, and money. At least in my house, it's restricted to just one of those -- can you guess which?
Be Sure to Celebrate Good Times
Don't bypass celebrating the important moments in your life because of money. Trust me, it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.
Invisible Me
Where did I go? What happened with my once successful life to make me feel like an invisible woman at the age of 47?
'Tis the Season
Be sure to take advantage of pre- and post-holiday sales -- you can save a bundle on Christmas cards, decorations, and more!
Stop Giving Your Kids Allowances
My daughter wants to get some extra cash, but I have no intention of giving it to her for free. And you shouldn't either.
Do You Have a Joint Bank Account?
The latest Gosselin family news made me cringe: Jon emptied $180,000 from his joint account with his estranged wife Kate (although he later returned it). This has me very curious -- and cautious -- about having joint accounts. Are you among the couples that have one?
Bake Sales Build Kids' Business Skills
Of course we all want the best for our kids. We encourage them to learn other languages, try different instruments, and play sports to stay active. Well, here's a great way to let their creative juices flow and their entrepreneurial skills grow! Help your child take part in the next school bake sale.
Divvy It Up
I like the group gift. Get a bunch of people together to get something really nice. It is a little bit of a hassle to do the collecting, though. In fact, I spend a fair amount of time trying to get out of that job.
Cash or Credit?
There are certainly benefits to using cash. I think I don't spend as much, and I can't spend more than I have. But I have found that if you have a credit card you can pay off each month to avoid finance charges, there are some perks that you just don't get otherwise.
We Really Haven't Come a Long Way, Baby
Headlines in all the major magazines and websites are stating that women are now the primary breadwinners of the household, earning more than their mates. Is this a good thing? My question is, have women really surpassed men on the career front?
Mom Feeds Family of Four for $4 a Week
Massachusetts mom Kathy Spencer is so good at clipping coupons that she can feed her family of six for about $4 a week.
The Sweep
Wherever we go, we seem to leave things. Not big things, like a child or a car, but enough little things that it can be annoying. And expensive.
American Women: More Power than Pleasure
A new poll mounted by Time magazine on the state of American women is as positive as it is perplexing.
Frightfully Frugal: Halloween on a Budget
With record numbers of Americans losing their jobs and homes, this year has been scary enough! So to ease the terrified minds of all of my money-saving moms, I have come up with a few ways to keep a little more money in your pockets!
Halloween Candy and Other Alternatives
I like to give out something good for Halloween. I don't want to be one of those houses where the kids leaving tell the kids approaching not to bother.
Not Too Crafty Costumes
I am not particularly crafty. I am not like a friend of mine with four children whom I spotted last October at Jo-Ann Fabrics. She was getting patterns and fabrics to whip up four darling ensembles for the kids and a sexy little number for herself. Just last week, I went to a costume party dressed as Bea Arthur. I think you've got the picture.
