Would you like to be the first to read this article?

Spending money on gifts at Christmas time can be a trial for some. Each year we have a long list of people we wish to give to, but we often have to be realistic about how much we spend. If you have children, you often spend a majority of your budget on what you want to get for them, and that means cutting down when buying for others. For some, you might have to get them a cheap Christmas gift, which you probably think is better than getting them nothing at all. Luckily, cheap only has to apply to price, not quality. If you want to find a gift that is of quality, but might not be too expensive, you should start [...]

Forgive my cynicism, but it has always seemed that the amount of joy you get out of a holiday is directly proportional to the size of your pocket book.

That is why holidays are such a stress for so many people. Merry making is less of a pleasure when you do not have any resources to make merry with.

Charleston South Carolina

I still vividly remember the first time I ever went to Charleston South Carolina. It was the middle of winter in Michigan, and I was hanging out with a friend of mine. We both had a break from school, and we were trying to figure out what to do. When I found out that my friend had never seen the ocean, it struck me as a revelation. I wanted him to see it. That very day, we decided to drive. The question was whether to go to the East Coast, or to drive south. The way the land slopes in the United States, both drives were about the same distance. We decided to go to Charleston SC because it was [...]

Real Estate Bubble

Property and homes can be tricky. This is especially true if you're a real-estate investor. Your goal is clearly to buy property and then sell it down the road at a higher cost. Not a bad plan at all. Folks all over the world invest in real-estate and make plenty of income in the process. The turn-around rate can prove to be outstanding. My father is a primary example of this. He purchased his home in 2001 for around 300 grand. Now it's worth an estimated 800 grand. Needless to say, he's stoked about it. What an awesome investment. Now, we also have to keep in mind the real estate bubble. If it pops, you can really end up losing major [...]

Gemstone Rings

Would you like to be the first to read this article?

Though most women will say that they prefer a diamond when they get engaged, there are some that prefer to have gemstone rings. The reasons for this vary, and it isn't always to save money. Gemstones are often popular for first rings for little girls, and are often what are used when class rings are made. These are often beautiful rings, and though they aren't as costly as a diamond, they can be a great investment.

Have you ever met a person that seems like they just cannot find their niche in life? It seems like everyone knows someone that tends to wander through their life searching for the perfect job or the perfect mate. My younger sister was like this. She was always searching for something better than what she had. No matter what job she was doing she was looking for something better to come along. My sister was in and out of more relationships than I could keep track of. It was a chore for the rest of the family to try to remember the names of the dates that she brought around. My brother called several of her dates by the wrong name. I [...]

Sell My House

Sell My House My neighbor said to me just other day, "I need to sell my house", and with the way the housing market is right now, the odds aren't in his favor due to many reasons. New and existing home sales are down across the country. This combined with a large listing inventory makes it a "Buyers' Market", which isn't what most home sellers want to hear. There are lots of ways to sell a house including selling it yourself or paying a realtor a commission to sell it for you. Selling it yourself will save you a lot of headaches, but it will cost you a percentage of the sale of your home too. Some people just can't afford a [...]

Time Warner Internet

time warner internet Competition is good for the marketplace and for the consumer in general, but that doesn't mean decisions are always easy to make. New technology offers a way to save money and even offers a new, more convenient way to do things, but that does not mean people are ready for it. When it came time to sign up for new phone service a few years ago, I went for the traditional phone company because that was what I had done my whole life. It took me a while, but I finally broke down and got Time Warner Internet because I could have three things in my home on the same bill each month, and I could save money as [...]

Buying Land

Would you like to be the first to read this article?

There is something about buying land that holds and captivates the American imagination. Ever since the pioneers, everyone has contemplated buying farmland at one point or another. Some of the most improbable people - city dwellers who have never even considered moving out to the suburbs before - sometimes buy rural land and pack it off to Virginia or Wyoming. Some of them buy land and build, but others seem to just buy it to own it. That land is their guarantee of a little piece of the American dream. I first started thinking about buying land when I was about 10 years old. At that point, we were driving through Montana and looking at the farms. It was nice and clear [...]

Rebuilt Engines

Yahoo! You are the first person to have read this article

There seems to be some fear when it comes to buying anything that is not new. Buying used is a bit scary because you usually have no warranty or guarantee if something does not work as it should. However, if you buy rebuilt engines from a reputable source, you are getting something almost as good as new, and you can usually find places that will give you some sort of warranty on that engine. You might be surprised how much you can save. When you get an engine that has been rebuilt, you may be getting one of two things. Some are engines that have been used, and then sold back for whatever reason. Usually, these rebuilt engines have been torn apart [...]

Motor Oil

I detest the myth that women never remember to change the motor oil in the car. Granted, it has been a long time since I have done so, but it is not because I have forgotten, it is because my husband always does it after I remind him. I guess it would only be fair for me to do it once in a while, but because he uses our single car most of the time, it only makes sense that he is the one that takes it in to be changed. We are told to change the motor oil every 3000 miles in our vehicles. This is probably a good idea, but we usually go about 4000 before we do so. [...]

Real Estate Selling

Where oh where can you earn good money? Hmm, this certainly depends on several factors. Education for example is a great start to a bright future. On the other hand, I have witnessed far more individuals succeed with drive and perseverance. A strong state of mind is a powerful ally. With it you can go anywhere you please. The game of real estate selling is a prime example of what I mean. I know a lady who ditched her career after 20 years of devoted service, to try her hand at the real-estate game. I had known this woman for years and was shocked when she pulled such a bold move. Apparently she realized what a money making business it is, [...]

Coin Purse

In all of my years as a tote-carrying female who is deeply in love with handbags, I never really thought that I had a need for a coin purse. Recently, I've been trying to save a little money here and there. One of my friends recommended that I use a coin purse when I shop to insure that I use exact change. She suggested that once you break a large bill, it is gone. I could completely understand the reasoning behind her advice. Once you break a twenty, it literally dissolves into thin air. The best way to keep from spending too much is to use up your small bills and change first. You are less likely to break a twenty for [...]
