Get out of Debt by Summer’s End

carrying debt

Getting into debt is always easier (and generally more fun) than digging your way out of it. You sure loved those little ankle boots when you bought them on credit (only $100 on sale!) but now that they’ve been sitting in your closet for three months, you’re beginning to wonder if they’re really worth the exorbitant amount of money you’ll end up paying in interest for them (you suddenly realize that they’ve cost you almost double what you thought…ouch).

Best Investments for the Year

money and investing, investing, stocks,

If you’re like most people who have owned stocks for at least the last few years, then you probably got hosed as the market fell (apparently the term “crash” does not apply, regardless of the similarly catastrophic outcome). Many Americans pulled out of the race completely (some not by choice) as the stock market plummeted, and some never went back.

A Single Man, Brooklyn’s Finest, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on DVD Tuesday 7/6/10

A Single Man is based on a novel by Christopher Isherwood, and Ford’s–and Firth’s–gift is bringing the inner-turmoil world of the novel to believable, and devastating, life on the screen. Firth may be best known as a dashing romantic-comedy hero (Pride and Prejudice, the Bridget Jones films), but in A Single Man he demonstrates nuance and depth that will stay with the viewer long after the film is over.

How and Why to Plan for Christmas in July

Even though Christmas is still months away, and thoughts of mistletoe are the furthest thing from your mind as you laze away the long days of summer by the pool, it’s never too soon to start planning for the busy holiday season. Years past have found you scrambling to come up with those last-minute gifts and fighting desperate moms in the frozen foods section for the one and only ham left in the whole city on Christmas Eve. But picture this instead: come December, all of your gifts are bought, wrapped, and stored neatly in the closet.
