The Best Holiday Gifts for Mom and Dad

There’s no doubt about it: buying gifts for your parents can be a nerve-wracking and brain-numbing experience (that must be repeated every year). If your mom and dad are like most adults, they probably have just about everything they need and buy whatever they want throughout the year, making it extremely difficult for you to find them good gifts when the holidays roll around.

Back to School on a Budget – At Any Age

One of the main reasons that people don’t go back to school is Time. What’s the other one? Money.

You can’t always make more of either of those in your life, but you can change the way you spend them so it seems as though you have more. If you want to have more money for school, you have to spend less in other areas. Even though this is common sense, it can also seem difficult.

5 Most Common Retiree Money Mistakes

They call it your golden years for a reason: because you’re in the money! At least, you will be if you spent a lifetime contributing to social security, a 401K, and other lucrative investments. In truth, it is a golden opportunity to finally get around to all the things you wanted to do (but didn’t have time for). You now enjoy the freedom to travel, volunteer, or simply sleep in for a change.

Are You Financially Ready to Have Kids?

Perhaps a better question is: will you ever be ready? Kids are expensive, in case you didn’t know. Statistics keep changing, but people generally seem to agree that the cost of raising a child to the age of 18 is approximately $200,000. Ouch! And that’s before they even go to college (or continue to live on your couch rent-free…well, don’t worry about that yet). The point is, most people who plan to have a child (or several) don’t have that many Gs on reserve. Does that mean they shouldn’t start trying to conceive?

There’s Nothing Like Family Time! #10WeeksB4Xmas
