Personal Finance

Whoever said money can’t buy happiness probably wasn’t behind on their mortgage. I’m also willing to bet they never had to choose between buying groceries and filling a much-needed prescription.

I don’t have any proof regarding this -  but my gut is telling me I’m right on this one.  Like it or not, our ability to make and save money is a key factor in determining our contentment  and enjoyment of  life.   This is not to say that buying a crazy, expensive pair of shoes or driving  a luxury SUV is the road to personal fulfiment.   On the contrary, the simple things in life are still often the best.

However, it is much easier to stop and smell the roses when there is enough in your personal bank account to cover your monthly living expenses.

Therefore, articles in this section will cover all aspects of your personal finances, including ways to:

  • Protect and improve your credit scores

  • Borrow money responsibly

  • Guard against identity theft

  • Utilize budgeting and planning tools

  • Find legitimate opportunities to earn a few (or more!) extra dollars per month

We’ll also cover a wide variety of other topics that show you how to improve your bottom line.  Check back often as we are always on the lookout for new ways to help you enhance your financial well-being.
