A reader wrote me the other day asking “What banks/firms do you keep your money at? With all the tons of banks out there, we are having trouble deciding which ones to go with. Thanks!”
You got that right…there are hundreds, if not thousands, of places to keep your money. From [...]
If you are like most people, you still get statements in the mail for your credit cards, banks, auto loans, utility companies, etc.. But did you know that most of these companies will gladly set you up for online delivery of all the statements? We started doing this a while back and I [...]
Anyone who manages their money on their computer knows about Quicken, which is probably the most popular of the personal finance software available today. However, for a lot of people just looking for simple money management tools might find Quicken to be a bit much…I know that when I first started using it (I don’t [...]
If you happen to have a Bank of America credit or debit card, they are offering free admission to over 85 museums in May. I just looked at the area around where I live and there are 6 listed that we can go to for free. Pretty cool…just thought I would mention it. [...]
OK so I did not coin that phrase about being the killer of Quickens…but I thought it was pretty funny, so there. Anyways, this morning I was reading about Cha-Ching from Midnight Apps on one of my favorite Apple sites, TUAW, and this thing looks like a good little personal finance application for people [...]
Turns out I did quite a lot of snoring last night; enough, in fact, that my wife went and slept on the couch for 3 hours in the middle of it. Strange, as I don’t really snore (according to her)…but I feel very tired today. What does this have to do with [...]
I received an email this weekend asking about good places to have financial accounts, as the emailer was not sure what investment companies were good, bad or ugly. So I wanted to write out this list about where we keep our money for various things like retirement, emergency funds, etc and hope it answers some [...]
Well, it finally happened….2006 has ended and it’s time to begin again. Just as a recap for the beginning of the New Year, I looked back through my archives to when I began and picked out a few of my favorite posts for those of you who are just starting to read this site now [...]
I love Google finance, can I just tell you that? And I love it even more now that they have updated it with all sorts of new features. Google has been kind enough to post a kooky little video about the new features they have.
If you don’t have the time to [...]
Over at CNN/Money they have an incredible list up of all the overpriced and ridiculous fees we have to pay for everything, from credit cards to mortgages to banking to investing. This list is quite exhaustive and I have posted the list without all the information they have up. To read their tips, go to [...]
Yet another USB drive to back up your important financial and insurance information and carry it with you is on sale over at Buy.com for $0.00 after rebate and by using Google Checkout. If you still haven’t gotten one of these, please be sure to get one or 2, as they are great for portable [...]
First off, a disclaimer…I dont work for Bank of America. That being said, I think their “Keep the Change” program is an incredible way for the “troubled saver” to actually save some money. I think it was back in November of 2005 when I first heard of this program, and we immediately signed [...]
