With only a few weeks left in 2009, now is definitely the time to look ahead to 2010 and what it can mean for your finances. My brother is my accountant, so I leave most of the paperwork to him, but I still need to know what big changes might be coming along from year to year. So in order to help you (and me!) out, I went looking for information on what tax law changes we have in store for 2010, and this is what I found…
OK, not ALL my money…but I am moving my checking, “immediate need” saving, and brokerage accounts over to Charles Schwab. I have written in the past about my displeasure with some aspects of Bank of America and while I have been with them for what seems like forever, it’s time to move on to a bank I can be happy with. I looked into credit unions, which I would have preferred to go with, but I didn’t find anything in my area that I could join that met my needs. So Schwab it is, and so far so good…with the opening of the accounts.

Every month almost one million Americans consider and purchase a new life insurance policy. In today’s economic environment, when consumers are often looking to reduce costs, what are the most affordable ways to protect a family?
Life insurance is the foundation of a smart financial plan, particularly when there are family and loved ones who depend on a person’s financial support. All other financial planning can be for naught without the foundation of life insurance in place. That’s why you see millions of people researching life insurance online and almost a million a month purchasing life insurance.
Well, it’s the holidays and that means it’s time to travel. When you live 2000 miles away from everyone else in your family, guess what? You have to go to them as they all won’t be coming to you. And because I was planning on bringing my sick cat back east with me in the car, I never made train reservations – and I had to put the cat to sleep last week. Thus, I have no cat and no train ticket…so I will be driving anyway as the train tickets are absurdly expensive at the last minute. Hope it’s clear sailing and I don’t get stuck in a blizzard! On to the roundup…
That would certainly make shopping more fun! Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend – only a few more before 2010. Not sure how that happened, but it is what it is…
