This post was written by Marie. What makes millionaires different from the merely affluent or the middle-class? The Spectrum Group set out to understand this by sifting through their ongoing quarterly research. The Spectrum Group publishes reports about the affluent and the retirement markets. They conduct survey based research each quarter with thousands of wealthy households – targeted to networth levels of: the mass affluent ($100,000 to $1 million networth households ); the millionaire

School's out for the summer and now mom has to entertain two kids who get bored very easily. I know my kids have plenty to do around our house, but the same toys, bikes, books and swing set can get boring after just a few weeks spent at home. I need to have a game plan for summer activities and they need to be fun, affordable and last longer than 10 minutes.

Unless you live in New York or Connecticut you should be able to get a good deal on Pepsi tomorrow, June 15, 2011. I received an e-mail from CVS saying if go to the store and scan your card at the scanner on the 15th you should get a coupon to get a 12-pack of Pepsi or Diet Pepsi for 99 cents. I’m assuming that everyone will get the coupon if they scan their card that day, and the e-mail is.

You can save a lot of money, be eco-friendly, and keep toxic chemicals away from your home by making your own non-toxic cleaners. To make it even better, one product can be used to clean multiple surfaces and it only costs a few dollars. That product is vinegar. Vinegar is an effective household cleaner because it kills most mold, bacteria, and germs.

I’ve received several questions recently regarding copying printable coupons, especially after all the talk from Extreme Couponing, so I want to make sure this is clear: Copying coupons – from the newspaper or printable is NOT ok, and is actually considered Coupon Fraud. Why is it Wrong to Copy Coupons? 1. Coupons are not just a discount. They are a form of payment , in which the store is reimbursed.

I stumbled upon this quote from film director Stanley Kubrick the other day. And, while he's referring to camera and film video, I think his advice holds true for screencasters as well. "Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all." - Stanley Kubrick quotes (American Film Director and Writer, 1928-1999).

I mentioned recently that making your own household cleaners can help you save money, be eco-friendly, and keep toxic chemicals from your home. Another great product to use in cleaning around the home is baking soda. Baking Soda is also a great household cleaner because it deodorizes and cleans, plus, the best benefit is that it is cheap. Some ways to clean with baking soda include: Sprinkle it on the carpet to neutralize odors before vacuuming.

The following is a guest post by Raising A Family On A Budget. For the past 10 years, I have been making my own jams, jellies, pickles, salsas, and sauces and canning them. Not because my mother or grandmother taught me how to do it, as a tradition passed down from generation to generation. Rather, as an escape from all of the super fast, super processed foods that were on the market.
