What does your mind conjure up when the world salesperson is mentioned? Do you think of sleazy used car salesmen or high pressure tactics used on you by a door to door saleswoman? Why in the world would a sane parent want to teach their child sales techniques? Why Teach Your Child To Sell? Like it or not, selling is an integral part of life. Learning, practicing and honing your child’s sales skills will not be taught in school, but will be core to his or her success in life.

Most of us think about new beginnings and fresh starts on the first day of the New Year. We make resolutions and goals that we hope to keep throughout the entire year. For those of us with children, though, the best time to start over is the beginning of the school year! Kids get in that back-to-school mode. They’re ready for the new year, new school supplies, a new teacher, and new friends.

My Adventures in Prius Gas Savings. As most of you know, I’m currently testing out a Prius right now in part of PriusChallengeAZ.com. As I mentioned when I first started this program, I was definitely curious about what kind of gas savings I would find driving the Prius and ultimately to find out if it would save me money by driving it. The last few weeks were a perfect test for me because I was driving all over town with errands, meetings and teaching coupon classes.

Having a green car can really help you feel better about how your driving habits impact the environment. Plus, green cars tend to help you save money on gas, right? After all, if you have a greener car that gets better gas mileage , you don’t have to fill up as often. However, sometimes a green car won’t save you as much as you thought. Consumer Reports recently analyzed 2011 models of green cars, and their “non-green” counterparts to get an idea of what is likely to rea

I have long been a fan of hardware…it always adds a much needed edge to my otherwise feminine wardrobe, so lucky for me, fall 2012 is looking to be the season for embellishment. From over the top appliques that look too scary to wear (or touch) all the way to tiny doses of studs in unexpected places (like this Zara tweed blazer for $50 !) this is an equal opportunity trend that anyone and frankly everyone should be adding to their wardrobe for the new season.

Did you know that you can use toothpaste to clean your car headlights? If they’re really cloudy, simply scrub headlight with a rag and some toothpaste. Then wipe away toothpaste with a clean, dry rag. Be sure to use the paste kind, not the gel kind. It works wonders, and it’s super cheap! You can probably just use a bit of toothpaste from a tube you already have on hand.

These days it seems like everything is expensive, even having fun. Many people like having hobbies , but many of us have cut back when it comes to doing the things we like so that we can save money. Building model airplanes, for example, might have gone by the wayside with the recession because it is a hobby that can quickly get expensive. If you are looking for a new hobby or simply something fun to do with your family that is inexpensive, there are quite a few options available to you.

Our children learn by example. We as parents are usually the first and primary source of their learned behavior, even as they grow into their teenage years. Even as teens and older children try out different mannerisms and characteristics borrowed from other adults, such as teachers, sports figures, and celebrities, and even more so from their peers and older siblings, most would agree that parents still play the most important role in influencing a child’s behavior and belief system.

A couple of weekends ago, the boyfriend had to take his truck to the shop to get repaired. It cost over $1000, so when we went to go out for our Friday night dinner (we hate cooking on Fridays), we decided to stay in to save money. When I proposed this to the boyfriend, he agreed. But the next thing out of his mouth was “so, what should we do?”.
