We’ve only bought 4 pieces of real estate in our lives, including two homes. Understand what regulations there are on the use of the property. Be there at rush hour in the morning and evening, during weekend days and evenings and on holidays. Most counties now have real estate tax and appraisal records on line.

Not many – but by planning ahead now you might find ways to lessen the expenses you will face next month and use the annual experience as a teachable moment in your child’s personal finance education. Parents already know that back to school time is the second most expensive time of the year (right after the holidays).

My husband and I discussed some ideas over our holiday break and we decided on 2 solid must-achieve financial goals for the year. Shame on us for dragging our feet on this for too long. We blew through our health savings account, and now need to save another $10k so we’re not caught off guard if another emergency were to happen.

This is not something I want to see, so today I have a few videos for you that will dispell credit card myths, teach you how to use them properly, how to keep them safe, and how to make sure you should be getting credit in the first place. Those are all great ideas, but one company is taking it a step further to help motivate us.
