Am I On Track For Retirement?

Last updated on: September 26, 2012 at 8:00 am By Tim

I hope you have some sort of savings plan for your future. Whether you use your company 401(k) or an individual retirement account like a Roth IRA, you’ll be better off if you start thinking about it sooner than later. Ok, fair enough. You’ve heard people rant about saving for retirement and how most people don’t start until it’s too late. What good is another article about saving for retirement going to do? Probably not much.

What is the Consumer Price Index and Why Should You Care?

Last updated on: September 24, 2012 at 12:11 pm By Tim

Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the CPI report. It’s not an exciting report by any means, but it’s interesting to watch these types of economic trends. CPI stands for Consumer Price Index and takes into account the increase in the price of a representative ‘basket’ of goods and services. It doesn’t take into account every increase in price, but gives us an idea of how prices change over time. The CPI-U gives us data on price increases... Read more

The Grass is Greener for Good Stewards

Last updated on: September 19, 2012 at 9:18 am By Tim

Sometimes it’s tempting to think about the life we’re working toward. We can’t wait until _____________ (fill in the blank). That something could be school, a better job, a bigger paycheck, a newer car or house, or better health. Don’t get me wrong, these things can motivate us sometimes when we feel overwhelmed, and can help to stay on track. But when the ‘next phase’ is all that we think about, we risk losing sight of what we have in... Read more

The Gift That Keeps on Growing: Betterment Gift Registry

Last updated on: September 17, 2012 at 7:36 am By Tim

One of my favorite online investment companies (Betterment) just launched a feature called Betterment Gifts. It’s a way for you to set up an online gift registry that others can contribute to. The best part about the gift registry is that your account is invested just like your other Betterment goals, so it’s able to grow over time. Think about it like this – if you are planning on getting married and want to save up for a down payment... Read more

How to Maximize the Effectiveness of Your Emergency Fund

Last updated on: September 12, 2012 at 8:50 am By Darren

Everyone knows that financial experts suggest you have an emergency fund. That’s because when major, unexpected life events happen, such as a job loss or blown car engine, you don’t want to depend on credit cards to bail you out. If you use debt to cover these emergencies, you’ll be going in the wrong direction on the road to building wealth. For this reason, a strong foundation for your financial house should be made up of a well-funded savings account,... Read more

How P.O.D. Accounts Help You Avoid Probate

Last updated on: September 3, 2012 at 8:00 am By Darren

If you’d like an easy way to keep your hard-earned money out of probate, payable-on-death (P.O.D.) bank accounts are the way to go. With this account, all you need to do is properly notify your bank of whom you want to inherit your money. How it Works As long as you’re alive, the person you named as beneficiary has no rights to the money in your P.O.D. account. You’re free to spend the money, name a different beneficiary, or even...
