How to Improve Your Credit Score

Last updated on: April 30, 2012 at 8:00 am By Darren

In a perfect world, we’d pay for everything we buy with cash so that we won’t be in debt. And to the extent that you can do this, I’m in favor of it. The reality for a lot of us, however, is that our largest purchases are usually made with credit. For instance, buying a home, buying a car, or paying for a wedding may require some form of credit. People with good credit save tens of thousands of dollars... Read more

Teaching Kids About MoneyA is for Apple….B is for Budget

Last updated on: April 26, 2012 at 8:00 am By Whitney

Do you ever wish that your child would have learned the alphabet like the title of this article? As a teacher for nine years, I can tell you that I have had very few money talks with my kids while at school. I talk more about money now than I ever have before and I’m a music teacher! But if there’s ever a chance where I can throw in the word “budget” or discuss my opinions of credit cards then... Read more

Til Debt Do Us Part

Last updated on: April 25, 2012 at 8:00 am By Tim

According to a 2009 study The State of Our Unions done by Jeffrey Dew, a professor at Utah State University, couples who reported disagreeing about finances once a week were over 30% more likely to divorce over time than couples who reported disagreeing about finances a few times per month. There’s a reason the phrase ‘Til Debt do Us Part’ has become so popular today. It’s because consumer debt erodes marital satisfaction over time for newlyweds. Don’t believe me? Take... Read more

Should the Poor Give?

Last updated on: April 24, 2012 at 8:00 am By Timothy Artisan

The Bible is clear on tithe (the word tithe itself means ten percent), and that tithing is one more step towards obedience to God. The important thing that people miss about tithe is: God doesn’t need your money. It is important to understand that tithing is more a demonstration of where your heart is, and that is what God cares about. Matthew 6:21 “21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Defining “Poor” It is difficult... Read more

Value Investing: How to Become an Intelligent Investor

Last updated on: April 23, 2012 at 8:00 am By Darren

What is Value Investing? Value investing is an investment philosophy that was created by a man named Benjamin Graham. This philosophy involves buying stocks that seem to be underpriced based on fundamental analysis. What this means is that just like most of us who look to buy cars for less than its manufacturer’s suggested retail price, value investing is all about buying stocks at a price that’s less than their true value. Why is Value Investing Relevant Today? I’m sure... Read more

Is Annual Credit Report a Scam?

Last updated on: April 20, 2012 at 8:00 am By Tim

We all like free things, right? But if you’re like me, you probably wonder what’s the catch when you hear that something is free. When it comes to financial products and services, there’s almost nothing that’s really free. So when I hear commercials and websites offering free credit reports, and free credit scores, the first thing I do is to check with the FTC to make sure that it’s not a scam. When it comes to checking your credit report... Read more
