Understanding Marginal Propensity to Consume

Last updated on: August 30, 2011 at 9:32 am By Tim

The basic Keynesian model centers on consumption. Before I go further, the Keynesian model is based on the works of John Maynard Keynes, an economist of the 20th century whose writings were very influential in shaping the economic framework that has been applied for the last half century. You can read more about Keynes here and here. What is Consumption? In its very basic definition, consumption is the total spending on consumer goods over a period of time (generally a... Read more

Have you paid the Stupid Tax lately?

Last updated on: August 29, 2011 at 8:19 am By Tim

I love to listen to the Dave Ramsey show when I have the chance. While I may not agree with everything he says, I believe that he is one of the greatest voices to motivate someone to get out of debt. His baby steps are an excellent place to start if you are clueless as to where to begin with eliminating debt and building savings. On his show and in his book Total Money Makeover, Dave uses the phrase stupid... Read more

Turning Trash To Cash

Last updated on: August 26, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

There’s a new show on the Discovery Channel called Dirty Money. The show is centered on people who transform ‘trash into cash.’ They will literally jump into dumpsters to pull out items, clean them up, and sell them for a profit. It’s surprising what people throw out or hold onto and never use. The crew on the show can be really creative with ways to restore old items and make a few quick dollars from it, which can be pretty... Read more

5 Ways to Lower Your Health Insurance Costs

Last updated on: August 25, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

With household budgets straining to stay on-track, many families and individuals are scrambling to find ways to save on their health insurance premiums each month. Let’s admit it: health insurance is expensive – but overall, any kind of medical care can make or break many households. Prior to the economic downturn, when I still worked in corporate America, my personal health insurance policy ran right at $56/month. And that rate included health care, dental, and vision. Oh – and even... Read more

August has been an extremely volatile month for the stock market.

Should Churches Use Taxpayer Money?

Last updated on: August 23, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

In 2001, President Bush established an office within the White House called the “White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives” or OFBCI for short. Now called the “White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships” (renamed by President Obama), the basic idea behind the faith based initiative is to provide federal dollars to social services organizations (both church-based and secular) in order to help serve the needs of local communities. According to President Obama, the faith based initiative “will... Read more

Avoid the Holiday Credit Blowout

Last updated on: August 18, 2011 at 9:35 am By Tim

This may seem like an odd time to bring up the holiday season, but now is the ideal time to plan start planning ahead. Of most concern for the frugally minded, is the tendency for the holidays to creep up and destroy all your carefully laid financial plans. The killed combination of gifts, travel and feasting often puts a dent in the budget that takes months to repair, especially if you just put it on credit and forget about it.... Read more

When Loan Sharks Attack!

Last updated on: August 16, 2011 at 9:28 am By Tim

After watching a few episodes last week of Discovery’s Shark Week, I was surprised that the most infamous shark wasn’t highlighted – the loan shark. I guess the marine biologists don’t give much thought to loan sharks, but I can’t help but to tie things to a financial reference when possible. With the advent of the credit card and lines of credit at local banks, loan sharks have lost popularity in the last 50 years, but they’re not extinct! We’ll... Read more
