Calculating Cost Per Meal Per Person

Last updated on: August 15, 2011 at 7:00 am   By Tim

Recently I wrote about how my wife and I keep our grocery bill at $250 each month.  We shared our grocery saving tips and had a lot of great comments.  A few readers asked what the suggested budget should be for a large family (7 people with teen boys).  There really isn’t a hard and fast number to follow for making a family food budget, because location, jobs, family age and appetite will be significant factors to take into consideration.... Read more

3 Ways To Stretch The Life of Your Car

Last updated on: August 11, 2011 at 9:01 am   By Tim

A recent AAA survey came out that said 54% of Americans don’t want the financial headache of having a new car payment.  With the uncertainty of the economy causing unrest among Americans, the trend has been to keep your car running as long as possible.  Unfortunately, while the economic bind has kept drivers from upgrading their vehicles, the cost of repairing their old cars is becoming more and more burdensome.  According to USA Today, 25% of drivers have neglected repairs... Read more

How to Buy a Musical Instrument

Last updated on: August 10, 2011 at 7:00 am   By Tim

I remember signing up to play the saxophone in band almost 13 years ago.  I could hardly wait to start!  I loved the idea of playing the saxophone so much that I wrote it down for choice #1 and #2 – the director got a kick out of that and said that I’d get one of the coveted sax chairs. There was only one problem.  I didn’t own a sax, and we couldn’t afford the $1,400 price tag of the... Read more

Home Insurance Basics You Should Know

Last updated on: August 9, 2011 at 9:03 pm   By Tim

Owning a home is one of the most important and most expensive purchases a person can make.  Unfortunately, there are risks that can destroy a home in minutes. Those risks can include fire, flood, or any other untold event that could damage the house, such as a tree falling on it in a windstorm.

Stock Market Crash of 2011

Last updated on: August 8, 2011 at 9:47 pm   By Tim

It doesn’t take a financial expert to know that a one-day stock market drop of 5.5% will cause a hefty blow to our retirement and investment accounts.  No matter how many times we’ve seen the stock market toy with our emotions, the idea of watching our hard earned money disappear slightly in a matter of days is uneasy for anyone. The August Dip that we just saw this weekend stemmed from the S&P’s announcement that it was reducing the US... Read more

6 Stock Categories Peter Lynch Uses

Last updated on: August 3, 2011 at 7:00 am   By Tim

On the front cover of Lynch’s book “One Up On Wall Street,” this phrase sits under the main title: “How to use what you already know to make money in the market.” To some, making money in the stock market can feel as challenging or difficult as learning to speak a foreign language.  I know I’ve heard people say at least one of these reasons for not investing: I don’t have time to invest. I don’t know where to start!... Read more
