money

Memorial Weekend is a weekend that we all look forward to. Most people have 3 days off work. We plan to pay our respects and spend some quality time with the people that we love. But, how much does Memorial cost you? A new survey from PR Web found that the average person will spend a total of $225 Memorial Day Weekend. Most of that money is spent on three things . . . food, booze, and DEALS. Read

It's tax day, which means a lot of you are written or have already written massive checks to the government. For those of you that didn't have to pay, you may have already spent your tax refund.

Taxes are due in just a few weeks and for most people that should be exciting. Most people you talk to will say that they did their taxes and got some money back. But they don't always seem excited about it. Why?!

I remember when I was a kid and the tooth fairy would sneak into my room at night and take my tooth and leave a nickel. Those days are gone! A new national study asked 'how how much does the tooth fairy give for a tooth' and the number is massive!

We all have budgets that get tight from time to time. My families budget usually gets really tight around Christmas or after a vacation. There are certain things that we refuse to give up like our high speed internet and Netflix but when budgets get tight somethings HAVE to go.

This is brilliant. This is genius. This is also crazy and maybe a great way to save money! A guy in New York created a website called Skiplagged.com for a genius way to save money on your next vacation. The idea is that you book a cheap flight to a small city that has a connection in a major city, then skip the connection and just stay in the big city.

Holiday's can be expensive! You may think the 4th of July is an inexpensive holiday because it's not celebrated with gifts. But the average family ends up spending $318.00 on the 4th of July and Americans as a whole spend $645million dollars on fireworks alone!

If you are plan on traveling this weekend for the 4th of July and want to save every penny you can, check gas prices before your leave.

It seems that politicians are always talking about budgets. We either have too much money (yeah right) or we don't have enough and we need to make cuts somewhere. How about this - how much could the government save by switching fonts on their printed papers?

One-hundred-dollar bills are about to get quite the colorful face-lift.

That's a lot of money that I would like to have, especially since we're getting close to Christmas. Too bad for me, I'm not eligible for the $10,000 cash prize contest since I work here, but a man can dream.
