As economic conditions worsen, more and more people are getting into coupons and frugality in general. But a lot of people get overwhelmed just trying to figure out where to get started. I realized this when Shreela, a reader that found this blog from one of my posts on Slickdeals, left this comment: Hi, I’m [...] I found this very interesting article on Marketwatch.com discussing the little known option of deducting losses on 529 plans. It is an interesting concept, and is quite logical. Here’s the rundown: losses on a 529 are deductible to the extent they exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income. To be able to claim the loss, [...] Attention campers! Your 2008 federal income tax return is due April 15, 2009. Start making your last minute preparations now!!! Think I’m a bit premature in this warning? I think not.

The concept seemed like a good one: an application to help you organize information on your financial accounts and affairs for your loved ones to refer to if something should ever happen to you.

You have voted, and it is official: “Ghost of Seasons Past” has won the second annual CECK pumpkin carving contest. As a reminder of [...] Although I do stray from the topic of personal finance occasionally, I usually don’t write that much about my political views. However, considering the importance of this presidential election, I feel impressed that I should share my thoughts on the choice that we have in this election. First off, don’t think this is decided by [...] |
