What’s happening to our economy?

My 401 k is now more like a 201 k.

This has many of us considering ways to save money, but often, staying on a strict budget just doesn’t work

J.D. Roth writes a blog called “Get Rich Slowly”, and his tip is to track your spending if you can’t stay on a budget…

I think that tracking your spending is a great way to start getting a handle on just where the money goes, without having to impose a budget on yourself ... .

The real way to make financial progress is just to take these slow steady steps ... . They’re boring, they’re not exciting, but they work ... .
