- You Need A Budget For Financial Success
By: Bradley Dawson | - There are many factors that come into play if someone wants to be financially successful.

- How Do You Spend Money? (and What Does That Say About You?)
By: Jamie Jefferson | - Sometimes we go along in the world, and we think we are living authentic lives. Then we wake up one day and realize that we are a little off target. We recognize that maybe we are working toward the wrong goals entirely.

- How To Stimulate Consumer Spending And Jumpstart The Economy
By: Steve Selengut | - My survey produced an interesting anomaly--- several respondents felt that excessive consumer spending was the primary cause of the economic problems we face today, and that spending is not to be encouraged.
But the root problem they were correctly speaking to is the source of the spending money, not the spending itself. Spending is essential for demand creation, and increasing demand is what produces jobs.
So why we ask, does government remove the dollars from th ...

- Spend Less Or Earn More?
By: Jay Peroni | - Lottery winnings, investments, and inheritances aside, there are only two basic ways to increase your personal wealth: spend less or earn more. Ironically, spending less may be your most immediate route to having "more" - more affluence and more confidence.

- Why Pay Per Click Campaigns Capture Customers
By: Dominic Donaldson | - There are many ways to encourage consumers to part with hard earned cash and even more books from authors claiming that they have found the magic formula that can bag the reader millions.

- Cutting Back Is The New Chic
By: Jill Black | - Is saving money good or bad? Are do-it-yourselfers virtuous or ruining the economy? Is bringing lunch to work an act of treason?

- Simplified Explanation Of A Flexible Spending Account
By: Linda Shute | - Flexible Spending Accounts are tax-favored accounts that allow participants to set aside money pretax for eligible Medical and Dependent Care costs. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are a benefit offered by most employers that allow an employee the opportunity to put some of his/her salary aside before taxes to pay for many common out-of-pocket expenses.
