Mileage Plus, Double points, Saphire, REDcard….if you recognize any of these names it is likely because you have some of the same cards in your wallet as I do.  As my husband and I discussed our financial goals for 2019, we once again discussed the desire to have a better handle on how and where we spend our money each month. We have set budgets before but ‘things’ kept popping up. A statement from TARGET, or GAP, VISA, or some other card would be lurking in the background and disrupt...READ MORE

Spider Web Planning

A spider web planning approach is often taught in writing classes. The idea is to put a main idea in the center and put web threads surrounding it that support your main idea. What if a similar approach could be used to assist in planning your finances? 

It might be worth trying with an income tax refund, a bonus, or other unexpected money. Many times, family members have differing ideas on what to use money for. For an example, put the amount, we’ll say $3000, in the center....READ MORE

The New Pros of the Con

The New Pros of the Con

We have all heard about someone getting scammed or conned out of money. We used to be wary of our wallets and pick pockets, but now the big money is in phone calls, identity theft, and cyber criminals. This term Con Man or Con Artist goes back to 1821 to a man named Samuel Thompson. Con is actually short for Confidence Man.

Many involved breakfast cereals or toys of some kind but one that always registered for me was American Express’s “Don’t leave home without them” traveler’s check commercials. Karl Malden would come on the screen and very gruffly (at least more gruffly than I remember as I re-watched them) tell the viewer about all of features of traveler’s checks, mainly security and how they can easily...READ MORE
