Stuff costs a lot. Stuff we buy, stuff we have, stuff we want to get rid of, stuff we don't buy because we can't afford it, stuff we bought that we can't afford, stuff that isn't stuff, but is actually a service of some kind. This week in the Best of Personal Finance, we looka t the cost of stuff, even stuff you don't really think about.

It turns out that the flow of money may hold some insight into the spread of swine flu.

We hear it all the time: Time is Money. But do we really treat our time with the same respect we treat our money? If we really do believe that time is valuable shouldn't we be budgeting it out just as strictly as we do our money? Who knew playing video games (or trying to) could teach such an important lesson?

In the black community and many other communities there is a sense that material possession and flair denotes character, accomplishment and power. It's a poor dad mentality and a “flash-now-but-time-will reveal” consumer ethos. What does a person's ethnic background, if anything say about spending and budgeting habits? And how does one correct this course?Posted April 27, 2009 - 05:39 by Philip Brewer
The money economy is one of the givens of modern life. For the ordinary person with bills to pay, getting by without money is almost inconceivable. Even someone who tries hard to escape the money economy is faced with taxes, utility bills, and the like. Personally, though, I find the lure of non-money economies seductive. That's why I've been very interested in this Spanish site whose name means "without money."

It's a — pardon the expression — timeless saying: "You can always make more money, but you can't make more time." The staunch followup to that tends to be that you can make better use of time.

Lately many Californians have been heading to the rivers and streams to prospect for gold. The increase in people taking up this activity has some newspapers writing about "the new gold rush". Although very few people can make a living off of finding gold, it is a decent money making hobby since gold is worth around $900 an ounce currently. Here is how you can get in on the action.

Everyone is feeling the economic crunch these days, and that includes the Treasury department. It’s no news to anyone here that there has been increasing unhappiness with President Obama’s latest rounds of bailouts, but today could be a turning point for his recent negative PR. And it’s going to save the government a fortune.

Sit down and grab a cup of your favorite beverage. I’m about to tell you the remarkable story of a young man who has built a successful online business; one that makes in excess of $400,000 per year. And most amazing of all is not that this young entrepreneur’s site is all about parrots. It’s that he doesn’t even own a parrot.

Anyone here like doing taxes? Didn’t think so. We all have to do them; we all have to pay money to Uncle Sam (although some get away with paying much less than others). But as a freelancer and/or a blogger, are you overlooking dozens of legitimate deductions that could save you a whole lot of money?
