Two weeks after my husband had gotten a glowing performance review and his manager sent care packages for all our of our kids, he was told over the phone at a client meeting that he needed to return the rental car by 5:00 and apply for unemployment. I should have been a wreck, but I was prepared.

Quick deal for you. For the next two weeks the W Store is accepting a coupon that takes 40% off your entire purchase. Now, I'm not one to usually shop there, it's a bit overpriced, but the coupon means there are some very good deals to take advantage of. My personal favorite is shown below. An Android Sonic Radar watch , rrp $115 but with the coupon it's around $70. Not a bad price for such a fine watch. If you're willing to spend a little more cash, you can buy a very nice mattress.Posted August 14, 2007 - 05:23 by Myscha Theriault
If you’re like many people, the mere mention of taxes makes your eyes cross and your brain turn to mush. Recently though, I ran across some powerful information regarding tax relief programs the average person can apply for on their own.Posted August 3, 2007 - 07:54 by Myscha Theriault
Love to shop? Just can’t stop? A slight shift in your paradigm and perspective could lead you out of debt . . . and straight to the bank.

We all hear and respond to the popular advice of stashing away an emergency savings account for those unexpected bumps life throws our way. We tuck away tax returns, bonuses, rebates and any extra bit of cash we can carve out each month. Finally, we reach our magical goal of having a few months’ or years’ worth of cash. Then, many of us kick back, start spending, and think we’re fine. Or are we? When the unexpected happens and we need to dip into our hard-earned savings account, how will that money be put back? Without a replacement plan, our emergency savings account can represent a false sense of security. How can we make sure these funds have a safety net?Posted June 25, 2007 - 13:46 by Andrea Dickson
This week, Wise Bread writers share our favorite purchases from the past year. Being frugal isn't just about saving money--it's about spending wisely. Shopping isn't a sin, and frugal shopping isn't an oxymoron. It's just a matter of assessing your needs, wants, and then doing a little research. And when you find something that really suits your needs, buying becomes a truly rewarding experience.
