I suppose my top question would be if one is approaching 50, how much should he/she plan to have for retirement expenses if they live in region with low property taxes and personal expenses?
My daughter just got one of these "Debit MasterCard" netSpend cards in the mail today. I have REAL DISDAIN for netSpend and/or any company that sends out cards in this manner. Hopefully, most people will not fall for this. They are basically just attempting to steal people's money through all types of fees. My daughter's reply to netSpend is "NO THANKS!"
I am on a tight budget due to not being able to have both myself and my husband work so I can care for our special needs child. My question is what is the best way to convince my husband that cutting off cable is best so we can put more money into a family vacation fund or use the money into some kind of Mutual fund that can be tapped into for increasing our quality of life
My question is how much is the minimum that a person should be saving weekly for retirement? We don't seem to have much left over after our bills are paid and i'm concerned that we aren't saving enough.
How do I save any money on a monthly basis when I am on a fixed disability income and support my disabled daughter (she has no income) and granddaughter? I have tried every which way to save for an emergency but unable to do so. Just got socked with thousands of dollars in doctor bills as well from cancer.
Thanks for this contest! I am most curious about how to balance savings with spending. I'm in a position where I can comfortably afford my life expenses and to save for the future. My husband and I are in a good spot for retirement and for our children college education. I tend to want to save for a rainy day, but I don't really know why I do that.
My question is how to allocate the extra money? Should we save more than our baseline for the future? Can we splurge on a family vacation (~$10K to Hawaii as there are 6 of us), finish the basement?
My top question is how do I develop a monthly/quarterly/annual budget? I pay necessities with credit and pay off my credit cards each month. I was told to try the cash in envelopes technique but maybe there's a better way?
I don't doubt that he/she has a 800+ credit score at all. I'm over 800 as well and have similar bills as they do. The main difference with myself is that I'm married with two children and have hospital bills that are constantly growing due to a chronic illness, so I'm also living paycheck to paycheck. Still able to keep that credit up though...
On a side note, I don't expect my children to take care of me. Even through all of the difficulties, I know God has me protected! Credit score doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things...
