When we buy some lovely fresh cut flowers, it can be a
challenge keeping them alive. There are a few techniques you can use to keep

you? Let us know!

Use Fizzy Juice

This may seem like a bizarre thing to do! Many people think
that fizzy drinks will kill the flowers there and then. But this is not the
case. If you pour around a quarter of a cup of fizzy drink into your water in a
vase, it is thought that the sugar in the fizzy drink will make the blossoms
last for a lot longer than they normally would without. For those of you with a
clear glass vase, it could be a good idea to use a clear fizzy drink, such as
Sprite or Lemonade. Oh, and make sure the fizzy drink is not a diet version. We
need the sugar!

In this day and age, it is imperative for all businesses to
have their own online presence. Most prospective customers will want to do a
search online for your business, and if they see no website, they will be unlikely
to make use of your services. But fear not! Building your own website doesn’t
need to cost you the earth. In fact, it is possible to create a free website if you spend the time
and effort to make it happen.

How to Get Started…

First of all, choose a domain name (website address). Domains
can be registered for around $10 from websites such as Godaddy.com. You will
then need to get a website hosting account. Prices vary depending on what
features you would like, but it is possible to get website hosting for as low
as $10 per month. When you have these basics in place, you are ready to start building.

Life is full of surprises — some good and some bad. Most of us just try to ride the wave the best we can, making the most of what we have.

When it comes to our financial lives though, there are steps we can take to ensure life’s “surprises” don’t throw our lives into a tailspin. You can’t predict when your car will break down or you’ll face a medical emergency, but you can plan for those “what ifs” in a financial sense.

Unfortunately, not everyone who needs emergency savings has enough — or any at all. A recent survey from Bankrate revealed that only 40% of respondents could cover a $1,000+ emergency expense with savings. Everyone else would have to charge their emergency bills to a credit card, take out a personal loan, or find some other way to pay.

April is Financial Literacy Month in the United States. This is a pure and noble thing. I think it's great that there's one month each year devoted to promoting smart money habits. That said, it has become increasingly apparent over the years that most financial literacy programs fail. They don't work. And this isn't just me speaking anecdotally.

In a 2014 paper from Management Science, three researchers conducted a “meta-analysis” of 201 prior studies regarding the efficacy of financial literacy. Their conclusion?

While it’s far easier to simply renew an insurance policy year after to year rather than shop around for a new provider, it should go without saying that inertia can be costly.

Cutting costs however, isn’t the only reason to leave one insurance company behind for another. We asked insurance industry experts to share some of the top signs it may be time to part ways with your insurance provider, whether it’s life insurance, home insurance, car insurance, or any other type of policy. Here are some reasons to cut ties.

One thing I have always struggled with is understanding the money news. Whenever the money news comes on it sounds like the people on TV or the radio start speaking gibberish. What is the stock market, I mean, what actually is it? What is Dow Jones? What is NASDAQ? What do all of the numbers mean? I feel like you have to have an encyclopedia just to understand what is happening!

I actually agree with you. When news reports discuss most of the issues of the day, they either provide enough background so that people can understand (to a degree) what’s going on or they rely on very big news stories of the recent past that people who have been following the news for the last month will have enough background to understand the latest story. With financial news (and, to a lesser extent, sports news), that’s simply not the case. People in the media assume a surprising amount of knowledge from their listeners/readers/viewers.
