Sunday Savings Tip: Setting Expectations During the Holidays

Today's tough economy can provide a great opportunity for you to teach your children some powerful lessons about money and spending during the holidays. Help them learn the value of prioritizing by asking them to choose the top 3 items on their wish list. Doing so will help them identify the gifts they truly want. Remember when fulfilling a child's desire for gifts, it's easier to under-promise and over-deliver.

Planes, trains and automobiles. As the country prepares for one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, travelers are shaking their heads at the price they have to pay to spend time with friends and family.

Sunday Savings Tip: Open Season for Savings

Last week marked the beginning of Open Enrollment for many employees across the country. With rising healthcare costs nationwide, many have been driven to simply select the plan with the lowest premium. But the lowest premium doesn't always result in the lowest cost to you. Reviewing your plan selection every year is always a good idea; you might even be able to come out ahead. Outlined below are some of the many things to consider when choosing your health insurance plan.

Sunday Savings Tip: Protect Your Identity Week

It can happen to anyone, anywhere; suddenly your account balance takes a dive, or you receive a bill for a credit card you know nothing about. It's not a memory lapse, it's identity theft. All it takes is a few key pieces of information and someone can access your accounts, open new ones, apply for loans, make major purchases and more.

Sunday Savings Tip: May 22nd

Next week is Memorial Day, which is a busy time of year for price slashing at many stores. There are sure to be sales across the country with many tempting offers. For savvy shoppers, this can be a great opportunity to keep within your budget. But be wary of buying something just for the sake of making a purchase.

Consider birthdays and holidays. Plan ahead for upcoming events in your life for which you might need to buy a gift, such as birthdays or even year-end holidays. Buying these presents at sale prices will make your recipients and your budget happy!
Think twice about each purchase. Is this something you really need or are you only purchasing it because it has a sale sticker on it? On sale is still too expensive if you don't need it.
Check out the ads before you go shopping. If you need to cut coupons, make sure you do it in advance and know what you want to buy at each store.

Avoid putting purchases on your credit card. Some cards do offer benefits and rewards, but if you cannot pay off your card at the end of the month, the interest rates will negate the cheaper price of whatever you purchased.
