To Save Money, Dine Out And Live It Up!

By Financial Samurai on January 28th 2012 in Personal Finance 24 comments

Can you survive on boiled eggs, toast, salads, and frozen dinners? Well sadly, that’s the extent of my cooking and I certainly can’t! OK, I exaggerate a little as I also know how to boil pasta and put some Prego on top, but beyond that, guests of Chef Sam aren’t in for a fine dining [...]

What To Do When You’ve Lost Your Wallet

By Sydney on January 23rd 2012 in Personal Finance 24 comments

One of the WORST feelings is the realization you’ve lost your wallet. Whether it fell out of your pocket on the bus never to be seen again, you got robbed, or have no recollection of where or when you had it last, they are all equally awful. I’ve misplaced my wallet dozens of times, and [...]

Not Saving For Retirement Is Like Jabbing Your Eyeballs With Needles

By Financial Samurai on January 15th 2012 in Personal Finance 17 comments

There is nobody on Earth I know who enjoys taking a needle and jabbing their eyeballs. I also don’t know anybody who takes pleasure in dropping a dumbbell on their bare toes. Doing either of these things is completely irrational. Given not saving is like jabbing your eyeballs with needles, it’s safe to say that [...]

Grace Goldoni Saved $300,000 By 18, Why Can’t You Too?

By Financial Samurai on December 22nd 2011 in Personal Finance 23 comments

I’ve long held the belief that there’s much more money out there than we know. This belief is a large reason why I think the underbelly of the economy is fine as consumers are cashed up. Therefore, it’s with no surprise that CNNMoney highlighted a list of excellent young super-savers who have amassed tens of [...]

Where Does All My Money Go?

By Sydney on December 1st 2011 in Personal Finance 17 comments

I don’t consider myself a big spender. I only shop for myself once or twice a year and I like to take my time searching for sales and reading reviews before I buy things. I like to save and use more of my disposable income on experiences and travel instead of on trendy clothes, accessories, [...]

Do You Have Home Emergency Insurance?

By Jamie Makar on November 8th 2011 in Personal Finance 1 comment

If your house burns down and you don’t have insurance, you are SOL. Nobody wants to go through that kind of devastation alone. I recently called my insurance company to ask how what my home insurance deductible is, and they said it is 3%. In other words, if my house is worth $300,000, I have [...]

What’s going on in Europe’s debt crisis?

By Jamie Makar on October 10th 2011 in Personal Finance 4 comments

As a UK national you may be surprised to learn that I’m not really up to speed on the debt crisis that currently has a stranglehold on large parts of Europe. Although the UK is a part of the European Union, and so must shoulder some of the burden when constituent countries face financial meltdown, [...]

10 Tips For Helping Family Members With Money Problems

By Sydney on October 7th 2011 in Personal Finance 18 comments

I’ve never been that great with money and investing, and fortunately I’ve never been that bad at it either. I have absolutely no interest in buying LV bags or Christian Louboutin shoes, and I think the most I’ve ever spent on a single piece of clothing was $200 for a winter coat, and even that [...]

Risking Everything For Education

By Sydney on September 22nd 2011 in Personal Finance 23 comments

My parents have never been good with money. They were constantly borrowing from their own parents to get bills paid. It wasn’t something they were proud of and they always emphasized they never wanted me to end up in their situation and have to rely on money from friends or family to survive. They said [...]
