Does Money Grow on Trees?

April 2012

"Sadly, money doesn't grow on trees. But growing your own fruits and vegetables may be one way to save on your grocery bill. One study breaks down the average costs and savings from cultivating a garden. In the research article entitled, "The Impact of Home and Community Gardening in America," the National Gardening Association explains the numbers and shows the statistics of gardening. This study suggests an individual or family could save money on their grocery bill by gardening."

Investing Options for College Students on a Tight Budget

March 2012

"Investing while still in college may seem like an unlikely option for most students. Many students are responsible for funding their college expenses by ourselves with little to no help from their parents. After paying a couple grand for tuition, several hundred for books, then rent and food, and other expenses, it may seem like you have little to nothing left over at the of the month to invest. But even with a small amount of money, college students have options to invest."

"Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes"

February 2012

"Benjamin Franklin was quoted facetiously saying, "Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Whether you love or hate taxes, most all of us are required to file taxes. In January and February, your mailbox will fill up with tax documents. Each document is one piece of your tax puzzle. Sometimes it can be confusing to know where all the pieces go, but with a little help, you can complete puzzle.

New Year Resolutions That Last the Entire Year!

January 2012

"It's that time of the year when many of us resolutions to improve our lives. For the majority of us, we make goals to lose weight, stay fit, get out of debt, get organized, etc., but normally our goals only last a few months. In a recent study conducted by Richard Wiseman, Professor of Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, 52% of participants were confident they would succeed in their New Year resolutions, but only 12% actually achieved their goals."
