50 Ways to Save $1,000 a Year

These 50 ways to save a thousand a year are a great way to improve one's financial health. Paying attention to them will certainly pay dividends in the long run. I will tweet this and put it in facebook so I can spread the word because with the global economy picture the way it is, there is no better time to implement those saving strategies.

Our Crushing Burden of Debt

The author is right; we have such a crushing burden. And he is right too to say that a way out is a balanced budget. But you know in the 1940s the debt reached 109% of the GDP in the aftermath of World War II and even much of the 1950s. We don't remember that period as troublesome, economically speaking. In fact overall it was a period of robust market and economic growth.

The Debt Snowball Method for Reducing Debt

This is the best review I have read on the Debt Snowball method of paying off one's debts. I am with the author when it comes to his opinion of this method not being the best. For one thing, the debt load is increasing because of the high interest rate as the debt that incurs this will be ignored in the meantime except for paying the minimum due each month. The 80% behavior will come into play then in a negative way.

Preventing Future Debt Crises in Europe

Here's a solution that could work. Pooling the debt into European bonds will motivate the countries to keep their debt to no more than 60% of the GDP. Since the bonds will be categorized as blue for those debts within the 60% of GDP and others that go over will be color coded red, then this may be an incentive for the countries to live within their means for the blue bonds will have a better interest rate.

Investors could help too because they will be more prudent in taking on the red bonds and will scrutinize them more diligently. So where do we invest our money? Blue bonds? Red bonds? Wait, before you do so, read this first: Income Investing Secrets System.

Uncle Sam's Debt Load

I know that the heated debate has all but killed the most sweeping political initiatives but despite the discussions the health reform survived. The political action may be moderating now but the rhetorical intensity will persist and could even grow. So the comparison between the Greek and US debt is not valid, I think.

Bill Clinton Woos Donors on Wife’s Debt

I would love to contribute and get the chance to spend time with Bill Clinton because I believe in what Hillary does for the country but I did not receive that letter the author said Bill sent to the contributors. Unless that letter is addressed to all, but how does one know this? Everything is automated these days; no one seems to get personal except perhaps in Facebook.

Debt Woes? Property Vets Want to Work It Out

These property vets might be able to pull it off. It is this type of people who should contribute to President Obama's Economic Committee that is trying to solve the problems the country is mired in right now. Hopefully, Mr. Ranieri's firm will succeed in lining up backers that will help the borrowers in need of funding.

Fed Intervenes in European Debt Crisis

Phew! Am I glad the US stepped in or the stock market could keep on bleeding. Every enterprise is really global now; if one sneezes, everyone else catches a cold. And the US is still the leader. Without the US intervention, I hate to think we may all go down the hole.

Aspirant Touts Debt Reduction

I am glad Wilson is working on solutions to solve the debt dilemma in the country. The only thing I do not agree is if we ever have to get away with the health reform that has just been passed. I believe every American has to be looked after when they get sick instead of having to go bankrupt. What has got to be done is to increase surveillance to make sure the money spent for health care really goes to health care and not to scammers out there.

Consumer Debt Rose Unexpectedly in March

The rise in the consumer debt got me concerned although the credit card debt has still gone down. What concerns me is that this may derail the little progress we are seeing in the economy. It may be good news in the sense that the consumers may be getting more confident but I just hope they are doing it the right way.

"The Current Government Debt Bubble is the Last of all Possible Bubbles."

I like this article because it tells the story the way it really is. But I am glad not to be involved in trying to find a solution to the problems they have in Europe.

Is Debt Ratio Important?

Paying attention to the debt to income ratio can help one get approved for loan application but there are some things to check out first. Some lenders for instance do not use this in the calculations when trying to assess whether the loan application will be approved or not. Then there is the ten payment rule that applies only to installment loans. If you have less than ten payments remaining, the lender could see you debt to income ratio greatly improved.

Governments Can Go Broke. Guess Who Picks up the Pieces.

Hmm, this is scary thought but I see the point. If the government goes broke, we pick up the pieces because we are the government. We just elect the people who run it. But I am not going to worry about it that much because the story on the government going broke is an old one. I remember stories of it going broke two decades ago and it is still standing tall. The author is right though. If the government sinks, we all sink with it because we are in the same boat.

If you want, you can read this book where the authors unequivocally state that it will shift the reality of everything you have believed regarding the government, money, property, and rights.

How Debt Affects Your Health

Now that the effect of debt on one's health is spelled out so clearly, perhaps we have learned a valuable lesson from this.

More Debt Pressure on Europe…and US Business

It makes sense that despite the rising US dollar against the Euro, still there is problem lurking behind the scenes.

I thank the author for listing down the different ways one can implement in order to avoid living from pay check to pay check. Most notably is to create a budget.

But after this, without a budget, it will be back to living from pay check to pay check.
