Surely you've heard that it's a good idea to have two or three months worth of salary tucked away in an emergency fund. Such rules of thumb can be useful, but do you really think it would help much to have two months of salary on hand if, say, your basement flooded? What if you were disabled? What if you were out of work for a year? How do you really know what you'll need...
You may know that elderly folks are often pushed into making bad investments or downright conned out of their money. But you may not know exactly how it happens. As I've learned in recent years, it's often not a case of a confused 90-year-old doing something you and I would never do.
What would it feel like to open your wallet and find hundreds of dollars you didn't know you had? What if your money multiplied like that month after month?
It seems so very tempting: instant riches, all the material goods you desire, right there in the palm of your hand. Hard work? Sacrifice? Naaaaah, you can worry about that boring stuff later. One little signature is all it takes, and the world is yours. And by the time you realize that you're in deep trouble, it's too late; you're going to pay, and pay, and pay for what...
Kids these days don't know how bad they have it.
It started innocently enough one morning. Each day, I check the balance of my Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) account and review the most recent transactions, and each day, I'm unsurprised. (Well, not counting the day when the bank accidentally tacked on an extra two zeroes to a quick deposit and added $10,000 to my account — which was promptly reclaimed. But I digress.)
Dear Valued Customer, Over these past several years we at [Company Name] have enjoyed providing [service description] to you. As you might have seen on [local, regional, prime time news program] or read in [local, regional, national ... well, everywhere], recently our private database was compromised, and your personal information (including your name, Social Security...
The IRA concept is simple: Open an account, fill it with money, tell Uncle Sam whether you want to pay taxes on it now or later, and let it ride until retirement.
Burning gas = burning cashIt's no surprise to any Fool that oil stocks have been all the rage. Per-barrel prices soared above $71 recently and gas prices here in Denver are inching toward $3 per gallon. There's no relief in sight.
Doesn't everybody dream of something? Maybe it's a new car or a bigger house. In the Beyers household, we dream of world travel. But we're in the minority in 2006. According to the United States Travel Data Center, Americans are planning to take shorter trips and stay closer to home this summer.
Odds are, there's a document or two that you know you should have, but you just haven't gotten around to yet. It might be your will or a living will. But did you know that there are actually lots of documents that you might want to consider adding to your file drawer? Below I've listed 10 that I think are must-have documents. See how many you have, and take action on the...
Dear Mrs. Riches: My brother and I have never gotten along, and now, after the recent deaths of our parents, we're even more at each other's throats. Unfortunately, rather than spelling out specific bequests, our parents' will just left us the whole kit and caboodle, to be split 50/50. My brother wants to immediately auction off the house and its contents, but I strongly...

If you're confused about which type of retirement account to choose, here's the quick and easy (and probably smartest) strategy: Put your money in a Roth IRA. Compared with an employer-sponsored retirement account — such as a 401(k) or 403(b) — or a traditional IRA, the Roth is by far more flexible and likely will lead to more money in retirement.

Bad news, iPod Nation: You're failing finance. And this time, there's no make-up course. That's the conclusion of the Federal Reserve and the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy. Every two years, the coalition surveys teens on a wide range of personal-finance topics, and this year's results were, shall we say, less than reassuring. Participating high school...
Dear Mrs. Riches: Help! My husband is addicted to the hardware store, and it's getting ridiculous. Our garage is filled with expensive tools still in their original packaging, stacks of unopened boxes of nails and screws, and who knows what else. He's spent about $500 just in the last three months alone! Whenever I see him coming into the house with a new shopping bag of...
Did you know that laying drywall together can make your marriage stronger? According to a 2003 survey by hand-tool maker Great Neck Saw Manufacturers, 54% of couples actually enjoy working with each other on home-improvement projects. And 9% of handy couples said that fixing up their homes together is — get this — romantic.
