I graduated college almost three years ago and have been working since. I’m thinking of going back to school for an M.B.A. degree. I can really go deep into finances and business then. Also, there have been more money pouring into the markets now. The economy seems to be picking up [...]

I rented the Suze Orman’s DVD, The Road to Wealth and I have to say it’s pretty good. I recommend it for those who are interested in managing their own finance and learn about different kinds of investments and savings. I agree with her that the best financial planner is really yourself and when you [...]

I just received my copy of this book, Young, Fabulous and Broke. I think it’s a good book for those who just graduated college or have been working for only a few years.
The biggest investment you can make when you’re young is to invest in yourself. Taking extra courses in school or [...]

I talked to my sister who’s still in college today about early investing and starting to be in control of her fiananes. The good thing is she’s studying nutrition and she’s going to be a dietition so she can related how starting early can make a big difference in the future. Because in [...]

I wish I can get some comments. Does anyone else read this blog? Should I change the template? Would a brighter background look [...]

I have been using Microsoft Money for a few years and I have to say using a software to keep track of expenses is really helpful. I put in all my financial accounts, whether it’s banks, credit cards, investment banks or loans, and I keep track of all the transactions on each account. [...]

There are some peope that just saves up every penny they can and hardly spend a dime in a week. While I’m all up for saving money, I think sometimes taking it to the extremes can fireback on you. I don’t want to be a penny pincher; I think that takes the flavor out of [...]
