When writing checks for things, always round off to the next dollar in your checkbook register. All of those cents add up!

| 15 Ways to Create Some Extra Holiday Money
|
|
By Skye Thomas
|
|
Originally this was going to be a list for my two teenagers but some of these ideas are better suited to adults with a valid driver's license and a bit of know-how. Some of these take a bit of planning and organizing, but most of them could be done on a fairly spur of the moment case by case basis. The great thing about a lot of these ideas is that you're spreading holiday cheer by helping to make someone else's otherwise stressful and overwhelming to-do list a little bit easier. Who wouldn't pay to have someone come do a few of these things for you? Mostly, what's important is that you remember to provide a quality item or service to the buyer with a smile on your face and in your heart. Have fun with these!

| How Did I Get In This Mess?
|
|
By Terry Rigg
|
|
When I was younger and having all kinds of money problems, I ask myself this question a thousand times. It seemed like one day we were doing fine financially and the next we owed everybody. How can it happen so quick?

| Save Your Coins
|
|
Save all your coins everyday and place them in a container and after a year use that money for something you want to do, like a vacation.

| Help Prevent Check Theft: Use Gel Ink Pen When Writing Checks
|
|
I used to work at a bank and once during our monthly meeting a couple of investigators from the DA's office came to talk to us about different scams; identity theft, etc. They told us to NEVER use a regular ball point pen to write a check as the ink could be "washed" and the check could be re-used. They said to always use a gel ink pen, that the gel ink wouldn't wash off. They demonstrated by putting some regular nail polish remover in a small bowl and dipping the check and using a cotton ball to wipe until all the ink was off. Some crooks are very meticulous and leave the signature intact; but that's not really necessary since banks clear clecks electronically and only spot check signatures. If there is such a problem, though, your bank will refund the monies lost after filing a police report.

| Turning Trash Into Cash
|
|
By Jeffrey Strain
|
|
Junk. We all have some of it lying around the house. Whether it's boxed items cluttering the attic or everyday items that just don't fit with the room's decorating theme anymore, many of us have more than we need. At some point it all gets to be too much and in a fit of energy we decide that our place needs to be cleaned. Then the junk gets moved, typically to the nearest trash can. But wait. Before you throw out all that stuff, it pays to take head of the saying "one person's junk is another person's treasure."

| MLM Success? - The Dollar Stretcher
|
|
By Gary Foreman
|
|
What do you think of MLM businesses? I have been approached by an IBO. As much as I'd like to do it, I am still ambivalent. In addition, it's hard to do in-depth business research on the net. The stories might be true or not. I want hard reliable evidence so that I can be sure that the business would be good for me.

| Check Your Credit Before Buying Insurance
|
|
Check your credit before purchasing homeowners or auto insurance. Your credit it seems is an indicator of the risk you will be. It is less expensive to correct something inaccurate on your report before instead of after. If you have some bills that have not been paid on for some time start payning as much as you can. Insurance is expensive why pay the extra surcharge if you do not have to.

| The Difference Between Wants & Needs
|
|
By Jeffrey Strain
|

So you want to become wealthy? While there is no single road to getting there, it's a sure bet that one principle is in place for those who keep their wealth over a lifetime. Live beneath your means. Spend less than you make. Don't spend more than you can afford. It doesn't come any simpler than this. If you want to create wealth, you have to learn to do this. It doesn't matter if you make $10,000 a year or $1 million, if you don't learn how to master the step of spending less than you earn, you'll never create lasting wealth.
