I would like some ideas on how to save on my groceries at the store. The way prices are going up and up, I need to save all I can. Thanks ahead for the tips.
I am about to move out of my parent's house soon. I am trying to form a budget and need some help. The problem is that I am a waitress, so my net pay can vary immensely from week to week. I'm trying to figure out how much I can afford for rent each month. Any thoughts? Thank you.
My fiance and I are finally moving in together after a long distance relationship. I am wondering how I can find a reliable financial adviser and/or what investments we need to start looking into. We still need to pay for our wedding and find a place to live.
Both my husband and I own separate homes. Mine was bought in 2003 for 62k @ 5.9% before we got married and his house was bought in 2006 one month before we got married for 161k @ 7.0%. What should we do since both houses are 30 yr mortgages and our combined income in 72k yearly. Any suggestions? Note: I recently invested a personal inheritance of 5k in Money market and Roth IRA. Was this wise?
I am asking for help with my finances. Just recently I stopped working my second job because of the very long house. Now I just have one job and the problem is that it pays bi-weekly. Because I have just one income I have been behind on my bills the credit cards are at the limit and above some are in collection because of late or non-payments.
No matter how broke you are or how frugal you are being, there should always be something in the budget for entertainment. We all need that to re-charge.
In a few weeks my fiance and I will be moving to Des Moines to start living in the "real world". He is graduating from college and I will be continuing my education in the area. Since this will obviously be our first time out on our own, I am in desperate need of some tips!
I have tried to follow the envelope system but i am still having a rough time with my money, just blowing out of my hands with nothing to show for it. Will someone please give me some ideas as how to do a very basic budget, without a very long process and maybe how to set up the envelope system.
