Use your children's natural excitement for dressing up to discuss budgeting, cost analysis, counting, etc.

Read the whole article here: Teach kids the financial tricks and treats of Halloween .

Do you know what a "write off" is?


Do you know people who think they know what they are talking about when it comes to money? It can be a very dangerous approach to take their advice.

Excellent Article Exhibiting why Our Country may be Doomed:

How (Treasury Secretary) Paulson Gave Hedge Funds Advance Word of Fannie Mae Rescue

Evidently, this "insider information" is not illegal since Paulson evidently "broke no law", but saying one thing to Congress (Public Statement) and stating the exact opposite to a chosen few is repulsive.

Why the Obama Administration has been reluctant to prosecute any of these financial crimes is beyond me, I believe he would have tremendous support from the people.

Thoughts?
