Money And Health with Sharon Sayler

How To Balance Money And Health Money and health are tightly connected. And, when thinking of the two, millions of Americans are stressed out!

Wives: Don’t Take The Backseat In Your Family’s Finances

Too Often Women Take The Backseat In Their Family’s Finances, You Don’t Have To Today, women have the same earning potential as men and in many professions, and in others, even more. For some odd reason, women still allow themselves to take the backseat in their family’s finances and that not only puts an incredible amount of unnecessary pressure on men as providers and family heads, but puts women in a dangerous place in the event that things go sour in the market place or i

Basic Percentage Based Budgeting

I’ve been asked by a lot of young professionals to do some articles on finances and budgeting. When in doubt, consult your own financial advisor, tax specialist, or someone you trust to answer questions about your own personal financial situation. I run my family’s budget based on percentages as it is the easiest way to A) Stay on or under budget and B) Stay disciplined financially. The following budget percentages are based after tax.

Is No Job Better Than A Lower Paying Job?

A reader recently sent in this question: I was laid off 3 months ago and I haven’t been able to land a job. I am running low on cash and my unemployment benefits are running out. Is it better to have no job than to take a low paying job that has little to nothing to do with my most recent job?

Job Security vs Job Satisfaction

What is more important: Job Security or Job Satisfaction? This is a very subjective question as some people believe job security is more important while others believe job satisfaction is more important. I’m going to approach it from a different way. It doesn’t take an expert to tell you that nobody in the United States is offering job security anymore.

13 Ways To Save Money

Here Are 13 Ways To Save Money: 1.

If there was no money left over for the month, we
