Which Financial Documents Do You Need To Keep?

Five Memberships You Can Save Money With Today

There are many types of membership models, but gym memberships are probably the most popular type of membership. As most of you know, gyms often sell (or give) away many more memberships than the gym can actually hold. Membership companies love to sell to people who they know either won’t use it, won’t show up, or just plain forget that they have the membership. In doing my research, here are five membership ideas that can really save you money without breaking your wallet. AAA- (aaa.com) AAA is a membership that has been around for a long time. Most consumers think about AAA as the ‘car’ company. You buy a AAA membership in case you have a flat tire, battery dies, you need a tow, or you get locked out of your car. What most people don’t think about are the hundreds of discounts that the AAA card offers. One of the biggest ones that I have used over the years ...

Socks Are The New Ties

In 1991, I distinctly remember shopping for my very first real suit purchase in Filene’s Basement in downtown Boston. How I longed to start my career a la the Alex Keaton days of Family Ties and come dressed up to work in my spiffy brand new suit. Of all the major accessories that come with a suit, you could easily turn an average suit into a great look with a spectacular tie. The tie is what really brought everything together. You could turn a plain old gray or blue suit with a white shirt into some eye popping candy with a tie that jumps out off of the dull canvas of the plain old suit. I was never one for spending tons of money on clothes, but when I hit my first stride of success, I knew that one stop in the Ermenegildo Zegna store would truly show the level of success I was having. It wouldn’t seem like prudent ...

Why Your Teenager Shouldn’t Have A New Car

If it is your idea, as a parent, to help your teenagers set realistic financial goals and be financially successful in life, one of the worst decisions you can make is to buy them a new automobile. When my daughter was ready to drive, I bought my mother’s 2008 Hyundai Tucson. Funny thing is that it gets my daughter to school and her jobs just as well as any other vehicle. We focus more on teaching her how good the inside of her bank account looks than how the outside of her car looks. She is already well on her way to financial independence–and not making this mistake will help your children get there quicker as well. Specifically, here’s why a new car is such a colossal mistake: The laws of depreciation vs. appreciation. The fact is that cars are guaranteed to depreciate. And the financial lesson you want to teach your children is to buy assets that can appreciate ...

Lil Dicky Top 10 Money Tips

Your Smart Money Moves officially crosses over to the world of cutting edge hip hop. However, there is a reason. A good, good reason. David Andrew Burd[1] (born March 15, 1988) better known by his stage name Lil Dicky or LD, is an American rapper and comedian. He came to prominence with the release of the music video to his song “Ex-Boyfriend”, which went viral with more than one million views on YouTube in 24 hours. (source: Wikipedia). However, what Burd released that really got my engines revved up was a YouTube video called $ave Dat Money feat. Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan (side note: this video should only be watched if you are ready for lots of profanity! http://bit.ly/1ijDPCb). Essentially, Lil Dicky made this video in the really smart money move fashion by asking for everything for FREE! He literally knocked on the doors of mansions, went to high end car dealers, and even stole part of the set on another high end rap video that ...
