The New Minimum Wage Increase Debate—who Is It Good For?


2009-07-29 Millions of minimum wage earners are getting a boost from the federal government as the new minimum wage increase takes effect—an increase of 70 cents. This increase is the final stage in a series of minimum wage hikes passed by Congress two years ago. Wages has increased from $5.85 to $6.55 last summer to the new current one of $7.25. While this raise is aimed at giving workers such as retail shop workers more buying power, it, at the same time, is said to be threatening small business and their ability to continue during this period of economic turmoil. The federal minimum wage increase is sparking a debate as who this is really helping, if at all.

These Bank Fees Are Putting A Bite On Your Savings


2009-07-14 Have you ever used your ATM card to take money from an ATM machine that is not owned by your financial institution? I have, and I’m sure that you have as well. And when you do you get charged an ATM fee of between $1.50 to $2.50 per transaction not only by the institution that owns the machine but also by your own that provided you with your ATM card. These charges are just one of many that are putting a bite on your savings and the thing is these outrageous bank fees add up over the long term. How big is it exactly? According to Bob Hammer, CEO of R.K Hammer, a banking industry advisory firm, bank fees account for over 53 percent of the banking industry’s income in 2008.

Staying Fit May Be Putting A Hole In Your Finances


2009-07-10 I just had my car bought in to have its regular maintenance and while the cost was not prohibitive, I noticed that it had gone up. It made me realize that like cars, maintaining our own bodies so that it stays fit and healthy is becoming more and more expensive. No, I’m not talking about the general rise in health care costs per se but rather about the rising cost of personal fitness, one that is putting a drain on your individual finances. Exercising, being fit, and being healthy are supposed to give you the energy to tough it out during this difficult economic times and relieve the stress that it brings.

Let’s Find The Right Bank For You

2009-07-09 I’ve received a few emails from people asking me to give them advice on how to find the right bank for them. Now it may seem such an easy thing to do—go to the nearest banking institution and open up either a savings account or a checking account, or both. But that necessarily isn’t the case. Remember, this is the place that you will be entrusting your money to so you want to make sure you find the right bank for you to have a meaningful financial relationship with. Finding the right bank can be difficult, and I’ve seen people who have multiple checking and/or savings accounts at the same time either with the same financial institution or with different ones and getting no actual benefit.

Feel The Financial Hardship Because Someone Lost Their Job In Peoria

2009-07-06 The numbers are staggering to comprehend. Despite the fact that our workforce has increased by over 12.5 million for the past nine years we actually have less people working since that time. The Department of Labor has already reported that for June alone, unemployment due to job loss totaled 467,000, a number that has pushed our country’s unemployment rate to a 26-year high of 9.5 percent. President Obama said that “it took years for us to get into this mess and will take us more than a few months to turn this around.” While that is a pretty optimistic view I doubt if it will take more than just a few months to turn this around.

We’re Finally Saving But Are We Doing More Harm Than Good

2009-07-02 I had the occasion to stay over my friend Edward’s home one weekend since his place was quite a ways from mine, it was getting late, the weather wasn’t exactly cooperating, and I didn’t feel like driving. I had asked for a razor since obviously I didn’t bring any and with a sheepish grin Edward tossed me a pack of disposable razors that he bought from the local dollar store. While he didn’t say anything else I pretty much understood the implications in light of what has been happening in our economy lately. For the most part, we Americans are cutting back on our consumption and spending and are putting more in savings.
