With all this talk about a possible new recession on the horizon, watching your finances has become even more important. The great thing about learning to watch your spending is that once times get better you will have developed the discipline to ensure you can weather just about any financial storm.
There's nothing more we want than to be able to efficiently manage our money. After all, the money that we want to manage is money that is oftentimes, hard earned. This is where a budget comes in. A budget executed properly, should help you see where your money is going, get more utility out of every buck, and help you save some extra for future use.
The first smart secret to a budget is to set a goal. What do you want to achieve? Do you want to correctly appropriate your income into bills payments? Do you want to put an amount aside for a big purchase or a huge investment? By having a goal, you will be able to shape your budget to best serve your interests.
Secondly, you would want to take note of where your money usually goes. This includes bills, major but regular purchases (like grocery costs, healthcare costs, and the like), and everyday miscellaneous purchases. Only when you list down where you know your money usually goes will you be able to identify which expenses you can do without. Once you've identified these regular expenditures, take into consideration what you can cut back on. How much do you spend on your daily caffeine fix in the morning? How much do you spend on newspaper deliveries to your front door? The measly $2 or $5 of these small purchases cumulatively translates to more than $3600 a year! Instead of buying your expensive latte or reading the newspaper on print, put aside the amount you would usually pay for these small routine purchases in a small container. You will be surprised at how much you're saving out of your older budget.
Being indebted is a vicious cycle on its own. You're talking about continuous payments, not to mention huge interest rates. The best way to deal with this is to pay the minimum on all of your debts in order to avoid paying extraneous late fees. Whatever cash excesses you may have, you can opt to add on to the payments you make in your biggest debt. This way, you are concentrated on getting the biggest debts first that cost you the greatest interest rates. Doing this progressively, you'll be amazed at how much you'll get off your huge debts.
The last and most important step is to jot down the amount you earn the sum you spend. You can make use of computer cash management programs, or make database sheets of your own. Make a system that works for you and will help you keep track of your monthly budgeting progress.

Saving Money While Still Having Fun On Your Vacation
Summer is here and again it is time when most people take their family vacations. The kids are out of school and of course it is expected of the parents to use their vacation time then. In these tough and uncertain times (have there ever been easy and certain economic times? I didn't think so either) saving money once you reach your destination is easy if you know some simple tricks. Plus you'll have more money to spend.
When traveling independently you will almost always do better in terms of price and quality if you veer away from the traditional places to eat and shops that the guide books mention. Going off the beaten track can mean you pick up a real bargain.
Restaurants
Follow the locals; if you head for a tourist orientated restaurant or shop you will find that the prices are substantially higher and often the food is not of the same quality.
Another good tip is to visit the local market where the locals shop. Not only will you get fresh products at good prices but you will also enjoy the experience of mixing with the locals. Ask those around you where to go, after all, it is the locals that are best placed to tell you where to go for a good deal!
A good way of working out whether a restaurant is geared towards tourists or locals is to see when it is at its busiest. Tourists tend to eat a lot earlier than the locals in most foreign countries. Any restaurant that is empty until around 9pm and then fills up is probably frequented by locals.
Car Rental
When it comes to rental cars the costs can vary widely and it really pays to shop around. Sometimes you will be offered good deals as part of your hotel stay or airfare, consider these as combination deals will also be a lot cheaper than you could get on your own.
Booking car rental when you have reached your destination is normally cheaper than reserving in advance if you have not got a good combination deal.
Make sure that you have suitable insurance, as any accident could make a huge dent in your holiday budget! There are good ways to save money, but insurance is not an area that you should scrimp on.
Always select the smallest car that is suitable for your needs, this will be cheaper and will cost less in gas. There is also a reasonable chance that you will be upgraded for free. If you are feeling bold, it is worth asking at the counter if there is any chance of a free upgrade, you never know your luck!
If you are booking car hire from a distance, look at the costs of car hire from the airport as well as from the city that you are staying in. Car hire companies will pay more to have an airport franchise and you may find this reflected in the prices that you are quoted.
Always fill up the gas before you get back to the car rental office. Car rental companies will charge well over the odds for any extra gas that they need to replace on your behalf so take the time to tank up before you get back if you do not want a large bill at the end.
Come back next time for more tips. Tricks and techniques to assist you in Living the Champagne Life on a Beer Budget.

How To Stay On Target With Your Family Budget
In these economic (or any economic times really) the secret to financial independence and peace of mind is to watch how one spends their money. People who spend recklessly in good times are hurt when there is a downturn or emergency situation crop up. But financially smart people prepare a budget and stick to it no matter what the economic times are, and when emergencies hit they are better off to weather the storm.
The always ever increasing cost of living in today's society, wherever you may be, has made budgeting a priority among families. In today's inflationary world, nothing is more important than knowing how to wisely spend the income that you get.
Financial problems usually arise due to lack of proper budgeting skills, or failure to keep to the proposed budget. No matter how much income you may have, it is still important to keep track of your assets and liabilities, your earnings and expenses.
It is ironic but a person who earns thousands will have the same problems with the person who earns by the hundreds. Most often, different kinds of people, with diverse income levels, have budgeting problems. Others who may have been successful in making a budget, usually fail to keep within such a budget.
A budget refers to a financial plan, taking the incoming and outgoing monetary resources into consideration. A good budget should not only mean a balance or equity between income and expenditures. It also means lesser expenses, and making an allowance for savings.
If you earn a thousand dollars per month, you should map out all the necessary expenses you will have to incur during the month such as payment for your house, food and transportation. Of course, this is presuming that your tax liabilities have already been settled. What remains after you deduct your total expenses from your income is your savings.
What you do with your savings will make a difference later on, when the need arises. You can choose to keep your savings in a piggy bank or place it in a bank where there is minimum interest rate but at least your money is safe from you and from intruders. With a bigger savings, you can get the services of a financial adviser who can give you higher-yielding investment options
Here are tips to make sure that you keep within the family budget:
1. Maintain a logbook where you can list your income and expense account on a weekly or monthly schedule.
2. Buy your groceries at one time. To do this, make a list of all the things that you would need for your target period and purchase them at one time. Sometimes, there are discounts if you buy by the dozen so take advantage of this.
3. Avoid going to the supermarket and shops if you do not need to buy necessary items. This will keep you from making unnecessary purchases and keep you from straying away from your budget.
4.Think twice before you buy something. By doing this, you will realize that it is not really a necessity but a whim.

Gambling What is The Social Cost?
Luck, this is not just a word but a belief for most people. These people come from different walks of life and in this world of material struggle, who would not be lured by the glitter of money? Indeed, people are now ready to grab whatever chance that is being served to them. This pushes them to gamble.
Gambling is popular all over the world. It comes in various ways and means. To mention one of the most popular forms, it is lottery. For some people, this is the remedy but the hidden fact is that it is a big blow to the society especially to those who are poor and disadvantaged.
According to recent studies, majority of those who try their luck and gamble are people from the poverty line. Of course, the reason is too obvious. With the current social problems that deprive them from having the means to improve their way of living, they resort to what is the easiest for them.
This action leads to worse outcomes. Poor as they are, they are bound to have more debts and the more they yearn to try their luck, the more these debts would kill their lives gradually.
Another thing is that gambling becomes a vice. How does it happen? As shown by statistics in the United States, when these poor and less educated people win even just a mere amount of prizes, they would crave for more and eventually gamble more.
When this happens, all the other social issues like the role of these gamblers in their families would definitely be bruised. When the family is affected, the whole society follows.
There are numerous books and writings such that of Boydon Cole and Sidney Margolius, “When You Gamble--You Risk More Than Your Money” it is stated here how a family is being torn by gambling as an addiction. Gambling once it becomes an addiction would never lead you to goodness. It could be as worst as breaking your family, committing a crime or ending up bankrupt.
As gambling diminishes your social worth as a person, as a citizen, the whole society is greatly affected.
Come back next week for more tips, tricks and techniques for living the champagne life on a beer budget. Remember we're all in this together and I'm pulling for ya.

OFFLINE GAMBLING- The real Scam Of The Century
Ah the lure of easy money, the thrill of the game, the adrenaline rush of the hunt. Yes all these are the thrills of gambling, legally or illegally whether offline or online. The consequences of out of control illegal gambling are well known and drastic, but what of the consequences when legal gambling gets out of control?
Gambling is very popular, from way back when, and more so today. It is a scam itself. In fact the oldest form known. Not only a scam, but very deceptive. Statistics show that about six percent of adults that are involved in gambling are severely addicted to such a "past time" as they call it. People who are hooked on gambling have the urge to bet on almost anything. From horses, cards, and the casino. The number doesn't end there. It continues to expand.
Casino scams are everywhere. High payouts and promising winnings are put up in huge slogans thereby attracting people who want to earn money the fast, easy and enjoyable way. A fact is gamblers waste a lot of their time, in the hope of winning. So they don't give up easily.
Studies show that gambling problems can easily occur in individuals with no self control. It is necessary for one to identify if he has problems, so it can be identified and acted upon promptly.
Here are some questions one should ask to detect if there is a problem:
* After gambling, when you lose money, be it a small or a large amount, do regret it, or feel resentment?
* When you win, do you have a strong desire to win more, therefore you want to go back?
* When you lose, do you feel a need to go back very soon?
* Do you spend a lot of time gambling, usually longer than what you planned?
*If you have problems, do you gamble to forget them?
* Are you spending more time gambling than with work?
*Do you not stop until your very last dollar is taken up?
*Do arguments take place between you and your family as a result of your need to gamble?
*To finance your gambling, do you borrow money from friends or associates?
Gambling addiction can be destructive. Family, friends and your reputation are at risk. It is a condition often times ignored. There are escape gamblers that affect seventy five percent of women from their thirties and up. Usually the reasons for gambling is to escape from the emotional pain that they are in, being bored, lonely, depressed or that they make gambling their hobby or past time. These types of addiction can be cured in three to six months.
The action gambler is much more difficult to deal. Most are men, where gambling for them creates ecstasy like a drug addition. This is much harder to cure, since the individual will deny the fact, when confronted. They will typically not stop until left with nothing, financially.
As gambling creates a lot of scams, it is a fact that still more and more are drawn to it. The primary reason is to win a huge amount of money. But then comes in the most lethal of reasons -- that of feeling a certain euphoria. Scams or no scams, an individual still continues to gamble and is a reason why offline gambling still thrives today.
One needs to be honest with oneself and stop this terrible disease from ruining your life and that of your family and friends before it is too late.

The State of Your Unclaimed Money
You know how good it feels when you fish a $10 bill out of your jeans pocket right before it hits the wash. Many Americans have found missing money secrets and have claimed money that rightfully belonged to them. You could be one of them. Imagine coming into hundreds, even thousands of dollars from a savings bond or a bank account you forgot about.
Lost cash, aka unclaimed property is becoming a cash cow for many states. These unclaimed assets/money is effectively revenue for the States. If there is a question as to the last known address of the owner, State's are beginning to make challenges or delaying a reciprocal agreement previously enforced between other states to transfer the cash to another State. This has resulted in states not listing some lost assets in its public online database until the issue is resolved. As the amounts of funds increase the difficulty of claiming your rightful property is also starting to also. You may require professional assistance.
These lost funds, for the most part, once received are placed in the Government general fund and spent on roads, schools, it becomes a part of their operating budget. If everyone of the approximately 27 million Americans were to claimed their money at one time, the vast majority of the states would not have the cash reserves to meet this obligation. There is no incentive for any Government agency to try to find or to contact individuals who have unclaimed money or property.
Every day, for whatever reasons, People move away and do not update their address, they lose track of some of their investments, they die without a will, and who knows why else...but, they leave money in banks, in utility accounts, security deposits, and many number of other ways. Some of these monetary items end up in the state's possessions after they are declared abandoned by the organization or bank that held them. These forgotten bank accounts, un-cashed stock dividends, insurance payments, safe deposit box contents, utility deposits, travelers checks, money orders and other financial instruments are turned over to the state's Treasurer's Escheats, Comptroller's, or Revenue office who then try to track down the owners and return the money.
The extensive spiraling growth in the number of American families who are losing their homes seem unending. The wave of the current recession hasn't crested and is slowly creeping inwards from opposite coasts. All but a miniscule percentage of the US population has not been affected by the economic crisis that just turned global and has people worldwide struggling just to keep meals on the table.
To say people are desperate for cash would be a gigantic understatement. Unknown to most, there is a way for Americans to get their hands on some easy money. It's not a sure-shot deal mind you, but it's not a scam either. I'm talking about lost money belonging to people and businesses that have lost track of their finances through bad addresses, file mix-ups, oversight or what have you.
A large portion of the American populace are actually richer than they think. All they need to do is discover if they are entitled to missing money from state and federal unclaimed property offices. It is quite easily to do. Are you ready to take the next step an find out for yourself? Visit this web site for more information.
Property is considered abandoned if there has been no activity on it for more than three years. There are multiple billions of dollars in lost assets and unclaimed funds awaiting you in your state general fund for this purpose There is a great chance that some of it belongs to you. Co-workers and many many others have an interest in what happens to all of this unclaimed funds. Are you[/V]Will you be[/V] going to receive your inheritance or sit back and fail to avail your self of the services that your state offers? Are you going to claim your unclaimed funds? Reclaim your share of unclaimed money billions. Don't you deserve it!

These forgotten bank accounts, un-cashed stock dividends, insurance payments, safe deposit box contents, utility deposits, travelers checks, money orders and other financial instruments are turned over to the state's Treasurer's Escheats, Comptroller's, or Revenue office who then try to track down the owners and return the money.

What is Wrong With Our Financial Press
It's the end of the world! Repent now or be lost forever! We will never see good times again!
Sayings from religious nuts? Rantings of a lunatic? No just the popular press on TV and in print creating another crisis. It's as if someone turned a switch and now,according to them, we are forever damned.
Why the “Doom and Gloom”? Because it sells newspapers and TV shows that's why.
Amazingly the TV people tell us we don't want to hear “happy stories”, just about who is being bad and
that we are having a crisis. How do they know? They never try the other way, except during the “soft news” portions about cute puppies and kittens. Why don't they focus more on success stories and the good that is happening in the world? Because they don't really know what is going on, they are just repeating feeds and wires passed to them. Hey it's easier than actually working eh? Besides it helps spread the gospel of “group think” and they all want to be good drones.
The main reason for this of course is the narcissistic nature of the society these days. (Of course it is easy to blame it all on the baby boomers, but the younger generations are even worse. Proof you say? Well just look at MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, etc. and see the “Look At Me” nature of all the posts and whining). So everyone wants to think that this is the worst ever because that means we are now part of history. Guess what, it's not, and the press knows it, but it doesn't sell ad space to admit that.
The exception of course is sports reporting where today's stuff have to be the “Best Ever”, even though they don't take into consideration the advances in technology and money issues etc. Yes, instant gratification for dummies.
But I regress.
Are times bad? Yes.
Have they been like this before? Definitely.
Will good times ever return? Of course.
When? In the next few years.
What is happening is called “A Business Cycle”. Things go up and then come down, then back up, then back down, then.. well you get the picture. It has been happening since day one, the cavemen and cavewomen had it easy, they just migrated to better areas when things looked bleak in their environs, hence how the world got populated over time. Of course we can't do that enmasse, but we will adapt and things will turn better, and we will all be the stronger for it.
But the same people who have been predicting that “There Is No End In Sight For Good Times” are now predicting “No End In Sight For Bad Times”. And they claim to be professionals? Professional what? The these so called “Journalists” are only newsreaders picked because for their looks and personalities. It is disgusting that these idiots are even on the air or writing for newspapers and magazines. Worse are a lot of these special shows. There are some, to be fair, that are good and those few people actually know what they are talking about. You know who you are and who I mean. But the majority are just good at moving their lips and making coherent sounds come out in pleasant voices.
What should you do? Well if you are smart you would just ignore “Doom and Gloomers” like the New York Times, Washington Post, etc and most TV Talking Heads. You will be surprised at how things are actually not as bad as they seem if you observe readily what is going on.
Sure there are bad things happening, but it is not the end of the world (that comes on December 21, 2012 if the Mayans are to be believed, but that's another story for another post). But by keeping our heads and helping out one another, we will survive and be ready for the next uptick, which should be around the autumn I believe.
Be sure to stop by weekly for more tips, trick, techniques and observations on “Living the Champagne Life on a Beer Budget”.

What Good Is Life if One Can't Enjoy It?
Two people, similar jobs, similar paychecks, similar habits, clothing etc., yet one seems to be living better than the other. Why is that? The answer is that the former is spending wiser than the latter. How can that be? Is there a secret to living frugally, yet still enjoy all the pleasures that life has to offer? The plain and simple answer is of course YES!. This blog will attempt to help those who are stuck and need help living below their means without sacrificing much in return. There are simple ways to cut outgo why preserving income for better pleasurable uses. Of course if you are too pretentious or snobbish to care about things like that, then enjoy your many years of credit card hell and worry.
Look back into this blog for weekly (if not more frequent) tips on saving, investing, and shopping, yet enjoying ones life on one's own terms. Believe me I have been there, and once I discovered a few secrets, my life became one of enjoyment.
The first step is of course to decide upon your personal value system. By this I mean what are you comfortable with in terms of clothes, styles, foods, tools, beliefs etc. Or as Oscar Wilde would put it: "Success in life is striking a pose, then holding it". This is being true to oneself and living life on your own terms instead of letting others decide for you. This is the beginning of deciding who you are without compromising, for once you compromise your true self, then your self image will falter and you will become bitter and stop enjoying your life. This is not what this tome is about. It is about enjoying life to its fullest yet not spending yourself into debt. True some sacrifices might have to be made, but they will be in line with your core beliefs and that is the journey we are about to embark upon. Take these tips as you will and get out there and start enjoying yourself.
Yes life is for living not stressing to live.
