When we consider that most Americans spend anywhere from one third to one half of their monthly income on housing, and t…[Read more]

I’ve heard most people need to purchase more life insurance in addition to whatever their employer includes in the standard benefits package. How have others handled deciding whether to do this, and how much extra life insurance to get?

Sometimes, simply being aware of the dollar figure associated with a habit we want to change can be enough to motivate a change. Smokefree.gov has a quick calculator that lets you estimate how much of your disposable income is going towards cigarettes.
In the example below, I’ve assumed a pack-a-day habit and a price per pack of $5.31 (the…[Read more]

Turns out there’s more to saving on gas than finding the lowest gas prices in your area. A test by Edmunds.com showed we can get 35% better fuel mileage by switching from an aggressive to a more laid back driving style.
I guess this makes sense. Regularly slamming on the gas pedal pushes more fuel into the engine while keeping the engine r…[Read more]

Cara Reynolds – SUM180 Community Manager started the topic How do you save on life insurance? in the forum Grow your savings 9 years, 1 month ago
