Zipporah Sandler – Ambassador

Now that I’ve been in my home for almost two years, I’ve got some ideas of what I’d like to do. Before moving in we took care of a few of the cosmetics by painting the interior, removing some kitchen cabinets to open up the look of the area (adding some lighting in the area) and pulling up the ugly pink carpeting and putting new floors down. All…[Read more]

I just finished reading an article about how much you’d have to save each month in order to amass a million dollars in 10 years. While the whole concept of SAVING a million dollars somehow feels strange to me (vs. earning or investing), I was curious.

It turns out that you’d need to save $4964 each month for the next ten years (this is based on…[Read more]

Let me begin by saying that we don’t have a lot of money, but I’m a New Englander living in Florida. I’ve begun thinking that after 12 years of living here year round, that rather than take our two vacations a year up north and spending all of that money on hotels that I’d like to have little place to call our second home. It doesn’t have to be…[Read more]

Yesterday my son was looking for his birth certificate. He had left a box of papers at my house, and found it in with old bank statements, etc. He also found a proxy vote form for a stock that he didn’t know he had. I remembered that a friend of ours had bought him a $100 worth of a stock when he was born. The account number was on the form, so…[Read more]

I grew up in the wholesale automobile business. My grandfather was a car dealer, my dad was a wholesale dealer and even my husband went into the business later on. I grew up washing cars, driving to pick cars up at the auctions, moving cars around the lot, and chasing down titles.

I learned how to negotiate a deal at an early age, went to the…[Read more]

In 9 weeks, 3 days, and 11 hours I will be the mother of a newly married son. I thought my job would be easy….all I have to do is help with the guest list, buy a dress (hubby will get a suit at the store that the kids have chosen to do their groomsmen) and throw the rehearsal dinner.

How much could that cost?

I asked the bride to be how many…[Read more]

The first thing that I notice when I come to these forums is that there is more chatting on debt & spending than on saving. It made me realize just how boring saving can be. There is no thrill of the purchase, the bucket list, etc. Especially when the saving is to put away money just in case of emergency or something that’s not purchase…[Read more]

I am a traveler. More specifically, I am a travel journalist and blogger. I spend a LOT of time in airports, on planes, in hotels, etc. Just this past week I was on my way home from a Canadian press trip and I luckily got to sit next to another person that I knew who was on the same plane.

We both had 2 hour layovers at the same airport…same…[Read more]
