money

I started this in the beginning of the year and so far, it hasn't been to hard to do! It's the New Year Savings Challenge and I'm glad I have kept this going. It's not too late to start! Here's how!

There are quite a few billionaires in the world; some have worked hard to amass their fortune, others have been lucky enough to inherit theirs. Here is a list some of those billionaires that have not had to work a day in their life but since they received their money have done some good with it.

Yesterday, I was thinking that I could use a little more money. That's when I remembered the old Oprah Winfrey episode when she gave all these people in the audience BIG checks of the money they had found online that they had no idea was owed to them. Remember that one? Well, I went to the website and, lo and behold, I found our family MONEY!

I saw this yesterday and instantly went to my credit card statement to see if I had been charged! Luckily for me, it didn't happen. But did it happen to YOU?

I know this happens to people all the time: You are getting ready to do laundry and you find $1 in the back pocket! Or you look at the bottom of your purse and you find $5. Well, I found the best thing ever!

You've seen it all over Facebook. And you SAID you would start it at the beginning of the year. But DID YOU?

You might have seen the image all over Facebook of the 52 Week Saving Challenge. You save the amount of money as it is the week number of the year. So, the first week you save a dollar. The second week you save two dollars. Every week you add the next amount up to the end of the year. The 52nd week you add 52 dollars. By the end of the year you have $1378. Or do it backwards, gets you to the same

We were all upset during the government shutdown that the National Parks were closed and it was right to be upset. But a new report from Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn on National Parks wasting money is even more upsetting.  Many parks are in need of repair with a maintenance backlog of $2 billion.

One-hundred-dollar bills are about to get quite the colorful face-lift.

It looks like back to school costs are going to be higher this year. According to Huntington Bank’s ‘Back Pack Index’, parents can expect to pay 25 percent more this year than last. This is largest increase in the index’s six-year history.

New plastic based Canadian money was introduced in November of 2011 and has now begun circulating around the country, and something seems strange about the new currency. Some Canadians seems to think it smells exactly like Canadian maple syrup. A newspaper tested the $100 bills by sniffing them and the consensus was they smell like syrup.

Get ready to throw away all those ratty old Benjamins that are just laying around your house—the newly designed $100 bill will be going into circulation in October.
