What if energy costs keep rising?

From Wise Bread - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 9:15 am ET

By Philip BrewerI don't know if energy costs will keep rising. Nobody does. Even with recent growth in China, India, and elsewhere, the US still consumes 25% of the oil produced world-wide, so a severe recession in the US could easily cut total demand enough to bring the price down. Recession or not, I think the medium-term trend in energy costs is up. Just in case I'm right, you ought to have plan for that. I've written before about planning for expensive fuel. I emphasized that you should have a contingency plan either to take money from other budget categories to ... (more)

Roadmap To A Better Financial Health (2 clicks)

From Moolanomy - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 9:00 am ET

In the past few years, Americans average savings rate has declined precipitously — in fact the current savings rate is practically zero. This means that as a society, we are not saving any money. Worse, we have a habit of borrowing to fuel our consumption. We are spending more than we earn, and that’s a recipe for financial disaster. In this article I’d like to present a potential road map to restore your financial health. Recognizing the problem and having the determination to fix it I believe self-awareness is an important first step in any endeavor. Personal ... (more)

April 2008 Recap

From My Open Wallet - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 9:00 am ET

Okay, my net worth at the end of April was $372,870, up from $357,891 at the end of March for a 4.2% increase. The main factor driving last month's change was my 401k bouncing back after a few really dismal months. I also managed to save some cash, and I was paid back for a fairly large expense that I'd covered for a friend-- I knew I'd get that money back but I hadn't counted the accounts receivable as an asset, so last month's net worth was sort of artificially low.As for April expenses, here's some categories of note:Dining: $641, ...
