The Debate Between Debit Cards and Credit Cards

More than half of all card transactions are now being paid with debit cards rather than credit cards, according to the Nilson Report. The debate between debit cards and credit cards continues on. Many people made the switch to debit cards in an effort to avoid racking up too much debt and to help manage their budget more efficiently. The problem with this theory is the costly expense of overdraft fees if you mistakenly overdraw your account – and the fact that you lose out on many benefits by not using credit cards.

Promises, Promises (To Yourself)

Connie writes in with a great question whose answer got far too long for the Mailbag: My biggest problem with money is that I lie to myself. I keep telling myself everything is going good and at first it is. Then I start slowly falling back into old habits but I keep telling myself everything is good. Eventually, everything is worse than before but I still keep saying everything is good, and then I’ve racked up thousands of dollars on the credit cards again. I don’t know what to do anymore. I think that lying to ourselves is something we… Read the whole article...

5 Things To Know Before You Buy An Extended Warranty

It is getting harder and harder to find a product that does not offer an extended warranty these days. It seems like every store now offers some sort warranty on some of their merchandises. For $3, $8, or $40, you can get an extra one, two, or more years warranty. And the pitch usually goes like this: “things usually break after the factory warranty runs out, with the extended warranty, you can bring it back and we’ll take care of you.” But, is it a good idea to spend extra money for the extended warranty?

Should You Hire a Financial Adviser?

As you start to build up your net worth, the question of whether or not you should hire a financial adviser becomes more important. However, the answer is not a simple yes or no. Some people do quite well without a financial adviser, some people need one, and on rare occasions, some wish they never had one. Even though I’m a financial adviser, I don’t believe that everyone should hire a financial adviser.

Bear with me for a second as I go down a bit of a strange road. I’ll admit it. I’m not a good housekeeper,… Read the whole article...
