man wallet 300x137 Are women to blame for men in debt?   Dedicated

Recent studies suggest that a scarcity of women can actually cause men’s finances to suffer. The study involved showing men newspaper articles about the ratio of women to men in an area and then asking them to respond regarding how much they would borrow on credit cards and save each month. Surprisingly, the study revealed a correlation, as men in a town with fewer women reported a tendency to borrow or spend more and put less into savings accounts. Real-life statistics also seem to confirm these findings.

Sale Shopping 199x300 Smart January shopping   DedicatedAlmost as memorable as the excitement of waking up on Christmas morning is the familiar feeling of walking through your front door a few days later, exhausted after emptying out bags full of clothes that either don’t fit, or you wouldn’t even consider wearing to bed. Intrinsic to Christmas is the January shopping that ensues.

Christmastime consumers are easy targets for retailers when it comes to the January sales. It’s a time of feeling generous, festive, indulgent, vulnerable and hungover: a combination that hardly makes for wise and rational decision making. This is the time that savings accounts surrender to sales, aka the post-Christmas binge.

kids and money kidworth 273x300 A better Christmas gift for kids   Dedicated

Make a gift through Kidworth this Christmas.

As a kid, I loved discovering a mound of presents choking the tree on Christmas  morning. But I can’t help but wonder, now that I’m familiar with the website Kidworth, if some of those gifts could have been given as investments.

Did you know that the average child, according to Kidworth founder Rudy DeFelice, comes across $25,000-$30,000 in gifts by the time they are 18? And yet, how many 18-year-olds do you know that have more than a few bucks to their name?

kids and money kidworth 273x300 New savings trick for kids on Kidworth   Dedicated

Earn $10 for joining Kidworth!

With a baby on the way, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to raise my kid so that she is savvy with money. How do I show her to save money, to live frugally, and to make savvy spending decisions? When should we first give her an allowance? How do I instill in her the pride I take in donating money to help others?

Enter Kidworth, a new website founded by a father who was tired of going to kids’ birthday parties and witnessing hundreds of dollars wasted on “plastic junk.”

So this father, Rudy DeFelice, did some research and discovered the average kid comes across $25,000-$30,000 in gifts by the time they are 18. Holy *$(%*#! How many 18-year-olds do you know that have more than a few bucks to their name?

“The way we treat kids reinfornces mindless consumption,” Rudy told me. He wanted a way to counter balance that consumerist message. He wanted a way to train kids to deal with money that would give kids a better chance.

Kidworth is not about creating more money, but about using resources – gifts, allowance, earnings – in a better way. Parents create an account for their kid, from babies to teenagers, and set up save goals, spend goals, and share goals. Depending on how old the kid is, they can get involved, too.

On a practical level, parents can use Kidworth to send out birthday invitations and holiday cards, using the opportunity to share their kid’s goals. It’s a not-so-subtle way to ask for specific gifts and donations, instead of the aforementioned plastic junk.

When you visit a kid’s page, family and friends can see what kind of progress the kid and what the kid is doing with their allowance, gifts, and earnings. Only first names are used, and no identifying information is shared or asked for. Pages do not show up in search engine results, but parents can share their kids’ pages with whomever they wish.

Kidworth is totally free to use, though sending an egift card costs $2.50 and sending a physical card costs $5. Both fees go to covering credit card processing fees.

If you’re dreading an onslaught of unwanted gifts this holiday season, sign up for Kidworth! The next 100 people to sign up via Kidworth’s Facebook page will earn a $10 credit when they create a goal in their Kidworth account.
