As I make the switch from my winter to spring wardrobe, I found myself with the decision to donate or sell my clothes. Over dinner with my best friend, she told me how she has made hundreds of dollars recently selling clothes on eBay. Now I’ll admit, it has been years since I’ve ventured onto the online marketplace and I remember the selling process being
The eight-day celebration of Passover begins on Monday, April 14. Eight days of remembering the deliverance of the Israelites from the bonds of Egyptian slavery, and the passing over of the ten plagues that afflicted Pharaoh’s subjects. Eight days of eating kosher for Passover food, avoiding products leavened with yeast. Eight days of additional Passover groceries. The items you need for the Seder might include

Help! Money is harming my friendships. Most of my friends and family know I write about money for a living and sometimes I worry that it influences the way people talk around me. Do they feel pressure to justify splurges? To let me know they used a coupon? Do they hide certain purchases from me? Is my frugal lifestyle harming my relationships?
A few years ago, I was “stupid” broke. I say “stupid” because the reason for my lack of funds had nothing to do with serious things, like medical bills or job loss. I was broke because of very bad decisions when it came to saving money. I was contemplating a job change, and considering committing a serious money sin: cashing out a 401(k) just to
Recently, my favorite country radio station asked listeners if they thought you should have to pay your parent(s) to babysit their grandchildren.

But, as a frequent baby sitter for my 4-year-old nephew, I have a different opinion. Should childcare from relatives be free?
Have you ever paid for an app? I haven’t. Almost weekly, I hear friends and colleagues talk about a new app they purchased for $.99, or $2.99 or even $10.99! I refuse to whip out my wallet when there are so many amazing free apps out there – most of them you’ve never heard of. With over 2 million available, how could you catch them
I had a life-changing epiphany the other day: spiral-sliced ham on the bone is the cheapest sandwich meat. And cold cuts are ludicrously expensive. Big stuff, I know. This important financial realization – which will likely save my family hundreds of dollars a year – came to me after I spent $30 plus dollars on cold cuts to impress my in-laws. Why of course we
My best friend has been asked to be a bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding. At first, she was very excited, but now the cost of being a bridesmaid has become overwhelming. As fun as it is to be in a wedding party, it can get pretty expensive…especially if the bride isn’t footing the bill. My friend’s cousin is getting married in a very lavish manner.
I am middle aged and have never used an ATM. Never wanted to, never felt the need to hit the magic machine that, for a few coded numbers, will hand me my hard-earned money any time I want it. I’m not bashing bank technology; there are times when those extra dollars at two in the morning was necessary, and a credit or debit card was
I’ve started to save a lot of money by making coffee at home and never realized the huge range of price in homemade coffee. From $18 per pound for fair trade coffee beans from Ethiopia to $2.50 per pound for generic label coffee from the grocery store. How much you spend – or save – on coffee says a lot about you. How much do you spend
When I was younger, my parents would always host a family Easter egg hunt. I have fond memories of searching for eggs with my cousins and siblings. We haven’t had an Easter egg hunt in years because we’ve all gotten older. This year, I’m planning one for my nephew and am hoping to make it fun for the whole family! Here are 5 ideas to
