15 Money Moves for Hard Times
15 Money Moves for Hard Times - While economists debate whether the country is in a recession, consumers are being buffeted by skyrocketing prices, growing debt, layoffs, the subprime lending squeeze and a stock market roller coaster. While you may not be able to control the price of oil or the prime rate, there are some simple things you can do to shore up your finances, safeguard your future and ride out whatever the economy throws at you.
Some Great Consumer Resources
Today, with so many of us looking for ways to get the most value for our dollar, I thought I'd take this opportunity to share some great websites for consumers. I know there are many others out there, so if you have a favorite you'd like to share, please email it to me and I'll include it in my next Pook's E-News.
