It’s not very often that you hear the words "New and Improved" when it comes to financial news. Recently, however, things have been a little different. Two changes – one that makes it easier to qualify for the Making Home Affordable plan, and the other, which will make paying back student loans a little more bearable – may relieve some of that financial stress we’ve all been feeling lately. 

Click here to read more about the Making Home Affordable plan and other ways to feel less strapped for cash.

All my friends who are over 50, I tell them to join AARP for discounts and none of them will!   I love to look for discounts! 

Simple times have always been the happiness in my life.  Watch your pennies and your dollars will take care of themselves my father always said!

My girlfriend who is going through a divorce was worried today about all the money she lost in the marriage. It made me think, a few months ago when I was at my doctors office I heard the word cancer I’m only 47!

Anyway I had alot of thoughts go through my head and money was never one of them.  I love my life today, I don’t shop as much as I like but now I steal AARP magazines from my doctor (he knows)  and cut out important articles and pass then around!  I volunteer with a mentoring program and I tell my son and husband I love them every day!
