One of the questions I am occasionally asked goes something like this:
“How can I get some fast cash?”
For most people, the answers are less than pleasant. Shannon Christman at SavingAdvice.com offers these things you can do to rustle some fast cash (usually between $100 - $500):
Yard sale.
Online auction.
Pawn shop.
Salvage (scrap metal, cans, etc.).
Loan from friends […]
This tip is a biggie: Pay off consumer debt. (Especially credit cards.)
Debt costs you money. Sometimes thousands of dollars. The interest charges don’t bring you anything tangible — or even tangible — in terms of benefits. All interest from debt represents is money you pay to get someone else rich. My guest post on […]
This personal finance tip comes from Jen over at Everyday Networker:
Understand the difference between a want and a need. Most things you think you need…you don’t!

Over the weekend, I wrote about how my credit card company is trying to get me to refinance my home with them, and take out some cash. For me, this is an obviously foolhardy move. Such offers usually go straight through the shredder.
But Sean left a comment that I feel is very pertinent to the […]
Not too long ago, Yielding Wealth ran a contest in which readers submitted questions to Linda Leitz. Leitz is the author of the book We Need to Talk: Money & Kids After Divorce. Throughout the rest of the month, I will be posting her answers to the four best (and most common) questions I received.

If you haven’t been reading those notices that come in your credit card statement, or if you haven’t looked on your statement for your credit card interest rate, you may be in for a rather unpleasant surprise.
Some credit card companies (Discover notable among them) are in the habit of periodically checking your credit report. They […]
With the news that 2 million foreclosures are expected by 2009, many people are wondering if their adjustable rate mortgages will come back to haunt them when the mortgage interest rate reset takes place. One of the questions I was recently asked was this:
