Filing My Tax Return Online or Use a Tax Preparation Service?

I’ve asked this question a few times, and depending on the individual, I’ve received a different answer. Those who knew more about taxes said filing my tax return online is the way to go. A few others who may not have known much about taxes, but were turned off by high tax preparer fees, agreed with them.

Others who doubted their ability to file taxes online said they would use a professional tax preparer. Some others said that a family member would prepare their taxes for them. They didn’t want the hassle and possible liability of an incorrect return.

Most all agreed and said that filing my tax return online made more sense. This method of filing your taxes has become View full post…

Anyone who has or intends to build a website will need to setup web hosting. There are so many hosting companies today, it’s hard to pick the right one. If I had to pick the two most important issues to consider when selecting a hosting provider, it would be tech support and website speed.

5 Steps to Repair Bad Credit

5 Steps to Repair Bad Credit

5 Ways to Repair Bad Credit Yourself

The very first step you need to take to repair bad credit, is to focus on paying all of your bills on time. At the same time, begin reducing credit cards and other loans you may have. Using certain credit building tools may help too.

It’s a lot tougher to repair your bad credit than it is starting to establish new credit. You’re now in a more difficult position of trying to convince credit card issuers and other lenders that you can be an acceptable credit risk.

Even though you’ve messed up before and got behind on your payments, you have to convince them that you will do everything in your power to change your ways.

10 Personal Money Management Concepts High Schools Should Teach

Personal money management topics are highly neglected in the school system and I believe this is something we all should be very concerned about. Our children grow up with virtually no concept of personal money management, the importance of money, or what to do with it when they have it.

It’s a mistake to rely only on parents to teach their children these things because many parents don’t practice good personal money management themselves. It’s a vicious cycle and it needs to be broken.

An Important Financial Conversation

An Important Financial Conversation

How to break through the financial conversation barriers with your partner

(BPT) – For most people, personal finances are a private matter. When you are in a relationship, it can be difficult to discuss this typically taboo subject of a financial conversation. Whether you have been married for years or are just beginning to date, fear of your partner judging your financial choices (big or small) runs deep.

Money challenges can create stress and cause walls to form in a relationship. Financial conflicts have even worse repercussions. Tackling the topic head-on can lead to a deeper understanding of each other’s financial history, emotions and goals for the future.
