10 Financial Secrets of Happy Moms

I've been known to be a bit of a complainer about my family's financial situation.

With my husband out of work and my freelance income in constant flux, my household exists in a permanent state of financial anxiety.

At least we're in good company: it seems like all our friends are in similar straits, though some folks just seem to have a can-do attitude about money management. We're all scrimping and saving, but not everyone has the desperate, fearful attitude that marks my interactions with the cost of living.

One thing I have done to reduce anxiety a bit is to ramp up my bargain shopping.

In a outlandish move, President Barack Obama enlisted Richard Cordray (someone just informed me that it WAS NOT Rob Corddry of the Daily Show, so perhaps it wasn't an outlandish move on the President's part after all...) as the new Head of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Wednesday January 4, 2011. I'm not exactly sure what a Head of Consumer Financial Protection (a lilting "HCFP" acronym) does, besides punish the bad bankers and financial players, but I do know what I want him to do for me personally.

Big Savings for Consumers as Credit Card Companies Feel the Holiday Spirit

The holidays are rapidly approaching and not only does that mean spending time with family and leaving milk and cookies out for Santa, but, for many of us, it also creates angst over budgeting and making ends meet. The holiday season is the biggest retail period of the year, and, according to American Express, Americans will spend an average of $831 on gifts this year--17% more than in 2010.

Luckily, there are a number of ways for the savviest consumers to save, and, for those with excellent credit, the right credit card can help you save up to $500.

Support Main Street AND Save Money

We've all heard that if we want to help change our broken financial system we need to support Main Street, NOT Wall Street.

They say we need to put our money where our mouth is by buying our goods and services from the local businesses that are the nuts and bolts of our American economy.
