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.

Holidays
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.

Personal Finance
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.
