Credit Card Pay-off Tip #4:
Pay more than the minimum every month.
47% of people with credit card balances make ONLY the minimum payment each month. At that rate, it'll take YEARS to pay off those debts!
So start out small and pay an extra $10 to each card. Once you have one card paid off, then pay even MORE to the next card. And so on. You'll be debt-free in no time!

Child Savings AccountsWhen opening a savings account for your child, make sure their Social Security number is used as the account's tax identification number. That way, as long as your child is under age 14, interest earned will be taxed at your child's lower tax rate, not at your tax rate. This rule holds true as long as your child earns less than $1,300 a year in interest. |
