Financial Tip of the Week.....

A good way to stay on track with your bills is to write it down in your check register. For those of you with bank accounts there is a blue check register that I know many of you can't find it or it's consumed with dust :). But dusty or not when you receive your paycheck enter in the deposit of your payroll, then before you spend any money write down all the bills that you need to pay out of that check.


Example:

Balance 200
Deposit Payroll 1500 bal 1700
Mortgage/Rent 800 bal 900
Comed 45 bal 855
AT&T 100 bal 755

you get the point but now as you see the balance that you have available to spend after you pay your bills is $755.00 That is how you want to see your register. If you follow this tip I guaranty you will see an improvement on how you spend and budget. Taking small steps today can lead to a better way of life for the future. As always strive to be better and do better....till next time...

So I had a table with the bank name, we had some giveaways like popular character stickers for the kids, some fake tattoos and eco friendly bags. My company was the only bank there but the other businesses were Tutoring Services at least 5 - 6 different ones. W...

The Tax Daughter : Viola Duvall Stewart (My Legacy) : Viola D. Stewart, 91, civil-rights pioneer Today a friend of mine Khalid Scott is helping spread the word about my Grandmothers Contribution to the Teachers of the South as well as an unknown Black History Fact! To me she was Grandmother Dear a place of safe haven and book of knowledge. She loved to share her stories of history and change with her grandchildren. She wanted us to understand how important Education was and how knowledge is Power. I could say so many things about her but the message today is to spread the word how she risked her life to fight for what was right, which at that time was equal pay for African American Teachers in South Carolina.Please read her story and click on the link under the Congressional Picture which gives the details of the case.
