Motley Fool stock picks

I’ve been writing about my experiences with Motley Fool Premium and over the past several months we’ve discussed the basics of using Motley Fool Premium services. A lot of people write about companies like Fool.com, discussing what happened when they took the investment advice of the company. I’ve done my own version of this, and others do too. One blogger posted about her experiences investing in a company called Zoom Video on a Fool.com tip … [Read more...]

Hierarchy of Savings - What Should Come First?

It can be difficult to establish a hierarchy of savings. What should come first when you are paying yourself?

Saving For Later

June 19, 2009 By Megan Smith

I am officially impressed by J. Money.  One of his goals each year is to max out his 401(k) and for varying reasons which he describes, this meant that he had 90% of his last paycheck taken out.  90%!  That seems like crazy talk.  But I'm definitely impressed.  Nice work, J.
