How often do you try to do more than one thing at once? For me, it's almost every time I sit down in front of my computer. I have music going on in the background, perhaps watching a review or video on youtube, while trying to write an article and every so often I'm glancing over at...

Savings accounts and investments in shares are two very different financial products and to compare them and choose the option which is best for you, you need to first be clear about what you need from your finances. A savings account does not need to replace investments in shares, nor should your investments in shares be your only savings;...

"Never borrow money to pay for something that goes down in value." Those are the words or personal finance advice from Seth Godin, one of the greatest marketers of our time.

Some would argue that this book laid the foundation for the personal finance movement as we know it and was the first of it's kind. Written in a simple to...

I see life as the ability to accomplish anything you want, with very few exceptions. I could become the president, I could go be an astronaut, I could go make a billion dollars, heck I could even become a woman if I wanted (just checking if you're still reading ;) ). I'm a believer in the 10,000...
