When we posted that Hidden Taxes You And I Pay, well, we thought it covered the monthly communications bill from FiOS.Now, that our one convenient monthly bill includes Internet, TV, landline and three cell phones, it exceeds the rent we paid in 1977 on our Mary Street apartment in Belleville, N.J. No wonder people are afraid of money. Who can make sense out of this?Here are some of the taxes we

You've probably heard this quaint financial term bandied about lately, so here's where you start to learn what it's all about.A dead cat bounce is a term used by traders to describe a pattern wherein a moderate rise in the price of a stock follows a spectacular fall, with the connotation that the rise does not indicate improving circumstances. It is derived from the notion that "even a dead cat

Now that the Canadian dollar has gotten a jump on the U.S. dollar, things have changed. (In case you missed it, the looney hit a record high Wednesday at a U.S. dollar level of C$0.9419, slightly higher than its previous record high against the dollar of C$0.9422 on Aug. 21, 1957.)What happens to Canadian employees of US companies paid in Canadian dollars at a different rate (to compensate for

Lesson From the California Wildfires FoxbusinessByGail BucknerIn case you didn’t notice, last month was “National Preparedness Month.” The Red Cross and other emergency and governmental organizations ran a major campaign urging us to “Be Red Cross Ready” just in case.This isn’t complicated or expensive. It involves 1) assembling a disaster supplies kit, 2) making a plan, and 3) being informed.

The new U. S. five-dollar bill is going to be all fancy-schmancy with a giant purple 5 and Abe Lincoln nearly smilling. So, the fact is, it can no longer be called a fin. We've got to come up with a new name for it. The Canadian dollar, now an equal, has a loon (a bird, as in, crazy as a loon) on it. And the Canadian dollar is called a loon or loonie. And their two-dollar coin is called a Toonie

Addresses the fear of what to do with money if you manage to accumulate any, in an often humorous way, of course, in the belief that shredding holes in financial jargon and snarky asides are the best way to work through a personal currency crunch.

We'd all like to know the answer to that. If you're asking then you probably don't have enough set aside. So, you need more. Depending on when you plan to retire, you have to sock away as much money until then as you can.The big question is can you lay off the extra purchases and credit card debt today to have those few bucks to set aside so they'll grow and be there for you when you are retired

Ever wake up in the middle of the night with the solution to all your financial worries?

They are frozen in fear because they

I've been busy the past few months editing the above book.The book is SO funny I nearly split my gut.You wouldn't know it but that Allen Grenespan sure can tell a joke.You should hear his mother-in-law jokes. What a howl.You will have to wait til the book comes out. I bet Carlin, George, is shaking in his boots!Copyright © 2007 by Anthony Buccino, all rights reserved. Content may not be used for

It's simple. I'm afraid of money. Yeah. that's right. I don't know what to do with the money I have so that it will be enough to carry me through when I get old. In the early 1970s New York State began its lottery. The top prize was about $1,000,000. Paid as an annuity, that was about $50,000 a year before taxes, which left about $35,000.So if you won that lottery 35 years ago and collected on it

Nobody's expecting you to become Alan Greenspan overnight. But you should know something about how investing money works. Especially if you are going to be investing your money. Investing is for-keeps.RICH DAD POOR DAD by Robet T. Kyosaki with Sharon LechterTHINK & GROW RICH by Napoleon Hill are two paperback books on money you can pick up for about $15. So, pick them up and get started on

When it comes to your money you got to think first before you do anything with it. You wouldn't put your sun-porch on the north side of the house, would you? So, if you don't learn anything else about what do do with your money remember to think it through before you do it. If a voice inside your head tells you not to do it, listen to that voice.Copyright © 2007 by Anthony Buccino, all rights
