Awhile back, I received a call from a client in distress. A neighbor was claiming that the client’s dog had escaped from the fence, traveled down the street and had bitten him while working in the yard. Matters were made worse by the fact that the neighbor was a surgeon and would be out of work indefinitely. Our client suddenly feared that a lifetime of prudent financial savings and security was about to be swept away at the blink of an eye. Financial catastrophe due to an unforeseen liability is a very real issue that we hear about frequently.

“Individuals who cannot master their emotions are ill-suited to profit from the investment process" - Benjamin Graham. I chose to start with a quote, because it perfectly sums up what this month’s article is about. It sounds overly simplistic that you should not let you emotions drive your investment making decisions, but it is much harder to do when it is your money. I realize that no one, including myself, is ever able to completely separate their emotions from their money. What I hope to do with this article is give you a few tips to help you manage your feelings to allow you to make better investment decisions.

In the current economy, every penny counts. The rising price of gasoline is affecting everyone’s wallet. The surest way you can improve your fuel cost problem is to change your motoring habits. Listed below are 30 effective methods of doing so... no need to buy expensive add-on equipment…just try and incorporate these changes into your driving habits. The savings will add up fast!

ENGINE WARM-UP

1. Avoid prolonged warming up of engine, even on cold mornings - 30 to 45 seconds is enough time.
2. Be sure the automatic choke is disengaged after engine warm up... chokes often get stuck, resulting in bad gas/air mixture.

Spring is a wonderful time of the year when everything just feels brighter, warmer, and more inviting. The sun seems to shine more, flowers are in bloom, and children are out-and-about playing. As the weather warms up, you might want to consider bringing more color in and around your home to welcome the spring season. Although you might find it hard to believe, there are several ways to do this without putting too much of a strain on your monthly budget. Focus on small ways to bring color to each room or area of your home by adding accessories that add visual appeal to your space.

Grocery shopping these days can be a shock to your wallet. Society has us yearning to be healthier, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and maybe even organic produce.

According to the USDA, organic foods are described as: Meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products that come from animals that are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides, sewage sludge, bioengineering, ionizing radiation, or fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients.

Just about every business that wants to succeed has a website. These days, a website can be thrown together in a manner of minutes on any number of "build your own click and drag" websites. On the other hand, a business can spend months developing, creating and fine tuning their site. Your company's website can work for you, against you or simply do nothing at all... which is the same as working against you in my book.

As the web designer for fi-Plan Partners, I talk often with our business owner clients about their website and advise them on ways to make their site more valuable. If you feel like your website isn't working for you, here's my humble, but experienced top five reasons why.

It's your money, it's your life.
