Spend Less Than You Make, a Common Sense Rule that America has Forgotten, According to a New Personal Finance Book

California (Vocus) November 12, 2010

How many people spend every raise they get? How many live at or above their means, spending more than they make? In the United States, about half of all families live at or above their means. The key to turning family finances around is living below your means. Making the change is an essential step to controlling personal finances in a tough economy, says Ted Hunter, author of Money Smart, a new book that guides the reader to financial freedom.

Living below your means simply means living on less money than comes in each month and saving any extra money earned through a pay increase or bonus instead of spending it on an increased standard of living. The difference can be dramatic, especially for those currently in debt. Hunter points out that financial success is not dependent on a high income, but comes from the smart use of any income. Money Smart contains nine Money Rules and Live Below Your Means is one of them. Living below your means is a vital step towards chipping away at any debt and increasing one’s ability to save money. When this rule is incorporated into the reader’s life their financial pressures decrease, and a growing sense of accomplishment and of being in control generate positive momentum towards creating financial security. “Live below your means,” states Hunter, “Almost every financially successful person does.”

Combining Hunter’s 60 years of experience and a common sense approach, Money Smart shows readers that they are capable of managing their money better than anyone else. Presenting easy-to-use tools and a clear list of rules to follow, Money Smart teaches readers to make solid, educated decisions so they can effectively manage their money and create financial freedom.

Money Smart can be purchased online at http://www.MoneySmartOnline.com and Amazon.com.

California (Vocus) November 9, 2010

Money Smart author, Ted Hunter asks, “What are your hopes and dreams, your goals and desires?” Perhaps an unexpected question to find in a new book about achieving financial freedom. Not so, claims Hunter–in fact, it is probably the most important question to answer if the reader truly wants to reach their money goals. What matters most? Is it spending time with family and friends? Traveling the world? Owning a great home? Hunter states that making the mistake of spending money on low priority whims, trading away the things that matter most, is a not a trade worth making.

Money Smart acknowledges, that yes, identifying hopes and dreams can be difficult, but also points out that someone is unlikely to get the things they wish for unless they first identify them. Hunter explains that “every expenditure you make is a trade that requires you to give up something else and it’s critical to become consciously aware of the trades you are making.” Hunter contends that “only after you have clearly identified what it is you want from your life can you make good decisions regarding money and the role you want it to play in your life.” Money Smart and http://www.moneysmartonline.com provide a practical goal-focused approach and easy-to-use worksheets to help readers achieve those hopes and dreams.

MoneyNing.com Offers Insight on Saving Money with Cost of Living at its Highest Since 2009










Irvine, CA (PRWEB) March 27, 2011 –

Personal finance blog MoneyNing.com offers strategies for saving money in its recent post entitled Five of the Worst Ways to Save Money. The post discusses common costly mistakes consumers make in trying to shore up their finances http://moneyning.com/.

Bloomberg.com recently featured an article detailing the specifics of a 0.5% rise in February on the cost of living. It went on to explain that over the past twelve months, consumer prices have risen 2.1%, putting the increase at its highest since June of 2009. The article went on to explain that the cost of energy has risen 3.4%, food prices have increased 0.6% and many healthcare-related expenses rose 0.4%.

Although consumers may be tempted to consider saving money by cutting back on their healthcare costs, this is a money-savings no-no according to personal-finance site MoneyNing.com. A recent post on the money management blog explained that delaying regular medical and dental care can result in costly long-term consequences.

The post, entitled Five of the Worst Ways to Save Money, stated that, “If you are without health and dental insurance…be proactive and look for community resources that can help you get the care you need. In many areas, dialing 2-1-1 can get you free assistance in finding these resources.”

Other missteps commonly made by consumers looking to stretch their limited dollars, according to the MoneyNing.com post, include purchasing cheap items that don’t last and neglecting to maintain our homes and vehicles.
