October 7th, 2009 admin No Comments »

There are several of us that are going through these tough times.  The economy is doing lousy, jobs are getting cut, and unfortunately a ton of us are loosing our jobs or are getting laid off.  If this seems like your situation, you’re not alone.  When we find out that we are loosing our job if it’s permanent or semi-permanent it is still hard to hear.  We think how we’re going to provide for our families, our self, and how we’re going to get by.

Search – If you’re unsure of when you’re going to get your job back, take a few weeks to get everything in order, and then start looking for a new job.  You don’t know if this will happen again, so it’s best to look otherwise.  Find a company that is hiring, and one that is doing well, well enough to not lay you off.

Coupons – Coupons are a great way to save money.  If you have the opportunity to use a coupon use it!  You can find coupons for your groceries, oil changes, restaurants, and even clothes shopping.  If you do the research, you will be able to find it!  For now, check out buxr.com.

How to Save Money While Grocery Shopping

October 6th, 2009 admin No Comments »

Shop Around

Many consumers spend more than they have to simply because they choose not to shop at a variety of stores, or look at ads in the newspaper. The simple fact is that your favorite grocery store is not always going to have everything you want on sale every week. However, that’s okay! Most Americans live in areas that have several grocery stores, pharmacies, and large stores such as target and Wal-Mart. A great way to save money is to look at each store’s ad on a weekly basis. Recently I found Store A near my home selling a frozen pizza for $6 while Store B down the street was selling the same frozen pizza for $3.75. However, Store B had 24 packs of water on sale for $2 while Store A had them for $4.50. So, it is very important to know where to buy certain goods. By

Fort Worth Foreclosure Homes for Sale Still Rising

October 6th, 2009 admin No Comments »

The number of Fort Worth foreclosure homes for sale is still rising largely because of delayed foreclosure postings. According to an Addison-based real estate research company, the increase in foreclosure postings in September included a lot of properties that should have been included in foreclosure listings in previous months.

Researchers said that the filing of loan modification applications was able to delay foreclosure proceedings on many housing units, but subsequent rejection or failure to modify the loans ultimately put the housing units into the foreclosure process.

Based on data from the research firm, nearly 6,000 foreclosed houses in the Fort Worth-Dallas metro area will be auctioned off in October.
