Investing a Windfall (and Making Up for a Late Start)

August 27th, 2011 Amber Cook No Comments »

A reader that I’ll call Diane recently wrote in with a question about investing a windfall. She says:

I am getting some extra money — about $10k — and I have no idea what to do with it.

I am 57 years old and have no debt. I have about $9k in my company’s 401(k), and that is my only savings right now. I also purchased a house about three months ago.

The problem is that I have no knowledge on how to invest, but I do have a couple of people in my life with some understanding of investing.

Do you have any suggestions, or could you give me some resources that could help me make this decision?

This is an excellent question, and there are actually several issues here.

For starters, I’m not sure if that “no debt” statement means that she has no debt period, or that she has no consumer debt, but perhaps has a mortgage associated with the recent home purchase. The lack of h

August 27th, 2011 Sara Turner No Comments »


If you look at the most stressful events in a person’s life, buying a home is on the top ten list. After all, it’s a big decision – both emotionally and financially. Many home buyers go through an anxious period after they’ve arranged for their mortgage and get ready to move into their new home. Knowing you’ll get a pocketful of cash would sure help, wouldn’t it?

How to Rack Up Airline Miles

August 27th, 2011 Ryan Parker No Comments »

It seems as though airlines are doing every little thing they can lately to tack on fees (American Airlines, for example, now charges $8 for a blanket and neck pillow) while simultaneously curtailing service (removing a number of lavatories to make room for more seating). Somewhat paradoxically however, airlines also love to offer incentives for flying with them. The most common among these incentives are of course frequent flier programs, in which points accumulated through travel and other purchases can be applied as airfare discounts and upgrades.

Unfortunately, there’s not much we can do about $8 blankets or the lack of sufficient lavatories. W

Your Eyeballs Shouldn’t Be So Expensive

August 27th, 2011 Amber Cook No Comments »

As the cliche goes, your health is the most important thing you can have. And as someone who spends a lot of time looking at stuff, eyesight is definitely important to me. I suppose it’s important to you, too. Oh heck, it’s important to all of us. Everyone’s a winner!

I recently lost a bunch of weight- 50 pounds worth to be exact. As a glasses wearer my entire life, I was starting to wonder whether life would be better wearing contacts instead of glasses. Would the ladies throw themselves at me? Would my sexiness continue to make the dudes jealous? There was only one way to find out. A few months ago, I took the plunge and made my first of what would be many eye appointments.

The Process

It all started with a phone call to the eye place (like I’m going to type out optometrist more than once) and a beginning $85 eye check. They too

Stupid Money

August 27th, 2011 Amber Cook No Comments »

I’m currently engrossed in Peter Elkind’s entertaining 2010 book Rough Justice: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer. It’s a laugh-filled, fast-paced look at the life of the former New York attorney general and governor, whose swift rise to the top job in Albany was followed by an even swifter slalom out of elected office, after bombshell disclosures the “Luv Gov” had frolicked with ladies of the night.

Though the world of finance is laced through and through this story, one of the book’s particularly catchy references to cash snared my eye and led me to make a mental note — once I’d stopped chortling. The New York City business through which “Client No. 9″ (Spitzer) proc
