Flexible Spending Accounts Provide Free Money. Why Pass It Up?

The relentless rise of health care costs can really put a strain on your household budget.  Even with an insurance plan, health care expenses can add up when you consider most people still have to pay deductibles, copayments and other items not covered by insurance.

A great way to offset these rising costs is through the use of flexible spending accounts (or FSAs).  FSAs are employer-sponsored accounts that allow employees to

Dear Diary: How I Fixed My Water Heater Without a Plumber and Saved $400

Recently the Honeybee alerted me to the fact that our hot water heater was making popping and cracking sounds that she had never heard before.

No, I’m Not Cutting Up My Credit Cards! (Maybe You Shouldn’t Either.)

There has been a lot negative publicity about credit card usage in the personal finance blogosphere recently.

My friend and proprietor of Debt Free Adventure, Matt Jabs, is not a fan of plastic and he is currently waging a war against credit cards and the companies that distribute them.

A couple of weeks ago Matt specifically asked those of us who take advantage of credit card rewards programs to rethink our returns

Quick Tip: The Easiest Money You’ll Ever Make

Yesterday the Honeybee and I got another dividend rewards check from our credit card company – this time for $247.10.  I love it when those checks come in, as we use the money to treat ourselves to a nice dinner, night on the town, or other fun activity.

We get these checks because we
