Why should I care about my finances?

Ummm ok.... well why shouldn't you? I am starting this blog, because all I read in the news these days is about what kind of dire financial situation our country is in. You know like how people everywhere are losing their homes, and jobs, and how the United States of America has a "high risk" credit rating. People look at their 401ks and wonder how they are going to retire. Now there is talk of a double recession... Whaaaa....?

Well this blog is for those who want to learn about saving for retirement, or saving enough money so they don't have to finance a car (crazy right?) Saving for emergencies or for a vacation. This blog is also for people that want to know the difference between a traditional IRA and a Roth, or maybe how the stock market really works, or what and IPO is? Do you own a business and have questions about tax planning? How about getting out of debt?

Think you're too old or too young to think about this stuff? Well you're not. Send me your questions and I may know the answer or I may not, but I'll do my best to get you the best information I can.
