Enjoying the finer things in life often means spending money but a recent survey conducted by American Express found that a surprising number of people rate finances as a top concern and have questions about how to manage their money. Young people especially are having trouble, with 79% saying they feel overwhelmed by their current financial situation and more than half reporting they're still at least somewhat dependent on their parents or other family members to help pay bills. How do your finances stack up?

I would use this to replace all the shrubs that died during the winter and plant tons of flowers and mulch the entire area.

How to save for retirement starting at age 40

I really don't think we'll get to retire.

I don't own credit cards. The only debt I have is my home. In about 16 months my home will be payed off. I usually buy used cars with cash. However; I found a new car that I loved. When I tried to get it on credit, I was told that I was being refused because I didn't have enough history on my credit report. Can somebody tell me how this makes sense?
