There is only one thing nearer and dearer to a monkey than the golden banana . . . and that is cold, hard, cash. There is a reason they call it monkey business, after all. Money Monkey's areas of interest include:
The mysterious nature of money
Money doesn't sleep! It just rests sometimes. It is always recommended to squirrel away some rainy day money, but beyond that, neglected money will slowly disappear as surely as a snowman on a warm, sunny day
Pearls of Financial Wisdom
adding 15% to all estimates (financial, time, etc.) is veritably the right amount of grease that allows life's gears to turn more smoothly
Rainy day money prevents rainy day tears
Plan realistically, execute precisely, and . . . add 15%!
Banks (and the government) think they own your money; they are incorrect
Your savings should resemble a basket of lovely and varied gems. Don't just invest in one big diamond . . . it may be spirited away, then . . . you cry
Always look for the best VALUE when making purchases. If you look for the absolute cheapest option, it will disappoint you in endless ways, and if you heap money needlessly on your choice, it can never live up to expectations. Find the sweet spot . . . the VALUE spot . . .therein lies your happiness at the marketplace.
