Question:
I am embarrassed to admit that despite receiving my BS in Finance, I can hardly handle my personal finances. Does anyone know of any online resources that can offer me some help? I really need to get on track as far as budgeting and saving, and eventually with investing and my 401(k). I've been out of school since May 2005, and working full-time for a year and half and am having a difficult time transitioning. Any advice or other resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Answer:
Use Quicken Deluxe to track your finances and investments. If you know what you are spending and what it is for you might decide that you can control your spending. I have also found it helpful to save 10% to 15% of my annual income and treat that savings as an expense in my budget.
Fool.com has been a big help to me.
These Yahoo links have some good advice.
