spending

Why are New Yorkers so terrible with money?

Halloween--one of my favorite holidays. No presents to buy and it's fun had by all. A time to dress up for a day and become someone else. But, with the Halloween season comes the bill for costumes and decorations--well, unless you make homemade costumes and decoration, but even so, you still have to buy the supplies, right? How much are planning on spending this year on Halloween festivities?

America's Research Group found that 33 percent of people polled in its survey are taking fewer trips to the store as the price of gas continues to soar.

Unlike other non-federal U.S. holidays, like Valentine's Day and Halloween, St. Patrick's Day isn't quite the money maker--but, the amount of money being spent on the St. Patrick's Day celebration is predicted to increase this year.

Leave it to technology to come up with a way to try to prevent us from spending too much (I wonder how much the technology cost, but that's a subject for another day).  Now, there are wallets that are designed to do just that!
