Credit Card Rewards Declining in 2011? Protect Your Points!
**Today’s guest post is contributed by CreditShout**. There may be some strange shifts taking place in the world of rewards credit cards this year. Many financial experts and personal finance bloggers believe we’ll be seeing cutbacks in the quality and quantity of rewards from some of the major rewards credit cards this year. Big banks stand to lose billions of dollars in fees with the Durbin Interchange Amendment. Although the amendment doesn’t apply to credit cards, credit card issuers need to make up the money someplace

5 Financial Goals & New Year’s Resolutions You Can Actually Keep
**Today’s guest post is contributed by Money Crashers **. New Year’s resolutions are notorious for being declared at the beginning of the year and dropped or forgotten by February. Along with losing weight, one of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to turn around your finances and grow wealth. I’m not a big fan of the term “resolution” to begin with. I prefer to think of them as New Year’s “goals,” because they are what we work towards throughout the year. Therefore, even if I haven’t made big strides toward a goal early in the year, I can still catch up and accomplish it by December

How Do You Spend Money? Your Spending Personality Type
**Today’s guest post is contributed by LearnVest **. It’s a natural impulse to compare ourselves to others (Is her computer faster? Does her salad have more croutons? Does she, uh, make more money than we do?) Over and over, readers will ask not just, “How am I doing?” but, “How am I doing compared to everyone else?” They want to know if they have more or less money saved up than other people their age, how their spending habits compare, and whether they are bigger spenders or savers than other people. So, we answer

Are You Overspending To Save Money?
**Today’s guest post is contributed by LearnVest **. With every news channel reporting that shoppers spent $45 billion this past Black Friday alone, it is more than clear that the power of a well-publicized deal gets Americans to spend some serious cash! This is seemingly great news for the economy, but what has actually changed for shoppers over this past year? The employment rate isn’t up, nor is the housing market—so why is spending this holiday season on the rise? Do Americans actually have more money to spend, or are they just overspending and racking up debt? Early Bird Bargains. Case in point: We ventured to the local GAP store at 6am on Black Friday with our friend Susan.

Cash, Points, or Miles: Which Rewards Credit Card is King?
**Today’s guest post is contributed by Dough Roller **. Whenever you’re presented with credit card offers, whether through the mail or online, there is always a selling point from the issuer. Some cards reward points for every purchase that can later be redeemed for merchandise while others can hook consumers via travel rewards and free flights around the world. However, there’s always been, and will always be only one type of credit card that outperforms all others, and that’s the cash back credit card. Mechanics Behind Rewards Cards The mathematics on why cash back credit cards are a better value for consumers is easy to understand. You see, credit card issuers offer rewards on credit cards by creating their own conversion rate
