How Short Term Goals Make Long Term Results: eFIPO shows how saving just for twelve years, from age 18 to 30, can build such a big nest egg that when you are 30 you can start spending most of your future salary on things that you want, like a boat or a new car.

Mike: I have to agree that the Carnival is becoming unmanageable. And I was disappointed that there were very few posts of interest to Canadians. And it is a lot of work organizing the Carnival and reading almost all the entries.

Free Money Finance in Six Carnivals This Week…
Free Money Finance is part of six carnivals this week. Here are the carnivals and my posts that were included in each: I hosted the Carnival of Investing Festival of Frugality – How to Save Money When Living in a…
MikeB. seems to have gone to a different blogosphere! I checked the first three links in this carnival and the articles are right there, with almost no advertising visible.
CC – I can’t see how skimming through 53 blog posts is a big deal. If you’ve agreed to host the carnival I think this goes with the “job”. I must admit they’re not specifically targeted at the Canadian reader’s (I don’t know if this was the topic for this particular carnival?), but if you check your hit statistics for this page (post) you’ll probably find that most of the readers are not from Canada either
You did a good job of organising and commenting on the posts – I’ve seen much worse attempts in the few others I’ve browsed through!

Yes, Times have changed in America over the last fifty years, and the growing amount of consumer credit debt is one the things that has changed. We should have to understand different situation to form a various solution in each problem. Determining the right solution for each unique debt level can be intimidating. Payday loans are one form, but what about credit cards, and bigger and bigger mortgages for higher interest rates? It used to be that the only major debt a person had was their home, and maybe a car. The credit industry has grown by leaps and bounds over the last twenty years, and it is only recently that it has become challenged by consumers in the wake of the recent recession. Now is a good time to begin debt consolidation, as many companies are hurting for funds, and it would be good to take advantage of it. Home equity loans are a way to go, and payday loans to get early credit payments every now and again aren’t a bad idea either, but you should consult a financial professional if you are going to begin trying to take down your debt. You can read more in the article posted on the payday loans blog at personalmoneystore.com.
Fifty years ago in 1957, the prices were almost ten times cheaper than today’s prices. You must take in mind however; the annual income was only around $4,500 annually for the average household income. Today’s average household income is $20,000 low-end and $200,000 high-end. Gas prices has gone from .24 cents a gallon in 1957 to nearly $3.00 a gallon in 2007. Milk in 2007 will cost you around $3.50 a gallon compared to $1.00 a gallon in 1957. You could purchase a car for $2,000 in 1957. Today a car can cost between $20,000 and $150,000. The cost of living to the annual income of 1957 averages out to be about the same as todays prices. As the cost of living goes up, the annual salary goes up as well.
