FinancesOnline.org

Hi All,

Its all about the green today - as in money.  As in finance and investing. Sure many of us have seen Yahoo! Finance, Google Finance, MSN Money, Marketwatch and Bloomberg.  Those are mainstream news sources for finance and money and investing so most folks are aware of them.

But have you seen FinancesOnline.org?  I didn't think so.

The site quickly reviews finance sites with a quick description of the site, the topics covered on the site a section titled 'What Makes This Site Unique?' and another section titled 'What We Like Most About the Site'.  Links to the discussed site are included!

The site also has sections on financial guides, a library  and a glossary to boot so users won't ever get confused about terminology! 

Short, sweet and to the point, Financesonline.org is a don't miss page to visit next time you're on the web.  Enjoy the site and keep learning and reading!

Hi All,

Ten Things...if someone gave you an important list of '10 things' once a month for a long time, how much do you think you would learn?  Exactly!  You'd be a fountain of knowledge!  You'd have the inside scoop on a wide variety of topics!

But where can you find something like this?  Can you find it in a newspaper, magazine, book or on tv or the radio?  Probably so, but looking for this information would take time and effort.  And besides, life and all its vagaries gets in the way!

So just go to MarketWatch where you can see a whole slew of 'Ten Things' articles at a glance. It doesn't take much time - and certainly not much effort. 

Check out some of the titles of the entries - trust me - its good stuff. And useful and practical!

10 Things Marries Couples Won't Tell You 
10 Things Reporters Wont Tell You 
10 Things You Should Never Buy Again
10 Things Chipotle Wont Tell You 
10 Uncomfortable Truths About the Midlife Crisis
10 Things Telemarketers Won't Tell You
...and more...

Enjoy the insight from the articles - hope they make a difference in your everyday life and help you become more productive!

Back to School Trends

Hi All,

The dog days of August have just passed into memory and next up is the Labor Day holiday!  And then, after Labor Day, is the first day of school!  My how time goes by!  Can you remember when we were planning or 4th of July festivities?

Farmingdale public schools have their first day on September 2nd.  Click here for a link to the Farmingdale school calendar.

But the meat of this blog entry is article '12 Big Back-to-School Trends That Every Parent Should Know' from Time Magazine/Money Magazine.  The article is presented as a slideshow of sorts so look for the arrow icon to view the next trend in the article.

Pinterest also got into the 'back to school trend' act with their article titled, 'Top 10 Back-To-School Trends of 2015'   Creative lunches, artful notebooks and nice notes are some of the more entertaining trends that made this list.

Not to be outdone, MarketWatch posted an article titled '7 Back-To-School Shopping Trends' in mid-August.  Not skimping on supplies and uniforms are some of the trends MarketWatch sees as being popular. 

Finally, the NRF (National Retail Federation) created a infographic for their article 'Top To Trends For Back-To-School and College - 2015'  The infographic is colorful, easy-to-read and very darn interesting!  Click on this link for an even deeper dive into the information presented by the NRF!

Enjoy the links - and here's to being trendy.  Have a great school year!
