		<description><![CDATA[I’m a 32-year-old mother of two and I’ve spent a great deal of time living paycheck to paycheck, but now I want to improve my credit and become financially responsible. I’ve cut down on spending, but my bank account is always overdrawn so bills go without payment. How can I get on track if I am always in the hole?

		<description><![CDATA[My family made a choice, publicly, to spend as much money as possible with Black business owners and professionals.  We made this decision and make this sacrifice because we believe Black people have too much talent and spend too much money for their community to look the way it does and for its families to suffer the way they do.   We urge our community to practice self-help economics. ]]></description>

Why are some of us more concerned with material wealth than with establishing trust funds for our children? What inheritance is your child going to be left if you are forever increasing debt and spending money frivolously?]]></description>

They also contend that consumers need to sharpen their own judgment on matters of savings and debt. This kind of by-the-bootstraps response to consumers who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the midst of this “Great Recession,” a good number of Americans have resorted to ignoring money matters, clinging to hopes that they can begin saving, investing, and moving toward prosperity once the economic downturn ends. Not true of Janice and Mark Blake. While the state of the economy has made them more cautious in their approach to household money management, the Blakes—Mark, 39, a New York City health department supervisor, and Janice, 36, a health administrator—have a frugal philosophy that they employ in fruitful economic years as well as in uncertain times. “We believe our parents gave us a step up, and our goal is to give our kids a step up,” says Janice. It’s a promise to their children, Christopher, 4, and Mikayla, 2.

		<description><![CDATA[Every parent wants to support his or her child’s dreams and aspirations. Most have worked hard to provide their children with the best of everything—access to a quality education, exposure to a variety of experiences and cultures, and, yes—the ability to enjoy creature comforts we couldn’t even fathom at their age. I don’t believe you should feel guilty for trying to enrich the lives of your offspring. But to put it bluntly, many of us have spoiled our kids and have not prepared them for the real world. That’s why today’s harsh economic climate offers an invaluable opportunity to deliver life lessons they will not learn in the classroom.
