March Book Review

I read a lot this month. We had a couple quiet weekends, and I took advantage of them by reading. There were a few books I started and couldn't finish. Life is too short to read a book you don't like. But below are the ones I did finish. I hope you find a few ones to add to your list. Temptations by Sherryl Woods My rating: 4.5/5 I loved it! Slight (very slight if I could finish the book) suspense in the book. I thought it was a great story and I didn't want it to end. Back of book: Callie Smith's quest for success far from her Iowa roots has caused a rift with her hardworking family.

Suddenly she gets to know a whole new side to her mother, and also has the opport...

MONEY BACK FROM TAXES? HERE IS A SURE WAY TO GROW IT

April 15th is right around the corner; did you file your taxes yet? The goal should always be to break even, but it's always nice to receive a return. Want to make the return you receive grow even more..... invest in a high yield savings account ! We were first introduced to this concept about 9 months ago and didn't do it. The person that told us about it was incredibly happy with the results they were getting. It took convincing to get my husband on board, but when he did, he was sold. Sometimes he has to be "sold" on an idea, so I had to do some research. Below are the articles and facts I learned/read in the process. [Note: I am not a financial advisor, just someone that loves money.] WHAT IS A HIGH YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT? Savings account with higher interest then a traditional savings account.
