    Updated: 2010-10-28 01:02:17
    Every year billions of FICO® scores are calculated for the purposes of making lending and insurance decisions. Until now we never really had a crystal clear understanding of the similarities among consumers with the most elite scores of 760 and above: the so-called “FICO High Achievers."

  • The Financial Price Of Being A Stay At Home Mom

    Updated: 2010-10-28 01:00:49
    I stayed home with my young children, putting my career on the back burner, for five years.  Financially speaking, it was a bad move.

  • No Tricks! Just Healthier Halloween Treats

    Updated: 2010-10-27 21:12:09
    As fun as it is to inhale Laffy Taffy, Milky Way minis (the dark chocolate ones, please) and Kit Kats of all flavors and sizes, that’s a lot of sugar. Add in a few parties, parades and other events, and it’s sugar overload. While it may be tough to pry away the trick-or-treat bag (or bowl, if you’re the one doling out the candy instead of collecting it), for parties and other events you can swap in party treats that are tastier, healthier and just as friendly on your wallet.
