This weekend, a new year will be upon us. Anytime the calendar changes, friends of mine usually go overboard with their resolutions. Some say they are going to quit smoking/drinking/doing drugs/watching porn/eating junk food/etc, and they do good, for about 12 days. By Martin Luther King Day, they are back to doing the same old mess. Others actually are much more strong willed with their desire to change, however, life may throw them a curve ball which makes their resolution fail.
So what are some good, solid resolutions virtually any of us can implement, and STICK too. Check out my list after the jump. [click to continue…]

Back in February, we dropped our first installment of the best checking account promotions for those looking to set up a new account, and get a bonus doing so. That post was so popular we wanted to make sure we came back with an update to end the year. We have updated the original post as well as compiled the latest offers right here as well.
PNC Bank is offering a Web Only $100 Bonus to sign up for a new account with them. To get the money, you have to open an account, set up direct deposit, and make 10 check card purchases.
ING Direct is offering a $50 dollar bonus to open their Electric Orange checking account. Simply open an account, make 3 card purchases or Person2Person payments within the first 45 days of opening. Your $50 dollar bonus will be deposited into the account on the 50th day.
Bank of America is offering up to $220 in a special online-only promotion for opening an account and then making bill payment to your credit card with them. You can earn the first $100 by opening an account and establishing direct deposit. You must enter the promo code CHC220OL during the application. If you have a Bank of America credit card, you can earn an additional $120 over 6 months by making online bill payments from your new checking account to your card each month. No “big bank” is offering that much money this fall.
More on the way…

This recession has taught many of us to not rely on credit as much as our own liquid resources for things. Whether by choice or circumstance, getting ahead in 2010 has been a challenge for most, if you weren’t ready for it. When I say ready, I mean financially, which many of us aren’t. No matter your age, occupation, or location, there are some behaviors that many of us have, but all of us need to stop. Check out the 5 Broke Brotha Mistakes after the jump. [click to continue…]
