Tackle debt now – don’t ignore it Today (6 October 2026) Citizens Advice (CA) revealed that people seeking debt help in England and Wales owe more than £10,000 on average. CA said that more than 48,000 people a month are seeking help, a 37% increase compared with 2022.

I used to write A LOT on MLM. It may literally be a million words when you count my responses to comments where MLM distributors claimed that their business was legal and not a scam. I got sued by several MLM companies for defamation, which was their way of burdening me with legal fees and nuisance work. Then they could say, “We can make this all go away if you take down your article.” As […]

When I first heard about the Trump accounts, my first questions were: Is this a trick? Is this a scam? Is this thing designed to steal people’s money and put it into TrumpCoin? And apparently, I wasn’t alone. According to a survey by BuildCommonWealth.org, since Trump accounts became available to the public this summer, only 5% of eligible parents in that survey had opened one.

Many of us look around and wonder how we ended up with so much stuff. Sometimes I wonder why I spend the money on things that don’t get used much. There is a lot to be said for a little more simplicity, as many people are discovering in this recession. It is possible to spend less money, and still live a full life. And, of course, just because you can afford something doesn’t mean you […]

There’s a good chance you already have one of the most useful household products sitting in your kitchen cabinet. And it probably cost you only a few dollars.
