Appeal of Savings Bonds Wanes in Ultralow Interest Environment by Ann Carrns

The Great Recession still lingers on. Many households are resisting purchases because of inconsistent and variable incomes. Paychecks that vary each time make it difficult to predict safe spending. It’s leading the most affected to hold back more than ever.

This Is What Sweden’s Most Statistically Sought-After Home Looks Like by Kristin Hohenadel

How to live a middle-class life in New York City on less than $5,000 a year by Pauline Marie Bock
This semi-anonymous, French freegan is living in New York City on an insane, impressively frugal budget: $5,000 a year. She hustles to find the shops and spots where good food is being wasted — thrown away unnecessarily. From bagels to beans to fruits, “Marie” has found countless free meals.

Why I Gave Up a $95,000 Job to Move to the Caribbean and Scoop Ice Cream by Noelle Hancock
This story gets filed under the category of inspirational. Noelle risked it all by quitting her “successful” job in New York City for an island in the Caribbean. In this brilliant little memoir, she shares what led her to take the leap and how she’s been managing.

21 Surprising Statistics That Reveal How Much Stuff We Actually Own by Joshua Becker

Most millionaires say they’re middle class by Robert Frank
There’s something strange about money. No matter how much people have, it never seems to be enough. Take this recent article from CNBC highlighting millionaires who say they’re middle class. It’s possible, but only if you compare them to the richest in Manhattan. Middle class on a global scale is an income in the tens of thousands of dollars per year. With a million or two, you’d be sitting pretty in most of the world.

Your stock picks say a lot about your age by Barbara Kollmeyer
As a shareholder of Tesla (TSLA) stock, this article spoke to me. Tremendous variations in stock ownership by age groups are present. Younger people tend to own technology companies and older adults choose stalwarts such as General Electric. From an investment perspective, it says a lot about future wealth and generational changes in stock market valuation.

Is Frugality Sustainable Without A Goal? by Mrs. Frugalwoods
Oh, I love this one! Mrs. Frugalwoods highlights the importance of goals and planning for frugality. She notes that there was a time before frugality where she was adrift and spending more than she should, but then there was an awakening.
