I wonder how many charitable donors could continue with their donations during and post recession. According to Charity Navigator most donors are recipients. Now, that is understandable because the economical epidemic has depleted the financial resources of most of us. Of the few donations that are being received, most are not being used for the purpose they are meant for. So many, like me, have stopped donating money. What’s the use of parting with your hard earned money, if it is not begin used for the intended noble cause ? But genuine organizations that are in need of charity funds to power their survival and operations, are suffering due to lack of money and it is our responsibility to see that we continue donating for their cause. But this time, we need to exercise some caution in making  [...] 

The world in which we exist today is full of people demanding immediate action and instantaneous gratification. We have fast food corners because we cannot wait for more than 10 minutes to eat or we might starve to death. We have stores open full night because some people remember to shop after 2 am. People today are something more than impatient. Look around and look at you. Ok, you can look at me as well. And I don’t really have any problem with such people. Even I cannot wait if a website takes longer than 2 seconds to load. However, when it comes to achieving our financial goals, this approach is hazardous. I may be more impatient than you in most of the activities that we perform daily but I have adopted quite a different approach to get my finances back to normal. People follow faulty  [...] 

You always blame your luck, whenever you see a person driving his black, long Mercedes. You wonder what wrong have you don’t in your past lives that you are reside in a broken house and what that little brat did to get it all. Sometimes you think of planning a bank robbery when unpaid bills are scattered all over the places with no money to even post the check. You kept blaming. You kept wondering. And you kept planning. Did you try to think any new and genuine ways to earn except bank robbery? Did you try to take any additional efforts except blaming than make your tomorrow better than today? I am sure the answer is no. Before we proceed, let me tell I am that rich guy that you envy. I have the black Mercedes and a house like a palace. And I really hate when people keep blaming their luck  [...] 

I don’t know what a general perspective of looking at money is, but I certainly love it. My parents always told me that working for money or wanting more money is harmful and I may never be successful if I thought about it this way. You think my parents are inane? Probably. But so are many people around the world who think similar to my parents. Many are always taught since childhood that money is bad (they don’t say this directly, but there are ways they use very shrewdly to tell this). They say money is the root cause of all evil and wealthy people are rarely seen happy. I don’t really know who derived this condition: if you are rich, you aren’t happy. Ok. Now there are also people who want be on either sides. They say having money is good, but being greedy for money is not at all  [...] 

This year, festivities seem to be impacted by the economic recession. At least a third of us seem to be affected by it and 88 % of us from this group intend to slash our festive expenditure.

Listening to the symphonies of music legends such as Beethoven, Mozart and Mahler has been my passion for long while working. Recently, I’ve added, Pundit Shiv Kumar Sharma and Pundit Ravi Shankar, world renowned Indian instrumentalists, to my list of all time favorites. The music is so mystic and gives an out of this world experience. It converts work into pleasure seamlessly whereby you are not actually working but entertaining yourself for hours together. You will agree with me friends that when you sit to work you might be in different moods. You might be happy, sad, angry or excited. The very nature of the human mind is to be in one or more emotional states every waking moment. But your work demands an emotional disposition suitable to your work. As a computer programmer, I need to listen  [...] 

Maybe a  couple of years ago, I’d feel embarrassed bargaining with shopkeepers over the price of a selected item, which may be a garment, a cookie pack, a restaurant bill or a doctor’s fee. But not anymore! That’s what everybody seems to be doing. This recession has not spared even the most socially well-mannered person amongst us to bargain for prices in the biggest showrooms and departmental stores of the nation. Rather, some retailers are offering their ware at negotiable prices. According to NPR, haggling has picked momentum in recent years. According to America’s Research Group, 72 percent of holiday shoppers were found haggling last year, compared to 56 percent the year before. It’s the recession of course. According to NPR, a consumer reports survey showed people who haggled  [...] 

You’ve always wanted to dress up like a super model. But the dresses that super models wear are very highly priced. So you compromise with a snazzy piece from a sample sale. After all, chances are, you’ll be getting the same high fashion garments for about 20 % of the original price. The coming Spring Fashion Week 2010 might offer you designer garments at a discount of about 80 %. With such a sale, your immediate reaction will be to run to the stores and grab the opportunity. But you should be aware that sample sales, though not all, are full of baits to trap you and you should be careful of those. The logic is very simple, why should a company offer you huge discounts unless it is benefited in someway? These items sold on sample sales, are not the ones that you see models wearing. So you  [...] 

I really feel sorry for those of us who’ve stopped dining out for saving money. The other day, when I went to a popular restaurant in the peak hours, I found most of the seats empty and even those that were full had small servings of some snacks.  A sumptuous meal has become a rare extravagance in the present times!  I’m not the only observer of this trend. A market survey done by Mintel says that number of outside diners has reduced to half of past year. Can you believe it- more than 80 percent of us are content with homemade simple dishes? Yeah, I know the recession has compelled most of us to curtail our expenditure on little pleasures that actually make life worth living! But tell me, do you really feel like eating simple food at home when you’re on a holiday mood? We’ve had enough!  [...]
