Snow.. ughh

So the weatherman finally got one forecast right... it's snowing woohoo. My evening class was cancelled so now I get extra time to do some chores before bedtime (oh woe is me). I made Ziti before I left for school today (meatless & used $0.59 diced tomatoes instead of the $1.79 canned spaghetti sauce) so the family is chomping down on that as I type. Hubby and I have made an appointment to see a financial rep at our bank so hopefully we'll join the thousands of Americans who plan for their futures for a change Smile

I did manage to clean the rest of my house and fiddle a bit with finances to plan a day out this weekend (kids et al.) . We're looking at a museum trip complete w/ mommy 'witches (thats what my 7 year old used to call my sandwiches when she was in preschool heheh) and boxed Hi-Cs.

And by the way... today was a no-spend day!!! YIPPPEEEE!!!

If you check into mutual funds, make sure you do a 'No-load' fund. I went to my bank and talked to an advisor and I got sucked into paying about 5.5% load (not including maintenance costs). Meaning, I'm paying that much every year for my money to sit there. I switched all my accounts to no-load and now I don't pay anything (other than the general maintenance). With a load fund, your account pays the manager to perform well. With a no-load, the manager isn't relying on your %, but has to work well without it.

ahhhh.. good piece of info! I'm now looking at the whole CD shuffling scheme but when I accumulate more dough I'll definitely look into no load funds! Thanks!
