ravi_s_ghosh asked:


I need a personal finance freeware with with stock, investment, tax, capital gain, interest, etc., features for windows. Also, i want to import gnucash files in it. jGnash can do this, but it doesnt have gr8 features. there are some software like GnuCashToQIF, etc., which can convert gnucash files. Hence any freeware with gr8 features that can import QIF, xml, excel, cvs files will also work.

looking forward to your answer

Anyone know of any good books that give basic personal finance advice?

MountainChick asked:


My parents are in a bit of financial trouble. The problem is not their income. It really comes down to the fact that they don’t have a basic grasp on how to manage money. Any money they make, they spend on something. They won’t take advice from me, because I’m “just their kid.”

So I was wondering if there were any books out there that anyone might know if that talks about things like:

Paying yourself first
How to set up a budget
How to change your thinking about spending
How to get out of that “spend every extra dime you have” mentality…
Etc.

It needs to be a fairly simple read, because neither of them “has time to read.”

Hi! =)

Since we’re undergoing a dramatic revisiting of the financial industry I thought we could brainstorm a few ideas about what would be good improvements to our personal finance law to help retirees and savers:

1. Increase FDIC insurance limit to 500k
2. Increase 401k contributions to 75-100k a year
3. Increase Roth IRA/IRA contributions to 10k a year
