Economic times are definitely tough now. However, if you have a little extra cash, there's never been a better time to invest than when things are down. Any investment guide will tell you that now is the time to invest; some stocks and real estate won't be this cheap again. That said, there's plenty of risk involved as banks continue to fail and corporations file for bankruptcy. You don't need an broker or financial services. The best investment guide is a little common sense and a little discipline.

The first step to any good investment guide is to make sure that you're paying off your debts first. In almost all cases, the interest rates on credit cards and some loans are higher than the potential return on your investments. There are some exceptions - monthly payments on mortgages and car loans can be paid at the minimum, and never pay more than the minimum on student loans, usually the most favorable interest rate you'll have. On the flip side, it's unlikely that you'll find the next Google. Possible, but unlikely. Don't plan on it, and besides, if you DO find it, you won't need another investment guide or worry about what debts to pay off when.

The next step is to have a 'cushion'. The FDIC will insure any CD or savings account in a FDIC-insured bank for the amount of $250,000. This money will return a modest amount, usually around 4% annually. This money is your lifeboat. There's no such thing as a "for sure" in investment, and if an investment guide or broker tells you otherwise, run. For this reason, guard yourself against potential losses by keep a substantial savings. I recommend 10% of your income. Of course, don't save 10% of your income instead of paying off your credit cards.

Finally, you're ready to invest. Again, there is no such thing as a "sure thing". It just doesn't exist. The key to investing is to balance the risk and the potential reward. I recommend investing in a mutual fund. I would avoid picking individual stocks or commodities - this sort of investing isn't that different than gambling. A mutual fund covers a number of different stocks and you gain or lose by the whole group. This protects you from collapses and gives you more chances at a "winner".
The best mutual funds, in my opinion, are a group of blue-chip stocks, such as Microsoft and Coca-Cola; these are proven companies that have reliable long-term growth. If you still want to try to "beat the market" that's your opinion; this is an investment "guide", not a investment "you-must-do-what-I-say". However, I would recommend something like a 85-15 split between a mutual fund and "playing the market".

Following these few simple steps, and you won't need an investment guide to save for your retirement, your children's education, or the life you've always dreamed of!

If money makes the world go around, then lately if feels like the world is spinning a lot slower. There are plenty of ideas to make money floating around but what really works? Is it a get rich scheme you find on the internet or maybe an “ol’ school” lemonade stand? Basically, there are two commodities you need to make money: time and other money.

One of the fastest ideas to make money is to sell something you already own. Rummage through closets, garages or attics and you’re sure to come up with a yard full of valuable “junk.” Naturally, you’ll need to advertise but this doesn’t mean a million dollar spot on the Super Bowl. A couple of well placed and easy to read signs posted at the end of your block should steer traffic your way. You can increase this traffic by pulling in a couple of other neighbors and their junk. The bigger the yard sale the greater chance you have of making money fast.

Consider this idea to make money from a yard sale and upload it to the internet. There are two viable sources for selling your stuff: Craigslist and Ebay. On Craigslist you post what you have for sale then wait for somebody to find it. The one drawback with this is that the ads cycle. So the “for sale” post you put up in the morning will be shoved down to the end of the line by lunchtime and might be ignored.

On Ebay, you get to auction off your item to the highest bidder. This could mean getting more then you expected to. You also reach a worldwide audience and can keep your auction active for as long as you want. You also can post the item as “buy now” with a fixed price. The drawback is that you’re in charge of shipping. You’ll be able to include the cost but you still have to pack it up and drag it to the post office. As an alternative, try to find an Ebay drop off site in your city. These are small shops that for a price of the sale, will handle all the auction business. Selling your stuff without the hassle is truly a great idea to make money.

Another one of the decent ideas to make money is to offer services to your neighbors. Maybe there are some senior citizens who have trouble getting to the store. You could set up an errand service where you’ll take care of their business for a small fee. Chances are you’re probably going to the same places anyhow so why not make money while you do it? Finally, there is the old fashion concept of mowing lawns as a good idea to make money. Hard work but it has to get done. You could call lawn work as the original “growth” industry.
