Straight Talk on Your Money
Listen Up Ladies:
What You Need to Know
About Your Money
I (Daria here) have some news for you that Ken isn’t going to want to hear! In just a few short years, by 2010 according to some estimates, half of all private wealth will be in the hands of women.
Unfortunately, in many of my conversations with women, they tell me time and time again that they don’t get involved with managing or growing their money because it’s too “boring” or “complicated.”
Let me give it to you straight, ladies: That’s no excuse for not taking steps to learn and get involved. You’re only hurting yourself in the long run.
Yes, it can be complicated. Believe me, I understand. But you don’t have to do it alone. Ken and I started Smart Money Moves and Dolans.com to help you.
I made the decision years ago to get involved, and it’s one of the smartest decisions I ever made. So let me help you get started right now.

Leave Me Alone! If you’re like us, unsolicited calls are one of the biggest annoyances while we’re home trying to relax with the family. In fact, Daria got a call the other day from some kind of sketchy “fund-raiser.” As you may know, you can put a stop to them. But what you may not know is that there are scammers out there trying to profit from this. We don’t want you to become a victim, and Daria’s got all the important information for you. Click here to listen to her 60-second audio alert. Money “Wisdom” “Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy.” You could probably guess this quote is from some wise guy, right? Well, it is. It’s from legendary comedian Groucho Marx. We agree that money is useful in that it gives you freedom to do things that are important to you and your family — such as sending your child to college, retiring on your terms or taking the family on a great vacation. That’s why we’re here to help you make smarter money decisions each and every day at Dolans.com. |
RetirementWhen Should I Start
Social Security?
That’s a question we get all of the time.
It used to be a whole lot simpler. You turned 65, and all of your benefits were there waiting for you. Check, please…and see you on the first tee!
Not anymore. With the new rules in place, you have some decisions to make. These are important decisions, because making the wrong one could cost you.
You baby boomers, in particular, need to pay close attention as you approach retirement age. Unfortunately, the news is not all good for you.

4 Ways to Profit from
a Weak Dollar
By almost any definition, anything that’s "weak" can’t be good.
You don’t want a weak cup of coffee. You don’t want to be perceived as being weak. And you didn’t want to be the “Weakest Link” on that stupid game show.
So when you hear that the U.S. dollar is weak, it’s time to get concerned, right?
Yes and no. (How’s that for a "weak" answer? Well, it’s the truth!)
Seriously, this is something you need to know and understand, because a weak dollar affects everything from your investments to the price of all the stuff you buy. Let us tell you how it all works — in plain English.
One of the things we’re most excited about at Dolans.com is our ability to get in touch with you in so many different ways — through articles, special video reports, audio alerts, Coffee with Ken — and more.
We’re happy to say our videos are a big hit! You can find them in the “Dolans on Demand” section at Dolans.com.
