Money



Look to possibly pay even more for that new outfit or television. Retailers in 40 states have been given the green light to charge up to 4% on top of your purchase IF you use your credit card. The reason -- because businesses get slapped with a 4% charge by the credit card company every time their card gets used.  They're trying to recoup that cost.

So, instead of your new television costing $400, it'll now cost an additional $16. Maybe. Walmart and Home Depot want nothing to do with the charge, and neither does American Express. You can also avoid the fee by using your debit card.

Ten states are blocking the charge: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, NY, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Best advice: You'll always avoid trouble using cash.

Stop being so hard on yourself!



Everyone is coming at you with advice on how to raise your kid. Listen, mom, it's okay to break a few rules... here are a few suggestions from The Stir:

  • Always setting a good example. You can let your kids see you make a mistake. They'll learn it's okay not to be perfect.
  • More than 30 minutes of TV a day will rot their brains. No it won't. Especially on a cold and rainy day.
  • Your kid's needs should always come first. Endless hours of Candyland will rot your brain. You need time for yourself.
  • Always be their biggest cheerleader. Guess what? They're not always right, plain and simple. To take your kid's side just because it's your kid doesn't teach them anything.
