Valle San Giovanni is a small village of approximately 350 people located about six miles away from the town (comune) of Teramo, the capital of the province of Teramo, in the Abruzzo region of Italy. The Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso are about 25 km away. It sits in the Tordino Valley, near the spot where two small streams, the Lete and the Fiumicello, flow into the Tordino river. Due to the kindness of its citizens and inherent beauty the village is often referred to as “La Cenerentola d’Abruzzo” (The Cinderella of Abruzzo).
The village of Valle San Giovanni hosts an elementary school. Students in the higher grades attend school in nearby Teramo.

Brown Bagging It

RSS 2.0 feed.To me, the low hanging fruit of finding additional savings for your emergency fund or financial goals is to bring your own lunch or snacks to work. Even if you only buy off the dollar menu at some fast food places, it can easily add up to over $15 a week, that’s $60 extra dollars a month, or $720 annually. Hello! That’s what I call a money-suck. You’re money just gets sucked away and you can’t figure out where it went.
When brown bagging, always strive to make it fun, so you don’t feel deprived or give up and go back to the drive-through. (more…)

Rule of 72 - Inflation Bites!
You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.
RSS 2.0 feed.If it’s not already obvious, I’m not really a writer. I’m more of a numbers gal. I find their rules and logic comforting, like how you can multiply any number between 1 and 10 with the number 9 and the digits of that sum when added together will also equal 9. Did I lose you? Here are a couple of examples: 4 x 9 = 36, break 36 apart and 3 + 6 = 9; or 5 x 9 = 45, break 45 apart and 4 + 5 = 9. Feel free to use this at parties as an ice breaker.
That’s why I’m enamored with the Rule of 72. The Rule of 72 states that dividing the number 72 by the rate of return or percentage increase of an item or expense will tell you roughly how long it will take for that amount to double. An example may help. (more…)

Giving Kids the Financial Basics

RSS 2.0 feed.Whether it was due to necessity or pure strategy, my mother gave me a leg up in my chosen career by sharing the basics of money management with me at a very young age. I remember my first lesson vividly. I was 10 and I really wanted a pair of Jordache jeans (don’t laugh, they were cool back then!). My mom patiently sat me down with the checkbook, her paycheck and the bills and showed me exactly what it cost to run our household and how much was left for groceries, savings, and finally non-essential expenses, like the jeans in question. I was told if I really wanted them, I could save for the jeans.
Many kids today are simply handed their parent’s credit card to go off and buy whatever they want with no idea of the value of an item or how to manage their money. But through the internet, there are now a variety of tools available out there to help parents and teachers provide their children and students with the financial basics. (more…)
