What teenager does not have a cell phone these days? Teens use their phones to download music, access email, and to send endless text messages to the world. To cut back on costs, suggest to your children that you will pay the basics of their plan, but they are on their own for the rest of the bill. Kids will be a lot more responsible with their phone if they know they will have to pay for overage charges, ring tones, and exceeding their texting limit.

The holiday season is over, but stores are not seeing a major decrease in spending by consumers like they have seen in the past. Contrary to thought, consumers are not planning on slowing down when it comes to their spending.

Who is teaching your child about money? If your not, then chances are that no one is. 9 Year Mortgage recognizes that personal finance is not taught in schools and the only way they are learning is by example. Children often do not see their parents paying their mortgage or utility bills; what they do see is a piece of plastic that pays for most of your daily activities. The moment your child starts noticing the connection between money and purchases, you as their parent, have the obligation to teach them the truth about money; the earlier the better.

Nine Year Mortgage believes that life insurance is an essential protection to have, especially for married people with children. When a primary wage earner is taken in death, serious decisions and consequences arise, such as whether to sell the house, whether a stay at home Mom should go to work, whether a grandparent should move in to take care of kids, and mourning the loss of the spouse/parent. These issues, along with all the rest that go along with such a stressful time in life, are best made with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that money is not a problem or a factor in the decision.
