Ten High-Yield Stocks That Offer Safe Harbor
Article Abstract:
Stock market analysts are certain about only one thing for the 1984 stock market - that because of uncertainty about the effect the federal deficit will have on the market, 1984 will be a year of market turbulence. Although many who are seeking safety with their money have pulled out of the market to more secure investments, there is a way to stay in the stock market and still not take risky chances. By putting money into high-dividend stocks, income can still be almost assured, while, if the market stays bullish, the chances for profits remains. While most companies which offer high yield dividends are financially sound, mature industry companies, there are some who are deep in debt and offer the high dividends to attract investors. Care must be exercised in choosing these stocks. Ten of the best, which met stringent requirements, are highlighted, and include Bank of America, ITT, and Chase Manhattan.

How Much Debt Can You Juggle?
Article Abstract:
Despite healthy salaries and good records, many Americans get into trouble with debt, without even realizing what is happening as they put yet one more purchase on the credit card. There is a method, however, which will tell you what your credit quota is. By figuring out your total yearly income minus your total yearly expenses you can obtain a figure which is your total disposable income. It is from this amount that you can make installment payments. Advice about the percentage of income which can be assigned to installments range from seventeen to twenty per cent of income. Debt is a highly personal matter, and no one should borrow more than they feel comfortable with. Your job or age can also affect the rate at which you should take on debt. A last word of advice, borrowing on credit should not be used to finance frivolity, the trip you enjoy today you should not still be paying for in five years.

What It Takes to Be (Truly) Rich Today
Article Abstract:
By knowing how to live stylishly on a budget, anyone with just a million dollars can be rich. A tongue-in-cheek article discusses the finer points of how to be rich, and how to act once you are rich. Of course there is the old money which constantly puts down new money as uncouth. The important things to remember about being rich are where you live, what you drive or have driven for you, how you dress, and the many incidentals like a summer home, prep schools for the kids, a boat, a winter vacation to keep the tan, the horse for the polo games, and the many expensive charity functions which must be attended. Although it may take work to maintain the image, being rich is certainly better than its alternative.
