In this market, many new renters are freely negotiating with prospective landlords on the price of rent and having success.
However, what if you are currently locked into a lease and don’t really want to move?

Luckily, there are still ways you can negotiate a lower rent payment.

As tax season moves into high gear, thoughts turn toward how to improve tax efficiency.
There are a number of legal ways to reduce what you owe in taxes, thanks to deductions and credits. If you think about your expenses, and re-examine your position, it is quite likely that you will find a few commonly overlooked deductions and credits that you missed.
Additionally, with a little thought, it is even possible to reduce your tax liability for the previous year — even though a new year is under way.

Legislation that would have threatened the existence of an open and free internet was shelved this week in part to widespread “blackouts” at many popular internet sites.
For 24 hours users were unable to access Wikipedia, Google’s logo was blacked out on their homepage, reddit and BoingBoing blacked out their sites and gave messages for users on steps to take.

Ironically enough, immediately following the shelving of these bills, a controversial file sharing website — MegaUpload — was shut down on an international scale. Employees in New Zealand were arrested, assets seized, and the site shut down thanks to the US government coming after them. The fines for copyright infringement by the site are estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Instead of focusing on how to pay off a multi-million dollar fine, let’s focus on building our wealth to becoming millionaires. Here’s some interesting articles to help you get there:
