3 liquidity ratios: Assessing short-term financial viability
     Measuring a company’s liquidity ratio is like checking a car’s fuel or electricity gauge.   Even a zippy Lamborghini or top-of-the-line Tesla won’t get you to your destination if it runs short of juice. Likewise, if a company runs out of cash—or assets to be converted to cash—to pay its short-term liabilities, well, that’s potentially the end of the line...
Getting maximum value from downsizing: Declutter for fun and profit
     If yours is like many American households, you may have more things hiding in your cupboards, closets, or basement than you know what to do with. If you’re staying put, the clutter may be a mere annoyance. But if you plan on moving, that’s when things get real: You have to figure out what to do with all that...

     It’s time to file taxes again this year. You might prepare your taxes yourself or have a tax preparer help you.

The individual...
Powers of attorney: What they are and how they work
     A power of attorney (POA) doesn’t refer to a lawyer. Rather, a POA is a legal document that you (the principal) can use to delegate your wishes to a trusted agent who can act on your behalf in legal, financial, or health care matters.   This delegation of power is typically used when you’re incapacitated, perhaps because of an illness...

     A checking account is a financial workhorse. From paying bills, to shopping, to getting quick cash, a checking account can do it all—except when it comes to paying you a decent interest rate on your balance.   The yields on most checking accounts are minimal at best, and many pay nothing at all. But there is an alternative. A money...
What is a living will, and why do you need one?
     In the realm of health care planning, few documents hold as much weight and significance as a living will. This legal document is a type of advance directive that allows you to specify your preferences for medical treatment in the event that you become incapacitated and unable to communicate your wishes.   Unlike a traditional will, which addresses the distribution...

How to invest in art and collectibles: From pastime to portfolio
     Investing in art and other collectibles offers some features that traditional stock and bond investing simply can’t: physical appeal and enjoyment. You can admire a painting on your living room wall, play a violin, and wear a watch.

What is credit counseling and how does it work?
     If you have debt, it’s easy for your obligations to become unmanageable. You may be feeling stressed—that’s relatable!—but you may be able to find some relief through credit counseling.
