About Stephanie Koske
While best known for her golfing skills prior to her writing, Stephanie competed in Tiger Woods' favorite game for 15 years as a junior and college player. If she hadn't spent the majority of her life chasing around a little white ball, Stephanie would have likely become a chart-topping DJ or makeup artist to the stars. Other loves include Cupid Shuffling, adding clothes to her closet like she's collecting for an apocalypse, spraying excessive amounts of spray butter on most of her food, and – of course - writing about ways to improve personal finance!
Organizing Your Kitchen
Yep, you guessed it: it’s time to put your organizing shoes on again and dance right into your kitchen. If dancing’s not your thing, that’s cool. It’s not mine either, but it seems like it might make organizing more enjoyable (especially when coupled with some funky jams from my dad’s Pure Disco CD collection).
Treasuries Rise, 10-Year Note Falls – Market Update
Treasuries have spiked after a short lull in light of a European financial ministry withholding of Greece’s rescue page. Although treasuries rose, early morning reports indicate that the 10-year note plummeted 7 basis points to 1.97% overnight.
Greece Strikes a Bailout Deal – Market Update
The story has been a far cry from John Travolta’s best dancing days on screen, but in the news this morning there’s no doubt that “Greece is the word.” Reporting indicates Grecian political leaders have at last struck a deal to garner 130 billion euro that will aid in bailing out the debt-laden nation. Early releases confirm that private creditors will receive a 50% cut from the country’s bonds.
Organizing Your Closet
When that dandy freshen-it-up fever washes over me, there’s about a 99.9% chance that I’ll avoid all closet-cleaning activities. The fever’s one thing, but a headache over a giant pile of clothes is another. Luckily, I’ve gathered a slew of awesome ideas that will make organizing any kind of closet (from walk-in to bi-fold door) easy, quick, and fun! Fun? Well, maybe not fun, but at least this kind of cleaning out your closet is a lot better than the type Eminem sings about.
Greece Ready to Finalize €130 Billion Rescue Program – Market Update
Sources confirm Grecian Prime Minister Lucas Papademos will finally meet with political forces to hash out the finishing touches on a bailout package valued at 130 billion euro. Wall Street’s investors are breathing easier this morning following reports of the speculated debt resolution, as it’s driven many to corral money away from bonds and into riskier investments. As a result of the change in trading, mortgage-backed securities have taken a slight drop in today’s early hours.
Grecian Financial Troubles Continue to Impact U.S. Markets – Market Update
Greece is in the hot seat again, as negotiations between the European country and its private creditors have come to a halt. According to reports, Greece’s leading political forces missed responding to a deadline that would enforce demands for harsher measures to be implemented. Wall Street is growing familiar with financial woes abroad, thus mortgage-backed securities are up slightly again this morning. Up next in this week’s economic release schedule is today’s 1 p.m. auction of $32 billion in 3-year notes.
30-Year Bond and 10-Year Yield Remain Stagnant – Market Update
It’s a slow day in the market this morning, as numbers remain stagnant, and there are no scheduled economic releases on deck. The 30-year bond is finally holding steady after a three-day climb of 18 basis points, while the consistent 10-year yield makes its mark at 1.93%. As the European debt crisis rolls on, Greece is still facing pressure from international leaders to make necessary decisions to avoid financial failure.
