The overwhelming consensus is that the Fed will hold the federal funds rate steady at near-zero, where the Fed’s target has been since last December. The Federal Open Market Committee begins its two-day meeting on Tuesday. An announcement is expected Wednesday at about 2:15 p.m. Eastern.“The facts on the ground — high unemployment, low inflation, no net private-sector job creation — suggest to us that it is inconceivable that policy will actually change on Nov. 4,” said the economic team at Credit Suisse in a report to clients.

A report in the Financial Times on Oct. 23 set off a firestorm when it suggested that the Fed was considering scrapping its promise to keep rates “exceptionally low” for “an extended period.”

MONEY SAVING TIPS

Distinguish between Wants and Needs: You will save a ton of money if you don’t mistake wants for needs. Needs are pretty simple to identify–those items that are necessary to sustain: Shelter, food, clothing, transportation. Wants are those things that enhance or possibly improve our family life. A car is a need. Unless necessary for your business, a $40,000 Sport Utility Vehicle is a want, even if a lot of people don’t see it that way. Have you ever heard (or said) “I absolutely need…?” when the actual meaning was “I really want?” This is not to suggest that you shouldn’t be able to have the things you want–only that to delude yourself into believing that a want is a need–and busting your budget in the process–is a recipe for financial disaster.Is less better?

Perhaps it was due to the booming economy, perhaps “keeping up with the Joneses”, maybe its ego, but for many of us, we often seem to insist on the biggest and the best, no matter what the cost. When a $15,000 new car may be more than acceptable, we stretch the seams of our budget to afford a $25,000 vehicle. We buy $25 shirts with $35 designer labels attached. We opt for the $100 dinner at the trendy restaurant when a $20 meal would have been just as delicious. Think about where you are spending the family money–and how–to see if there couldn’t be savings found with minor changes in habits.

Try before you Buy: This goes a long way in helping to avoid the silly purchases of things you rarely or never use. Before you buy something, especially items with big price tags, borrow one, rent one or try one out before you plunk down the cash. If you are bored with it, or determine that it truly is not something you need before you buy it (and you will be on a certain percentage of items) you will definitely be bored with it, or find it not that necessary, after! Example: You feel that you absolutely must have a new Jet-Ski, at a cost of $4500 (and that is before financing and taxes). You go to the lake, rent one, and 45 minutes into a one hour rental you are saying, “geez, this is a long hour.” Saved: More than $4500 (perhaps a year of college fees for the kid!)
