Washington -- The U.S. agency that guarantees pensions for 44 million people has seen its deficit triple to a record $33.5 billion, officials said Wednesday.

All of us like to live well, one of the reasons we find the household-related expenses on the steeper side with passage of time. However, it is prudent to flow with the times and today, when we are in the middle of an economy in recession, it makes sense to trim household expenses so you are not left wondering how to take care of other necessities. Cost-cutting, like charity, works best when it begins at home!

It is always a good feeling to see a comforting amount in your bank statements each month. However, not many of us may be holding jobs that pay out the kind of money that you could call A-one. Does that mean you cannot earn more than what your job pays you? No, because you always have the option of taking up extra jobs that pay you well without making you break into too much of a sweat.

Soon, you'll be seeing a bit more money in your wallet, thanks to the
government's latest stimulus package. If you play your cards right and
don't just go blow it on an extra lunch or a trip to the movies, you
could make yourself a millionaire over time.
