Got Instant Money? Here's What to Do with It...
Yahoo Financial Expert Farnoosh Torabi says if you come across surprise money -- a tax return, a settlement, an unexpected severance, here's her blueprint for how you should manage your cash...
50% - Pay down debt! Farnoosh says, not necessarily your mortgage, but if you have any outstanding credit card debt, start here. If you don't have debt, then you can skip and put 90% into savings (to help pay for retirement and future big purchases like a home or college education) and 10% towards FUN.
40% - Build up savings! "If you don’t have at least a 9 to 10-month saving cushion to help pay your bills, in case you lose your job or have a financial setback, bulk up that account." She says if your retirement needs extra padding, contribute some to that as well.
10% - Treat yourself! Farnoosh says to buy something pretty and help the economy. You earned it. Try to buy something that will retain value if you need to resell it.

Yes, please tell us what the websites are to check for missing money that might be owed to us??? Your show said to check your website. Don't see anywhere on it for the websites. What are the websites to check if I have some money owed to me? Deb
I, too, am looking for the websites mentioned on today's show regarding "found money." There was suppose to be a link on the Anderson Cooper website, however, it doesn't seem to be here.
I watched todays show and you said that the missing mmoney websites would be posted but, I cannot locate them anywhere. The only one I remember is missingmoney.com, what are the sites of the other that were mentioned?
What was the e-mail address of where one can claim money that might be waiting to be claimed??? Thank you

I am looking for the links that were mentioned on the show about where to find money that you might have lost out there that you can find. Can you tell me what they are again? Thank in advance.
There is no such thing as evil. What you call evil is only something you don't "want." Money is not evil. Money is a wonderful thing that is "wanted" by everyone. There is nothing wrong with wanting money because money brings you more fun and more increase and more life. It's what's in your heart that counts, not what's in your bank account. This is true no matter how much $$ your have or don't have.
The tongue would be root of all evil
Ms.Torabi said on the show today that "money is the root of all evil", but the actual quote is the "love of money is the root of all evil". Just wanted to clarify.
Thank you!
