Whether or not it worked out quite that way is debatable. However, the rate increased back to the former level in January 2013. Even if you were fortunate enough to have received a raise this year it's likely this tax increase wiped out some or most of it. But you don't have to let it ruin your budget. Check out the following tips from the National Foundation for Consumer Counseling to can help you stretch your paycheck.

Why It Is Wise to Diversify

A message from the
Financial Retirement & Investments Program

 

You may be amused by the efforts of some of
your friends and neighbors as they try to "chase
the return" in the stock market. We all seem to know
a day trader or two: someone constantly hunting for
the next hot stock, endlessly refreshing browser
windows for breaking news and tips from assorted gurus.

Is that the path to making money in stocks? Some
people have made money that way, but others do not.
