High unemployment and slow wage growth seem to have kept consumer spending and core inflation from growing very rapidly in the first half of 2011.

Settling on a Salary

As a company's profit situation improves, business owners may be in a position to decide whether to take home a larger salary or use more of the proceeds to invest for the future. This article discusses the possibility of choosing a business-owner salary that allows for other benefits, such as building the business, saving more for retirement, and adding employee benefits.

Dividends have traditionally been considered a source of income, but they also can be a powerful way to help build savings.

This article explains how dividends work and the role that dividends could play in an investor's savings strategy.
