Each week, Marketplace Money looks at the week's major national and international stories that will impact the average listener's wallet. Guests on the hour-long program help listeners map out a course to financial well-being, offering advice on topics like how to pay for college and whether to buy or lease a car. It's "the money show for the rest of us."
This weekend on Marketplace Money, guest host Barbara Bogaev gives listeners who are wasteful with their spending a stern talking to with expert advice on how to plug leaky holes in our budgets. We speak with a couple of personal finance advisers about how to identify where money is being wasted and how to be better budgeters to achieve certain savings goals. Plus, we get an explainer on online sales tax laws around the country and how the latest changes to legislation could affect consumers. Also we show mothers some love with a look at some thoughtful -- and bizarre -- Mother's Day gifts.
