My interview with the first family of wrestling- the McMahons continues to get the hits on Youtube. I thought I would share one of the segments with you. This is my interview with the controversial patriarch- Vince McMahon.

Ready to Leave the Nest But Not Ready to Leave the Perks

Mary Caraccioli — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 17:56:22 +0000

More than 40% of 20-somethings end up moving back with their parents at least once. Call it the Boomerang generation. So it wasn’t too hard for me to find someone who fit this description for my show “We Owe What?” Elana Nolan’s story may sound familiar- she is in her late 20’s but still hasn’t cut the financial cord to mom and dad even though she is seriously ready to have her own place. But is she serious about giving up the good life that comes with paying no rent to make it happen?

Awkward Moments

My first car was a Ford Festiva- sub sub compact with a stick shift. Great- except I didn’t know how to drive a stick! Worst part for me was getting in first gear while at a stop light on a hill. That rollback was terrifying! I actually would put my emergency brake on until I was in gear.

Mary Caraccioli — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 17:38:07 +0000

Congratulations, the kids are building their own young adult lives. You did it! But while you were taking care of their dreams did you make sure you were tending to the nest egg that will take care of yours?
Cindy and John’s story should motivate you to get to work.

Facing Past Money Mistakes and Letting Kids Fly $olo

Mary Caraccioli — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 14:17:13 +0000

For Cindy and John Russo, nothing is more important than the happiness of their two sons and the success of their band – even if that means their finances are left playing second fiddle. John often leaves Cindy in the dark about the bills, and carries the burden on his shoulders. And, though John’s intentions are good, his actions only lead to money miscommunications and marital turbulence. With a past investment gradually eating away at their finances, the Russo family needs to band together to sing a new financial tune – and fast.

Faith and Finances: Meet the Chandlers

Mary Caraccioli — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 16:52:15 +0000

The Chandler family is devoted to their church, but has lost faith in their finances. Even after downsizing to a smaller house, Nate and Thilana still find themselves in the red each month. With bills mounting and five children to feed, the Chandler family needs Mary to clean their financial house.

Family of Nine Looking for Ways to Save

Mary Caraccioli — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:33:34 +0000

The Poley family reminded me of my own clan. I was one of nine kids, the Poley’s have a family of nine. There is a lot of joy and love in their home. But like my parents, Beth and Darren struggle to keep food on the table.
I found a creative way for this large family to save and share their many skills with others.

A New Financial You After a Break-up

Mary Caraccioli — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 14:23:56 +0000

Ericka Johnson was used to having what she wanted when she wanted it. But a break-up changed her financial picture. Her real money problems were created when she forgot to tell her spending habits about her new money reality. Things got even worse when she started shopping as therapy. Emotional spending has led to more than one bankruptcy. I didn’t want that to happen to Ericka, so we got to work.

Their Money Can’t Keep Up With Them

Mary Caraccioli — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:48:07 +0000

Kelly and Steve Woronicak have had a wild ride as a couple. Immediately after tying the knot, they closed on their home, a year later had their first child, and 18 months after that had a set of twins! With three young boys under the age of four, the Woronicak family has mastered parenting 101 but needs to be schooled in managing their finances.
That is where I come in.

Curt’s New Game

Mary Caraccioli — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:59:04 +0000

Curt Schilling knows how to win games, just ask folks in Boston and Arizona. But now the 46-year old former baseball pitcher is hoping to strike gold with a new game- his own business.
That business is a video game company called 38 Studios. This week the company released its first game to rave reviews. Considering more money is spent a year on video games than movie tickets, the former Red Sox pitcher could see bigger earnings from this, than from his legendary time on the mound.
I spoke with Schilling when the game was still in development about his new career and about his real motivation for success- his family.

Adapting Money Skills to Life Changes

Mary Caraccioli — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:51:53 +0000

Going from single and able to splurge on you and only you- to married- to homeowner- to parents of 3, that is what I call a life change! Sometimes all of our habits and coping mechanisms don’t change as quickly as our lives do. That is what Kelly and Steve discovered.

My thanks to the Woronicak family. It was a pleasure working with you!

Caught in a Credit Crunch

Mary Caraccioli — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:01:25 +0000

I wish I could tell you the Miller family is an extreme. But their money troubles are similar to millions of Americans. They took on a lot of personal debt when credit was easy. Then things changed. When the economy tanked, so did their business and the value of their home. Now it is worth less than they owe. Like so many others, their money was caught up in a perfect storm. But they are ready to recover!

Thank you Courtney, Luke and the amazing Miller children!

Update Your Least Favorite Room for Less

Mary Caraccioli — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 12:00:17 +0000

I love a pretty and comfy home but I’d rather put my investment dollars into my daughter’s education. A pair of designers gave me some tips so I can have both the cash for college and a nice place to hang out in the meantime. What do you think of their money saving ideas? Do you have better ones? Let me know.
