Sometimes it is challenging to decide if a stock or security is a good deal or not. You don't have a measure of its worth, truly. However, you can tell directly from the price what kind of deal you are receiving with baby bonds. Baby bonds are bonds that function like preferred stock. They trade on the stock market, have a par value (usually $25), and pay a set amount of interest. If you can find a reliable company's baby bond selling under par value,...

I use my DDC for daily frivolous spending, such as fast food and shopping. Remember, dividends are guilt-free income. If you want a lifestyle different...
