Hello and thank you for the posts on Dollar Stretcher. I have been reading your work for years and have come to the conclusion that you are among the most creative personal financial writers I have read.

Aren't you the ones that took a trip to D.C. and bought a crock pot, second hand, to use in feeding your family?

Best wishes on your new book. I know it will offer a lot of very helpful information.

re: The Student’s Part of Financing College: Why Be Average?

I think this is a terrific post. It opens our eyes to what is really happening in the USA now.

Many families are struggling with these issues. They want to have the very best for their child. But, they also want the very best for their family. Can they have both?

What is best for them, a State University or College or a private college? They need information, thoughtful discussion and a decision that works.

Well, in 2011 the banks may have collected 31 billion from overdraft fees, but not one dollar of this was mine! :)

And...if you listen to Dave Ramsey he always asks those who are now debt free how long it took them and what happened with their income over that period of time. Many had raises, a better job etc..

As a personal experience, both our children are making more $$$ today than they did in 2007...in fact, than in 2011! And, they fit in to this under 50 group. Am wondering how others fared who are reading this blog?

I did hear on the radio this a.m. that, for the month of May, average income had risen a bit but spending was flat. Maybe we are getting smarter and not spending every dime we earn? Planning for the future emergencies? Let's hope!

re: Make Budgeting Easier- Use Financial Software

VictorianFireplace — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:01:40 GMT

I do so agree with you, Chris. I've had a system on my computer for years now. At the end of each week I put all of my spending into it. In addition to my bank account, mortgage, etc, I created a "cash" account also. Weekly I input my receipts ( all of which I keep until they are entered ) It is indeed eye opening. I can pull up a report that tells me just how much I spend on any given thing and any time. I am by no means degreed in finance, but with the handy dandy reports, I can tell in a moments notice where I need to put the breaks on a given spending category. It's most helpful to assist me in determining where my expenses have risen and where I need to investigate less expensive options (ie: telephone service, electric use, insurance, etc. )

Hello Bill Hardekopf,

Thank you for this recent post, "Protecting Yourself from Online Hackers."

I think that it is important for all of us to know what can happen and what we can do about it.

I am planning to send this information to the readers of Retire and Renew, www.retireandrenew.com.

I think Seniors and those who have retired can benefit from reading this post.
