Wow, hard to believe how quickly time flies during the holidays. Of course maybe time isn't moving any faster. It could be that I'm just going slower!
Wanted to start this year with a mention of a column I wrote and a blog comment about it. The article was about a mother who had co-signed an auto loan. Now her son decided that he didn't want the ride and couldn't make the payments. You'll find it at http://www.stretcher.com/stories/07/07dec24c.cfm
The comments are from Nancy Castleman. She's someone you should get to know. Nancy co-authored "Invest in Yourself: Six Secrets to a Rich Life" and has spent the last 23 years teaching people how to get out of debt, save money, and live better on less. She writes on all these subjects for CreditBloggers.com. You'll find her comments about the column at http://www.creditbloggers.com/2007/12/taking-out-a-ca.html.
As you can see by my response comment, I agree with Nancy. Sometimes a kinder response is better. Or as my Grandma used to say you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar (although I never really wanted to catch a bunch of flies!).
At any rate, you might want to check out Nancy's blog. I think that you'll find it interesting.
