Great Financial Sites to Visit

Hello to all my Frugal Friends!

Wanted to take just a couple of moments to mention some friends.

Last week I spend time time visiting with the Editor (Cara Newman) and CEO (Ben Levy) of YoungMoney.com. Had two good conversations. One thing that all 3 of us agreed on was that the level of financial education that young people are getting is woefully lacking. And we want to do everything within our power to correct that. If you're in your teens or twenties, you'll want to check it out. And, if you're older than that, you'll want to pass the URL along to those you know who are still in that age range. I'll pass along a teaser to pique your interest. Right now they've got a video asking student whether *** ed or financial ed is more important! Fortunately, I'm too old to have an opinion on that question! Oh, and you might want to take their Financial IQ challenge. Look for the discounts and incentives that could save some money or even add some money to your bank account!

The other friend I'd like to mention is Mary Hunt of DebtProofLiving.com. I'm sure that many of you recognize her name since she's been a leader in frugal living for quite awhile. I've read quite a few things from Mary. And I can pretty much say that if Mary wrote it, you can count on it. So, if you haven't already, take a look at her site. It's goes great with what you get here at The Dollar Stretcher.com.

Hope that you're enjoying some wonderful fall weather!

Keep on Stretching those Dollars!

Gary

About Gary

For more than 25 years, Gary Foreman has worked to manage money effectively. Prior to starting The Dollar Stretcher, he was a financial planner and purchasing manager. While helping clients manage their hard earned money as a financial planner, he applied commonsense, time-tested techniques during the turbulent 1980’s. The experience convinced him that you didn’t need to hit the lottery to accumulate significant wealth. Following that, Gary had an opportunity to learn more about how to get the best value for a dollar spent in the corporate world. As the Purchasing Manager for a computer manufacturer, he was responsible for supervising over $10 million in annual purchases. Gary began The Dollar Stretcher website <www.TheDollarStretcher.com> and newsletters in April 1996. Over 300,000 readers benefit from the time and money saving ideas presented in The Dollar Stretcher newsletters each week. His mission is to help people "Live Better for Less". He also provides private label newsletters for companies wishing to provide money saving information for their clients and/or prospects. Gary lives in Florida along with his wife of thirty years and their two children. Much of his time is spent working with the men's ministry of his church. One of their ongoing projects is the "Holy Smoke BBQ" which sells bbq on Friday nights with the profits going to support local foster kids and orphans. When he has a free moment you’ll find him restoring a Checker station wagon nicknamed “Two Ton” or cruising in a '65 Impala SS Convertible with doo-wops playing in the background.
