I like the Kiplinger links. I am always suprised that about 50% of earners (the bottom half) are only 3% of the income tax base, whereas the other 50% (the top half) of earners are 97% of the income tax base. That’s really a huge difference.

#8 And they got their comeuppance–I believe they’re no longer in business.

Regarding restaurant tips, I often stick a storage container in my bag and when the meal comes, I put half (2/3s?) of it in the container immediately. Helps with the waistline as well as the budget, and makes me feel “green.” And the owners of several restaurants have thanked me for bringing my own container and saving them $.

I was turned in to collections once, by Blockbuster Video. Instead of simply calling me to alert me I forgot to put the DVD back in the case, they sent my account to collections! I’ve never set foot in a Blockbuster since.

Thanks so much for the mention JD!

I’m still learning about FB and using it to connect rather than broadcast.

“Over at The Simple Dollar, Trent did a handy round-up describing how once-a-month cooking works.”

I’ve tried it. Loved the convenience but it was very expensive. Eating out the other 30 days of the month nearly broke me.

I didn’t have any problems adopting Facebook, but I just can’t get into any other social networking sites like Twitter.

It’s not that I don’t understand how they work, it’s just that I don’t understand the point.

Adding to great links – Last weekend’s marketplace money on NPR was excellent , it dug into if/ when/how $250,000 is considered rich – or under what conditions it is not.

“Still, I know that many people who are struggling to get by need tips on how to handle collections effectively.”

JD, many claims with no validity whatsoever get turned over to collections, too. I have had to deal with an agency twice in my life, and neither had any basis in fact or law. What a hassle! Thanks for the link.

I was the same way with Facebook. It took me a while to get on. Once I did I realized I should have done it sooner. I have been able to build some solid relationships.

Also, thanks for your tips and advice. Greatly appreciated.
