Personal Finances

Since Jenny Migdal was called to jury duty, her faithful husband Walt stepped in to fill her shoes, along with fellow financial planners Brenda and Robyn Ashworth, gave lots of great ideas on spending, saving and debt...

If you didn't get one of the many handouts with resources, let one of the steering team members know and we'll get you a copy. A few people asked about credit scores too, and here's a link that gives more information: http://www.kiplinger.com/columns/ask/archive/close-a-creditcard-account-to-avoid-fees.html

    I've been experimenting with only cash for the grocery budget. Man oh man, I am spending a lot less $$ for food! It's amazing what having only a limited amount of $$ along will do for you. It's encouraged me to plan meals (even breakfast and lunch) and we use up EVERYTHING, so I'm throwing much less food away, too.

    The first week, I was $8 under budget. The second week, $1.25! Phew!

    I also have been taking a small amount off the top each each to 'save up' for when we need bulk items, like a case of soymilk or 20lb bag of brown rice from Costco.
