Hello, So I will be on CNN on Friday. I think Gerri Willis and I should become best friends. The Financial Security Watch show starts at noon, est. so please tune in then. This time around, she plans on grilling me about my finances which are…hmmm…in need of help. Wish me luck!

The New York Times wrote this story about how gas may be $4 per gallon this spring. This so frightens me. The good thing about doing no-buy month is that I have been more thoughtful about my travels. I walk to the grocery store, if I have time. I walk to the bank. But we [...]
