I love that! I get caught up in wanting to write letters of remembrance and reassurance, because yeah, the money stuff is cold and complicated. ...

Why not? I contemplate buying expensive things and then breathe a sigh of relief when I change my mind. My situation is a bit different. My...

Timely for me. Intellectually I know I don't need to worry. But for a long time I've felt vaguely nervous, that I need to "track" my net worth....

Unfortunately I couldn't reduce the size without losing the clarity. "Been there, done that.". ;)

We're in the path of totality, with yes, a whole lot of hoo hah being made about it. I'm more in the ho-hum camp, myself. Sorry Catherine! I do...

I've wondered about that too. Did they think the world was ending? Or did they have some sort of explanation or philosophy for the things they...

Thank you, happystuff! Thank you, Rosarugosa. It was primarily my husband's promotion opportunities and the fact that his family lives here. ...

Maybe there's a laser pointer thief on the loose. We've got a cat who's more like a dog, and it's one of his favorite toys. He's 12 years old, and...

Thank you Alan... Gracious as always :) Thank you, Tybee! I've always felt like yes, I could spend more and the opportunities for...

I can really identify with this. I'm an old-school simplifier from the days of Your Money Or Your Life, and this conundrum has plagued me to this...

Me too. I have missed you guys. I tried to sign on two years ago and couldn't, and figured I'd been banished, and then life got in the way again. ...
