1. Favorite candy: Swedish Fish! Favorite magazine: Cottage Living. Favorite Children's book: Not sure....They aren't really children's books, but I am re-reading the Harry Potter series this summer and I'm enjoying those all over again.


2. I've always wanted a name like "Celery" or "Bunny". One of those kind of odd names that really rich people have. (Weird, I know).


3. I talk about finances a lot, especially with women and with teens just starting out with financial planning. The big thing I tell them is to pay themselves first, and pay themselves 20% right from the start. I talk about CC debt with some people; but, not everyone wants to hear that they can wait on a new TV or the latest gizmo, so that doesn't always get the reception that saving 20% does. Most people get pretty excited about that.
