1. Do you have holiday bills starting to come in, or are you still waiting for them to arrive? Was what you spent worth it? Or are you relieved to not have those bills come in because you spent cash or cut back?

We had a budget and spent only cash, so no holiday bills.

2. Do you know anyone who has been hurt by any of the latest financial scandals in the news?

Yes.

3. What have you been reading lately? Are you reading more about finances and money lately?

I read a lot of money message boards, but not anymore than usual.

4. Aside from the debt reduction efforts you are making, what is the biggest project you are working on right now? At home? At school? For charity? For yourself?

Right now I'm smack dab in the middle of a fight against our county animal shelter giving our pets to a class b research dealer who turns around and sells them for profit. Our group is trying to persuade our commissioners to end contract with the dealer. www.cccmontcalm.org

1. Do you have holiday bills starting to come in, or are you still waiting for them to arrive? Was what you spent worth it? Or are you relieved to not have those bills come in because you spent cash or cut back? ~ I spent just what I was going to, so that's ok. BUT my DH - for some completely unknown reason - decided to spend $1000 on ski equipment last week without my knowledge. I will be mad about it all over again when THAT bill comes in next month! ARGGGHHH!!!

2. Do you know anyone who has been hurt by any of the latest financial scandals in the news? ~ No.

3. What have you been reading lately? Are you reading more about finances and money lately? ~ I started reading the Bible again. I don't read many articles about finances and money at all, and I read even less about it now.

4. Aside from the debt reduction efforts you are making, what is the biggest project you are working on right now? At home? At school? For charity? For yourself? ~ Getting various legal and financial things straightened out, such as a will and where my savings are stashed.

No, paid cash

2. Do you know anyone who has been hurt by any of the latest financial scandals in the news?

Do not know of anyone - but then again, there are lots of relatives who are doing well and invest a lot. However, none of us talk to each other about finances.
However, living in a Detroit suburb the dismal economic condition is very evident.

3. What have you been reading lately? Are you reading more about finances and money lately?

For fun:
Am reading Haj by Leon Uris and makes it really poignant especially in view of the Gaza crisis now. Once one moves beyond the bias of the author, a really good read.

For school: a neverending list unfortunately - none as engrossing as the above

About finances: I am reading a LOT about finances since I am trying to learn a lot. I read a couple of message boards on ivillage and a few blogs. I am also trying to read as much professional advice online as I can.

4. Aside from the debt reduction efforts you are making, what is the biggest project you are working on right now? At home? At school? For charity? For yourself?

I am working on a research paper which I should finish by the weekend.
