Money, Honey!

I had ninety-two trick-or-treaters on Saturday, so I am still recovering. They were fun and dear, and I love the old-fashionedness of having neighbors come to call, but for a person used to living alone, the pounding of feet and fists outside the door can start to become the very tiniest bit overwhelming when candy is running low and the hour is getting late! I spent Sunday in a movie-marathon haze (which included Getting Out of Rhode Island, one on a long list of Rhody-made movies I am happily Netflixing my way through) and am now back on track, ready to think about leaves and money. Leaves because they are all over the yard and I'm not sure if it is horrible to ignore them (Is there a law in Rhode Island, like with snow, that you must shovel the sidewalks clear of them?) and money because we're doing a story about it in February. Which leads me to ask you: What is your biggest money problem?

Are you an uncontrollable spender, not sure how to save, being eaten alive by jealousy of rich people? Email to tell me because I am seeking volunteers who want help getting their issues under control. (Come on -- free advice from a financial planner! You can't pass this up.) And then stay tuned for the February issue.
