		<description><![CDATA[I was just browsing around at Dillard&#8217;s, because they&#8217;ve just taken another round of markdowns and their online clearance is one of my favorite places to buy dresses. As I mentioned earlier this morning, I don&#8217;t have to look presentable all that often, but sometimes I do, and I enjoy having pretty things to wear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many people, the recent situation with the economy (do you like how I call it a &#8220;situation with the economy,&#8221; all genteel-like, sort of like how during World War II there was a situation with Germany?) has had dire consequences. Unemployment is up. Housing values are down. And the reality is that many families [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look; I&#8217;m a fan of stuff. I like having pretty new shoes and fun little gadgets. No one is ever going to accuse me of being some sort of ascetic. And there&#8217;s nothing wrong, per se, with wanting to have nice things. The problem comes, of course, when we have too many things, and/or when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got to thinking the other day when I posted about IRA contributions, and I realized we&#8217;ve never really hashed out the whole matter of paying down debt vs. saving for retirement, here.
And lord knows that many, many people&#8212;who are actually, you know, financial experts and not just incurable tightwards such as myself&#8212;have discussed this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a confession to make.
Prior to the current financial situation in this country (you know, the whole &#8220;we&#8217;re not saying the &#8216;r-word&#8217; therefore it&#8217;s not actually that thing that rhymes with concession!&#8221;), even as frugal as I generally am, I struggled to avoid falling into one of two extremely un-thrifty habits.

		<description><![CDATA[Hey, remember when you were young and carefree and life insurance was for old people? No? That&#8217;s because now you&#8217;re old and senile. Ha!
Everything I want to tell you today can be summed up in this one sentence: You need to have life insurance. The end.
But if you want to get picky&#8212;and more specific&#8212;about it, [...]]]></description>

I have a tremendous amount of respect for financial advisors like Dave Ramsey who have practical advice for people in dire financial straits. Truly, my admiration for them is vast and this is not [...]]]></description>

Most of us would like to know how to feed our families on a shoestring [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and when you start talking about saving money they get that deer-in-the-headlights stare going on. &#8220;I can&#8217;t possibly put any money in the bank,&#8221; they say. &#8220;I&#8217;m barely making ends meet as it is.&#8221;
If it&#8217;s that difficult to make your ends meet, it&#8217;s time to start considering different ends.
