Comment on Learn To Be More Content by Frugal Dad

Thanks for mentioning my article. I think contentment is one of the more powerful personal finance allies. Without it we crave everything, but with it we are able to resist opportunities created by marketing machines to separate us from our money.

Comment on Don’t Procrastinate On Long-Term Goals by Scott

I finally got around to opening up a 529 college account for my son this week. He’s already 2 and I had put it off for 2 years. My 4 year-old daughter has had hers open since she was 2 weeks old. I guess it could also be the difference between first and second born children. If we have a third, they may never get a savings account:)

Comment on Garage Sales for Gas Money by mikey777

I think that gas prices have a huge effect on almost everything these days. The higher the cost of fuel, the more it costs to ship anything and everything, from food to a pair of shoes.

It really is too bad our nation is so dependent on foreign oil. I saw on CNN a couple weeks ago that gasoline costs 45 cents per gallon in Saudi Arabia. That just proves that a huge resource our country depends on is controlled by someone else. I think I’ll buy one of those little red scooters…LoL

Dude. If you cannot afford the gas to get there - stay home. I mean, you can buy a brand new fridge at a garage sale for like what? $0.25? Listen, I’m broke myself but at some point you just gotta book at Puerta Backyarda. (sp?)
