Consumer Sundays: Noxious Gas Policies and Teaching Kids about Finances
I do love Fridays... almost as much as I love the end of Thursdays. Why? Because getting through Thursdays (which is deadline day for the print part of my column) is like defusing a ticking time bomb. I never know if I'm going to finish the job or if I'm going to explode into bits before it gets done.
So the end of the day Thursday is euphoric.
Anyhoo, all the wind-up is just to prepare you for Consumer Sunday! Here's a question I have for you: If the needle on a gas gauge points to the letter "F" and no one is around to see it, does it mean the gas tank is full?
For the answer, tune in to Consuming Interests, the column, on Sunday.
We know the current economic troubles are worrying, but it also presents a pretty good opportunity to teach your children about finances and managing money. Eileen will tell you how to impart some financial wisdom the right way in her personal finance column on Sunday.
La Liz was out sick a couple days this week so Watchdog will be taking a sick day this weekend, too. We promise she'll be back in tip-top form next week. If you miss Liz's get 'er done attitude, check out the archives to see what Liz has helped fix in our fair city.
Have a good weekend everyone!
