Last night, the stars came out to celebrate the new Sundance Channel series, "The Day Before," which follows designers Sonia Rykiel, Proenza Schouler, Fendi by Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier, in the frantic final 36 hours leading up to their runway shows.
Not only were Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez (of Proenza Schouler) in attendance, but their pal (and Gossip Girl extraordinaire) Leighton Meester got all decked out in Proenza for the event, and rock heiress Alexandra Richards turned up to DJ the event. Oh, and did we mention Rachel Zoe was there, too? Needless to say, this is a fashion week must-see.
The four part series will be airing throughout fashion week, so you'll have multiple chances to indulge in your behind-the-scenes fantasies -- personally, we're probably most looking forward to seeing Karl in action ...

Bought a home in 2005.

Sold a Single Family home in 2003 in Schenectady, NY.
My experience with Kevin was excellent, I had 3 houses for sale all at the same time the first one 906 actually sold the night before it was listed, the second sold the day we listed it, and the 3rd sold about 30 days after the people moved out. He then helped me purchase the house I am living in today and have been here for 10years. Things went smooth and all my needs were taken care of. He was very punctual and performed with professionalism. He is a very comfortable person to deal with and even came to a couple of family functions. I recommend Kevin for future services needed.

Finished summer dresses
Now that I am officially free of the MCAT, the crafting bug has returned in force to ExerciseBeforeKnitting. I have many sewing projects to debut! This first dress is a bit delayed but you don't mind, do you?
Pattern: McCall's 4768
Last March, I was feeling a little bored of toddler sewing and anxious for summer to begin so I decided to try my first adult-sized garment. Let us just say that the only nice thing about this dress is the fabric: the sewing is sloppy, the fit is off and the pattern was tedious. Nevertheless, I am still terribly proud of it and will wear it in spite of the flaws. This garment taught me how to select future patterns, the importance of combining sizes and how a great print can hide many errors.
I learned that side darts stretching from the armholes to the hips on both sides look easier than cutting separate pieces for the top, middle and bottom, but that's a dirty, rotten lie. Not only were long darts harder, they were painfully tedious. I'm quite certain most of the work of this dress is in the darts. Small darts on skirts or at the bust are fine but I am officially done with torso-length darts!
I also learned not to cut a larger size based on the rationale that it is easier to take in than cut anew. Just because I want a dress to fit does not mean I ought to allow an extra 5/8″ at every seam just in case. With regards to sizing, I tried to get away with only using one size for the top, middle and bottom of the dress; this was a fatal mistake. After careful measurement, I discovered I need four different sizes at various points. Not two, not even three, four. This made me reconsider what kind of dress to choose. If I wanted a fitted dress, a darted, one-piece dress probably was not the best choice. For the next dress, I selected a pattern with multiple pieces so I could customize each to fit. I started this dress earlier this summer and although I had little sewing time, I snuck a seam or two in here and there. I finished this the day after my exam.
Pattern: New Look 6699
Fabric: Joel Dewberry Ginseng Collection, Spade Damask in Ivory
Since I used so many different sizes, I worried they would not join well together but I hardly noticed a problem. Modifying the pattern to fit was so easy to do and ultimately, more satisfying than cutting a larger size to (sort of) fit. But tell me, does it look like I'm wearing an evil version of the Nike swoosh? That's what I see in this fabric, although I like the overall effect!
It took me a long time to get these straps right. I still might shorten the right strap a little, as it does not feel as snug as the other one.
I was worried that the middle piece would look strange, since it is cut on the bias when the top and bottom pieces are not. I think the difference adds a bit to the garment overall, plus it makes for a more stretchy piece. My only regret is that the skirt is a smidge too big – I probably should have dropped down one size but having a little extra room never hurt anyone, right?
This is a weird angle but I wonder if this is how I look to tall people? Specifically, to Aaron, since he is 13 inches taller than me!
There may be more dresses to come but I think I will stick to faster, easier projects (like skirts) for now. But who knows? There may be time-consuming, harder projects (like quilts) waiting in the wings!

Yay for summer dresses! They both look great, but I know what you mean about fit and sizing issues. You'll figure it out more as you go along, if you do decide to make more dresses. I like the prints you chose!
Yep, this is exactly why I stick to skirts. Too much thinking about dress sizes makes my head hurt!
Wow! These both turned out great! I particularly love the Joel Dewberry fabric! I don't think it looks like evil Nike, I didn't even notice the similarity until you mentioned it. You're such a sewing rock star!
Love the dresses! Great fabric, as you noted, and quite impressive finished products. I'm sewing a top right now, and it's very different from little projects!
Dude, these are totally pro! Fantastic work! I see what you mean about the middle panel of the second dress being cut on the bias. I bet it would look super with a thin stripy print… but I can't say it's a problem here, I didn't even notice that element until you said something.
I love both dresses, they look gorgeous! I wish I could sew clothes!!!
Those dresses are so beautiful on you!
Congrats on getting that test behind you! You look fab in these dresses — I love them both but I think especially the first one.
Gorgeous Dresses!!!
They look fabulous and you look fabulous!
I love both of those dresses… great fit and what great fabrics!
Great dresses, and you look great in them! I know what you mean about dresses though, they can be tricky – the first one I made had major zipper issues and I never even showed off my attempt at making a maternity dress, it. was. horrible. Yours just look fantastic though.
yes, the fabric on that first dress hides a lot of the flaws (which i can't see at all!) so huzzah for that! love the second one especially that waist band bias piece. awesome.
These look fabulous! And funny thing about the evil Nike swoosh. I totally didn't notice until you mentioned it. It is a little Nike-swoosh-y, but you know, much more stylish. :)
I don't see the nike-swoosh. I see a smug beaked thing with it's eyes closed, and the other one is an alarmed beaked thing.
Ink blots, anyone?
what great fabrics!
They are both beautiful! Love the fabric, they look absolutely perfect to me ;)
Congrats on being done with the MCAT! Hope it went well.
The dresses are lovely. I wish I could sew for myself, but I don't have time or skill.
Those are both stunning. The skirt/top are beautiful! Very tailored!
both of those dresses are adorable. i especially love the print of the second one. i see little bird faces.
Very stylish and flattering dresses and well executed!
They look so fabulous, E~ I love the fit and the casual-yet-dressy look. You did a great job.
I love both dresses, and the fabrics of both are very fun! Thanks for the reviews, it always helps me when picking patterns.
I am so impressed with your sewing prowess! I think both dresses look great on you! I actually think it is harder to sew a well-fitted garment than to knit one…knits just have more give, y'know?
Those are beautiful! I so want to try sewing clothes, but I am scared. I think quilts seem easier than making a dress like the ones you're modeling! You look fabulous!
I think both dresses look amazing on you, and wish I could wear that shape! But I'm older, and don't exercise enough before knitting….
Both dresses look great on you!
I am with Kate, I see an oddly hypnotised owl in the dress. The print is just lovely and your sewing seems, to the unknowledgeable sewer that I am, just lovely. You've really restarted my desire to sew, I think that I am going to have to throw myself into it one of these days and stop worrying about wasting fabric, ruining patterns etc :D x
I love, love, love the dresses!
Beautiful! They came out great! Well worth the blood sweat and tears.

SPOKANE, Wash. — A former Shadle Park High School teacher appeared in court on Wednesday accused of sexual misconduct with a minor. Court documents showed that a student admitted to having sex with Ryan Murphy.
Murphy worked as an English teacher and a track coach at the time of the alleged misconduct. Spokane Public School District leaders said that Murphy worked for the district for more than one decade. District leaders allowed Murphy to resign in August of 2012 when the misconduct allegations arose.
Court documents stated that Murphy began an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old freshman when he was 40-years-old. The pair allegedly had sex at Murphy's home and in parking lots according to investigators.
The alleged victim told investigators that Murphy took her to the MAC and met her along Cliff Drive. She said that their meetings eventually lead to sex. Court documents details that the two met on Thursday because Murphy's wife was not home. They met regularly at the house and had sex according to the alleged victim.
The teenager added that they also had sex in Murphy's car at Woodridge Elementary School. She also told detectives that Murphy gave her letters and gifts.
Spokane Public School District leaders said they conducted their own extensive investigation.
The legal age of consent in Washington is 16. However, Murphy faces charges because he was an authoritative figure to the alleged victim.

"I love how these turned out! The picture quality is great and the font color was perfect. I was very impressed with the cardstock and the special envelopes were very nice. Fantastic customer service! They reviewed my card and checked the color of the ink to make sure it matched."
"Everyone loved her birth announcement!! They turned out great!! I was able to customize the fonts and colors to get the finished product I wanted!! Shipping was quick and I received them very fast!!"
"Great paper quality, and exactly what we expected based on the proof. Extremely quick review by the designer and the photo quality was great!"
"Great way to announce your baby! Our friends and family loved the cards. Excellent quality. Great layout. It covers all the information you would want to include, and you don't have to figure out the layout yourself!! I loved the square card, and used the regular postage envelope option. Even the envelopes are great quality. Highly recommended!"
"I used pictures both in sepia and warm colors on the blue background, the pictures in colors had a lot of yellow in them, and the result was beautiful. I used my son's vitals in the text as showed in the example, excluding the parents' names to make some room on the card. On the back I used a picture of Iver together with his siblings and some text. The product I received was even better than I expected, they brightened the colors on some of the pictures before printing, and the quality of the cards was excellent. Everyone who has received a card has told me they really liked it and that it was a fun design."

One of my bosses approached me a few days before the holiday (after I had given him his gift) and asked me if I'd mind waiting until the following week for my present because he'd been "overwhelmed" lately.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
A week after New Year's, he once again mentioned my "gift" and said he hadn't forgotten me but it was "not ready yet."
You see where I'm going with this. Valentine's Day passed and nothing.
This man can be absent-minded, and I'm wondering if he's simply forgotten me or if he never intended to give me a gift in the first place (although he has been generous in the past).
I'm wondering what I should say if the subject comes up again? What if it doesn't?
So far I've laughed it off, but I could really use the gift because we had no raises or bonuses this year.
Your witty advice would be appreciated.
— Kathy
Dear Kathy: Your letter illustrates one reason that I think giving substantial monetary gifts at the office is a terrible idea. You and your co-workers should be adequately compensated so you're not counting on your bosses' personal largess at the end of the year.
Because this is a personal gift and not a company-sanctioned bonus, you have no recourse when the gift doesn't happen. Nor should you bring it up to him.
If spring rolls around and your boss mentions his Christmas gift again (but doesn't produce it), you can say, "Well, one great way to celebrate Flag Day (June 14) would be for you to recommend me for a raise. That's the gift that keeps on giving, if you know what I mean."
Dear Amy: I have just gone through a divorce after 21 years of marriage. It was not my idea and was very painful for me. My children seemed to deal with it better than I have.
My 19-year-old son lives with me, and my 16-year-old daughter lives with her mom.
Since the divorce, my daughter and I have become very distant. We always texted each other and everything seemed fine until recently. I have told her how much I loved her and she always replied that she loved me too. Now she will not communicate with me. We have not had any arguments or anything of that nature.
People have told me that it is her age and that teenagers do not want to hang out with their parents.
My son just tells me she is very busy. She is a straight-A student.
I keep texting her every night to say hi and goodnight.

Daily Links and a Call for Blog Requests
Published on - July 15th, 2010 (Modified on - December 6th, 2013) (by J.D. Roth)
As you'll read tomorrow (or Monday), I've entered a new phase in my life. After years of hard work and long hours building this blog (time that I've enjoyed), I've been shifting things around so that I have more free time. As a result, I'm going to have more time to devote to creating quality blog posts, instead of rushing around at the last minute looking for something to write about.
Because of this, it's time yet again to take requests. I do this about once a year, and it's a great way to get a feel for what GRS readers are interested in. I'd be grateful if you'd take the time to leave a comment below with topic suggestions or article requests. It doesn't matter if we've covered the subject in the past. If you'd like me (or one of the other GRS staff) to write about it, let me know.
Have there been too many articles about credit cards? Too few articles about credit cards? Would you like to know more about individual savings accounts? Do you like the articles about the psychology of spending? Would it be helpful to have somebody come in to explain insurance concepts in plain English? Should I try to persuade my wife to share more of her recipes now and then? Let me know what you'd like to read about!
While you're all providing feedback about the site, here are a few recent articles of note:
Over at The Simple Dollar, Trent and his readers had a thoughtful discussion about the obligations of wealth. "I think there is some inherent distrust of the rich in the mainstream of American society," Trent writes as he describes how a wealthy person can keep from alienating his friends. There's so much to say about this topic; I'm tempted to write an entire article about it.
GRS reader Steven writes a blog called Hundred Goals, which is about achieving your goals while managing your finances. After Sierra's post this morning about travel, he dropped me a line to let me know that he has a recent article about how to have a great vacation.
Speaking of vacation, my pal Jason over at No Credit Needed spent time compiling day-use fees and free days for state parks across the United States. Handy page to bookmark!
And here's more travel! At The Art of Non-Conformity, my good friend Chris Guillebeau has posted a beginner's guide to travel hacking. I've been asking him to share this info for a long time; now I've got to take responsibility to use the knowledge he's shared.
Finally, I've been giving a lot of interviews lately. I'm much more comfortable with these than I used to be. (They used to scare me to death!) Some examples:
- Colleen from The Frisky interviewed me about how to save money even when you're living paycheck to paycheck. This is a tough quandary, something I'm asked about a lot.
- In an interview with BeFrugal, I discuss frugality, happiness, and conscious spending. (Note: "the ballot" should be "the balance" — I must have mumbled.)
- Jeff Rose at Good Financial Cents also interviewed me. This interview is very much about the process of writing a book, which may or may not interest you.
- I also spoke with Beverly Harzog from Card Ratings. We chatted about credit cards, of course, but also about other aspects of personal finance.
- Finally, USA Weekend has a short piece on how to give your 401(k) a midyear check, for which author Richard Eisenberg interviewed me back in May. This is a perfect example of how much work goes into even a small newspaper article. Eisenberg spent 20-30 minutes on the phone with me, and I'm sure he did the same with the other folks he quotes. Plus, I'll bet he spent a lot of time writing. I wouldn't be surprised if there were 4-6 hours in this small piece.
Okay, one last thing before I go. Tim pointed me to a two-year-old New York Times series about the debt trap, which includes an interactive infographic showing average household debt loads over the past century.
That's enough links for today. Please do leave a comment with topic requests or other feedback. Meanwhile, it's time for me to go do some yardwork…
This article is about Spare Change
I'd like to see articles speicifically detailing how to start on a budget – it can seem overwhelming when you're first starting out.
Many resources lay out a plan to get out of debt, how to save, or how to invest, but too few truly explain how to set up a budget from beginning to end.
Could you please do an article on saving for your children to go to college? What are all the options and what are the best options? I have looked into 529 plans, savings accounts, bonds, trust funds, etc, but I feel like I am missing something or like there's more to it that I'm just not seeing.
Thank you!
I would be interested in your thoughts and research on the social responsibility that comes with being wealthy (relative to most of the world), particularly the ideas of giving time and giving money to those less fortunate (both close to home and abroad).
I would love to read more nuts and bolts articles on where/how to stash your cash when you're saving to buy a house. Even after all the reading we've done, I'll confess we're at a loss.
For example, say you're debt free (with the exception of "good student loans" perhaps), have a solid emergency fund saved up, and are in a (very happy) position to start saving for your first house. You've got a bit of money to put away each month for this goal. And you don't intend to buy a house for 3-5 years. What vehicles are best (safest? most profitable? easiest?) for investing your house savings in the meantime?
(Completely unrelated – if you have any travel questions, I'd love to help out! My husband and I went on an 18 month trip around-the-world in 2005/06, and continue to travel internationally frequently each year. We're avid fans of traveling and of the idea that anything is possible!)
I'm always interested in more and better ways to organize my finances, track them, etc.; I would love to hear anything you and your cohorts have to say on the financial organization front. Thanks!
Hi J.D. This is not a request for a specific topic, but more of an interest in seeing more posts in a general area. I'd like to see more posts for those of us in the later stages of personal finance. That is, people who have no debts and are saving towards retirement or other long term goals or else people that are already financially independent. Thanks!
JD, it'd be great to hear about 529′s and saving for college for your kids in general. I don't have any yet, but my wife and I are planning to start in about a year and I'd like to start figuring out how to pay for their education.
I like your variety of posts in general, but I do wish you would write a post (or have someone write a post) about how terrible debt consolidation companies are, because I think a lot of people in the early stages are easy targets to those companies.
Wow, I thought at first you were going to stop updating the site! Glad to hear the opposite is true.
I been trying to get rich slowly in the stock market (for retirement) since 2000. It has been really discouraging, as that supposed magic of compounding interest has never worked for me. These dollars invested in my twenties were supposed to have tripled by now, instead I have earned just about 0%. How are we responsible, buy-and-hold investors to deal with this 10-year (and going) bear market?
I would love to see an article about the pros and cons of investing yourself. I don't mean like maintaining a 401k but actively managing individual investments. It seems like an engaging way to manage extra money if you don't mind the risk, but I don't even know where to get started.
I would be interested to see an article on how to establish credit as a recent immigrant with no credit history. I have good income, but that means nothing when applying for a credit card. I am treated exactly like someone who has no credit history because they declared bankruptcy or something.
J.D., I agree more writing about post-debt finance would be great.
In particular … probate?! I have a friend who recently passed away, and I'm her executrix. I went to Nolo Press to buy a CA Probate book, but a checklist and other "things to think about" AS the probate person, or to AVOID probate could be good.
For example, many people don't seem to know that Life Insurance or investment accounts with a designated beneficiary pass OUTSIDE of the estate.
Lots of meat in this topic, especially for those of use in our 40′s – we'll be dealing with parents' estates soon (if we haven't already!)
Keep up the good work.
EBRI constantly shows that a huge percentage of current/former retirees will run out of money. Articles speaking to this would be great.
Giving to charity wisely – either with money or time.
Basic estate planning and what to know when it comes time to handle your parents stuff.
More [guest] posts for living on the cheap with kids – esp. traveling
Any new tax changes that affect Joe Blow starting in January (esp if changes not made to estate tax or AMT before then)
Researching 401k fees
Buying vs. making, when is it worth it (ie: making bread is much cheaper, but what about losing all that time you could be spending with your kids or doing something else?)
Living on one average/modest income w/ a family…cases w/ rural/suburban/urban families..
I'm with Patrick @ 9.
Everyone continues to tell me the virtues of putting money into my Roth or 401k but my money would be worth just as much under my mattress. While I understand that historically that money should eventually grow I feel like its very much dependent on "hoping" the market is good near my retirement.
Are there other vehicles I should be investigating to diversify that risk?
I'd like to see more on the differences among singles, married with completely separate finances, married with half joint/half separate, and married with totally joint finances. There are so many options out there and I think it's interesting to see how others make this work for them.
My favorite posts deal with living better on less. The garden, cooking, and other ideas that lead to saving AND a better quality of life.
Maybe an in-depth post on the costs/benefits of buying an older car with higher miles vs a newer car with lower miles. I've been in the market for a "new" car for a couple of months now and have debated back and forth about this topic for awhile. Heck, maybe I will write it myself and send it in to you, and tell you about my own buying experience and why I chose what I did.
Other than that, I prefer articles dealing with the psychology of money over how-to articles that could easily just be static links.
Try this again…

Heck, maybe I will write it myself and send it in to you, and tell you about my own buying experience and why I chose what I did.
Other than that, I prefer articles dealing with the psychology of money over how-to articles that could easily just be static links.
I don't have any particular topics of interest, but I know I would like to see more "meaty" posts. What I mean is, I feel like a lot of posts by folks other than JD are sort of obvious, the kinds of things people can think of off the top of their head. I would rather see quality over quantity.
I would like to see posts that either begin a discussion about a subject (like the How Do You Define Financial Independence post) or posts that are actually original work, rather than a regurgitation of information available elsewhere, or via common sense. I don't mean to sound harsh at all, I've just been thinking about that recently.
Any posts specific to your "third stage" of personal finance would be great. There are plenty of get-out-of-debt blogs, but fewer about what to do when you get there.
I would love to see more articles on what do to after you are out of debt. If you are maxing out retirement accounts, what else can you do with your money to save for the future/retire as soon as possible.
I'd like to see a post from a health insurance broker about different options for family insurance plans, especially given the new legislation. My work plan is free for employees, but I'm paying around $1,000 per month for family coverage, and it may go up $300+ in a few months – talk about a budget buster! Since we are a healthy family, I'm considering a catastrophic coverage plan outside of my work plan, and then just pay for our doctor visits ourselves. If I can cut my insurance costs in half, that would be a huge benefit to our monthly bottom line.
I'd like to see something on Health Savings Accounts. It's the one tax-advantaged savings vehicle that I don't believe has EVER been covered here.
Budgeting, please! And yes to Insurance in plain English. Maybe the beginner's guide to understanding the stock market?
I'm with Jen W. Regarding retirement savings, what about that period between 5 and 10 years out? Where to put $, what does "keep more money in cash as you get closer to retirement" mean? What do you do if you can't get long-term care insurance? I guess I'm all about retirement and the scary question "do I have enough?" How do you really figure that out given all the unknowns?
I second the HSA suggestion. I just opened one this year and there are a lot of benefits to it for healthy folks who don't want to overpay on their premiums. It's an incentive to stay healthy for me and when I am 55 or 65 I think I can use all the money (tax free) on whatever I chose.
I also would like to see more on tax strategies. With only one out of two americans paying taxes I feel a little like a sucker sometimes. Living in Texas really helps my tax situation in that it is consumption based.
Also, there is a lot more to bonds than just buying debt off of treasury.gov. I would like to see an article with the general run-down on what exact to look for and invest in.
Finally, do I dare resurrect the life insurance debate? I have a whole life policy to supplement my overal wealth portfolio. Many would cringe, but as comment #9 alludes to, compound interest can only work in theory.
+1 to Jen W.'s request for "latter stage" posts on what to do AFTER the mortgage has been paid off, etc.
I'm always up for more discussion about investing.
How much money does one need to retire?
In what cases might an annuity make sense for a part of a retiree's portfolio?
How should one go about managing a portfolio during retirement? (Both from an asset allocation standpoint, as well as which accounts — taxable, Roth, or 401k — should be liquidated first?)
Or for younger investors:Why is a Roth typically promoted instead of a traditional IRA? (And does that make sense?)
Is a 529 a better way of saving for college than a Roth IRA?
What's an appropriate asset allocation for college savings (which tend to have a much shorter time frame than retirement savings)?
My daughter (20 years old and a college junior) asked me just yesterday how she should go about learning what to do to keep her financial house in order from the very start. I recommended this blog because you can begin learning things in digestable bites. Ignore posts that don't apply to you and follow links, comments and posts about subjects of relevance/interest. But the time she takes that leap from being supported by her parents to supporting herself, she should have a good grounding in practical personal finance.
That being said, I'm certain she would benefit greatly from posts that address what you should (and shouldn't) do when you make that great big leap.
I want to know what do I get beyond enough and reach is too much. I wasn't happy when I was spending my whole paycheck, but having millions of dollars isn't going to make spending my entire paycheck feel any better.
If I had millions, I can't see myself buying a brand new car, or paying for lots of redecorating at my house, or buying a lot of food that I would throw away. I'm not going to have millions (unless inflation gets a lot worse), but I will have "enough" at some point.
What happens to me when I reach my goals, and I have enough money to retire when I want? Should I take a break, and earn less? Should I increase the giving to those in need? Should I just turn it into more money? Should I buy a yacht?
I love this site particularly for the range of topics it covers. And even though I am far from the 3rd stage, it helps me to read those posts and imagine.
I'd love any tips on the breakdown of costs for a cross country move (US).
I also dig the psychology themed posts. Broad themes that interest me lately are money/control and money/power from the dark to the inspired.
I'd like to see an "Ask the Readers" piece about methods parents use to teach their children how to handle money, similar to the one you posted on 6/17/10 where folks shared their money management methods. We already have techniques we're using with our two kids, but I'm always interested to hear other real-world stories about what works and what doesn't for different families.
Things I'd like to see: more on investing, retirement savings, college savings, how to get kids through college without going broke, starting over financially (after divorce, new career, etc), creative travel on the cheap (not just how to save on a hotel or have a staycation but ideas for budget friendly vacations like trading a play to stay for volunteer work)
One thing you did that really stood out to me was the recent video contest … I learned so much from those videos!
Thank you.
Articles on the psychology of finances are great. How about something on "falling off the wagon" and ways to recover (I'm going through that myself right now). Also, ways to have fun for families & teens this summer without breaking the bank would be useful to me. And recipes are always welcome.
I love the blog, you guys keep me thinking about my finances every day.
I'd like to hear about how much a stay at home parent should save for retirement. I do some consulting so I make a little bit of money and I already have some money in a 457b from before I was a parent. My husband has a 401k through his work & will have a pension as well. If he is sufficiently covered, am I as well? I understand it doesn't make sense to have all our money in his name in case we were ever to divorce or something.
I also find it hard to guess how much money I'll spend in retirement. I can't imagine my life at 65 will look anything like my life at 29. I don't even know where I'll be living except that it won't be where I am now.
I'd be interested in reading how people have changed or what they have learned having gone thru this recession. Also would be helpful to have a post on financial planning when you have a child with a disability.
I'd be interested in reading more about getting started on the right foot. It seems that all the financial places and people I've heard are talking about how to get yourself out of debt, away from credit cards, etc. Well, my fiancée and I don't *have* any debt except for our student loans, and we're not worried about paying those until we're out of school, of course.
What should we do to get started off right?
What sorts of things should we put our money into (investments, Money Market Savings, CDs, ESAs for our future kids, etc)?
What should we look for in our first apartment together?
I'm seconding the requests for:
-saving for a house
-married vs. separate finances
-making vs. buying / time vs. money
-giving to charity wisely
My own request – what to do with a windfall.
Health insurance (including high deductible plans and HSAs)
Flexible spending accounts
Retirement savings
Saving for college
I love the range of topics from people from all levels of personal finance. I don't mind the complaining from people from different groups– it is good to see how other people feel even when they disagree with you (and it is good for them to see that people disagree and what is possible in the future).
I also agree with getting outside experts on the more advanced topics, but only if they're outside experts who aren't trying to sell something. I also know that these factual posts don't get many comments (usually around 35), but I still find them to be very valuable. I think of them as the meat of GRS, and something I can forward to other people, while the ones with 200+ posts are generally more fun but not necessarily as useful.
It would be great to see articles in series for example:
– Budgeting for beginners
– Saving for beginners
– Getting started for those deep in the hole, ie in debt & living paycheck to paycheck
– Advice for people who can't make ends meet – what to do when your income is not enough
– Continueing on the road to success in savings/investing etc. for those who are thankfully out of the hole or steadily climbing upward
– How to protect good credit
– How to improve a bad credit score/how to recover from financial irresponsibilty & bad habits
– What to do in crisis – lost job/long-term unemployment/facing bankruptcy & foreclosure
Thank you!
Since you're in a different stage of financial health, I'd love to see a post from you on the obligations of wealth.
I've loved Kris' posts on everything she's written about, but – since you've frequently mentioned that she was years ahead of you in this arena – I would love to hear her side of the story of the time when you were turning your financial life around. How did she react? What were her thoughts?
I've recently been thinking about a Health Savings Account – is that something you or any of the other writers could write about?
My husband and I have separate money accounts (a very controversial thing, so I read!) and I'd love to see more on how you two manage that.
I'll stop with 4 suggestions.
Hi. So glad to be a part of such a great website.
My "need" topic is in single parenting. As a single parent (3 children) working two jobs, I am frustrated that we still live paycheck to paycheck. No support is received from the other parent. After doing this for over 15 years, I would love to see financial comfort (not luxury), in our lives. While my income covers expenses, I don't find enough money to save, go on a vacation, repair/update the house.
I don't want to whine, because I am better off than others, but I want to enjoy life and not just exist. Is there help out there that I can use?
Second: My favorite posts deal with living better on less.
For the love of all that is good in this world, explain life insurance to me. Life insurance as an investment tool versus life insurance and, well, insurance… and how the various types of life insurance can serve different types of people.
Please and thank you!
I would love to hear how retirement savings goals should be altered or not altered, if you're guaranteed a pretty substantial pension. Just as an example, my husband is a police sergeant and while it's pretty thankless work, it comes with a great pension. I'm sure there are others in the same boat.
J.D., first, I loved the book. Very helpful.
I feel like my situation doesn't come up often in books like this. I'm in my early 30s, and my wife and I both have a crushing amount of student loan debt (200k or so between us). The payments consume about $2,000 a month just to stay current, which is a lot of our income (about 100k combined per year).
Anyway, I'd love to read a bit about dealing with large amounts of student loan debt.
I'd be interested in reading the psychological aspect of "third stage" of finance.
Most articles that talk about this stage advise where to invest, especially for retirement, but no one talks about the "why" or the personal aspect of it.
I would really like you to investigate and help with one particular money problem. It affects me and many other people suffering through this recession.
Currently many employers are denying jobs to applicants with poor credit histories. This puts an unfair burden on people who need jobs the most. Oregon recently passed a state law prohibiting employers from checking applicants' credit histories, even with their permission. But in most other states, well qualified job seekers are refused jobs due to poor credit.
So how can the average guy, unemployed and with debts caused by unemployment, get around this roadblock? I've been hunting for jobs for months and months, I cannot find anything but the most menial employment, because I am disqualified due to credit problems.
Yes, I know the credit issues. I spent many years working up good credit ratings, only to see mine ruined instantly after a local economic disaster (massive unemployment due to a flood) and then the recession. And there are many more like me. How can I dig myself out of a hole, how can I get a job, when the reason I really NEED a job is the same reason they won't give me one?

Organic solar cells on steel
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe and Solliance are counting on a highly promising form of power generation: organic photovoltaics (OPV).
OPVs are flexible solar cells made of light-active plastics and can be manufactured by cost-effective processes suitable for large-scale production. They may be less efficient than previous rigid solar cells based on silicon but they offer the potential to be made in large quantities at low cost and with reduced resource use. They therefore offer advantages when used on large surfaces, for example on roofs and facades of industrial buildings, where panels made of organic coated steel are typically used. To further develop this innovative technology, new processes are to be investigated to incorporate OPVs into flat steel products for use in the construction industry. This is the reason why ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe, one of the leading suppliers of coated flat steel products, is joining the Solliance research program on organic photovoltaics.

Fruitful Business
The value of Hawaii's exotic fruits is up 35 percent
Rambutan, longan, carambola, jaboticaba - the names alone are exotic. But add to them familiar island favorites, such as mango, lychee, poha and starfruit, and you have the makings of Hawaii's $1.8 million tropical specialty fruit industry.
It's a growing industry. Top sellers rambutan, mango and lychee in 2002 had combined sales of $1.3 million, equal to all of 2001 sales. Overall, the 2002 farm value of tropical specialty fruits was up a spectacular 35 percent over 2001. More acreage and maturing plantings helped boost the 2002 output. And there's more of the same ahead.
"We've seen more farmers here on the Big Island putting acreage in specialty fruits," says Susan Hamilton, vice president of Hula Brothers Inc., the state's largest producer of Hawaii's tropical specialty fruits, located in Kurtistown in East Hawaii. Headed by Susan's husband Bob, Hula Brothers is also a founding member of the Hawaii Tropical Fruit Cooperative. The group consists of seven exotic fruit growers on the Big Island and one on Kauai and was the recipient of the Governor's 2002 Exporter of the Year Award.
The current Mainland rage for exotic fruits has been driving the boom in the local industry. For Hula Brothers, a Gourmet magazine article last summer featuring their produce brought "a flood of orders" from all over the Mainland, says Hamilton. The cooperative exports 85 percent of its fruits to the U.S. Mainland - a large part of which goes to Asian-American communities in big cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston - and supplies the rest to the local market.
The cooperative also does a brisk mail-order business with rambutans and longans which are picked, packed, treated with Sure Beam electronic pasteurization to meet federal export requirements and shipped the same day to ensure fresh Hawaiian fruit. Hawaii Pride, run by Susan's brother Eric Weinert, handles the pasteurization, an environmentally friendly process that leaves taste, nutrition and vitamins intact.
On Maui, organic-fruit farmer Chuck Boener has initiated a sampling tour of the exotic fruits grown on his Kipahulu farm, Ono Organic Farms Inc., on the Hana coast. After his fruits were featured on the Travel Channel and Chef Wolfgang Puck's show, phone calls from tourists wanting to visit his organic farm prompted Boener to begin the twice-a-week agritourist venture, which charges $25 per adult (kids are free). On the tour, visitors are treated to a fresh-brewed cup of the farm's organic-grown coffee, followed by a sampling of the farm's organic exotic fruits, including mountain apples, sweet sop, starfruit, breadfruit and gourmet guavas.
A farmer for more than 25 years, Boener was certified as an organic farmer more than a decade ago and today is one of the state's largest diversified ag organic farmers in exotic fruits. Unlike the Hamiltons and except for a small order of organic apple bananas to a Honolulu health store, Boener keeps all of his farm's produce for the Maui market, even hand-delivering by truck his organic specialty fruits to the Valley Isle's upscale hotels and restaurants in Wailea. He takes the shortcut through Kaupo Gap.
With a high-end niche market for his fruits, Boener thinks 2004 will be a good year for his business, with more tourists projected to visit the islands. He also has plans to start raising organic beef on his family-owned acreage.
Hula Brothers is casting a more cautious eye on 2004, which should continue the company's sustained growth since it began in 1987. Susan Hamilton expresses concern over increased competition locally and from international growers from Mexico and South America, who, as of July 1, 2003, can now bring their fruits into the Mainland without restrictions.
"The Hawaii name on specialty fruits means quality and our growers need to work together to ensure that," she says. "And Hawaii agriculture needs everyone's support to keep the competitive edge for produce with the Hawaii label."

A high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. Java was originally called OAK, and was designed for handheld devices and set-top boxes. Oak was unsuccessful so in 1995 Sun changed the name to Java and modified the language to take advantage of the burgeoning World Wide Web.
Java is an object-oriented language similar to C++, but simplified to eliminate language features that cause common programming errors. Java source code files (files with a .java extension) are compiled into a format called bytecode (files with a .class extension), which can then be executed by a Java interpreter. Compiled Java code can run on most computers because Java interpreters and runtime environments, known as Java Virtual Machines (VMs), exist for most operating systems, including UNIX, the Macintosh OS, and Windows. Bytecode can also be converted directly into machine language instructions by a just-in-time compiler (JIT).
Java is a general purpose programming language with a number of features that make the language well suited for use on the World Wide Web. Small Java applications are called Java applets and can be downloaded from a Web server and run on your computer by a Java-compatible Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

MyScript Calculator (iOS|Android) is an app for both iOS and Android that lets you perform mathematical operations with freehand writing of expressions on your touch screen. This app won the Mobile App Showdown award at CES 2013 and after some time spent using it, it's easy to see why.
The simple-looking interface mimics the look of graph paper. In the top right of the screen you have buttons for undo and redo, and a trash can for when you want to clear the screen completely. In the upper left you can open a menu where you can access the settings with options for setting the number of decimal points the app displays, switching to left-handed input, and other things. But it also has an interesting setting called palm rejection; when turned on, the app will ignore the part of the hand that touches the screen, useful for those who naturally rest their hand on the writing surface when drawing numbers with a stylus.

Los Angeles • Al Jefferson's not panicking. Neither is Tyrone Corbin.
Despite watching the Jazz drop their fourth game in five Saturday during a 105-96 defeat to the Clippers at Staples Center, Utah's offensive centerpiece and coach said the same thing.
Storylines Jazz defenselessIn short » The Jazz are ripped apart by the Clippers, falling 105-96 Saturday.
Key stat » L.A. shoots 68.2 percent from the field during the first quarter and hits 9 of 13 3-pointers in the first half.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Are the Jazz (27-26) putting their season on the line at a very dangerous time? Undoubtedly.
With the loss, Utah fell 1.5 games behind Houston and Denver for eighth place in the Western Conference with 13 contests remaining.
Are Jefferson and Corbin worried or concerned? Not at all.
"We still believe in each other and we're still going to fight until it's all said and done," said Jefferson, who scored a co-game high 26 points but recorded just four rebounds. "We've been counted out before. But all we've got to do now is put [together] five or six games in a row and we'll be right back there where we were at."
But after Utah fell behind 38-22 to Los Angeles in just 12 minutes, trailed by as many as 19, and was down by 17 early during the fourth quarter, it's getting harder to reconcile a Jazz team that won six consecutive games from March 15-23 with one that's dropped three straight.
Utah was bullied by Boston, outpowered by lowly Sacramento and outgunned by a surging Clippers (31-21) squad that shot 54.2 percent from the field and hit 10 of 21 3-point attempts.
Devin Harris also preached calmness in the face of adversity. But following an energy-less five-point outing — during which the Jazz point guard attempted just four shots and was clearly outplayed by Chris Paul — Harris acknowledged Utah's suddenly out of synch.
"We've got to find that rhythm and it's tough to do," he said. "You can tell when guys are in rhythm, when guys are confident and shooting the ball. … It's been tough. Obviously we'll keep working at it and we'll find it."
During a contest that was often a blowout and rarely a fight, Utah allowed the Clippers to hit 12 of their initial 16 shots, including 5 of 6 from behind the 3-point line. Paul's 26 points topped the Clippers, while Blake Griffin added 24 for Los Angeles, which went 5-0 during its homestand. Paul and Griffin combined to shoot 20 of 30 from the floor.
"It was a good, solid win for us," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "I thought we got off to a very good start and shot the ball much better [Saturday], especially from deep. That opened up some things for us and we took control of the game."
Utah pulled off an 8-2 run to close the first half. And for all of the Jazz's struggles during the initial two quarters, Utah trailed only 57-45 at the break.
The blitz hit 16-2 before Los Angeles reacted. In just 4:21, the Jazz turned a rout into a fight, pulling within 57-53 after Paul Millsap sank a 16-footer.
But just as quickly as Utah was back in it, the Jazz were again falling backward.
A Griffin-led 11-2 run made it 75-61 Los Angeles, and the Clippers took a 79-66 lead into the fourth quarter.
Griffin converted a three-point play as soon as the final period began, and Utah was again staring at a 16-point deficit, despite Los Angeles briefly losing Paul to a bruised left elbow.
The Jazz made a final run, cutting a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to 90-82. But a missed layup and a turnover resulted in more Clippers momentum. And when Paul danced around Earl Watson on a fast-break layup, it was 94-82 Los Angeles.
Utah was finally out of rope.
"There is no excuse for us losing this game," Millsap said.Next Page >

Cancers in the abdominal cavity can be difficult to treat. But, a new form of heated chemotherapy may help patients like Venus Lopez.
The single mother of three will never forget the moment she heard those words. She says, "When they told me 'You have cancer.' I was, like, Oh, my God! Why me?" Lopez's battle was just beginning. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. Then, four years later, a doctor found melanoma in that same breast.
Then, ovarian cancer. Lopez says, "I said, you know what? I have my kids! I am going to fight this!"
She'd have to find the strength to fight one more cancer, in her appendix. That December, Lopez gave her doctor an ultimatum.
She wanted to be home for Christmas with her children. She made it home Christmas Eve.
Oncologist Dr. Rajesh Nair says Lopez has done very well on a new treatment called HIPEC. He says, "That's an acronym for "Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy." Right now, HIPEC is being used for cancers contained within the abdominal cavity. The chemo is delivered during surgery.
First, the surgeon removed the cancer that is visible. Then, a sterile solution is heated and circulated through the patient's body for up to two hours.
This helps to kill off remaining cancer cells than cannot be seen.
Dr. Nair says, "The main benefit of HIPEC is it allows us to attack the cancer in a slightly different way. Traditional chemotherapy is delivered through the veins.
But that's also one of the problems: its toxicity to the rest of the body."
Traditional chemo can cause nausea, vomiting and hair loss. HIPEC doesn't. Nair says, HIPEC is "delivered directly into that (abdominal) space, so the penetration of the drug into the bloodstream is limited."
There are side effects to HIPEC. At first Lopez lost her appetite. Then, she lost a lot of weight. She says, "I remember the doctor saying, 'You're going to get better. Just be patient. You're going to get better.' And, I got better. He was right."
Dr. Nair says, "In patients who have difficult situations, such as this, to be able to offer them something, to give them more hope, to prolong their live, and at a good quality of life, that is something very important to all of us."
Patients who undergo HIPEC typically stay in the hospital for a couple of weeks after their procedure. Right now, HIPEC is primarily used to treat adult cancer patients. If you think you might be a good candidate, talk to your oncologist about HIPEC and which surgeons might be offering the treatment in your area.

11. REQUESTS the Standing Committee, with support from the Bureau, and in consultation with the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), experts familiar with the Habitats Directive of the European Union, appropriate legal and other experts, and interested Contracting Parties, to develop for consideration and possible adoption at COP8 guidance for the Contracting Parties in interpreting Articles 2.5 and 4.2, if resources allow;
12. CALLS UPON any Contracting Parties that consider the deletion or restriction of the boundaries of a Ramsar site in the urgent national interest prior to COP8, to exercise the highest levels of environmental, economic and social impact assessment which take into consideration the full range of functions, services and benefits offered by the wetland; and
13. URGES those Contracting Parties or organizations with experience in issues of urgent national interest or similar determinations and habitat compensation and mitigation issues to provide any relevant information and materials to the Ramsar Bureau for consideration by the Standing Committee by no later than 30 September 1999.
2.
