Okay, so I had to laugh at this one. ABC Television is launching a one-hour special on Friday, May 29th @ 9PM ET that's "an unconventional look at the fundamentals of everyday finance with all the facts about credit cards, mortgages, stocks and bonds, investing and 401k's, in a fresh new format combining information and humor."
Most are completely free -- though a couple say right up front if only the first 2 or 4 issues are free. I get a couple of these mags myself, and I have never gotten a bill for them ever. Each mag has its own link to fill out the form to get it (where it says "click here"), so I'm sorry about that if it slows you down. If you do not like them, you can always donate them to a senior citizens center in town.
Have you ever wondered how a young inexperienced stock broker in training with Merrill Lynch or Goldman Sachs can be so correct on so many investments? He/she just learns to play what is called "the numbers game."
I'm an occasional air traveler these days, but I have had the uncomfortable experience on occasion to sit next on extremely overweight fellow traveler. It is very uncomfortable because the other guy is always apologizing for intruding on my "space"and I keep looking at my watch and can not wait for the adventure to end when the plane lands.

This very interesting article has quite a number of shocking revelations in it. I consider a microwave oven and a cable TV as a necessity and could care less about a cell phone. Take a look at the graphics in the article to see how your fellow citizens rate various day to day items as luxury or necessity. Do you agree or not? What appliance would you consider a luxury?
