Day three brought more weather surprises but also a great pair of back-to-back- interviews from people that were very honest about how they handle money.

In 2003 a small team and I traveled across America from Maryland to California to talk to people about money. credit, and debt.

- Crazy Unsafe Wall of Death Video
I’m not quite sure how to describe this video other than to say, “Are you F***ing Kidding Me!” Anyone besides me think this is crazy unsafe with the guy hanging out the window? On second thought, we might be able to solve some of our road congestion with driving down the sides of buildings. Some [...]
- Woman Hailed Hero by CNN After Paying Off Debt
I saw this video below on CNN about a woman that scrimped and saved to pay off her debt. While the effort sounds heroic the part of the story that concerns me is that it seems they used every dollar available to pay off the debt without putting money in a savings account. But her [...]

These two news organizations are going to provide long-term coverage on the city of Elkhart, Ind. to provide perspective on the national recession. It is a great idea and another interesting media sharing project to help media outlets share [...]
- Expect Tidal Wave Of Limit Reductions and Credit Card Closures to Hit Before Christmas
Yesterday I wrote about a little old hardware store that had noticed an increase in card purchases over cash. That’s not a good sign if people are using plastic more for routine things and especially in this environment of credit card issuers reducing credit limits, raising interest rates and closing cards. You see, the credit [...]
