Hello,
What a way to start a first week! We started moving on Saturday. Needless to say, this isn’t the ideal or typical week for me.

Our 10-year-old son has saved up $1,000. Right now, it’s in the bank earning a measly 2% interest. Since he won’t be needing this money until he’s 16 (for a car) or maybe not until 18 (for college), where would his money make the best interest?

My husband and I are trying to be debt free. However, we have a disagreement. He says we should concentrate all reserve cash on paying down our debts. I say we should concentrate a large bulk of it on paying down but should also save, to help eliminate the need to charge again, to break the cycle.
This is a discussion by author, Lorah Delaney, on the aftermath of the death of Diane Whipple in San Francisco and the struggle for recognition of her partner, Sharon Smith.
Everyone I’m sure has heard of the terrible death of Diane Whipple in San Francisco. A dog brutally and fatally attacked her, as she tried to enter her apartment. The circumstances and details of this abominable event are not the focus here. The aftermath of the tragedy strikes home again the need for continued advocacy and equality for lesbians and gays.
