I too need to pay the bills! 2 things, mostly unrelated. First re: coupons–so many are for packaged “food” that I find fewer and fewer to use now that I cook almost exclusively from scratch.

It's funny that you mention a radio appearance and Twitter in the same post - talk about old media and new media! - Steve Thanks for the mention, Trent.

There's a terrific <a href="http://www.velvet.id.au/twitter-wordpress-sidebar-widget/" rel="nofollow">Wordpress Sidebar Widget</a> that matches the CSS of your sidebar, so it's not as cheesy at Twitter's default badges.

Even if the fixed rate were 0%, you'd get 4.86% (CPI portion of bond), that's still higher than the 4.38% you'll be getting for 6 months if you bought in April. someone wrote over at My Money Blog asking why we don’t just wait and buy the bonds in May.

The idea of working hard to get ahead in the world seems to be getting lost lately in our era of government handouts. Though I don’t have kids yet, I like the idea of the commission based system.

Having that list lets her know without any doubt what is expected and what she will receive. And, other than birthday and holiday gifts, any toy she gets, she buys for herself with her earnings.

I worry that my daughter may rack up some serious money in bonus chores! She's been going around looking for projects to work on. If you do implement a commission schedule I would recommend putting a cap on weekly earnings to save your budget! Thanks for the mention, Trent.
