QUESTION OF THE WEEK
|
| Question of the Week:
Do you have many friends who make a lot more—or less—money than
you earn? Do you find it difficult to maintain rich relationships
with people who don’t have the same financial resources that you
have? |

Question of the Week:
The last time you got a pay raise, was it because you asked for it
and made a case for why you were worth it–or because everyone in the

difference. |

Question of the Week:
Money can’t buy

Question of the Week: One reader
recently wrote in: “I have two teenage daughters who feel the
pinch from paycheck to paycheck right along with me. I’m hoping I
can teach them how to make their money work for them, so they won't
have to struggle as I do and be constantly stressed out.” What
tips can you give her for helping kids better understand the value
of a dollar? |

Question of the Week: Salaries
are among the best-kept secrets at most companies. Do you know how
much money your co-workers and supervisors make—and do you think
that openness about salaries would give you more incentive to excel
on the job? |

Question of the Week:
One woman recently wrote in, commenting about the humor piece
“Creative Accounting”
(Funny Business),
“If you have to lie to your husband about what you buy, you need to
re-evaluate either your shopping habits or your husband.”
While we agree that honesty is the best policy in matters of the
heart and the pocketbook, we wonder how many of you have ever told a
little white lie to your husband or significant other about money?
'Fess up.
