A Debit Card will be Fine! – Seriously?!
College Kids with Credit Cards – WATCH OUT!! Watch the short news story linked below and see how I feel about new college kids with credit cards: Consumer Bob – NBC 7/39 – visits KCBQ & KPRZ studios to get GQ’s opinion on college kids with Credit Cards. At a dinner meeting last night a long-time friend of mine jumped on me and said “Your kids are gonna hate you” – “What, no Credit Cards for Gary’s college kids?” “Gary want’s his kids’ passwords?” – He had seen me on Consumer...
Read MoreHappy Graduation – Welcome to Crazy Town!!
College graduation day! How cool is that! . . . and yet there is something in the back of your mind – a little annoying thought that gives you the tingles every once in a while. It is like that dream that you have in college that you are late for the big test or you forgot to turn in your assigned project. The dream where you dream that you wake up and still cannot function properly. But finally you do wake up and you are OK – the test is tomorrow. What am I talking about? Your student loan is coming due. It’s that dream that you forgot something. The thing you...
Read MoreBig IRS News
IRS announced yesterday that it has been “working to put in place common-sense changes to the OIC program to more closely reflect real-world situations”. That’s big news in my world as a Financial Solutions Attorney. We have struggled for many years with the ridiculous rules that have made the IRS Offer-In-Compromise (OIC) program useless for many taxpayers.

Read MoreTie a knot and hang on.
As an attorney I get to talk with people every day about their personal and business situations. I have found that no matter where we are in life – financially or otherwise – most of us live at or very near to the end of our ropes. A wise man once said that living at the end of our rope is not far from reality – the key is to tie a knot and hang on. It is so true. As long as you have a knot tied at the end of your rope and are hanging on with one claw, you will be fine. But, you must hang on. To the right is a picture of my son Tyler and I on the “Diving...

BSA Varsity Scout Triathlon 4.28.12 Craig Sewing, a bunch of the youth I advise, my son Tyler, and I got out and competed in the BSA Varsity Scout Triathlon on Fiesta Island on Saturday. The event is for Boys, Girls, and youth leaders – I have been a youth and Boy Scout leader for 30 years. While on the air on KCBQ, I got Craig committed to compete this year and am glad he did. Getting to know him outside of the business environment was great. We spend so much time with people in specific situations and it is nice to get out and do something other than work. Yes, Craig is buffer...

It’s the weekend. Why not get out and exercise. I enjoyed this article from Outdoor Magazine on getting out and exercising without any fancy machine or equipment. Using the rock for weight – yeah, its free. A great idea if you want more resistance in your exercise.
