Everyone hates junk mail, but aside from being annoying, it can also be dangerous (dun, dun, dun...).

Mini-Update: Reply-to-Reminders with Amount

I recently had a conversation with a friend about savings plans, and a related issue of contributing to savings vs. paying down long-term debt came up. This is a common gray area when it comes to looking at the most effective way to budget and manage your money, and probably one of the best articles I have read on this subject is this one over at Kiplingers. It has a very good outline of the be... Read More

David Cay Johnston, a New York Times investigative reporter and author of Perfectly Legal, and Free Lunch, was recently interviewed by Tom Ashbrook on On Point.

Update: Increased Schedule and Group Limits
Published on Feb 19, 2008
We have been somewhat quiet on this blog lately, but to make up for it, we just launched an update with a couple of improvements. Most notably, we have increased the Schedule and Group limits on the Plus plan to 40 and 25, respectively. You can see the updated plan details on the pricing page.
