Does the Recession Find You with a Decimated 401(K), Your Savings Tanked and – Worse – Forced to Look for Work?
If so, you’re not alone. That’s what happened to one of my daughter’s co-workers, a guy we’ll call “Ron.” Perhaps you’ve known someone like Ron, or had a “Ron” at your office, too. If so, he’d be the guy who’s famous for taking penny-pinching to the “nth degree.”
According to my daughter, Ron scrimped and saved his whole life, building up a huge stock portfolio – with the intent of leaving his former college and several charities major endowments on his death.
She tells me Ron was the epitome of financial prudence. While she’s no slouch when it comes to being economical, she says this guy could one-up anyone when it came to scrimping and saving.

“Whatchutalkinabout!” Where Did You Come Up With Those Strange Words?
Don’t worry, there’s no need to run for a bar of soap to wash out your friend’s mouth when you hear words like:
- “Cougar“
- “Co-ho“
- “Craigslisting“
Likewise, when you see or hear these odd-looking words, there’s no need to furrow your forehead in confusion, as did the young Gary Coleman in that classic 70s sitcom, “Diff’rent Strokes.” (Remember, he became famous for his “straight man” line repeatedly delivered to his older brother, “Whatchutalkinbout Willis?“)
