My question to you today, as I bet you can guess: How would you answer any one, or several, of these very personal money questions? Start with an easy one, haha.

This comment is SO good: “Every woman on the fuck you side of menopause is a ‘feminist archetype’. The hormone blinders are off.”

Yeah, I think I may have to repeat that phrase . . .

Susie, the article about you and Veronica as well as other fab Veronica writings can be found at Veronicaverawrites.com. I was lucky to find this website. After reading the Candida Royale book I wanted to read more about Club 90. And I found the website which has older articles Veronica wrote for ADAM and more recent pieces. Veronica brought back many memories for me.when she wrote about Margo’s partner Priscilla Alexander who taught me gay culture and consoled me when Margo dumped me. Take care and enjoy the articles.

Money is always tight for everybody, and for one of two reasons - because a person spends freely, or because a person hoards it. I’ve learned that within limits, it doesn’t really matter too much how much someone makes - it’s all about what they do with it. Are they going to be Aunty Mame and live? Or are they going to be Unca Scrooge and deny themselves any pleasure and hoard? Lest we think those who hoard are better off in the long run, we could remind ourselves that parsimonious behavior becomes a habit, and hoarders commonly spend their entire lives accumulating mountains of gold - only to leave it to someone else when they die.

I have ever been one to spend freely, and am damned well going to enjoy my life. Thanks to a generous benefits plan I *should* have a decent retirement, assuming the Republicans don’t fuck up social security just on the eve of my retirement.

(Start.new.rant. About being Generation Jones and always being on the leading edge of those who government - and it’s always Republicans - pulls the financial rug out from under them.)

You nailed it. I think the pix of the $20 summed it up nicely.
