Wiemann: Put Retirement Week Lessons To Work
Information provided byShelly A. Wiemann
Edward Jones
To raise public awareness about the importance of saving for retirement, Congress has designated the third week of October as National Save for Retirement Week. What lessons can you learn from this event?
First of all, save early – and save often. Too many people put off saving for retirement until they are in their late 40s – and even their 50s.

Just One Thing To Do This Week: Thank You For Your Service
By MARY BETH MAASSENIn Spring 2000 I went on a bit of a shopping spree at the Dillard’s 70 percent off end-of-season sale. I bought new North Face ski jackets for the whole family—two adults and three teenagers. I spent hundreds of dollars, but I saved over a thousand dollars and I thought it was a great deal — and we would no longer have to sport our trendy ‘80s color-block ski gear we had been wearing for years (yeah!).
Giddy with excitement, I hid the new jackets in the back of the coat closet until I had an appropriate moment to share the joyous news of my tremendous savings with my husband. Read More

Inspirational People: Keeping Magic Intact For Teen
By CAROL A. CLARKWith Christmas arriving month after next I am reminded of an incident I encountered last year in the checkout line at Smith’s.
A teenage boy whose eyes sparkled with that Christmas Eve magic was emptying his cart onto the conveyor belt. Gifts for the family, snacks and a holiday cake moved toward the checker. I remember thinking how excited and proud he appeared. I wondered if this was his first year working, making money to treat his parents and siblings to a Christmas celebration.
He beamed as he inserted his shiny new credit card Read More
