The American economy may be moving like molasses in January, but have no doubt, it is moving. Between late 2008 and 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose in healthy double digits to the point that many investing stalwarts who stayed in stocks recouped the money they’d lost in that period, and then some. The national savings rate — income minus taxes and household expenses — rebounded from a negative number in 2006 to almost 6 percent in October 2010, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

That means creating a plan to ensure you don’t run out of money in the near term or far in the future. And paradoxically, it may mean creating a lifestyle that doesn’t place money at its core.

Prosecutors said Tuesday they plan to charge Lindsay Lohan with felony grand theft of a $2,500 necklace reported stolen from a jewelry store last month — the most serious count the actress has faced in more than three years of trouble with the law.
District Attorney’s spokeswoman Jane Robison said the charge will be filed Wednesday. Lohan, 24, is due in court for an arraignment on Wednesday afternoon.
Los Angeles police said Feb. 2 that Lohan was under investigation for taking a necklace from a Venice store later identified as Kamofie and Co. Detectives obtained a search warrant to try to retrieve the item from Lohan’s home, but it was turned in to a police station before any search was made.

I have nothing against friends and family offering advice when you come to them with a dilemma. It’s the people who pipe up, unbidden, because they see you with a child and assume you have no idea what you’re doing. Too often these people are elderly great-aunts. Fortunately those ladies are afraid of the Internet, so I can rail against them and they’ll be none the wiser! Thanks, ladies.
