So, who in the media is without sin among us? I am in the media and I am a major league sinner. I don't know anyone except my wife who isn't a big time sinner.

Nothing happens by itself... it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions.

I don't really consider myself to be a personal finance expert compared with some others. There are quite a few that know a lot more than I do.

People ask how I can be a conservative and still want higher taxes. It makes my head spin, and I guess it shows how old I am. But I thought that conservatives were supposed to like balanced budgets. I thought it was the conservative position to not leave heavy indebtedness to our grandchildren.

I am scared of getting old. I am scared of being ill.

You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.

A corporation's responsibility is to the shareholders, not its retirees and employees. Companies are doing everything they can to get rid of pension plans and they will succeed.
