Hi Len; First let me say CONGRATULATIONS for the awesome numbers this week…. You’re such a great guy, that I’m not even jealous (well, maybe a tiny bit).
Thank you for the honor of listing my article about dysfunctional money behaviors as #1 on your post this week!!! The only thing better would be listed every week .
Now on to the panic, are you kidding me; after this year dividend taxes are going from 15% to 39.6%? For everyone? I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS!! Best regards, Barb F-R-I-E-D-B-E-R-G

Hi Len! I’d like to echo Barb in the congrats on your success! I also very much enjoy reading your posts! I had seen the post about the 5 Get Rich Schemes that work this week as well, and thought it was pretty funny! Keep up the good work!

Hi Len,
I’m not sure whether I should congratulate you or feel sorry for you on getting the article on MSN Smart Spending. I mean, kudos on more traffic, but so sorry about the stupid comments thereafter. Who are these self-righteous-low-brain-activity people?
And don’t get me started with comments that start with “When I was your age…” (mostly come from the boomers). Sigh.

Congrats on the new traffic high!! Do I hear ka-ching?
Cheers.

Thanks, Bytta! And no worries on the comments. They come with the territory and, to be honest, I find a lot of them to be rather amusing.

(And no, that’s not a ka-ching, you hear. That’s the timer – my chocolate chip cookies are ready to come out of the oven!)

Congrats on the traffic boost. Fortunately it looks like the Democrats are rethinking the Bush tax cuts because guess what, high taxes are unpopular!
