Lisa and Michael

I don’t know why I get all uptight visiting car dealers, I guess it’s a gut feeling I get that they’re all out to screw us, Joe consumer. One of the many reasons why I love Lisa is her desire to save money, a quality both of us share. I think a major key to our great relationship is that we’re very open about money, something that tends to get in the way of a lot of other couples. It’s also great that the girls (usually) like to hear advice in that area. For example, I give Shari a lot of credit for deciding to take part in her 401(k) at her job. To think if I had started at 18 like she did. Wow!

It’s open enrollment time at PNM this week, and with all the changes taking place next year, I have some work to do in deciding how to set up my benefits. The contrast between PNM and APS (Lisa’s employer) are astonishing, it’ll be a big source of savings for us in 2008. But that’s another post.

Try screaming sometime. It may save you thousands.
