@Paris 99 Hope springs eternal. Gardening is therapy for me, even if the harvest is disappointing. I don't think gardening is ever much of a grocery savings, but it's fun and healthy.

Re: Fee-Only Certified Financial Planners
@nolesrule Pretty tricky game for them to disclose then! Make and save enough that you seem competent, but not too much that you're greedy!

@Bruce So jealous of your phone plans! In Canada, I have a shared family plan for the kids and I (4 lines total) for $274. We don't have much competition and they soak us.
