Message from Lynn: Dear Friends: Can we "spring clean" in the dead of winter? Of course - and no dust clothe or vacuum is required! This is the perfect time of year to take stock of our family's financial records…..shredding what we no longer need and filing by year what we do need. January is ideal for reviewing the mountain of paper work that has accumulated over the months, reassessing yearly financial plans, and checking up on critical items like credit scores. This month's edition of MoneyWise offers guidance on what paper work needs to be kept and what can be discarded. There is also information on monitoring your credit score and assessing your family's emergency financial accounts. These are great topics to start the New Year out right. I wish you a blessed and prosperous 2006!	January, 2006 Issue archived past issues ... F R E E ... Click here to sign-up and begin receiving your free subscription of MoneyWI$E.
