Message from Lynn: Dear Friends: April showers may bring May flowers, but if your spending is out of control and you don't have a financial plan for the future, you may experience a financial thunderstorm for the rest of the year. We all know that it is very easy to get behind and incredibly difficult to recover. There are increases everywhere we look - from gas prices to mortgages rates. A sound budget will help all of us overcome those cloudy days. This month's MoneyWise offers some advice on putting together a financial plan for your family, establishing a safety net, and how to get out of credit card debt. Hope you find this information helpful.	April, 2007 Issue archived past issues ... F R E E ... Click here to sign-up and begin receiving your free subscription of MoneyWI$E.
