[net.invest] How to Win When It Comes to Money

trough@ihuxa.UUCP (Chris Scussel) (10/11/84)

What do you do when your spouse or SO wants to sink the IRA money
and the mortgage payment into that Macadamia Nut Farm in Zanzibar? 
Remember that the appeal to common sense failed miserably when you
tried to avoid the Limited Partnership to build the Self-Sharpening
Alarm Clock.  So you've lost money but you've gained interesting
anecdotes.  

A well-known, national financial magazine wants your stories.
What ploys, guile, and strategies have you used to dissuade your
financial partner from squandering money?  Sufficiently interesting
tales may be anonymous.

Before Monday, October 15, call Lisa Kartus at 682-4434 and relate
your tales of woe and dough. If an answering machine answers, do
not panic.  Leave your name and number and I'll get back to you.
