We have most of our money in a credit union. I like the idea of it and they have great customer service. But for convenience, I had my little checking account and the kids’ savings accounts at a local bank. It was once a Washington Mutual, and I liked them because they had free checking [...]

The other day I received a Facebook friend request from a name I did not recognize. Not unusual, for friends of friends do ask sometimes, so I did what I always do: I clicked on the person’s photo to see her profile and if we had any mutual friends. Lo and behold, I recognized the [...]
