Dear Family,

The EA exam just ended last night. Mostly, it went well. Examinees made lots of friends at the site, or ran into old friends. But, the exam in Houston was cancelled half-way through. So a bunch of people still need to take 2 parts of the exam. Oh fun!

Earlier this week, I got a loooong letter from Incorp Services Inc. of Nevada. It seems they objected to a Scam Alert I wrote over six months ago, back in February, naming their company as one of those who send misleading solicitations.

It's been a rather interesting conversation, actually. Their Director of Operations, Doug Ansell, may yet persuade me that the company has merit. You decide. Please read the initial discussion and give us your comments at the bottom of the page.

Do your eyes glaze over when that certain one of your friends or relatives starts talking about their relationships? You'll want to read today's Relationship Tip from Drs. Judith and Jim.

Now that the weather's changing, thoughts turn to Halloween. Plan the evening now, so you and your children can have fun, stay safe, be ready for all the ghouls ready to play tricks.

The tax relief Bill just went to President Bush for signature yesterday. Expect him to sign soon.

Read the overview of some of the key points below.

We also have a rather intriguging question about a credit card rebate that funds your IRA. How do you think that ought to work?

Oh yes! We have a bedroom makeover opportunity for you today. Read the details below.

More next week!

Best wishes,
Eva Rosenberg, EA
