$20 for gas money to a student in Los Angeles, Ca.

I got a letter last week from Michelle B. who is 17 and lives near Los Angeles, Ca. She is getting ready to start college (do 17 year olds really go to college???) and said she could use some gas money or some cash for other expenses.

I was impressed that she was pursuing higher education, so I am mailing her a $20 money order that she can use for food, entertainment or gasoline for her car.

Good luck at school, Michelle!

August 6...nice day for a giveaway

It's just a great day. So I decided to send $120 to Mick from Vermont. He needs to pay his electric bill and his water bill.

I just wish my electric bill was only $120! Does anyone know a good way to save money when you're running air conditioners in the summer????

Anyway, check back tomorrow, and keep the emails coming. You never know when I'll decide to give away more cash.

$25 to Michelle from Iowa for lottery tickets!

Today I sent out a money order for $25 to a Michelle C. from Iowa which she said she plans to spend on lottery tickets.

Have fun Michelle. I hope you can turn that $25 into a million!

Who says Friday the 13th is unlucky????
