After hearing multiple contacts by fake IRS calls, we were scratching our heads as to why! DOH….we understand now… these guys are really getting good.
Next Monday, October 17th, 2016 is the deadline for filing personal extensions. Timely fake calls.
Do not be fooled…it is easy to do if they catch you at the right time!
Interesting Consumer
In a recent Gallop pole, a broad group of folks are now finding it more important to save, rather than spend.
Source: Gallup Poll Social Series: Economy and Personal Finance. Based on results of Gallup Economy and Personal Finance poll conducted on April 6-10, 2016
Wow…. we want to dig deeper into this.
Initially this data may mean a headwind to the economy as consumer spending makes up the majority of the US Economy and economic growth. HOWEVER a healthier, financially stronger, happy consumer EVENTUALLY will feel empowered.
We like these types of numbers !
Birthday Boy
Due to confidentiality we can write very little about specific individuals… But a shout out to Donald “The Brain” on his Birthday today is ok !
Happy Birthday DC .. Thanks for all you do for all of us!
Travels
Next week (and later today) the schedule has out of state (and town) travels. This is the last for a while, and both include the gang, so all good …. Ahh, but that is next week and today is your Friday heading into a super fall temperature feeling weekend.
Enjoy your day, your Birthday and your weekend !

Newsletter Near the Presses – Neat topics-
Our editor is finishing up our regular Quarterly newsletter. This Newsletter offers some very timely topics, including some that are hitting the headlines right now.
Sentiment Rises
In an article titled “Everybody is Happy” we discuss various readings from the University of Michigan Consumer Surveys that show sentiment rising in multiple areas. Just by chance the following poll, from Gallup was just released… totally different poll…same result…
Russia- Putin
In one of our more lengthy articles, former Prime Minister of UK, David Cameron speaks candidly about Russia and Putin. With activity over the weekend occurring in Russia, another timely topic! Cameron’s interesting takes on Putin and his actions were very insightful.
Travel Tips
We offer three travel tips that may save you time, angst and money over the coming months as many of us non-regular travelers (present party included) hit the road.
The first tip, on how to help protect yourself when renting a car is from a recent and still pending situation earlier this year. Always glad to use personal experiences to warn and help others !
So we have teased the Newsletter enough, we will get it to the presses and publish it here soon along with our Video/Podcast review!
Have a Great Monday!
