Cars, with Jack Gillis
May 5, 2001
For some people, a car is a statement of status. For others, it's merely a way to get from one place to another. But no matter how you feel about your car, chances are you'd like it to be safe, reliable, and not too costly to drive. What car gets the best mileage? Which one costs the least to maintain? Where can you save money on insurance? Jack Gillis covers all of those concerns in his new book, The Ultimate Car Book 2001 (HarperResource, March 2001), and he'll join Chris Farrell for this edition of Sound Money.

Financial Freedom For Women, with Dee Lee
May 26, 2001
Financial knowledge is necessary for everyone, but it's especially important for women. Certified financial planner Dee Lee points out in her book Everywoman's Money: Financial Freedom (Alpha Books, January 2001) that financial planning is different for women for a number of reasons. Among them: Women live longer than men and need to plan for a longer retirement period; on average, women earn less than men; more than 50 percent of all marriages fail; and 90 percent of women become wholly responsible for their finances at some point in their lifetime. Lee will join Chris Farrell to talk about steps women can take to achieve and maintain financial freedom on this edition of Sound Money.
