  20. I must admit, you are “new” to me, but it seems you may have come just in time.

    We’ve lived a great life with the motto, “you can’t take it with you when you die.” Now we’ve just hit our 50’s as healthy, active adults and we’re a little nervous that, if we live another 30 to 40 years, will we have enough money to get us through? We are rethinking our motto and need to “learn” how to revamp our finances. Your books would certainly provide the foundation that we need. And maybe we’ll discover a new motto too!!

    Working hard to be/stay financially free! I don’t know much about credit scores and would love to learn more.

  40. i need this. at age 3 i totally made a career change and rebooted my life. my boyfriend was the sole person who supported me 1000%. i am almost done with this program (culinary school) and we’ve decided to stick together and be THE ONE for each other. we’ve never been more solid. i’m blissfully lucky and think what we have is one of my greatest blessings. again, he’s the only one (my family doesn’t care/help/support) who had kept me from being homeless (literally, i swear) twice since being laidoff in 2009 from my last ‘real job’ so for me it’s about realizing i am now 44, and he is 47. we finally need to grow up, build a nest egg. finally i feel the time has come to be with the love of my life and take that next step of getting out of debt. thanks for reading my post. namaste. :o)

  41. lisa m. jones (@TexanChef43) says

  104. Liked the “Five Biggest Mistakes” article you recommended. My husband and I have made good and bad decisions over the years, but the #1 best decision we made was to buy less house than the bank thought we could afford. It was enough house for us, and the taxes and upkeep cost all we want to spend. Now it’s mortgage-free, which is such a comfort.

  105. Love all the helpful advice and guidance that you have provided me over the years; I always refer to you for everything finance related!!! I would love to have one of your books! Thanks.

  126. Lindsay Jones says

    You know you’re growing up when you find yourself ‘liking’ Liz Weston’s page on facebook and actually reading her posts more often than you check out the retail pages you’ve liked. In fact, the more I read your posts, the more retail pages I “unlike”.

  127. Yolanda Sims says

    Your books are educational and life changing I would love to have them.

  128. Brandylyn Landers says

    Looking to win those books Liz!!! Pick me!

    Thanks for your service.

  135. We are IN retirement and I find most suggestions and tips are for getting here! I would like to know why once one is retired it is not suggested to pay off a mortgage if funds are available. Is it because it is better to stay liquid with those required funds?

    Would very much like to receive your book “Ten Commandments of Money”. You give great advice.

  136. Anneliese C says

    Liz, I am not writing to win, but because I think others might be reading comments before posting, and I want to put in a good word for you. I have always liked your writing, and your advice always meets people where they *are*, instead of taking a “savvier than thou” approach. You really understand where the average person is coming from, but at the same time, you make no excuses for delivering no-nonsense advice (even tough love) when the situation calls for it. I hope whoever wins is just as inspired as I have been. Thanks for all you do! ~ Anneliese 🙂
