Random Thoughts: So Many Questions

I was astonished at the response I had to my posting Do you have saving questions? and I thank all of those who posted about their financial situations. I will not comment on them specifically, but I am astounded by the responses. That piece started as something completely different and then I realized how many questions I had written and wondered if I could make an entire post of questions.
