What a great post! There is nothing better than sharing your time with someone as a gift to them, I&#39;ve known this since my childhood when my greatest wish was to spend time with my Dad after my parents were divorced. The greatest thing about the holiday season is the time that we spend together with our family, our friends, and helping out in our communities!<br />In response to your asking

Way to go, RFCU board and staff! This is another example of why I am proud to be a member. Imagine if other local organizations established similar programs to help more people in our community. Thanks for helping lead the way! Let&#39;s hope there are some &quot;copycat&quot; do-gooders out there. Thanks, too, to Kingsley and all the folks at KTVL for this partnership.

According to me people should record their expenditure, they should note down their cc expenditure, they should use personal finance software to note their income and expenditure, etc. This will help them to make proper spending plan.

Sheryll, <br /><br />Thanks for your comment on the Financial Lighthouse blog post. I know that you and everyone else at the credit union are working very hard for our members right now. It is hard to put in words the appreciation that I have for your dedication as we all work together to make sure that we are providing the best possible service and value to our members. Our credit union is a

As an employee here at Rogue Federal Credit Union, I will be the 1st to admit that we are over worked, : ). The joy to this is that we have really felt the hearts of the community. We have not just been helping ones with financial difficulties but preparing others for what may come. For example, we have a handful of members who are concerned about what could happen with their credit card rates

Thank you for visiting the Ask Gene Blog!<br /> <br />Yes there are rebates available for foreign cars as well as American<br />made cars. For example, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan vehicles are eligible<br />for rebates. The main issue you will want to explore if you are looking<br />for a foreign vehicle is that many of the rebates expire after a certain<br />number of vehicles have been sold.

It sounds like the only discounts given are on American made vehicles. Does this sound accurate? Also, I noticed your Rogue Federal logo looks different. I like the more modern updated look.

Our country and our community have faced some difficult economic times and it is true that the credit union lost money in two of the first three months of 2009. The net result was a first quarter loss of $226,548. Our local unemployment rate, which now tops 14% in some of our local counties, is making it very difficult for many of our members to meet their monthly payment obligations with us.

through march, 2009 ROGUE reported a loss of over $225,000. How safe are member deposits at ROGUE? ROGUE also reports a NOTE PAYABLE of $5 Million. Looks like you borrowed a lot of money and now you are losing money. Did you borrow money and make losing bet?

I, too, have been conscious to purchase from local businesses. I've also really encouraged my friends and family to do things like take that vacation they've always wanted to go on, buy a new car, etc, as the price is right at this time. I'm finding that they're somewhat hesitant and still pinching every penny, but it's important for people to pick up and try to move forward. Great post!

Instead of saving away every penny and hording money, my family has made it a point to support locally owned businesses that we hope to see stay in business! From restaurants to the grocery store, Southern Oregon has many home-grown businesses that are competitive with National businesses and worth supporting. It's only a small contribution but I'm sure the owners of those businesses appreciate

Gene,<BR/><BR/>What a great story and you're right, we need to hear more of these today.<BR/><BR/>The old "bigger is better" theory sure went to crap this year and it's about time. Brian has been proving that for years, but now I think we're ready to listen.<BR/><BR/>Here's to much success to you and your community!<BR/><BR/>Love seeing you on the blog-o-sphere!

This is great news! Thank you, Gene, again for such relevant information, and for representing our interests in Washington so they would rethink their decision-making.<BR/><BR/>In a sober vein, however, this shows me that our Washington decision-makers don't necessarily know what they are doing. I'm sure they are more than full up with reading, meetings, opinions, etc. However I am seeing that

Thank you for the info and your generosity in not raising the credit union's interest rates on your visa cards. Enough other companies are raising their rates which raises the payment too, and in this economy a lot of us are having a hard enough time trying to get by as it is.
