It seems that recession results in proliferation of cost-per-performance services which minimize marketing costs and risks for businesses. For instance, nationwide publicity can be obtained on pay-for-results-only terms from (Publicity Guaranteed) PublicityGuaranteed.com, online advertising can be obtained on pay-per-visitor terms from Google and Yahoo, cable TV offers revenue-sharing deals for infomercials and many services can be obtained for stock via Services4Stock.com. Does anybody know companies which offer advertising in print media on similar terms?

Gettting started
I'm 23, and my credit is in awesome shape! :D
The best way to exercise fiscal responsibility is to live within your means. That means paying off your full credit card balance every month, regardless of how painful it is.
To the person what wasn't sure how to get started, I found a financial advisor through my bank. He met me on a Saturday, and we talked for nearly two hours. I didn't end up making any decisions, but I definitely walked away knowing a lot more about my options. Once the economy settles down a little, I'm probably going to start investing.

Good advice
I'll be 20 in less than 2 months, and I've set out to learn more about saving for retirement early and investing. I watch Jim Cramer (and Suze Orman occasionally). I think I'm a pretty good saver, and I'm extremely frugal. I'm curious about what I should save for first, an emergency fund, a used car, or a Roth IRA after I graduate. It's only 2 years away, so I want to make sure I'm prepared. I'm going to check out your blog. Thanks!

Good Article
This all comes down to discipline. If you can be frugal 24/7, you will do just fine and have peace of mind. Now, please write an article on how to gain discipline without going to the Marines....???

The,.. (gasp) Future.
I'm 29 years old, I have no money saved, no investments, and make 40,000 a year. I now realize that growing up is not such a bad idea after all. I don't know anything about short or long term investing, but I want to start a future. Today I'm getting a 401k and was wondering what to do with it. What should someone do who is just starting out?
