Comments on: Andy Knows How To Save

Andy Rooney Shares His Favorite Ways To Save Money

Dear Andy,
Good on you! It''s nice to hear a voice of sense and sanity in this profligate and wasteful culture we have become. Keep it up!
Without being too presumptious, could I suggest a couple of topics for the future.
1. I have noticed in recent years that any promotion in the media for government savings bonds has completely dissapeared. Why is that? Could it be that our government and their business overlords don''t want us saving money? Perhaps it''s more profitable for them if we are profligate and wasteful.
2. I''ve also noticed that the government is wasting taxpayer money on TV advertising in it''s futile attempt to shove that one dollar coin down our throats. Nobody wants it. They''ve tried several incarnations of the dadgum thing - nothing''s worked, don''t they get the message?
I won''t bother ranting about that accursed penney.

Thank You...

Dear Andy,

We just watched you segment re. saving money with the little things. It was good, but I was little dissapointed that you didn''t mention electricity in the home.

My wife thinks I am a control freak because I follow her around turning off lights in rooms she leaves for more than 5 minutes.


I estimate that we save about $100 per month with my "controlling " behavior. Like most people, I am just trying to save a little money in hard economic times.

Please use my full name, Darryl Brasken, and if you can, let me know when you may air a segment on this. I want her to see it. We watch 60 Minutes almost every week.

I don''t want my wife to think I am crazy, and I think if she sees this from a relibale source, she may take me more seriously on this issue.

I really hope you do this for me. I think it actually may help more Americans from wasting money on unnessay electrical use.

Plaese let me know if you read this and will consider my request.

Sincerely,

Darryl

Dear Andy,

Are you going to have all that money you saved buried with you?

Dear CBS - Andy Rooney is so highly irrelevant in today''s world, it''s painful to have him as the closing statements to your otherwise newsworthy 60 minutes. Do us all a favor -- give the guy a severance package, and send him on his way. Otherwise, I''m headed over to another channel.

I thought Rooney was dead.

Ah Andy, by now you should be spending some of what
you have saved for all those years.

This is the picture of America today.

EVERYONE has to work.

Even the elderly.

And don''t say it''s because he likes to work,
if that was the case, Andy would not have
to be saving what he earns at his age.

Whoever does the overlay, while Andy is explaining the difference in price of filling his tank with various gas grades, should be shot. I, in an adjoining room, heard nothing wrong with Andy''s explanation. My wife, sitting in front of the tv, was relaying the figures on the screen. I thought she was hallucinating until I saw the replay (DVR). When showing the math for the middle grade, you will find that (16) X (2.49) does not equal (38.40). Perhaps, the figures should have been (16) X (2.40). It''s a good thing Andy wasn''t reading off the screen. His observations are, both, humorous and insightful. Please don''t make him look foolish!!!
