Michelle Singletary on readers' financial fasts

[Sire743]

Ms. Singletary, I know this challenge was posted back in January but I just wanted to say that after watching some of your other presentations on Youtube, I feel vindicated in my financial practices because of your sound financial sense. Found an abandoned Dyson vac on someone's lawn a couple of days ago. Roller brush broken. With my skills in repair I was able to fix it after a trip to my local hardware store and $4 bucks in PVC, nuts, washers and a skate bearing.

$200 vacuum now working. DC15.

No problem Divine. (Didn't I see you on stage at the Apex Club?)

I love your column. As an accounting student I am always watching my finances closely. I read about your challenge recently and I am going to give it a try. You are awesome!!!

This comment is so out of line. Please refrain from such posts.

I just saw your show on TV1 and I want to thank women like you for telling women to get court ordered child support. Now I'm paying less than I was "willingly giving". So if a man is doing the right thing, you might want to think twice before you "get the white man" on him because their whole agenda is to cause conflict and chaos and keep black families separated. They gave you welfare checks to keep the black man out of the house, now their selling you child support checks to do the same thing.
