saw this in the washington post and followed the link to the utah area -- i am charles trentelman, a columnist for the standard-examiner in ogden and, also, someone who has been avoiding buying new stuff for years (a newspaper salary makes this reasonably mandatory, but a mother who was raised during the Depression didn't hurt) and would love to hear from others who are in this group -- I've used my column to promote other financial help services, such as the Utah Saves deal, and this would be great to do one on.

Anyone here live in Top of Utah? Anything north of Bountiful? That's our circulation area, but i'd love to hear from anyone in Salt Lake, or anywhere in the beehive state.

send me a note if you would not mind being interviewed.
