Several years ago, I responded angrily to an article written by this person about me and a conference I put on.&nbsp;I felt&nbsp;shocked, hurt, and confused about how this author couldn't see or value my hard work, my good intentions,&nbsp;and have an opinion so diametrically opposed to what every conference attendee experienced. I was also very concerned that people who read&nbsp;her article would believe her opinions and that my reputation would be damaged. I wrote her and the online magazine which published the article to express my displeasure over the tone and some factual errors.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></strong><br> <br> <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>It's a free country, for sure, and it's been said that people have a right to their own opinion but not their own facts. These days, howver, we can't be too naive or surprised about anything. I received no apology and no corrections or retractions. I felt helpless and frustrated.&nbsp;But I&nbsp;survived--and even thrived. Yet, I&nbsp;had hoped to&nbsp;never&nbsp;cross paths with&nbsp;her again. I had to learn--and am still learning--that not everybody likes me or values me or my work.&nbsp;I realize&nbsp;we have to learn to take some criticism; anyone putting himself out there or doing important work is going to have his critics. </span></strong><br> <br> <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Fast forward nearly six years later.&nbsp;I'd become aware in the last year that this author was publishing a book; I had a pretty good feeling that I'd be mentioned in it--again, unfairly and unfavorably. Although I'd become more secure about myself and my work and less concerned about what people believed or about my reputation, I still felt uneasy about the prospect of this woman doing &quot;another hit job&quot; on me. There it was again: my need to control, my need to be liked, my need for approval. I knew this on an intellectual level but my emotions continued to run me. Six months ago, I attempted a pre-emptive strike: I e-mailed the author and the publisher to let them know I was aware of the impending publication and my concerns about the author's past history of poor fact-checking and biased or slanted reporting of information. I received a weak response from the publisher: &quot;Please contact us if you have concerns after the book is published.&quot; I was never contacted by a fact-checker. Big surprise.</span></strong><br> <br> <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Over the next six months, I went about my life--I was writing a book of my own. When I received&nbsp;her book in the mail, sure enough, I was mentioned--in a similarly inaccurate and disparaging manner.

My hope was that I'd at least get an apology and a commitment to correct some errors. I knew I was taking a risk with my tone--they say you catch more bees with honey than vinegar--but, I'd talked myself into believing you have to be a loose cannon to be taken seriously. </span></strong><br> <br> <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>While waiting for a response, I finally confided in few friends. One told me: &quot;I understand your reaction and your actions; you can't play Mr. Nice Guy with people like that.

It's still hard to hear or read something about yourself you feel is mean or untrue, but as Shakespeare said: &quot;Thou Doest Protest Too Much!&quot; It's important to examine our shadow--or unconscious--sides, too. Maybe there's a little truth in there and that's why it hurts. But, it's like bringing home a report card with 5 A's and 1 B and all that gets focused on is the B. That's the world we live in.

And it's good to remember that's what's really important. I'm sure the author has family, friends and others who respect, appreciate and support her, too. We can't be that different, can we? We're both teachers and writers. And while I can't imagine writing anything mean-spirited about another person (as I believe she&nbsp;did to me), I guess I just proved I can do the same thing.

What would you do with the windfall? If you're like most Americans, you'd spend it, says certified financial planner Stuart L. Ritter, who works at T. Rowe Price. &quot;The idea of mishandling sudden money may sound counterintuitive,&quot; he says, &quot;but [consumers] will do a couple things that put them in debt. First, a big chunk of that money goes to taxes, and second, if they're married, each spouse might go off buying what they want, or one will buy something with a monthly payment that's usually out of the budget.&quot; Moral of the story: Plan as much as you can for a windfall and talk through priorities with your spouse, Ritter says. </span><strong><span _mce_style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 8pt;"><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:black'>&quot;Recognize that you need to think about this money the same way you think about the other money you have in terms of important goals and how you're going to pursue those goals,&quot; he says. &quot;[The windfall] doesn't help nearly as much as other people think it will,&quot; especially if you treat it as remodeling money, say, instead of money to put toward the household budget.</span></span></strong><span style='font-size:8.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:#333333'><br> <br> Like the R.E.M. song, Losing My Religion, losing sight of your financial goals can feel just as hopeless. It's one thing to covet your neighbor's possessions, but adopting someone else's money values entirely is a sure way to sidetrack your goals, says Ritter. &quot;Society expects the big wedding, consumers think, 'Of course, I need a big wedding dress', and family members are expected to pick up the check at the family reunion,&quot; he says. But &quot;letting other people decide how you should spend your money, whether it's indirectly or directly, shows you're not being principled in how you incorporate your own priorities into what you think people's expectations are. People can end up with a disconnect between what actually fits into their household budget and what they think they're supposed to be doing and end up spending their future income today.&quot; </span><strong><span _mce_style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 8pt;"><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:black'>As with all goal-setting, prioritizing one thing means putting another on the backburner. Not that that's a bad thing, Ritter says. His clunker of a car gets made fun of left and right, but he sees the money saved by not buying a new one as &quot;an opportunity to send my kids to college.&quot; Or as Huffstetler bluntly puts it, &quot;I say the Joneses can kiss my assets.&quot;</span></span></strong><span style='font-size:8.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; color:#333333'><br> <br> </span><strong><span style='font-size:8.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:black'><span _mce_style="color: #000000;">Terrence Shulman, founder and director of The Shulman Center for Compulsive Theft, Spending and Hoarding -- a for-profit center that works with shopaholics -- agrees, adding that if spenders feel like they have to treat themselves or they'll go crazy, they're bound to go overboard and start a cycle of shame, more spending and debt. &quot;You have to think of different ways to reward yourself,&quot; Shulman advises, noting that having &quot;accountability people or a support group,&quot; or finding other creative ways to indulge can help keep consumers on track. Often, he adds, feelings of inadequacy rooted in one's upbringing can be at play, so it's important to work through those too, perhaps with a counselor or support group like Debtors Anonymous.</span></span></strong></span><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#993366'><o:p></o:p></span></span></h2> <p style='margin-right:6.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-outline-level:3' _mce_style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 6pt;"><strong><span _mce_style="font-family: Arial;"><span style='font-size:8.0pt; color:black'>Feeling so cynical...</span></span></strong><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;color:#993366'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p style='margin-right:6.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-outline-level:3' _mce_style="text-align: justify; margin-right: 6pt;"><strong><span _mce_style="font-size: 8pt;"><span _mce_style="font-family: Arial;"><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>&quot;People are getting jaded,&quot; Shulman says. &quot;They're seeing what's going on in politics, the fraud in banking and mortgages, and they're feeling like there's no fairness. And because they feel like the whole ship is going down anyway, they think, 'I probably can't pay it off and this is just a big mess, so why not live now?'&quot; But the consequences of this devil-may-care spending habit might be worse: Carelessly piling on debt can lead to a poor credit score and all the headaches that come with it, from being denied a home loan to getting rejected for car loans and credit cards. Lacking a security cushion for you or your family could also put you in the unenviable position of having to take on a second job, or ask a distant relative for a handout.
